Testo 100 Unread Messages - Gruff Rhys
Testo della canzone 100 Unread Messages (Gruff Rhys), tratta dall'album American Interior
You set foot in America one fine October day
Sailing into Baltimore, well, everything's okay
New buttons on your jacket, shining like they're brand new dimes
Glistening in the sunlight, blistering my eyes
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've one hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
You zoomed up to Philly, they taught you to make maps
They conversed you in piety and pitied any lapse
So you stormed into Pittsburgh and waited for the water to rise
Set sail down the Ohio with the lost tribe on your mind
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've two hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
As Hurricane Charley was gathering pace
At night instead of eyelids, I saw pictures of your face
Smiling in the moonlight, shining in the golden hour
Bluffing round America, seizing every hour
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've three hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
You left old Kentucky and sailed to the west
Stopped in Cincinnati, dined with all the best
Reached the Mississippi, took another New Madrid
Fell into a maiden's arms, malaria on your lips
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've four hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
Up to St. Louis, Kaskaskia on the way
Walking through the wilderness, sicker by the day
Imaginary volcanoes, reptiles crawl around
Your mind was baked just like a cake as trouble gathered round
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've five hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
You defected to the Spanish, you joined the mighty crown
Up the Missouri, flags were coming down
You traded with the Omaha, the Ponca and the Sioux
But missed the lost Paducah's, after all they value you
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've six hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
Off with a man then, you raised the Spanish flag
Survived assassination, worked upon your maps
The lost tribe was a lost cause, and you cried a silent tear
Fled back to St. Louis, to a familiar frontier
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've seven hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
Down in New Orleans, the church bells did trill
The body of Don von Evans is still lying too still
You annexed North Dakota, you surveyed by the stars
But here lies your body by these disease-ridden bars
When you said that you loved me, I knew it wasn't true
I've eight hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
I've one hundred unread messages and not a single note from you
