Dear Sweet Filthy World Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Dear Sweet Filthy World Lyrics

    Dear sweet filthy world, my wife or whoever reads this
    I think that i've lived too long
    With all of my promise unfulfilled
    But there is a veil drawn over all of that

    I know you'll probably say, "spare us the melodrama"
    "i don't know how he chose the pills or the stupid revolver"
    I'm out of luck
    I'm not that strong
    My hands, your neck
    I might have wrung

    Don't try to find me
    I'm not worth anything anymore
    I am not leaving you with all of your problems
    The biggest one is me

    Life is dark
    Cold as the sea
    Embrace me in my anguish
    Put seaweed in my hair and vow that you won't cry because
    I've gone
    I can't go on, i can't go on, i can't go on
    I must close now
