I Thought I'd Write To Juliet - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet (柏洛斯基弦乐乐团)[00:00:00]

I thought I'd write to Juliet's[00:00:00]

For she would understand[00:00:06]

And when someone is already dead[00:00:11]

They can no longer let you down[00:00:16]

Instead I find myself talking to you[00:00:21]

As my oldest friend[00:00:27]

Tell me how I can advise someone[00:00:32]

That I don't even know[00:00:36]

To welcome death[00:00:39]

For I received a letter that is worth reporting[00:00:42]

And though it may raise a cynical smile[00:00:52]

It leaves a sinking feeling[00:00:57]

Like when a soldier in a story[00:01:02]

Says to the sergeant[00:01:07]

Have you seen my pride and joy[00:01:09]

You know the rest[00:01:13]

And it's no joke[00:01:16]

Forgive me please as I quote[00:01:18]

This is a letter of thanks[00:01:30]

As I'm so bored here[00:01:36]

In I can't say where[00:01:39]

So I'm writing to people[00:01:41]

That I may never meet[00:01:44]

And I was thinking if something you said[00:01:48]

I'm a female soldier my name is Constance[00:02:09]

I enlisted in the military[00:02:15]

Needing funds for college[00:02:19]

I'm twenty-three years old[00:02:22]

And if I do get home alive[00:02:24]

I imagine I may think again[00:02:31]

I'm sleeping with my eyes open for fear of attack[00:02:38]

Your words are a comfort[00:02:44]

They're the best thing that I have[00:02:47]

Apart from family pictures and[00:02:50]

Of course my gas mask[00:02:53]

I don't know why I am writing to you[00:02:57]
