The Big Light — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

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

<chorus>

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

<chorus>

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

<chorus>
