Musique Non Stop

[Unreleased Demo] M.I.A. – 27

07.26.11 | No Comments | Posted by E.J. Friedman

M.I.A recorded this song before the Vickileekx Mixtape, and then posted it to her Twitter as a response to the death of Amy Winehouse. If you missed it, it’s very good if rather eerie.

M.I.A. – 27

::: M.I.A. – 27 — Lyrics :::

said your all mouth and no brains
all rock stars go to heaven
you said you’ll be dead at 27 seven
when we drunk in a English tavern
the owner poured you the Bourbon
and you drunk your self so rotten
so he got so rich he bought a Bentley
and moved himself to Devon

you started dirty dancing
and you bar tended a dozen
i took you to the clinic
to get you clean but you couldn’t
said in 2 days ur 27 and and ur destiny was comin
so ur papa passed so sudden
and left you with lil somin

you blew that money on a mountain of drugs
and staged your self a bed in
a month later when i popped in
your still high but the winter set in
i bought you a coffee and a muffin
and you quoted me some Lenin
i wished i was that clever
but thats what kept me coming
your friendship did mean somin
but you left me for nothin
when i left, you befriended a rope
and i saw you both were hanging.
