[Urthboy - Letters to Jamshed lyrics]
Fenced inside, I see sky
They call the camp 'Topside'
On an island named Nauru
Fenced inside, I see sky
They call the camp 'Topside'
On an island named Nauru
Please keep writing and send your picture
Best of luck and my best wishes
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
I put this letter in an envelope
Wait and hope to hear back from you
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
Do you mind if you and I we share the sky?
It made my day when your letter came
Thank you very much for choosing my name
Write another letter to me I'll
Be doing the same my name's Jamshed Urfani
I'm an Afghani being detained
I'm twenty-one I come from
A town called Saschishma
Three hours from Kabul in a pick-up
I am the oldest of six
My father helped me escape
I do not know about my family's fate
I like books and soccer and chess and
I'm in charge of the sports equipment
You tell me that you're going
To marry your boyfriend
I'll pray for both of you and offer you my
Congratulations, thanks so much for
Still remembering me
You can let me dream that's
What every letter means
I've travelled alone across land and sea
Three years since I've seen my family, so
Please keep writing and send your picture
Best of luck and my best wishes
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
I put this letter in an envelope
Wait and hope to hear back from you
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
Do you mind if you and I we share the sky?
I'm tired of the bad news I
Don't want to read it
They gave us a TV but I
Don't want to watch it
Maybe I could die here is anyone watching?
They send another twenty home
Australia don't want them
I received your last letter
At the perfect time
And I am not radical but I know what's right
It made me happy when I had
Been on a hunger strike
Thanks for the CDs I like 'The Verve'
But more than anything Polly
I like your words
Languages are something that I'm
Just loving to learn
Loving to learn, and UNHCR
Arrived to conduct their interviews
And that is how I met Marion Le
Now I'm hopeful of what lies ahead
My best wishes, much much love
Your friend Jamshed
Please keep writing and send your picture
Best of luck and my best wishes
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
I put this letter in an envelope
Wait and hope to hear back from you
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
Do you mind if you and I we share the sky?
They call the camp 'Topside'
On an island named Nauru
Fenced inside, I see sky
They call the camp 'Topside'
On an island named Nauru
Please keep writing and send your picture
Best of luck and my best wishes
Lots of love, your friend Jamshed
