Текст (слова) песни: 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 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"
