Elvis Costello - I Thought I`d Write to Juliet слова песни
I thought I`d write to Juliet, for she would understandAnd when someone is already dead they can no longer let you downInstead I find myself talking to you, as my oldest friendTell me how I can advise someone, that I don`t even know,To welcome deathFor I received a letter that is worth reportingAnd though it may raise a cynical smileIt leaves a sinking feelingLike 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`tsay where.So I`m writing to people that I may never meetAnd I was thinking if something you said...""I`m a female soldier, my name is Constance.I enlisted in the military needing funds for collegeI`m twenty-three years old and if I do get home aliveI imagine I may think again...""I`m sleeping with my eyes open for fear of attackYour words are a comfort, they`re the best thing that I haveApart from family pictures and, of course, my gas maskI don`t know why I am writing to you"
