Mailman Lyrics

Artist: Soundgarden
Album: Superunknown

Hello don't you know me
I'm the dirt beneath your feet
The most important fool you forgot to see
I've seen how you give it
Now I want to receive
I know that you
Would do the same for me

I'm know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

For all of your kisses turned
To spit in my face
For all that reminds me
Which is my place
For all of the times when
You made me disappear
This time I'm sure you will
Know that I'm here

I'm know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

My place was beneath you
But now I'm above
And now I send you a message
Of love
A simple remind of what
You won't see
A future so holy without me

I'm know I'm headed for the bottom
But I'm riding you all the way

This song, this song. An expression I only wished I could have worded as well, what a painful but elevating mental presence.

I love the way his voice goes high like that in the verses

by jess on 1/17/2010 6:44am
awesome song, genius lyrics, excellent voice too.

by Vince on 3/20/2010 3:51am
brilliant down to the fact that the end of each other verse line chris raised his voice an octave, because the lyrics said he was "the dirt underneath".
Then in the last verse he is "above" so he directed his pitch an octave lower instead. Not sure if it was on purpose but genius anyhow.

by Thiago on 9/6/2010 9:13am
interesting, Vince... i couldnt notice that.

Mallelo, ante todo, aprende a escribir. Eres un ignorante y un idiota analfabeto. Las letras son parte de las canciones. Muchas veces, el motor que mueve todo lo dem�s. Lo que inspira la m�sica y c�mo esta debe ser y el camino que ha de seguir. Eres basura

by Chris All on 3/14/2011 6:55am
This is the fucking sexiest song ever! who would have thought killing your boss would be so fucking hot!

by pablomr on 8/29/2011 11:31am
Mallelo, qu� dices de las rolas? momomo est� en lo correcto. Letra y m�sica son igual de importantes... Esta banda tiene buenas canciones justo por ese motivo.
