lyrics

Write me a letter, put pen to paper
Your words speak much louder when written in ink
Write me a letter, you say it much better
It takes you more time so there’s more time to think

No I don’t want it tapped and I don’t want it typed
And I don’t want to read from a screen
If we don’t hold a pen, we’ll forget how to write
And we might just forget how to say what we mean

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah

The postman delivers, there’s nothing of interest
It’s always official, a bill or a fine
Or estate agents looking for houses to sell
When the house that in I live won’t ever be mine

I remember the thrill of a handwritten line
And the words that were crafted for me
But we don’t hold a pen, ‘cause we don’t make the time
And we might just forget how to say what we mean

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

I’ll write you a letter, I’ll put pen to paper
‘Cause words speak much louder when written in ink
There’s love in their curves, there is thought in these words
‘Cause I give them more time, so there’s more time to think

No I don’t want to tap and I don’t want to type
And I don’t want to stare at a screen
I will pick up a pen and some paper and write
I don’t want to forget how to say what I mean
Remember the thrill of a handwritten line
It’s a gift, you can give it for free
So let’s pick up our pens and some paper, and write
We must never forget how to say what we mean

Hannah Scott London, UK

The best stories elicit profound personal reactions and in the 15 years she has been writing and performing, Hannah Scott has become a consummate storyteller. Her music is shaped by human stories, with family, in all its chaos and glory, sitting at the heart of her work. Her lyrics are powerful and poignant, and her voice feels strangely familiar, though you can’t quite put your finger on why. ... more
