Some of Amy Winehouses’ first lyrics have been found in a pile of dumped schoolbooks.
The lyrics, notes and diary entries – written in 2001 when the ‘Rehab’
singer was just 17, a year before she signed her record contract - were
among rubbish dumped on a north London street.
One red notebook has ‘Amy’s Songs’ written on the cover and contained
words including: "I'm digging myself into a hole / These days I'll just
work when once I had so much soul."
Another verse starts: "Drain my drink and order more, can’t you play
all night?" While a third starts: "Find someone with whom I can come
undone."
Among the notes are some of Amy’s plans for fame and how she would spend her riches.
One list is headed “When I do record deal” and says: “Treadmill, buy
flat in London, buy car, get gym membership, buy a gym membership to
put in my flat.”
It then finishes with the statement: “live like the bombshell I really am.”
Amy – who has battled with drink and drug addiction – plans to make her
public comeback next month with a string of shows in Brazil.
