Lyrics for I Thought Id Write To Juliet by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | I Thought Id Write To Juliet | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | 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" | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
