Elvis Costello - The Big Light текст песни

Well I had a little feeling to have a big night

And woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right

I had to face the who am I and where is she and what did I do

But worst of all I had to face the big light



The big light came through my window and it opened up my eyelids

And it snapped them up like roller blinds and told me things that I did

I cant face another day and night of good ideas and complications

And Im thankful that I didnt open another bottle of inspiration

When the hangover this morning had a personality

And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories

I didnt even touch the light switch so I knew Id never see

The haggard face that would be staring back at me



Well I had a little feeling to have a big time

And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chime

I had to face the who am I and who is she and what did I do

But worst of all I had to face the big light
