Amy Winehouse Lyrics And Diary 'Found In Rubbish'

December 28, 2010

Lyrics and private diary entries written by Amy Winehouse have been found in rubbish on a street in North London, it’s been reported.

The early lyrics were apparently written when Winehouse was 17, a year before she secured a record deal.

Extracts include the line: "I'm digging myself into a hole/These days I'll just work when once I had so much soul."

The lyrics were written alongside course work for an English Literature A-Level, according to The Sun.

One of the diary entries sees Winehouse discuss the “sexual tension” between her and a male compatriot called Felix.
