[Verse 1]
Well, I had a little feeling to have a big night
And I woke up feeling small and not so brave and not quite right
I had to face the where was I and who was she, what did I do
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 it 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
[Verse 2]
When the hangover this morning had a personality
And I cast my shattered mind over selected memories
Didn't even touch the light switch, cause I didn't want to see
That haggard face that was staring back at me
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Yes, I had a little feeling to have a big time
And I woke up to alarm bells like a big church chime
Had to face the where was I and who was she, what did I do
Worst of all, I had to face the big light
[Chorus]
[Outro]
Oh it's nice to go out and have a big night
But sooner or later you're got to face the big light
The Big Light was written by Elvis Costello.
The Big Light was produced by Jack Clement.
