lirik lagu elvis costello – i thought i’d write to juliet
i thought i’d write to juliet, for she would understand
and when someone is already dead they can no longer let
you down
instead i find myself talking to you, as my oldest friend
tell me how i can advise someone, that i don’t even know,
to welcome death
for i received a letter that is worth reporting
and though it may raise a cynical smile
it leaves a sinking feeling
like when a soldier in a story says to the sergeant…
“have you seen my pride and joy?…”
you know the rest…and it’s no joke…forgive me please as
i quote…
“this is a letter of thanks, as i’m so bored here in i can’t
say where.
so i’m writing to people that i may never meet
and i was thinking if something you said…”
“i’m a female soldier, my name is constance.
i enlisted in the military needing funds for college
i’m twenty-three years old and if i do get home alive
i imagine i may think again…”
“i’m sleeping with my eyes open for fear of attack
your words are a comfort, they’re the best thing that i have
apart from family pictures and, of course, my gas mask
i don’t know why i am writing to you”
