unknown

Dear slim, i wrote you but you still aint callin
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not of got em
There was probably a problem at the post office or somethin
Sometimes i scribble addresses too sloppy when i jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, hows your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, i'm 'bout to be a father
If i have a daughter, guess what ima call her?ima name her
Bonnie...
I read about your uncle ronnie too i'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over a bitch who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday but i'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground shit that you did with scam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the shit you did with rawkus too that shit was phat
Anyways i hope you get this man, hit me back, just to chat
Truly yours, your biggest fan, this is stan

Dear slim, you still haven't called or wrote, i hope you have a chance
I ain't mad, i just think its fucked up that you dont answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside of the concert
You didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for matthew
That's my little brother, he's only six years old
We waited in the blisterin' cold for you, for 4 hours and you just said no
Thats pretty shitty man you're like his fuckin idol
He wants to be just like you man he likes you more than i do
I ain't that mad though i just dont like being lied to
Remember when we met in demburg, you said if i write you
You would write back, see i'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither, he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're sayin in your songs
So when i have a shitty day, i ripped away and put 'em on
Cuz i dont really got shit else so that shit helps when i'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
Sometimes i used to cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, but pain is such a sudden rush for me
And everything you say is real, and i respect you cuz you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous cuz i talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like i know you slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
You gotta call me man, i'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, stan, ps: we should be together too

Dear mr. i'm-too-good-to-call-or-write-my-fans
This'll be the last package i ever send your ass
It's been 6 months and still no word, i don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters, i wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette i'm sendin' you, i hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, i'm doin' 90 on the freeway
Hey slim, i drank a 5th of vodka, dare me to drive?
You know that song by bill collins 'in the air in the night'
Where that guy coulda saved that other guy from drownin'
But didn't, then bill saw it all and at a show he found him
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued my from drownin'
Now its too late, i'm on a 1000 downers now i'm drowsy
And all i wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know i ripped all of your pictures off the wall
I love you slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, i hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream i hope you can't sleep and you scream about it
I hope your conscience eats through you and you can't breathe without me
See slim....shut up bitch i'm tryin to talk
Hey slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
But i didn't slit her throat, i just tied her up, see i ain't like you
Cuz if she suffocates then she'll suffer more and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, i'm almost at the bridge now
Oh shit, i forgot, how'm i supposed to send this shit out?

Dear stan, i meant to write you sooner but i just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, i'm really flattered that you would call your daughter that
And here's an autograph for your brother, i wrote it on a starter cap
I'm sorry i didn't see you at the show, i musta missed you
Don't think that i did that shit intentionally just to diss you
But what's this shit about you said you like to cut your wrist too?
I say that shit just clownin dog, come on, how'd 'fuck' convince you?
You got some issues stan i think you need some counselin'
To help your ass from bouncin' off the walls when you get downsome
And what's this shit about us meant to be together
That type of shit will not make me want to meet eachother
I really think you and your girlfriend need eachother
Or maybe you just need to treat her betteri hope you get to read this letter
I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you hurt yourself, i think you'll be doin just fine
If you relax a little, i'm glad i inspire you, but stan..
Why you so mad, try to understand i do want you as a fan
I just dont want you to do some crazy shit
I saw this one shit on the news a few weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
And had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
And in the car they found a tape but it didnt say who it was
Come to think about it...the name was...it was you.stan.

My love has gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn and as i slept, i felt him go
[loop of erik satie, as in pet shop boys' jack the lad]

New york, new york, temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops

I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today i feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through
Florida's out, we fly september 22 to heathrow
So there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin' you know i miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Please, send my love to everybody (everybody everybody everybody...)
Send my love to everybody (everybody everybody everybody...

Honey, i'm writin' from d.c., feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The tm recommend sanatogen
Not one of them could resist takin' the piss
I miss you like a lock in the door what's more
I go to sleep with my walkman 'cos half the crew snore
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So i stay up late with a tape or meditate
My bed is travellin' at fifty-five mph
When we make it to l.a., i'll still be miles away
It's not my best day i'm gonna get some rest
God bless

My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone (has has has ...)
(wo wo)

We just stopped a diner so i'm takin' time
To write a few lines. i'm fine, sun shinin'
Bus driver's reclinin' on the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin' with a flash of sunlight from the glass
On the windscreen. as for us there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs but we're only in our third state
America's big! you'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even i could gain weight
Our next date is wilmington, delaware, open air
There's a rumor melle mel'll be there
Anyway, all the best, god bless i'm yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning

My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home

Lyrics marked in this color sung by dido

a young gentleman came riding past
On a snow blue winter's day
He asked to drink, by our fire,
And i was pleased to let him stay
He drank there quietly for a while,
Then he turned and said to me
Your eyes are green, like summer grass,
Your lips are red like a fresh cut rose,
Your hair is soft like an irish stream
And your voice is filled with sweet beauty
And the last words i heard him say
Were "i shall return, for you, my love, on christmas day"
The night will come but i won't sleep,
As i watch the stars that lead him,
I cannot place where his is,
But still my heart goes with him,
I'm savin all my sunday clothes
For the day the day that i'll be leavin
Father knows, my sister knows,
And my friends, they're happy for me
And the priest he says, you should thank god,
For the blessing of such beauty,
And the last words i heard him say
Were "i shall return for you, my love, on christmas day"
I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day.
And the last words i heard him say
Were the last words i ever heard him say
I shall return for you, my love, on christmas day
I swear, i will return on christmas day,
And yes, i shall return on christmas day
I shall return, for you, on christmas day,
My love i will return on christmas day,
I shall return, my love on christmas day
On christmas day...

we slept in this room together but now youre gone
And it's so quiet i turn the tv on
We lived in this room together we painted the walls
Now time doesn't stand still
It crawls

And i'm afraid to sleep
Cuz if i do i dream of you
And dreams are always deep
On the pillow where i weep

I never realized how much i was in love with you
Until you started sleeping with someone new
Last night i dreamed again and you were there
You kissed my face you touched my hair

And i'm afraid to sleep
Cuz if i do i dream of you
And dreams are always deep
On the pillow where i weep

Lying alone in the darkness with a memory in my head
Theres a big hole where my heart is
And a lonely feeling rollin' round my bed

And i'm afraid to sleep
Cuz if i do i dream of you
I'm afraid to sleep
Cuz if i do i dream of you
And dreams are always deep
On the pillow where i weep
On the pillow where i weep

I'm afraid to sleep.
