Mark Lanegan - Letter Never Sent Lyrics

Ooohoohoohooh Love this Lords of the new church style

I hear Bowie in this track...
And I fucking love it....

Great song man !!

Mark Style Sisters of Mercy, te cure anda New Order. Is Love!

Very good! 🤘🏻💀🎙🎸

If painful reflection
Was your soul intention
My imagination
Now leads to attention

The girls at the station
The freaks and their factions
The pimps and addicted want
A piece of the action

You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent

Murder or manslaughter
Stepson or stepdaughter
Paid for the patent
Where sickness is latent

Torch to the trash fire
Ghost voice on death wire
Revenge the sweeter
My skull and your tire iron

You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent

If sad introspection
Was my lone invention
Your blood colored boots
Might have sparked my fixation
This minor infraction
Caused your wild reaction
My stripped naked wheels
Couldn't catch any traction

You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent
You could of sent me a letter
A letter never sent

I'm glad marks getting wider recognition and reward even if it's for making music that's not a patch on Bubblegum and those albums that have gone before like field songs whiskey for and scraps.

Mark style póst punk rock in 2019!

This sounds poorly recorded :(

Yes. This sounds like it was recorded in a toilet. Shame, because the track's pretty good.

Fantastic song!
See you in November

Sounds like simple minds. Hmmmm cool

Thank you Mark! Always makes a good songs!

I am addicted to this song

This is fucking fantastic. Is there any genre this guy can't kick ass at? Breaks every mould. Hats off!

Cool! He always reinvents himself. 👍❤

🌴🌹🌴

Well done!

Blues funeral seemed hard to top, Gargoyle somehow made it seem effortless but this one's aiming to knock those fellas out and I'm here for it. I'm really excited about this album and can't wait to hear it live in November 🤘

By no means a bad song, but... This kind of music isn't what I buy Lanegan albums to hear. He started going astray with Bubblegum and really left the road with Gargoyle. I'll still ride with you, old friend, but I hope we find our way home soon.

@old scratch So long, then, and thanks for all the great tunes. I'll never stop playing them.

@LibrarianBarbarian cheers bro, I totally get it. There has been music, art, directors, etc who I've loved their work but when they changed direction at some point, it was no longer my cup of tea, and I was not able to embrace the change. It's a natural part of being human and a music lover for this to happen. As the guy making the music in question for going on 35 years, I would never have been able to sustain my love of creating, singing or playing live had I not had the natural curiosity and need to grow and explore other forms and means of creating. If I were still making my first 3 records 30 years into a career I would not be alive. Thank you for your love of the music and thank you for keeping it real. I wish you all the best life has to offer. Mark

@old scratch I really appreciate you taking the time to write that, Mark. Not many would. It's not that I think your new stuff is shitty. I recognize the talent and skill behind it, but it just evokes moods and feelings I am not having. I love the recent albums with Duke Garwood; closest thing to the early albums. It's just that you were the only person putting out that kind of music at that level of quality. David Eugene Edwards comes close at times, but in a different way. For many years, your albums seemed to be speaking directly to me, right up to and including Bubblegum, which came out right at the time of my marriage and move to the Southwest. (Wedding Dress, Just Like Willie John hit particularly close) I don't mean that in a weird Manson-Beatles way. Just that we are about the same age and I think we were going through a lot of life stages at the same time, and you were articulating them perfectly for me. Plus, my name's Mark, too. Anyhow, not totally giving up on your work. I'll always give you a listen. Thanks again for your kind comment!

I understand you LibrarianBarbarian, and understand Mark too...can't wait for the live version :)
Greetings from Croatia Mark, you're the best !!!!

I get it but this man wrote Strange Religion, give him a break ;)

Man mark you are a legend, much love from Ireland

Mark is easily the best voice in ALL of music today,

Fucking loving these new tunes. Love any Mark performance but especially love when he sings out like this and Stitch it up

Great song from one of the greatest musicians of the 20th and 21st centuries. Long live Lanegan!

Every little thing mark does is magic!!!

Somebodys Knocking Seems to be his thirth New Wave album. No problem with that. 80's New Wave / Berlin Underground are more important than we would think! Nice job Mark! Choose your OWN way!

Seems Mark does love Depeche Mode much more than his first band Screaming Trees. Like I do. Kinda soul brother of mine...

How i wish you could come to Perú!!!! damm promoters!

@Ricardo Barandiaran I don't lose hope to see him perform here in Lima. Un Anfiteatro o el Gran Teatro.
