Dear Sweet Filthy World — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Dear sweet filthy world, my wife or whoever reads this

I think that Ive lived too long

With all of my promise unfulfilled

But there is a veil drawn over all of that



I know youll probably say, "spare us the melodrama"

"i dont know how he chose the pills or the stupid revolver"

Im out of luck

Im not that strong

My hands, your neck

I might have wrung



Dont try to find me

Im not worth anything anymore

I am not leaving you with all of your problems

The biggest one is me



Life is dark

Cold as the sea

Embrace me in my anguish

Put seaweed in my hair and vow that you wont cry because

Ive gone

I cant go on, I cant go on, I cant go on

I must close now
