The list of songs on the Elvis Costello wiki at elviscostello.info lists 748 songs that were "recorded by Elvis Costello, including songs by other artists that feature Elvis on vocals, and songs written by Elvis Costello, recorded and released by others." I would guess that at least 600 of them were written by him. Impressive if you ask me.
Elvis Costello & The Attractions
"Everyday I Write the Book" was created and released in 1983 by Elvis Costello. The song is from his album "Punch the Clock."
Springsteen did write a song entitled "Fire", but there are a number of songs with the same one-word title. Hendrix had a monster hit with his own song Fire, and other songs of the same name have been recorded by artists as diverse as the Ohio Players and the Beach Boys.Springsteen's song was originally written with the idea that Elvis Presley would record it, as Bruce was a huge Elvis fan. However, after it was written, Elvis died in 1977, and Bruce ended up giving the song to Robert Gordon, a rockabilly artist in the New York music scene. Gordon released his version in 1978. Springsteen also recorded the song at this time, during the sessions for his 1978 Darkness on the Edge of Town, but he ended up not releasing his version on that album (that version was just released in later 2010 on his 2 record set The Promise, made up of outtakes from the "Darkness" sessions).When Springsteen performed the song live, a producer heard it and brought it to the Pointer Sisters, who had a top-5 R&B hit with it in late 1978 or early 1979.
He would probably know how to play it to an extent. Clarence probably teach him a bit but he does write all his music himself. My opinion is yes.
yes
