The Big Light

The Big Light - Elvis Costello (埃爾維斯 科斯特洛)

Written by：Declan MacManus

Oh 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 can't face another day

And night of good ideas and complications

And I'm thankful that I didn't open

Another bottle of inspiration

When

The hangover this morning had a personality

And I cast my shattered mind

Over selected memories

I didn't even touch the light

Switch so I knew I'd never see

The haggard face that would be staring back at me

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 can't face another day

And night of good ideas and complications

And I'm thankful that I didn't open

Another bottle of inspiration

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

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 can't face another day

And night of good ideas and complications

And I'm thankful that I didn't open

Another bottle of inspiration

Oh well it's fine to go out and have a

Big night

But sooner or later you're got to face the big

Light
