Hanging out around the Strawberry Studios in Manchester in 1989, listening to funky unusual beats and coupling them to the medley of music she had listened to in the past, *everything from Calypso to Country has helped Anthea to arrive at a point where her debut album Words and Beats brings the response; "Antheas smoky voice is best suited to candlelight, lolloping breakbeats, sweet nothings on a guitar and fretless bass. If you fancy a smoke and some gentle after hours head nod Anthea´s the business." GQ Magazine Her live performances have ranged from The Jazz Café in London to performances at the Phoenix festival with The Moodswings.

I Wish

I waited by the phone
Expecting a call from you
Let's talk it over
But you never knew
I want to hear you say
How you trust in me
And I sing today
Well let's wait and see

If you only existed
only existed
I'd let you see the best of me
If you only existed

I made a picture of you
Inside my head
We'd be prefect together
Yet I'm lonely and cold in bed
I want to feel you near
Smell the skin you're in
I want to feel you near me
But you've never been

If you only existed
only existed
I'd let you see the best of me
If you only existed

I mediate
Ease the pain
Always
Always
Mediate
I wait
Always
Always
Mediate
Ease the pain
Mediate
Always
Mediate
Ease the pain
Mediate
Always

I wish you existed
I wish you existed
I wish you existed
Wish you existed

Deeper

You go your way
Trying to believe
You may not know
Who you plan to be

Feeling fine
On borrowed time
Keeping in line
Can you
Understand
Say what you can
Deep inside
You go and you find

Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you
Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you

Here and now
It's just enough for me
As I flow
To all I be

If you dare
Go out there
See if I care
Do You
In disguise
We suprise
I appear
I'm real and I'm here

Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you
Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you

Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you
Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you

You go your way
Trying to believe
You may not know
Who you plan to be

Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you
Away into day
Deeper deeper
And I reach in you

Only One

Where am I
Oh, there I am

Close my eyes
In the nighttime
And there you are
Open my eyes
In the morningtime
And there you are

It's really a shame
I get out of my brain
That sits and wonders
If I'm going under

You're the only one
You're the only one
Got my mind on
Got my eye on
You're the only one
You're the only one
Got my mind on
Got my eye on

Got my mind on
Got my eye on

I try to forget
The small thing we had
And I try to get by
But you're there in my mind
I consume myself
With someone else
Only to
Remember you
I wait a day
Then I delay
The final thing
That time will bring

You're the only one
You're the only one
Got my mind on
Got my eye on
You're the only one
You're the only one
Got my mind on
Got my eye on

Got my eye on
Got my mind on

Got my eye on

Close my eyes
In the nighttime
And there you are
Open my eyes
In the morningtime

It's really a shame
I get out of my brain
That sits and wonders
If I'm going under

It's really a shame
I get out of my brain
That sits and wonders
If I'm going under

You're the only one
You're the only one
Got my mind on
Got my eye on
You're the only one
You're the only one
Got my mind on
Got my eye on
My mind on
Got my eye on

Got my eye on
Got my mind on

*** Thanx a lot to Aaron who corrected this one ***

He Said She Said

He watches shadows
Dancing on the wall
She's feeling stranger now
Why she's standing tall
Way too tall for him to handle
Next to the very small candle
That's burning tonight
To make it allright
He felt me misled and then he said

Take me, all of me
Take me, all of me

She sings a tune
And starts to laugh
She wonders how they'll find their way back
And should they ponder it together
Or sit and stand around forever
Is this how it is
Or is that how it was
She danced instead
And then she said

Take me, all of me
Take me, all of me

I'm falling for you
And your mystic drug
I taste immune
But make him come
Undecided she steps in the unknown
Now she's there
It feels like home
Restless eyes and stormy days
She takes and hides it all away
With a jumpy heart
He looks straight ahead
She placed the part
And then she said

Take me, all of me
Take me, all of me

He watches shadows

*** Thanx a lot to Aaron who corrected this one ***

Don't Explain

(Billie Holiday)

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad you're back
So don't explain

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

My life's yours love
yours love

Hush now
Hush now
My life's yours love

Hush now
Please hush now
So hush now

*** Thanx a lot to Aaron who corrected this one ***

Side Of Blue

I improvise
And provide a break from normality
Another day to celebrate
intimate things

Oh but it was just a dream
As real as it seems
So quietly yeah
I didn't hear a thing

And instantly I knew
The side of blue
And instantly I knew
The side of blue

Carefully I wait to see
Another way of being me
I know I am here too
Play a game of hide and seek

Oh but this is make believe
Emotional themes
So peacefully
This is where I'd rather be

And instantly I knew
The side of blue
And instantly I knew
The side of blue

Side of blue
Side of blue
Side of blue
Side of blue

I improvise
And provide a break from normality
Another day to celebrate
intimate things

Oh but it was just a dream
As real as it seems
So quietly yeah
I didn't hear a thing

And instantly I knew
The side of blue
And instantly I knew
The side of blue

Sentimental

Sentimental
In better days
Those games we played
I hope she knows the side of you
That you never showed
You had mine and I had yours
In way too deep
To be taking scores
Do you get a lot
From my pictures you got

But it's over now
It's over now
I don't hurt no more
I don't hurt
No more
But it's better now

You made mistakes
I made them too
And just for you
I hope she knows
That lovin' you is hard to do
And the things I did
Does she do them too
Could she handle your secrets
Like I do
The letters I gave
For nighttime you'll save

But it's over now
It's over now
I don't hurt no more
I don't hurt 
No more
But it's better now
But it's better now

I don't hurt no more
I don't hurt 
No more
But it's better now

Fingers

With your fingers touching me
I feel tender
And the same thing you promised me
It was early decmber
You go your way
And I go mine
And you say your sorry
And I say I'm fine

It's allright
I make my ?? and I forget
It's allright
It's allright

With your words controlling me
Comes a sense of security
But the same thing you gave to me
You took it back, instantly
So here we go again
And I stay here
With no more promises
Nowhere near

It's allright
I make my ?? and I forget
It's allright
It's allright

Fingers
Fingers
Fingers
Fingers

It's allright
It's allright
It's allright
It's allright

Can't be you

See the way your members tends tall
Do you remember what you're doing at all
Do you think about where you've been
The days and nights you were playing the scene
You fascinate them with your smile
In conversation ????
Is your brain ever in key
Or are you living in constant fear

That you can't be you
Without the things that you do
You can't be right
Without another ???? tonight

Step ahead and picture yourself
Are you the same or somebody else
Communication is complicated
They okay and wish they'd waited
Is it happieness that you feel
Does it make you feel more real
Jumping around from this to there
From the beginning it goes right back to

You can't be you
Without the things that you do
You can't be right
Without another ???? tonight

Without another
Without another ???? tonight
Without another
Without another ???? tonight

You can't be you
Without the things that you do
You can't be you
Without another ???? tonight
Without another ???? tonight
