I Thought I'd Write To Juliet - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet
I thought I'd write to Juliet's

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
