Epistolary songs
Apr. 22nd, 2008 12:47 amBecause I like them a lot, and was idly making a playlist of them in my head, earlier.
And here it is (Yousendit, 18M)
Letter From Bilbao - The Lowest Of The Low
I am writing you this letter in desperation I'm afraid
And I won't be back to Lindsay for the veterans' parade
'Cause I got banged up pretty good in a street-fight in Bilbao
And I won't be coming home to see your young and pretty face
I am far too young to feel so old
And far too tired to care
That I took down twenty bastards before they left me lying here...
Anchorage - Michelle Shocked
She said, Hey girl it's about time you wrote
It's been over two years, my old friend
Takes me back to the days of the foreign telegrams
And the all night rock and rolling
Hey Chel we was wild then...
20th Of April - Oysterband
20th of April, 1990
Thought I'd write and say hello
Are you surprised to get this letter?
It all seems so long ago...
Dear Mr. President - Pink
Dear Mr. President,
Come take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
You're not better than me.
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly...
William Westwood Letter - The Band That Never Was
Reverend Sir,
I have to inform you that long before this letter reaches your hand, the hand that wrote this will be cold and dead...
Hmm. I thought I had more. Anyone who cares to is free to help correct this situation in comments :)
