The Letter

1.The Letter (Macy Gray) sözleri

Macy Gray tarafından On How Life Is albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

All I ever wanted was some love and peace and harmony
I could dance in the raw in the sun underneath the stars
When I walk over to my money tree ain't nobody there
Trying to take from me
When they ask Are you truly free? I'd say Yes, truly
But down here in really everybody knows there ain't
No such thing
And It's clear
It's obviously this is not the place I'm supposed to be
On and on and on I've searched
What I'm looking for is not here on earth
I can't stand I can't take no more
So I know that I goota go
So long everybody
Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody
I have gone beyond the moon

All I ever wanted was some love and peace and harmony
Just to be live and shine
When I get ready I up and fly
And I can't remember none of the things that I want
To forget
It's the best - satisfaction no less
Ask if I'm free and I'll say Oh yes
But down here in really everybody knows there ain't
No such thing
And It's clear
It's obviously this is not the place I'm supposed to be
On and on and on I've searched
What I'm looking for is not here on earth
I can't stand I can't take no more
So I know that I goota go
So long everybody
Mama don't be sad for me
Life was a heartache and now I am finally free
Don't know where I'm headed
Hope I see you someday soon
So long everybody

2.The Letter (Natalie Merchant) sözleri

Natalie Merchant tarafından Tigerlily albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

If I ever write this letter
The pages I could write
But I don’t know where to send it
You have vanished
Heaven knows where you live
Heaven only knows

If I ever write this letter
Bitter words it would contain
Just and unrequited lover
Wishing she had never
Spoken your name
Had never known your name

But if I ever write this letter
The truth it would reveal
Knowing you brought me pleasure
How I’ll often treasure
Moments that we knew
The preciousthe few

3.The Letter (Faithfull Marianne) sözleri

Faithfull Marianne tarafından albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

One grows weary of everything, my angel. It is the law of nature,
it is not my fault.
If for example I had as much love as you have virtue, and that is
surely saying a lot, is it not astonishing that we should end at the
same time as
the other ? It is not my fault.
From this, it follows that for some time I have been deceiving
you. But then, your pitiless affection forced me as it were to do so. It
is not my
fault.
Today, a woman I love madly insists that I sacrifice you to her.
It is not my fault.
I realise that this is a fine opportunity for crying out on
perjury, but if nature's only given men assurance, or if she gave women
obstinacy, it is
not my fault.
Take my advice: choose another lover, as I have chosen another
mistress. This is good advice. Very good. If you think it bad, it is not
my fault.
Farewell, my angel, I took you with pleasure, I abandon you
without regret. Perhaps I will come back, to you. So goes the world, it
is not my
fault.

I straight fiend for the cheddaryou know I got to get it
So I swing for the fence everytime I hit it
I been raised around the gangsta s... since elementary
With gz and the feds and the state penitentiary
I’m from the place where the enemies put the scope on you
And when the police pull you over they plant dope on you
But you do what you need to feed your kids and your girl
But you ......s don’t even understand my world
What you know about bangindrug distributin and lootin
Eviction notices anddrive-by shootin?
So to whom it may concernthis letter is to show
That real ....... only rap about what they know

Chorus:

I do it all for the cashscrilla and the doe
If you ban gangsta rap then I gotta sell blow
To whom it may concernthis letter is to show
That real ....... only rap about what they know
*repeat*

Verse two:

I done had it up to here with the .... kissin
Plus a n.... fed up with the media dissin

Fool was the shitnow how could you dare
Become a millionaire and forget what got you there?

And make jams that make ya b and c walk to it

Avoid the po-po and become a rap pro

That real ....... only rap about what they know

Chorus

Verse three:

I keep my pants saggin and my boxers showin
And n.... it’s hoo bangin for life in case you ain’t knowin
Look at the copsI know they fed around and fiest out
Peepin me cos I’m a thug and the watches iced out
I got homies cookin chemicals like a chemist
Next thing ya know we’re outta town with birds flippin like a gymnast
All we know is bang or boss so we’re jugglin
Can’t get a job with two strikes so we’re drug smugglin
Wit heat on my back like I’m solarwit a pistola
Mashin thru the ghetto witta car fulla yola
But I’d rather write rhymes and rap over beats
And if they ban that then a n.... still got to eat
In every situation poverty’s what I’m facin
So I leave shell cases and keep my smoker’s free basin
So to whom it may concernthis letter is to show
That real ....... only rap about what they know

Outro:

Psall you punk motherf...ers out there

6.The Letter (B.b. King) sözleri

B.b. King tarafından How Blue Can You Get albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

Yes, I want to write a letter
But I don't know just where to begin
Yes, I want to write a letter, people
But I don't know just where to begin
Well, I tell you, it's a sin, people
The way I've been treated by my so called friends

Yes, if I got a dollar
They want to borrow half a buck
Whoa, and if I want to gamble
They wanna jinx me and give me bad luck
So, I tell you it's a sin, people
The way I've been treated by my so called friends

Yes, they say friends
They're the greatest thing in the world
Yes, they say close, close friends
They're the greatest thing in the world
But I think that's all wrong people
Because my best friend have taken my girl

(W.C.Thompson)

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm a going home
My baby wrote me a letter
I don't care how much money I gotta spend
Got to get back to my baby again

Said I couldn't live without you no more

Listen mister can't you see

Lonely days are gone and I'm a going home

You know he wrote me a letter
Said he couldn't live without me no more

Give me a ticket for an aeroplane
Ain't got time to take a fast train
Lonely days are gone I'm a going home
My baby wrote me a letter

Hoobastank tarafından albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

Meet me there at midnight
same place we always go
I'm absolutely sure he doesn't know
those words jump off the letter
that i found behind our bed
haunting me they echo in my head
in my head.

Its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
it's all, there in the letter that I've found
I've memorized it line for line
too bad that letter isn't mine, no

when can i next see you
I've been counting the days
i promise you our secret will be safe
no i just cant continue
reading thru my tears
the meaning of the letter is so clear
so clear

its too late to try and work it out.
there's no way to turn this thing around
its all, there in the letter that I've found
i memorized it line by line
too bad that letter isn't mine.

u wanted me to find it
never tried to hide it
running never fades those words are here to stay
i hope u find this letter
writing you today
these will be the last words that i say

its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
its all, here in this letter that you've found
its too late to try and work it out
there's no way to turn this thing around
its all, here in this letter that you've found.
so memorized it line for line
i wont be there to say goodbye.

10.The Letter (Acceptance) sözleri

Acceptance tarafından albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

I take it all to heart
Don't point the finger
Choose the winner
Hold your own
It's never been arranged
Who's the liar
I'm the coward
The letter read like this...
Of all the sinners I've walked before

I can't deny
Somehow you're seeing it
So you're the one who took the fall
and it's bringing us together
Don't ask me why
Somehow I'm seeing it
and I'm breaking after all
This could last forever

The choice has always been
To take advantage
Ride it to the top
Still I'm caught again
I see this coming
See this coming true
Of all the sinners I walk before

I can't deny
Somehow you're seeing it
So you're the one who took the fall
and it's bringing us together
Don't ask me why
Somehow I'm seeing it
and I'm breaking after all
This could last forever

We'll see if I start coming clean
You'll see that I'm still missing

I can't deny
Somehow you're seeing it
So you're the one who took the fall
and it's bringing us together
Don't ask me why
Somehow I'm seeing it
I'm breaking after all
This could last forever

11.The Letter (Forever Slave) sözleri

Forever Slave tarafından albümünde söylenen The Letter adlı şarkının sözleri.

[Dedicated to Memory of Rufo Kiss]

My dear friend
I write this letter
Because my words
Can't be heard

Tears of sorrow
Break this silence
While your soul is flying
A long way from here

Along the shore
Your soul reduced to dust

I'll keep the memories in my heart
Anf your soul in my mind.
You're leaving here forever
To a place of Avalon.

Along the ocean
The storm reduced
Your soul to ashes

- I have lost my dreams
- Today you life is a whisper for the angels
- No please! I must find a new way
- Darling... You have left in the world what you knew
