The first to leave Lyrics


by Elvis Costello
Buy album CD: The Juliet Letters


I should open with a kiss
For if you're reading this
You must have opened up your case
And found this letter where I placed it
In between the silk and lace
There were other clues, like your walking shoes
But I still refused to believe
That you were meant to be the first to leave

Everybody here sends you their love
How can I forget you still walk above
Or
below
Perhaps you'll never know this purgatory
We never could agree
There's a thought, there's a pause
No time to repent
Eternally yours
In a permanent lent

But if I should give you up
If you're right and life just stops
And I never see your face again
Then from unearthly pleasures, proud and plain
I shall abstain

Until you realise, my loss is your surprise
Unless you know otherwise
Then don't grieve
You see I had to be the first to leave

  1. I almost has a weakness
  2. Deliver us
  3. For other eyes
  4. Swine
  5. Expert rites
  6. Dead letter
  7. I almost had a weakness
  8. Why?
  9. Who do you think you are?
  10. Taking my life in your hands
  11. This offer is unrepeatable
  12. Dear sweet filthy world
  13. The letter home
  14. Jacksons, monk and rowe
  15. This sad burlesque
  16. Romeo's seance
  17. I thought i'd write to juliet
  18. Last post
  19. The first to leave
  20. Damnation's cellar
  21. The birds will still be singing
