Elvis Costello
I love Elvis Costello.
His wife is identified as a likely ISTp or ESTj below. Here is a photo of the two of them:
A few more photos of him:

And lyrics from a couple of songs:
Elvis Costello
Accidents Will Happen
oh I just don't know where to begin
love just doesn't wait forever
it's now or never
but she keeps him hanging on
the silly cheering her on
she says she can't go home without a chaperon
chorus
accidents will happen
they're only hit and run
you used to be a victim
now you're not the only one
accidents will happen
they're only hit and run
I don't want to hear it
'cause I know what I've done
there's so many fish in the sea
that only rise up in a sweat of smoke like mercury
but they keep you hanging on
they say you're so young
your mind is made up
but your mouth is undone
chorus
and it's the damage that we do
you'll never know
it's the words that we don't say
that scare me so
there are so many people to see
so many people you can check upon
and add to your collection
but they keep you hanging on
until you're well hung
your mouth is made up
but your mind is undone
chorus
Elvis Costello
Sulky Girl
She wears a wedding ring her sister lent
To throw them off the scent
Just let them guess; it's what they expect
Who in the world has bitten her neck?
She's discovered wearing last night's dress
The carnal and cunning she couldn't express
Who do you think she's trying to impress
Chorus:
I think you'd better hold your tongue
Although you've never been that strong
I'm sorry to say that I knew all along
You're no match for that sulky girl
She left her European town
Before she let the family down
She couldn't stand the massacre game
So she dyed her hair, adopted another name
With the evidence of passing out
Stamped on her hand; she glows in the dark
He thinks she's from another planet
So,
-chorus-
Sulky girl
I'm sure you look a picture when you cry
Threatening the silent treatment doesn't qualify
It's like money in the bank
Your expression is blank
And when a chance appears
You'll be nearer to tears
Sulky girl (x2)
He said "Hello my pretty flower"
Just trying out his tycoon power
Avoiding the mirror, her pitying stare
She said "Your're mistaken
Your money's no good in here"
Just some stupid little know-it-all
You thought she looked easy
He's not that astute
You'll pay for the distance
Between cruelty and beauty
-chorus-
I won't tell you again
What do you gain by blackening her name
She's smarter than you
Oh isn't it a shame
You're going to lose that sulky girl
Sulky girl
I saw you practicing your blackmail faces
Suddenly you're talking like a dutchess
But you're still a waitress
I saw through your pretense
But in my defence
There are a few events
I think will spell the sentence
Sulky girl (x4)
Elvis Costello
Everyday I Write The Book
Don't tell me you don't know what love is
When you're old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote
I'm a man with a mission in two or three editions
And I'm giving you a longing look
Everyday, everyday, everyday I write the book
Chapter One we didn't really get along
Chapter Two I think I fell in love with you
You said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter Three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters Four, Five and Six
The way you walk
The way you talk, and try to kiss me, and laugh
In four or five paragraphs
All your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks
Don't tell me you don't know the difference
Between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter
Even in a perfect world where everyone was equal
I'd still own the film rightsand be working on the sequel
