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 of 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 things that i have
apart from family pictures and, of course, my gas mask
i don’t know why i am writing to you”
