It's easy to look up lyrics these days - a mouse-click or two and it's done. Not so easy 40 years ago, of course, particularly for the sorts of songs that weren't having their lyrics printed in Smash Hits.
Here's one such - Letter Never Sent, by REM. Back then, Stipe's lyrics were wilfully obscure and to sing along the 80s indie boy would often have to content himself with just making the right basic noises - all vowel sounds, mumbling and onomatopoeia.
Here are the lyrics, if you're interested after 40 years. Potentially more interesting: have you ever written a letter and then not sent it? Why not? And who was it to?
