I'm not sure where to go with this one; if anyone wants to take it on, I can shoot you the MP3 on Friday if not before (PM me or post here). Plus, I've done too much Costello recently to do it:

Quote:

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 of 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 things that I have Apart from family pictures and, of course, my gas mask I don't know why I am writing to you"

The first two lines kind of sold me on the song, but it's sort of an odd one (classical with vocals, not Costello's usual stripped-down rock/proto-punk) and I've got enough things in mind already.
