Letters in Music: "Unsent Letter"

Here's a beautiful song to lead us into the weekend, "Unsent Letter" from the Machine Gun Fellatio album Bring It On!

Machine Gun Fellatio was an Australian alternative rock band formed in 1997. They were considered the rock equivalent of the theatre of the absurd, with stage shows that were like burlesque carnivals. Enjoy!

"Unsent Letter"

I try to talk to you

And can't get past the weather

The friend I thought I knew

Found somethin' somewhere better

So I'm hangin' on your line

Thought we could speak together

Don't know what it is with you

You seem gone forever

I'm spending all my time

Driving 'round, faking clever

With a girl who seem alright

And another one who's better

I don't know if I lied

When I said we're not together

But I tried to talk to you

And somehow you seem gone...

I know what could've been

Try not to think about it

Found it hard to live with this

Longed to live without it

My dreams have caught me out

I find myself surrounded

By the odds of our own ends

Enough said about it

I'm spending all my time

Driving 'round, faking clever

With a girl who seem alright

And another one who's better

I don't know if I lied

When I said we're not together

But I tried to talk to you

And somehow you seem gone...

I've given up some things

I guess that doesn't matter

Started other things

I guess that doesn't matter

I finally wrote your song

Another unsent letter

In a pile addressed to you

Care of something somewhere better

I'm spending all my time

Driving 'round, faking clever

With a girl who seem alright

And another one who's better

I don't know if I lied

When I said we're not together

But I tried to talk to you

And somehow you seem gone...

I'm spending all my time

Driving 'round, faking clever

With a girl who seem alright

And another one who's better

I don't know if I lied

When I said that I'm together

But I tried to talk to you

And somehow you seem gone forever

Yeah, I tried to talk to you

And somehow you seem gone forever

Yeah, I tried to talk to you

Somehow you seem gone..
