Dedicated to all my friends that died at 27.<\/strong> The Sri Lanka singer, known for her hit, \u201cPaper Planes\u201d, released the unfinished demo on Twitter last month, the day after the Grammy Award-winning British recording artist was found dead in her London apartment. Winehouse has tragically joined the infamous \u201927 club\u2019, which consists of several artists who have died at the young age including Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Janis Joplin, and more.<\/strong> Listen to the track and see the lyrics below. <\/p>\n

said your all mouth and no brains
\nall rock stars go to heaven
\nyou said you’ll be dead at 27
\nwhen we drunk in a English tavern
\nthe owner poured you the Bourbon
\nand you drunk your self so rotten
\nhe got so rich he bought a Bentley
\nand moved himself to Devon<\/p>\n

you started dirty dancing
\nand you bar tended a dozen
\ni took you to the clinic
\nto get you clean but you couldn’t
\nsaid in 2 days ur 27 and and ur destiny was comin
\nand ur papa passed so sudden
\nand left you with lil somin<\/p>\n

you blew that money on a mountain of drugs
\nand staged your self a bedin
\na month later when i popped in
\nyour still high but the winter set in
\ni bought you a coffee and a muffin
\nand you quoted me some Lenin
\ni wished i was that clever
\nbut thats what kept me coming
\nyour friendship did mean somin
\nbut you left me for nothin
\nwhen i left, you befriended a rope
\nand i found you both were hanging.<\/em><\/p>\n
