Dear Sweet Filthy World

Dear Sweet Filthy World - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)/Brodsky Quartet

Dear sweet filthy world

My wife or whoever reads this

I think that I've lived too long

With all of my promise unfulfilled

But there is a veil drawn

Over all of that

I know you'll probably say

Spare us the melodrama

I don't know how he chose

The pills or the stupid revolver

I'm out of luck

I'm not that strong

My hands your neck

I might have wrung

Don't try to find me

I'm not worth anything anymore

I am not leaving you

With all of you problems

Cause the biggest one is me

Life is dark

And cold as the sea

Embrace me in my anguish

Put seaweed in my hair

And vow that you won't cry

Because I've gone I can't go on

I can't go on

I can't go on

I must close now
