Elvis Costello The Big Light Lyrics

The Big Light Lyrics

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 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
<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>
Well, it`s fine to go out and have a big night
But sooner or later you`re gonna face the big light
