I finally bought my all time favorite album on cd. Elvis Costello's King of America. With a bonus disc!
Therefore, it will be today's installment of the Vinyl Vault. Dedicated to birthday girls, Saya and Kitten. Let's hope that after celebrating they don't see...

The Big Light

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 what did I do
But worst of all I had to face the big light

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 moring had a personality
And I cast my shattered minds 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

The big light...

Well I had little feeling to have a big time
And I awoke to alarm bells like a big church chime
I had to face the who am I and who is she what did I do?
But worst of all I had to face the big light

The big light...

When it's time to go out and have a big time
Sooner or later you've got to face the big light



Don't forget to pass on your birthday wishes!
