"Secret" Handwritten Lyrics Come To Light
With all the talk about secrecy around these parts lately I'm gonna let a giant cat out of the bag, there's no reason to keep this from you all (not even sure why I was keeping it to myself in the first place). I am currently in possession of handwritten lyrics for "You Don't Understand Me". They are not technically mine because (aside from technically belonging to Jack White) my friend wouldn't flat-out sell them to me (no matter how much I offered him) but as a gesture of peace he said I may "display" them in my home for free until he wants them back. I don't want to get into too many details about how they were acquired except to say he had access to Blackbird Studio while the White Stripes were recording Icky Thump and the Raconteurs were recording Consolers of the Lonely (he has some great stories from that time period). The lyrics are torn from a legal pad which was discarded by the band.
They are genuine handwritten lyrics by Jack White (written in pencil), confirmed by Blackwell himself. (Note: The original name of the song was "You Don't Get It (So You'll Never Get Me)". It even has some verses not used in the song! Please don't pm me about buying these because he says they're absolutely not for sale (and if he ever changes his mind I get first dibs). Check it out!
PS: They are being stored flat at the moment but as soon as I can afford a decent frame job I'll take actual pics for you, these are scans.
