Dear Sirs,
To whom this may concern
There's facts I'd like to learn
So many things I wanna know
Especially trivial info
Paraphenalia, badges and regalia
Please send me everything

Cause I
Am interested in you
And everything you do
I find myself at all your shows
Could you tell me where you buy your clothes?
Could you sign my little sister's face?
Put your signature any place
And please send me a bio

Cause we've got fan mail (We really, really read it)
Fan mail (We really, really read it)

I sent you my letter, now I want a reply
You don't know any better if you won't take your time
With my fan mail

So I would like to know just if and when
You'll be in town again
So that I could meet with you
And brag at my friends at school
Have you been all around the world?
Have you seen every kind of girl?
Or are you from the other side?

Cause you
You can't believe everything that you read
With the hypocrisy and the greed
The papers all the things that they say
They don't tell me anything anyway
That's why I've gotta get it straight from you
Concerning your situation
Without an obligation

Cause we've got fan mail (We really, really read it)
Fan mail (We really, really read it)

I sent you my letter, now I want a reply
You don't know any better if you won't take your time
With my fan mail

My fan mail

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa

What's this I find to my surprise
Those fans that I idolized
No longer seem to exist
Now tell me what could be the cause of this
Perhaps it could be their egos
I tell you heaven only knows
I didn't even get a newsletter

Cause we've got fan mail (We really, really read it)
Fan mail (We really, really read it)

I sent you my letter, now I want a reply
You don't know any better if you won't take your time
With my fan mail (We really, really read it)
Fan mail (We really, really read it)

I sent you my letter, now I want a reply
You don't know any better if you won't take your time
With my fan mail (Send it out to me)

Fan mail (Special delivery)

    this song is a cover, originally by the Dickies. This version is way better than the original recording by the Dickies though....not to say that the original is bad because it is not

    I was so glad to see they covered this song, Its my favorite Dickies song. Hey Eric, Did you ever hear the Live version the Dickies do on their live album "Still Got Live, Even If You Don't Want It" ?

    Its much better than the original.

    This song is obviously about appreciating the fans because without them a band is nothing

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
