| 作词 : MacManus | |
| I thought i'd write to juliet, for she would understand | |
| And when someone is already dead they can no longer let you down | |
| Instead i find myself talking to you, as my oldest friend | |
| Tell me how i can advise someone, that i don't even know, | |
| To welcome death | |
| For i received a letter that is worth reporting | |
| And though it may raise a cynical smile | |
| It leaves a sinking feeling | |
| Like when a soldier in a story says to the sergeant... | |
| 'have you seen my pride and joy?...' | |
| You know the rest...and it's no joke...forgive me please as i quote... | |
| 'this is a letter of thanks, as i'm so bored here in i can't | |
| Say where. | |
| So i'm writing to people that i may never meet | |
| And i was thinking if something you said...' | |
| 'i'm a female soldier, my name is constance. | |
| I enlisted in the military needing funds for college | |
| I'm twenty-three years old and if i do get home alive | |
| I imagine i may think again...' | |
| 'i'm sleeping with my eyes open for fear of attack | |
| Your words are a comfort, they're the best thing that i have | |
| Apart from family pictures and, of course, my gas mask | |
| I don't know why i am writing to you' |
