The Big Light by Elvis Costello
Artist: Elvis Costello
Album: King Of America
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>
