Paroles de la chanson I Thought I’d Write To Juliet par Elvis Costello
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
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
"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"
