There was a tiny newspaper item about a Veronese academic who had taken on the task of replying to letters addressed to ‘Juliet Capulet.’ \n\n\n\nThis apparently continued for a number of years\, until some gentlemen of the press exposed this secret correspondence. Quite how he came by these letters in the first place remains unclear. We can only make a guess as to their content. After all\, these people were writing to an Imaginary woman\, and a dead imaginary woman at that. Perhaps they were simply scholarly enquiries\, or letters of sympathy from others disappointed in love\, or even a plea from somebody forced into an unhappy arranged marriage. Whatever was contained in these letters and their replies\, the idea of this correspondence provided the initial inspiration” for The Juliet Letters\, a song sequence for string quartet and voice—a collaboration between Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet. \n\n\n\n\nLyrics\nDeliver Us\n\n\n\nInstrumental \n\n\n\nFor Other Eyes\n\n\n\nI don’t know what I would doIf this letter should fall intoOther hands than it should pass throughFor other eyes \n\n\n\nHe said\, “It was nothing… it’s over and done”But the rotten worm was burrowing stillIts spirit invades me bleeding me whiteFor other repliesI searched his pocketsI searched his eyesI searched his wallet for clues and liesAnd I found a number that I somehow dialledA woman answered\, a woman smiledThen she hung up on the silence unperplexedInnocently spun her rolodexI dialled again I could not resistRevealing just the dentist receptionist \n\n\n\nOne day we’lI laugh about it or maybe we’lI curseBut there is one thing that is making it worseAnd it’s the lack of forgiveness that I can’t disguiseNo matter how well he liesNow we don’t know each other anymoreAnd when we touch our lips feel soreI question the longing left in his sighsFor other eyes \n\n\n\nSwine\n\n\n\nYou’re a swine and I’m saying that’s an insult to the pigIn the foul furrow that you digWhy don’t you lay your head downIn that unconsecrated groundWAS she your MOTHER?Or WAS she your brldeTo defile and to blisterTo gnaw at her sideIs this the end of the world?Now that you’ve finished your lifeThis RIDDLE is the work of my little pen-knife \n\n\n\nExpert Rites\n\n\n\nI marvel at the wonder of it in our souless ageFast flow the tears upon the pageDon’t be alarmed I am her friendWill I be excused if I presumeIt’s more than disappointment that we shareYou share the same sorry life\, the families fight\,that unhappy blade you both inviteThis romantic ideal has a lonely appealI once loved someone the way that you doBut I had to let her goI live with my regretDon’t despair my would-be Juliet \n\n\n\nDead Letter\n\n\n\nInstrumental \n\n\n\nI Almost Had a Weakness\n\n\n\nThank you for the flowersI threw them on the fireAnd I burned the photographs that you had enclosedGOD they were ugly childrenSo you’re the little bastard of that brother of mineTrying to trick a poor old woman‘Til I almost had a weaknessLast week Cousin FlorenceBit your Uncle JoeHit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork(She) said that he looked like the devilThen she said… “pass the vinegar\,” I’m beginning to think(That) I’m the only one who hasn’t taken to the drinking of itThough I almost had a weakness \n\n\n\nIt pains me to mentionThese delicate concernsWhile I have to tolerate you family jewelsI really mustn’t grumble(‘Cause) when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and downAnd you little swines will get nothingThough I almost had a weakness \n\n\n\nWhy?\n\n\n\nWhy is Daddy not here?Are you crying?Why?Does he still love me?Will you take care of me?If you both love me soWhy don’t you love each otherMummy’s gone missingDaddy’s on fireDaddy’s on fireDaddy’s on fire \n\n\n\nWho Do You Think You Are?\n\n\n\nThe hunted look\, the haunted graceThe empty laugh that you cultivateYou fall into that false embraceAnd kiss the air about her faceWho do you think you are?The tres bon mots you almost quote from yourQUIVER of literary dartsA thousand or so tuneless violins thrilling your cheaplittle heartWho do you think you are?
