dido feat eminem thank you dido feat eminem Lyrics

Chorus: Dido
My tea's gone cold I wonder why I..
got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window..
and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be gray,
but your picture on my wall
It reminds me, that it's not so bad,
it's not so bad..

1st Chorus: volume gradually grows over raindrop background
2nd Chorus: full volume with beat right after "thunder" noise

[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Slim, I wrote but you still ain't callin
I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom
I sent two letters back in autumn, you must not-a got 'em
There probably was a problem at the post office or something
Sometimes I scribble addresses too sloppy when I jot 'em
but anyways; f___ it, what's been up? Man how's your daughter?
My girlfriend's pregnant too, I'm bout to be a father
If I have a daughter, guess what I'ma call her?
I'ma name her Bonnie
I read about your Uncle Ronnie too I'm sorry
I had a friend kill himself over some b____ who didn't want him
I know you probably hear this everyday, but I'm your biggest fan
I even got the underground s___ that you did with Skam
I got a room full of your posters and your pictures man
I like the s___ you did with Ruckus too, that s___ was phat
Anyways, I hope you get this man, hit me back,
just to chat, truly yours, your biggest fan
This is Stan

{Chorus: Dido}

[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Slim, you still ain't called or wrote, I hope you have a chance
I ain't mad - I just think it's f___ED UP you don't answer fans
If you didn't wanna talk to me outside your concert
you didn't have to, but you coulda signed an autograph for Matthew
That's my little brother man, he's only six years old
We waited in the blistering cold for you,
four hours and you just said, "No."
That's pretty s___ty man - you're like his f___ing idol
He wants to be just like you man, he likes you more than I do
I ain't that mad though, I just don't like being lied to
Remember when we met in Denver - you said if I'd write you
you would write back - see I'm just like you in a way
I never knew my father neither;
he used to always cheat on my mom and beat her
I can relate to what you're saying in your songs
so when I have a s___ty day, I drift away and put 'em on
cause I don't really got s___ else so that s___ helps when I'm depressed
I even got a tattoo with your name across the chest
Sometimes I even cut myself to see how much it bleeds
It's like adrenaline, the pain is such a sudden rush for me
See everything you say is real, and I respect you 'cos you tell it
My girlfriend's jealous cause I talk about you 24/7
But she don't know you like I know you Slim, no one does
She don't know what it was like for people like us growin up
You gotta call me man, I'll be the biggest fan you'll ever lose
Sincerely yours, Stan -- P.S.
We should be together too

{Chorus: Dido}

[Eminem as 'Stan']
Dear Mister-I'm-Too-Good-To-Call-Or-Write-My-Fans,
this'll be the last package I ever send your a__
It's been six months and still no word - I don't deserve it?
I know you got my last two letters;
I wrote the addresses on 'em perfect
So this is my cassette I'm sending you, I hope you hear it
I'm in the car right now, I'm doing 90 on the freeway
Hey Slim, I drank a fifth of vodka, you dare me to drive?
You know the song by Phil Collins, "In the Air of the Night"
about that guy who coulda saved that other guy from drowning
but didn't, then Phil saw it all, then at a showy he found him?
That's kinda how this is, you coulda rescued me from drowning
Now it's too late - I'm on a 1000 downers now, I'm drowsy
and all I wanted was a lousy letter or a call
I hope you know I ripped ALL of your pictures off the wall
I love you Slim, we coulda been together, think about it
You ruined it now, I hope you can't sleep and you dream about it
And when you dream I hope you can't sleep and you SCREAM about it
I hope your conscience EATS AT YOU and you can't BREATHE without me
See Slim; {*screaming*}
Shut up b____! I'm trying to talk!
Hey Slim, that's my girlfriend screamin in the trunk
but I didn't slit her throat, I just tied her up, see I ain't like you
cause if she suffocates she'll suffer more, and then she'll die too
Well, gotta go, I'm almost at the bridge now
Oh s___, I forgot, how am I supposed to send this s___ out?

{Chorus: Dido}

[Eminem]
Dear Stan, I meant to write you sooner but I just been busy
You said your girlfriend's pregnant now, how far along is she?
Look, I'm really flattered you would call your daughter that
and here's an autograph for your brother,
I wrote it on the Starter cap
I'm sorry I didn't see you at the show, I musta missed you
Don't think I did that s___ intentionally just to diss you
But what's this s___ you said about you like to cut your wrists too?
I say that s___ just clowning dog,
c'mon - how f___ed up is you?
You got some issues Stan, I think you need some counselling
to help your a__ from bouncing off the walls when you get down some
And what's this s___ about us meant to be together?
That type of s___'ll make me not want us to meet each other
I really think you and your girlfriend need each other
or maybe you just need to treat her better
I hope you get to read this letter, I just hope it reaches you in time
before you hurt yourself, I think that you'll be doin just fine
if you relax a little, I'm glad I inspire you but Stan
why are you so mad? Try to understand, that I do want you as a fan
I just don't want you to do some crazy s___
I seen this one s___ on the news a couple weeks ago that made me sick
Some dude was drunk and drove his car over a bridge
and had his girlfriend in the trunk, and she was pregnant with his kid
and in the car they found a tape, but they didn't say who it was to
Come to think about, his name was.. it was you
d___!

Dear Slim, Sounds like another song I know... | Reviewer: Richard | 12/11/2007

Great Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/7/2007

This song is so good, and listening to you really makes you think about what people do in the world. It's a very adicting song, if you listen to it once, ya gotta listen to it again. I think this is one of Eminem's best songs, cause it has so much meaning in it.

phil collins | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/5/2007

the song "in the air tonight" is about phil seeing a guy walk right by his friend drowning while phil was too far away to save his friend. he invited the guy to front row seats to his concert where he first played that song. he didnt have to talk to phil to know that you can just research it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

great song | Reviewer: DCLANGS | 11/28/2007

okay i love this song, its not emo like most of you said and we all know that, eminem had to base this off of a story or sumthing he knew about, otherwise something like this isnt that well written but anyways its a great song, and probably one of my favorites by em...i also wanna know if what he says in the song about phil collins is true like if he actually asked collins about it or suttin...but that just makes the song even like more real...w/e

Very awesome | Reviewer: Eminem's Fan | 11/26/2007

It was very touching... I mean like my friend has a hard life because of her parents and all, but after I sent her this song she seemed to have forgotten her problems. I am very glad Eminem wrote this and so is my friend. We love Eminem!!! PS..... the song is awesome... Listen to it....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

wow | Reviewer: anonymous | 11/24/2007

its a music genre
great song tho!
