Look up British singer/songwriter Imogen Heap on the online music forum Myspace.com and scroll down to the ‘Sounds Like’ box. Sounds Like No other – reads the pithy, but accurate description. In fact, truer words have never been written about the hypnotic vex of songs on her stunning second solo album Speak For Yourself. From her earliest memories of improvising at the piano “it was the biggest toy that made the best and most noise” at home, hour after hour in the sleepy village just outside of London where she grew up to the electro-zen-like fugues she hears in her head when riding her bike through the streets of England’s most fabled city, the classically trained, techno geekess, Imogen has always preferred a left-of-kilter soundtrack of her own making to any by-the-book-coda of pop music. The stirring current of songs flowing through Speak For Yourself ripple with an alluring intimacy rarely found in the electro-inspired genre. “That’s because, I like to believe I’m genre-less!” quips Imogen “I want for music to stimulate, excite and surprise me all over again” Whether it’s the punctuated sounds, and halting breath filled silences in songs such as the angelic “Hide And Seek,” or the bouncy “Goodnight And Go,” or the subtly drum-tinged “Headlock”, or the whispery “The Walk,” it’s clear Imogen is a slave to nothing but her own muse. Recorded in her East London studio – “I’ve had a not so secret love affair with making music on computers since I was a teenager. Wouldn’t it be great if in real life you could “delete” or “duplicate”, “save” or “recall”? Or speak in many voices and languages at the pull down of a program?” she says – Imogen utilized everything and anything at her disposal, from circuit bent children’s toys, to carpet roll inner tubes to the rumbling soothages of passing trains. “There are many moments during the course of making an album where things don’t go as planned - mostly gear misbehaving but gear can equally make some great sounds when it’s in a mood!” The silver lining to some of these situations became “Hide and Seek” and “Headlock”. Forced to use gear that was co-operating though perhaps needed a little dusting off!

An auteur in the truest sense of the word, even Imogen’s previous music persona as the female axis with the alt-fave duo Frou Frou (with producer and longtime collaborator Guy Sigsworth playing the man - producer of Madonna, among others) garnered her a drawer full of comparisons to strong-female-solo types. But Imogen’s knack for path-finding, revelatory soundscapes off the beaten path mirror her own zig-zag musical journey (she was a solo artist before joining Frou Frou only to fly solo again), as she’s now poised for acceptance with a growing contingency of U.S. music fans. After turning down major record label deals the fearless artist even re-mortgaged her London flat to finance her declaration of independence, but not before making several futile rounds to various financial institutions seeking their possible support “I traipsed my way round every bank but I couldn’t get a loan,” she says. “I had Ł10,000 on my credit card and I couldn’t pay my bills. It seems banks and musicians don’t get along too famously!” but just before despair could stick in its claws, Heap’s luck changed. Clocking a “For Sale” sign outside her block of flats was, she says, like a little light bulb going on: “I couldn’t help wondering just how much I could sell my flat to myself for.” The flat had almost doubled in price. With nothing to stop her now, Imogen took the cash out of the property and with money to burn purchased lots of sparkly new recording equipment on her 25th Birthday as a present to herself, She then set about making exquisitely personal and aptly titled Speak For Yourself in a burst of experimentation. As if that wasn’t enough Heap then set up Megaphonic Records to release her most treasured possession in the UK. “It was quite liberating, actually,” she says. “Probably because I never had an opportunity to do a whole studio album at my own pace before-entirely on my own. So, at first, I was ignoring the piano, just having fun and playing with all my toys. But eventually I got back round to the piano, like on “The Moment I Said It.’ Every sound you hear (aside from the strings) stems from the piano, but still I’m chopping things up.” That kind of playfulness is a trademark of Imogen’s heaping (no pun intended). Her mystical/whimsical harmony leaning over diverging threads of sound and melody, all of it bottlenecking into riveting vignettes that pique the imagination. Ultimately, it would be due to such enigmatic captures and an often downright sultry vocal presence (‘your music is touching to the max’ – blogs one online fan) combined with her intuitively tweaked musical arsenal - Piano/Vocoder/glitch-friendly samples, strings, harps, bells and drum machines - that would spark American record companies to come calling.

A serendipitous brush-up with the photogenic but angst-filled American TV soap, The O.C., furthered her mystique. The popular teen show, which has gathered an impressive musical resume in the past couple of years, (rumored to receive more than 400 music submissions per week) featured Imogen’s glorious “Hide And Seek,” on its Season 2 finale this past May (with “Goodnight And Go” being included on the soundtrack Music From The O.C. Mix 4), awakening a potential American fan base to the radiant atmospherics of Heap’s repertoire.“I’m eternally grateful to The O.C. for braving such an off kilter song to feature in that spot. The response to that episode has been amazing,” says Imogen. “And I was ecstatic that suddenly, after putting so much of myself into this album and my transition to going solo again, I was going to be exposed to a whole new audience.” The warm reception of the music savvy O.C. audience was indeed immediate. In less than a week “Hide And Seek” moved from virtual obscurity to # 32 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Download chart. Many more stateside fans started following her weekly blog on Imogenheap.com (affectionately referring to her as Immi) and set in motion a stream of requests for Imogen’s music from other TV shows – CSI and Six Feet Under among them - and movies (most recently on the Reese Witherspoon/Mark Ruffalo movie/soundtrack Just Like Heaven, for which Imogen contributed a cover rendition of the classic “Spooky” -once made famous by Dusty Springfield. And in 2004, Actor/Director Zach Braff personally selected the Frou Frou track, “Let Go,” to appear on the grammy winning soundtrack to his movie Garden State. “My music lends itself to soundtracks, I think, because it is so layered and orchestrated. They feel and sound right at home on the big screen.”

Ever since her mercurial 1998 debut, I Megaphone, and her 2002 Frou Frou collaboration with Sigsworth, the ethereal Details (Island Records), with its acclaimed cult single “Breathe In,” Imogen has catalogued her dreamscapes through music. “I can’t say I always wanted to be a rock star, but I’ve always expressed myself through music it’s the easiest and most enjoyable way to lose myself. When I’m composing the best way I can describe it is – when you know you’re really on to something – like when you’re traveling home on a familiar route and you start to daydream – then before you know it you find yourself at your front door searching for your keys and you’ve no idea how you got there, that’s what happens to me when I’m creating on a good day.” Imogen is more than aware that time will be moving quite fast in the next several months. Touring is already scheduled (she’s past opened up for diverse artists such as Rufus Wainwright, Coldplay and Norah Jones) and ever increasing notoriety beckons as critics and music fans familiarize themselves with the highly regarded Speak For Yourself, released to much acclaim in England this past July. “I’m interested in how people will categorize the album. Let’s face it, everyone draws comparisons I do it myself.” When asked to have a go at it, Imogen laughs. “I don’t know….. more Donnie Darko than Dirty Dancing, more Absynth than apple juice, more ‘where no man has gone before’ than ‘down the pub’, more ‘crop circles in the carpet’ than ‘climb the highest mountain’. I hope more likely that you’ve never heard anything like it before!” “The album hosts the broadest spectrum of songs I’ve ever done. Just when you think it’s going in one direction, it goes off down the road in another. I hope it sounds like I’ve had fun making it, because I did,” she pauses for a second. “Very free is how I’d describe it.” “Wade in the sonic joy, Pleasure the wave and synchronize, Sway in the sonic joy” sings a cryptic Imogen. And no wonder. The girl just lives, breathes and loves making music!

I megaphone

Getting scared

Turn your ugly face
Are you so surprised to see me

Encaged by your obsession with me
Time was mental torture and screams of justified pain

A learning vessel of several
Lessons to make me more cleverer

My sweet little religion
My sweet little religion you mean everything to me
My sweet little religion
My sweet little religion how does it feel

Written in that book of love
Does it say your name above
The name by which they call me
And is it written in liquid red

'Cause nothing else will do instead for reassuring eternity

Will you be there when i need you?

Begin end enemy friend heaven hell sick well
Truth lies husbands and wives, whisper shout in out in out
Laughter cry ask reply - good bad happy sad
Right wrong outcast belong, caged free you and me

You have the answer to all of these

Oh me, oh my

Quiet now in sleepy dreams
To me it seems the only time to be

Crowded by the city, all around me
Need some silence from the loud
And noisy crowds

And i'm trying to catch a breath through the air of death
Can't see the sun for the clouds
Those dirty clouds

And the night has no compassion for your actions
When you're trying to get away
From the hard day, yeah

Madness just moved into my shadow

Shine - i will be there for me
Shine - i will not cry and i will be mine
I'll shine - shine

Who waltzed me into this
And i now stuck here forever

Then lashed me down with a leather strap

Trying to learn to swim without any water

Trying just to begin just when youre in for the slaughter

Shine - i will not cry and i will not die no
Shine - i will be there for me
Shine - ill be just fine if i stay all mine

Just like how we were just days before
Oh just leave me just get out of my head
'Cause i cant take this torture any more

Youre so far away, yeah
Why are you so far away
From me.

Angry angel

This is an obsession, a kind of agression with himself
It's the way hell always be
He loves to rebel to go against his ten commandments
For him, thats just being free.

And he always will, get his thrills, the only way he knows how
Well it might make you frown
But he loves, being that dove, roaming where he cares to go
To a state of mind that no-one knows

Over there stands my angry angel
And shes shaking her head, in disgrace with me
Yeah over there stands my angry angel
And she's frowning like hell, but i'm not feeling guilty

Over and over again, more and more for the pain
To release himself, from this shell
Time after time, you may glare at
Him for the way he looks like something drawn up from hell

But that's just his cover
From what is under it
All his imagination, his
Passion for a creation
Which he has discovered,
Uncovered a world, of
Amazing sensations
His own little nation

I dont care,
I'm flying

Candlelight

I am alone, surrounded by
The colour blue
Inside a poem, the only
Words i ever knew
Washing my hands, of the
Many years untold
For now i am banned, my
Future is to unfold

Would you take my
Candlelight
Would you take my
Candlelight
Would you take
My candlelight
Away from me

I am blind
My eyes
Are
Covered
From
The
Outside
For i have lied, now all
There is left for me
To do is hide
Take in a deep
Breath, i lift
My head
For i am a new man
And i arise from my bed

This is all there is, i can see that now
I have to be careful with it, now its been found
So fragile, but powerful, this is the light
Of my destiny stay with me, through every night

Rake it in

I am here again
Tied up in your torture frame
Printed paper, guilty to blame
The story stays the same

Dry me out
Run me down
Burn me out
And rake it in, you rake it in
Rake it in, you rake it in, yeah

A slave upon your plate
I am your dreams, yeah your life and your bait
Selfish schemes, i proceed, you await
You my indefinite hate

Do you know what my chopping blocks for?
Do you know what my hanging braids for?
Do you know what my chamber maids for?
Can you guess what i, what i have in store for you?

Come here boy

I'ts dark in here
Visions are flashing into my head
As i reminisce
My reoccuring dreams and you said

I'm falling, falling for you babe,
And my feelings are gettin stronger,
So why dont you stay with me for a
For a little longer

Come here boy,
Oh come here boy,
Come here boy
Oh come here boy

I know that my face
Is only too familiar to your sleep
I can see it in your eyes
I can tell by your body heat

Why are you taking so long
You need to come and find me, honey
To set your mind at rest
And let your dreams run free.

You know, im no stranger in your dreams

I'm craving i'm howling im begging and pleading
Be mine tonight

Oh and im waiting im dying, im wanting and needing
To show you a night

Where I'll be touching and holding caressing and giving you
Your every fantasy
I'll get you dreaming and lusting burning and praying
For more of this ecstasy.

Useless

I am a mirror, with no reflection
I am a razor, without my blade
I am the daylight, when the moon shines no
Who will want to make my sandcastle thats already made

I feel so useless, do you

Speak to an ear deaf to my voice
Look through your fear, still blind to my way
I reach to hold you, but i dont feel you there, do you
Even realise im here am i just wasting away?
No wasting away
Living, inside you play

My dying prayer, sealed in a scream
Unwelcome, and a concious dream
I am your whore, without a name
I climb to fall, to begin again, to begin again
I climb to fall, suffer, hatred, deceit and pain
Anger, regret, loving in vain

I am an arrow, with no direction
My life your tarot, my picture your fate
I'm your becoming, so ill always be nothing
If i ever break away from you that day forth, youll be living
My hate
Oh god help his fate
I'll watch you, watch you suffocate

Sleep

How can it feel so nice?
Why does it feel so right?
I think ive been somewhere special
I want to go back there

Sleep
I think i will
Go back to sleep

Oh it's so cold and shivery outside my cocoon
Now i'm on my way

Sleep
Oh sleep
Sleep

Distant flickering
Greener scenery
This weather's bringing it all back again
Great adventures
Faces in condensation
I'm going outside and take it all in

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

Wear a different pair
Do something out of step
Throw a stranger an unexpected smile
With big intentio
Still posted at your station
Always on about the day it should have flied

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

Afraid to start
(How can you lose?)
Got your heart in a headlock
(How can you lose?)
I don't believe any of it
(How can you lose?)
You say too late to start
(How can you lose?)
With your heart in a headlock
(How can you lose?)
You know you're better than this

You've been walking
You've been hiding
And you look half-dead half the time
Monitoring you, like machines do
You've still got it
I'm just keeping an eye

You say too late to start
Got your heart in a headlock
I don't believe any of it
You say too late to start
With your heart in a headlock
You know you're better than this

Afraid to start
(How can you lose?)
Got your heart in a headlock
(How can you lose?)
I don't believe any of it
(How can you lose?)
You say too late to start
(How can you lose?)
With your heart in a headlock
(How can you lose?)
You know you're better than this

Skipping beats
Blushing cheeks
I am struggling
Daydreaming
Bed scenes in
The corner cafe
And then i'm left in bits
Recovering tectonic
Tremblings
You get me every time

Why do you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

Follow you home
You've got your headphones on
And you're dancing
Got lucky, beautiful shot
You taking everything off
Watch the curtains wide open
Then you fall in the same routine
Flicking through the TV
Relaxed and reclining
And you think you're alone

Oh why do you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well
Say goodnight and go

One of these days
You'll miss your train
And come stay with me
Say goodnight and go
We'll have drinks
And talk about things
Any excuse to stay awake with you
You'll sleep here
I'll sleep there
But then the heating may be down again
At my convenience
We'd be good
We'd be great together

Why do you have to be so cute
It's impossible to ignore you
Must you make me laugh so much
It's bad enough we get along so well

Say goodnight and go
Why's it always always
Goodnight and go
Oh darling not again
Goodnight and go

Have You Got It In You

It takes a lot
To be always on form
It takes a lot
I maybe not
All the time
All I've got
Maybe not

Been one of those days,
(To get in, to get in, to get in)
Safety first don't push
What's the hurry?
(To get in, to get in, to get in)
One nerve remaining
Waiting on one look, have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

All at once
Not a whisper nor word
Then all at once

Let me have it all
Let me have a battle on
Easy target look
Can we just, just get it over with?
It's getting worse, against all the odds,
It's getting worse

Guard down
Floor's yours
Last man standing
Can we just get it over with?

Been one of those days
Safety first don't push
(Don't push me)
What's the hurry?
Cause there's one nerve remaining
Waiting on one look
Have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

Blue, blue, day make me blue
Head down, quick
Take cover, big girl in a mood
Blue you, make me anymore blue
Long spin, shout
Power clean
Right out of your suit

Been one of those days,
Safety first don't push
What's the hurry?
One nerve remaining
Waiting on one look
Have you got it?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?
Have you got it in you?

Loose ends

Doing everything by halves
You got a real flare with excuses
Meeting someone at the bar
Where loose ends still have uses

It's complicated
(This time I think it could be)
Triangulated
(It could be just what we need)
So what you say
We give it up and walk away?
We're overrated, anyway

We're kissing without kissing
And got it down to a fine art
Love's supposed to keep you young and frisky,
But we grew up and wide apart
Not now, not ever, no
It's never a good time
How will the good times ever roll on?
Comparing photos
Then and now
Now and then
Just wondering
Where it all went wrong

It's complicated
(This time I think it could be)
Triangulated
(It could be just what we need)
So what you say
We give it up and walk away?
Nothing to salvage anyway

Want to, oh
Need to, oh
Try to, oh
None of the above
Want to, oh
Need to, oh
Try to, oh
None of the above
Want to, oh
Need to, oh
Try to, oh
None of the above
Liar

It's complicated
(This time I think it could be)
Triangulated
(It could be just what we need)
So what you say
We give it up and walk away?
We're overrated, anyway

It's complicated
(This time I think it could be)
Triangulated
(It could be just what we need)
So what you say
We give it up and walk away?
Nothing to salvage anyway

Hide and seek

Where are we
What the hell is going on
The dust has only just began to fall
Crop circles in the carpet, sinking, feeling
Spin me around again and rub my eyes
This can't be happening
When busy streets a mess with people would stop to hold their heads heavy

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines?
All those years they were here first

Oily marks appear on walls
Where pleasue moments hung before
The takeover, the sweeping insensitivity of this
Still life

Hide and seek
Trains and sewing machines
Oh, you won't catch me around here
Blood and tears they were here first

Hmm what you say
Oh that you only meant well, well of course you did
Hmm what you say
Hmm that it's all for the best, of course it is
Hmm what you say
That it's just what we need, you decided this
Hmm what you say
What did she say

Ransom notes keep falling at your mouth
Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut outs
Speak no feeling no i don't believe you
You don't care a bit you don't care a bit

You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit

Clear the area

Knock, knock
Are you alone?
No one's out here and I was not followed
Love, love
You're already home
Party's over and you
Don't look so good

You find your way back down
And I'll keep the area clear
(Please clear the area)
When you find your way back down
In one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here
Right here
(Right here, right here)

Low light
Mercury morning
No need to stay as it's always nothing
But your eyes tell a whole other story
And I feel the weight of the world
Won't talk
You won't try
Just move
It's too still in your sadness
Cry
Give up
It's OK
You've just got to trust me

You find your way back down
And I'll keep the area clear
(Please clear the area)
When you find your way back down
In one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here
Right here
(Right here, right here)

Slowly
Darling
Nobody means anymore to me than you
If you're in
Baby then I'm in
Into this
With you, always
Careful
Close to the edge
(You're scaring me)
Fall in to my arms
Away with it all
Fall into love
Love
Love

You find your way back down
And I'll keep the area clear
(Please clear the area)
When you find your way back down
In one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here
Right here
(Right here, right here)

You find your way back down
(Way back down)
And I'll keep the area clear
(So please clear the area)
When you find your way back down
In one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here
Right here
(Right here, right here)

Don't mind me just crusing by
By the girl with the balloon
Good it looks like we're the only ones around
Caught on CCTV
Heading towards the city lights
Winking diamonds at me arms stretched out now

Ha-ooh
It gets me everytime
Ha-ooh
It gets me everytime

Sexy baby
Happiness and silhouettes
Revolving in the deep water
Indigo
It's high tide
Night sky
Pleasure moment
Thinking big
Thinking positive
And itching to get on with it
It's all stops out

Excess
Is the new moderation
(Get dressed up)
Raise glasses
On repeat and again
Again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again

Ha-ooh
It gets me everytime
Ha-ooh
It gets me everytime

Oh, wade in the sonic joy
Pleasure the wave and syncrhonize
Sway in the sonic joy

Ha-ooh
It gets me everytime
Ha-ooh
It gets me everytime

Everytime
It gets me right here
Everytime
It gets me right here
Everytime

Inside out
Upside-down
Twisting beside myself
Stop that now
Cause you and I were never meant to meet
I think you'd better leave
It's not safe in here
I feel a weakness coming on

Alright then
(Alright then)
I could keep your number for a rainy day
That's where this ends
No mistakes, no misbehaving
Oh, I was doing so well
Could we just be friends?
I feel a weakness coming on

It's not meant to be like this
Not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, yeah
No, it's not meant to be like this
Not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this
So that makes it all your fault

Inside out
Upside down
Twisting beside myself
Stop that now
You're as close as it gets without touching me
Oh no, don't make it harder
Than it already is
Mmm, I feel a weakness coming on

It's not meant to be like this
Not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, yeah
No, it's not meant to be like this
Not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this
So that makes it all your fault

Big trouble
Losing control
Primary resistance at a critical low
On the, on the double gotta get a hold
Point of no return
One second to go

No response on any level
Red alert this vessel's under siege
Total overload
All systems down
They've got control
There's no way out
We are surrounded
Give in, give in
And relish every minute of it

Freeze
Or make it forever
I feel a weakness coming on

It's not meant to be like this
Not what I planned at all
I don't want to feel like this, yeah
No, it's not meant to be like this
It's just what I don't need
Why make me feel like this?
It's definitely all your fault

Be like this
La la la la la la la la
It's all your fault
(Feel like this)
La la la la la la la la
It's all your fault
(Feel like this)
La la la la la la la la
It's all your fault
(Feel like this)
La la la la la la la la
It's all your fault

Just for now

Just for now, just for now, just for now
Just for now, just for now, just for now

It's that time of year
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
If just for a little while
Tears stop right here
I know we've followed a bumpy ride
I'm secretly on your side

How did you know?
It's what I always wanted
You can never have had too many of these
Will you quit kicking me under the table
I'm trying
Will somebody make her shut up about it?
Can we settle down please?

It's that time of year
(Just for now, just for now)
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
If just for a little while
(Just for now, just for now)
Tears stop right here
(Just for now, just for now)
I know we've followed a bumpy ride
I'm secretly on your side
(Just for now, just for now)

Bite tongue
Deep breaths
Count to ten
Nod your head
(Sniff, sniff)
I think something is burning
Now you've ruined the whole thing
Muffle the smoke alarm
Whoever put on this music had
Better quick sharp remove it
Pour me another
Oh, don't wag your finger at me

It's that time of year
(Just for now, just for now)
Leave all our hopelessnesses aside
If just for a little while
(Just for now, just for now)
Tears stop right here
(Just for now, just for now)
I know we've followed a bumpy ride
I'm secretly on your side
(Just for now, just for now)

Get me outta here, get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Get me outta here
Get me outta here, get me outta here
Get me outta here

I am in love with you
I am in love with baby
I am in love with you
Yeah, live for the moment.

Right now another please,
Right now another please, just like that, aah
Like that another one babe and
Kiss me for longer

Oh hey
Baby don't you run away
Oh hey
Baby don't you run away
Come here and finish what you started

I am in love with you
I am in love with you, baby
I am in love with you, yeah
At least for the moment

Split second and it's all in smoke yeah
Split second and it's all in smoke yeah
Split second and it's all in smoke yeah
So wet this fire dry

No don't get yourself in situations
No don't get yourself in situations
Darling, that you can't handle

No, I don't mind if you forget yourself
No, I don't mind
Did you forget yourself, darling?

Come on into my bed with me
Come on into my bed with me
You know you want to
Come on into my bed with me
Come on into my bed with me
You know you want to

I'm not in love with you
I'm not in love with you, baby
I'm not in love with you, yeah
Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore
Not anymore

Closing in

I can't wait
To be with you
No, I just can't sit still
Are we there, yet?
Takes me back
I remember
Such a magical place
It was all you

Closing in
I hope that you make it
Closing in
I hope that you find your way

Frame by frame
Red speed ahead
A city dissolving
The thread of your love in headlights
Is it safe now?
Will your arms be open?
I'll just have to kiss you
Try and stop me

Closing in
I hope that you make it
Closing in
I hope that you find your way
Closing in
It's all that I want in the whole world
Closing in
Please be there
Please be there

What are you like?
Where did you get to?
No word, no nothing
You didn't hold me for any longer
Did you walk for the fear of love?
Or don't you believe enough
Well, I'll cover both of us
You can
Leave that to me

Closing in
I hope that you make it
Closing in
I hope that you find your way
Closing in
Closing in

The moment I said it

The moment I said it.
The moment I opened my mouth.
Lead in your eyelids
Bulldoze the life out of me.
I know what you're thinking.
But darling you're not thinking straight
Suddenly things just happened, we can't explain…

It's not even light out but you've somewhere to be
No hesitation…no I've never seen you like this.
And I don't like it…I don't like it...I don't like it at all.

Just put back the car keys…or somebody's gonna get hurt.
Who are you calling at this hour
Sit down, come round, I need you now.
We'll work it all out, together.
But we're getting nowhere tonight.
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better…somehow…in time.

It's not even light out
Suddenly…oh, you've somewhere to be.
No hesitation…no I've never seen you like this.
You're scaring me…you're scaring me…you're scaring me…to death.

Don't…oh (smash)…
Please don't…oh (I do, please, another one)
Don't…oh (smash)…
Please don't…oh (I do, please, another one)

I'm losing you.
Trust me on this one
I've got a bad feeling
Trust me on this one
You're gonna throw it all away…
With no hesitation

(Smash)

Airplane

Drifting though the atmosphere
And up into space
Leave behind the moon he's sitting
In his special place

Some flutterbies they enter and they
Play around in my soul
And once again part of me
Fills up to be whole

Da da day
Just flying in my airplane.

Peaceful colours everywhere
Purples and deep blues
Feeling so at home here oh
As if up here i grew

It's so beautiful up here now,
Oh I think I might just stay
All alone and by myself
So free and far away

Da da day
I'm with my aeroplane

I can see heaven
Heaven down below
I look at heaven
And an angel who I know
I can see heaven
Heaven down below

Da da day
I'm with my aeroplane

Just happy to be me again.

It was late a night, a very star one
And the sky was so very blue
Something caught my eye
Shot across the sky, as a gleaming white contraption
Clearly very new

These funny looking creatures
Lulling in my backyard
Who were here from out of a hatch
They waved to me
Form down below
With their funny heads
Holding their hats

So come on stay, stay with me
Please don't go away
Come on and talk to me, please feel free
Do you speak english?
'Cause i want to talk to you
Where do you come from?

I bet it's wonderful where you live
You gotta space ship
I bet there's funny machines everywhere
I bet you got flying cars
But ours can only go fast
We can't do the thing that you can do
It's just not fair
I wonder, do you have a time machine
That takes you anywhere you wanna be, and everything you wanna see

People might think i'm mindless
Unless i've got some kind of proof
Of you being here with me

So come on stay, stay with me
Please don't go away
Come on and talk to me, please feel free
Do you speak english?
'Cause i want to talk to you
Where do you come from?

Did it take you long form where you came from
And they wouldn't like me, as you could see
Have a head like a cone
With the color like a stone
I was on my own
Will anyone one believe me

I'm gonna tell you something now
You gotta keep it to yourself
It's a secret only you and i know
Remember that night i told you of ?? In my garden
One of them flew up to say hello
He took my by his hand
Up on my lips
And he freed his words on to me
He said you are now one of a kind in our minds
All of our powers to me

So come on stay, stay with me
Please don't go away
Come on and talk to me, please feel free
Do you speak english?
'Cause i want to talk to you
Where do you come from?

Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket

Emotionless the city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dull the dark shades on my day
I live inside this place

Locked up inside my metal cage
Always tense and filled with rage
Above the concrete fields below
With you i wanna go, wanna go

Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket

I see only what i wanna see
I'll be only what i wanna be
My blanket covers me, yes

"Yeah, check it
Now as a yout man I was body poppin breakin on the lino
Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro
Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro
But now my ends meet in the best way that I know
(Hat, snare, kick) and the beats that go boom
See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
All the beats and melodies keep realities at bay
But what happens when the records done and starts to fade away"

Alone within myself again
I try to veil away my pain
The dirty grey surrounding me 'round
And now I hear no sound...

"I feel like Melle Mel from way back in the days
As i wonder how i keep from going under
I got trouble on my mind like my name is chuck d
And like marvin gaye it makes me wanna holler
When the music hits me I feel no pain
That's why i gotta put you on again and again
I take the needle off the technics and put it in my vein
All my troubles get crushed as the rush hits my brain
And away goes trouble down the drain"

I see only what I wanna see
I be only who I wanna be
My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see
I be only who I wanna be
My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
You are my living world
You are my living world
You are you are you are my
My only living world....

( From The film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe )

Can't close my eyes
They're wide awake
Every hair on my body
Has got a thing for this place
Oh, empty my heart
I've got to make room for this feeling
So much bigger than me

It couldn't be any more beautiful
I can't take it in

Weightless in love
Unravelling
For all that's to come
And all that's ever been
We're back to the board
With every shade under the sun
Let's make it a good one

It couldn't be any more beautiful
It couldn't be any more beautiful
I can't take it in

I can't take it in
I can't take it in

( With LHB )

Deep underground
Somewhere beneath that green field
A very small sound
Faint but I think it's breathing

So afraid
To make that only move
Left hanging on a rope
One finger to go
And slipping

You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air

Deep underground
Somewhere beneath that green field
A very small sound
Faint but I think it's breathing

Don't ask me why
She spiralled
So far down
Wake up when you wake up when
These days are too long
To rise without good reasons

You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air

Those ivory wings
Flow down stream
Ivory wings
Flow
Those ivory wings
Flow down stream
Ivory wings
Flow

Deep underground
Somewhere beneath that green field
A very small sound
Faint but I think it's breathing

You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air

You won't find me there
I walk a different way now
Treading on old ground
Gets me nowhere with you
You won't find me there
I walk a different way
I'm coming up for air

Congratulations

( Blue October with guest vocals by Imogen Heap )

Is that seat taken?
Congratulations
Would you like to take a walk with me?
My mind it kinda goes fast
I'll try to slow it down for you
I think I'd like to take a drive
I want to give you something I've been wanting to give to you for years:

My heart
(my heart, my pain won't cover up, you left me)
My heart
(my heart can't take this kinda love, you left me)

I came to see the light in my best friend
You seem as happy as you've ever been
My chance at being open was broken and now it misses him
My words they don't come out right but I'll try to say I'm happy for you
I think I'm gonna take that drive
I wanted to give you something I've been wanting to give to you for years:

My heart
(my heart, my pain won't cover up, you left me)
My heart
(my heart can't take this kinda love, you left me)

I can't change this
I can never take it back but now
I can't change your mind
(you left me)
And I can't take this
I can never take this back but now
I can't change your mind

Can't change your mind
(you left me)
Can't change your mind
(you left me, you left me, you left me, you left me)

Make it go away
Make it go away please

Embers of Love

( Mich Gerber Feat. Imogen Heap, Amor Fati LP )

I paint the two of us on a canvas in chains
I hung it on the wall so the story sustains
And I layer the colors with care in veils with the sky Broader than an ocean and higher than high

I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
These embers of love
I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
These embers of love

And I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
Cemented in its socket
As long as I love
These embers of love

Well lucky you to have me by your side
Never would you know never could you decide
Taking my hands as your own, cover it in gold
Leave me for a moment and I watch you grow old

I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
These embers of love
I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
These embers of love

And I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
As long as I love
It’s the hate
Cemented in its socket as long as I love
As long as I love
I'll never take it down
I'll never take it down
As long as I love
These embers of love
I will remember
I will remember
I will remember
These embers of love
I will remember

These embers of love

These embers of love
Embers
Embers of love
Never take it down
Never take it down
Yeah
Love
Love
These embers of love

Can you tell me why am I feeling?
Can you tell me why am I feeling?

Tonight I am myself again
I am one as whole
I realise that I'm like this
When I look into my soul
I see a confused vessel there
Sitting even though I'm not
Under the influence of any
Substance for a shot
No substance for a shot
No substance for a shot
Yeah

Can you tell me why am I feeling
As I were floating in space again yeah
Can you tell me why am I seeing life in a blur
I don't feel, I don't feel normal friend will it even end?

All I have to do to get me into this state
Is to just be left alone
And even then it's far too late

My mind begins to wonder
Travel far and beyond
The barriers of human thought
Yeah they break here before too long
Yeah they break here before too long
Yeah they break here before too long

Can you tell me why am I feeling
As I were floating in space again
Yeah
Can you tell me why am I seeing life in a blur
I don't feel - I don't feel normal friend will it even end?

I start thinking overloading
My thought capacity
My vision take em somewhere
Now at great velocity
I can't get out of this I'm caught
Please interrupt
Imagination runs away from me
Is it normal to be corrupt

Can you tell me why am I feeling
As I were floating in space again yeah
Can you tell me why am I seeing life in a blur
I don't feel, I don't feel normal friend will it even end?

Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?
Can you tell me why?

Foolish

My cloud
And everything here is mine
Nobody lives here but me
Unless i say they can
They go when i tell them

Oh conversation begins at a time
When i wish to talk to it
Where i wish to go
Go takes me there on whatever i wish to travel on
Travel keeps me safe

And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful

And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful

My life treats me well
Life is nice to me
Shooting down the obstacles one by one
Like a matchstick sonisphere
Disappearing in the air
Yeah which lets me breathe what i choose to breathe

And mornings only come when i call them
When i'm rested
And rest it comes when i ask it
Then he guides me through the unknown
And the unknown becomes the known
When i say

And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful

And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
'Cause you're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Yeah you're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Yeah you're all mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Yeah you're all mine

I love it here
I am it here
I live it here
Yeah i am it here

And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful

And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful
And you're so beautiful

Glittering clouds

( Plague songs LP )

I'm not always like this
It's something I become
A terrible weakness
In my nature, in my blood

Save me, oh save me
Save me from myself
Before I hurt somebody else again

Domino motion
Jump starts when we touch
The black out approaching
Here it comes now, wish me luck

It's all over, it's all over
It's all over in a flash
I can't remember
What have I done now

Go go faster wider
And more more get it down
Your dance dance take me over
Glittering clouds

Go go faster wider
And more more get it down
Your dance dance take me over
Glittering clouds

Oh, my head hurts
Oh dear, oh dear

It's all over the papers
On the TV, waging tongues.
The artist's impression
Looks just like me, only better

Don't blame me, don't maim me
I can't help what I am

Oh lord knows I’ve tried to

Go go faster wider
And more more get it down
Your dance dance take me over
Glittering clouds

Go go faster wider
And more more get it down
Your dance dance take me over
Glittering clouds

Glittering clouds
Glittering clouds

Go
More
Dance

If only i were a butterfly

Sometimes i don't feel quite myself here
Sometimes i don't feel like it's my home
Would like to be a place where i'm free to play, a place i call my own

Sometimes i feel like i'm trapped in a spider's web
And each thread is in itself a problem
So i try to break free, untangled
But i'm back to where i started from

If only i where a butterfly
I'd fly so high
Right passed the sky
And let go my fears
Let go my my despairs
I will give them to the air, without a care

I walk alone in the dark
I wonder through the night
I lie to look up high
To see the starry skies
It gives me strength to know
There's peace somewhere up there
So quite so undisturbed
I'm mystified
In my bed i lie awake
And i'm dreaming of that land
So far away from me
It makes me want to cry
...
Pray for the day for i die

If only i where a butterfly
Id fly so high
Right passed the sky
And let go my fears
Let go my my despairs
I will give them to the air, without a care

I am in love with you
I am in love with you, baby
I am in love with you,
Yeah at least for the moment

Hit me with another one,
Yeah just like that
Hit me with another one,
And kiss me for longer

I am in love with you
I am in love with you, baby
I am in love with you,
Yeah at least for the moment

Baby don't you run away,
Come here and finish what you started

I am in love with you
I am in love with you, baby
I am in love with you,
Yeah at least for the moment

Split second and it's all in smoke yeah,
So when this fire dies

No don't get yourself in situations,
Baby that you can't handle

Come on into my bed with me,
I know you want to
Come on into my bed with me,
What are you waiting for

I am in love with you
I'm not in love with you, baby
I'm not in love with you, yeah
Not anymore

A figure dressed in the finest attire
That money can buy
Laiden with assets to make an impression
On a stranger's eye

And he lives in a palace
Surrounded by roses in a perfect picture
He's in deep with the shallow
He's fading cause he can't see the sky

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you

A dinner with twenty people you hate
And they're hating you more
Talking politely, it's all a show
Tell me what is it for?

And your laugh is tale-telling
They follow but you know you're not a funny man
The truth is the meaning
And your life is that you wouldn't have one
If you were poor

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you

Yeah. . .
Such a shame, sir
Such a shame
Such a shame

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything, yeah
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing, yeah
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody but yourself X5
Nobody. . .

Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you everything
Who are you kidding mister?
I can give you anything
Who are you kidding mister?
I'm so happy that i could sing
Nobody, kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody, kidding nobody
Nobody but you
Nobody, you're kidding nobody
Nobody but you

Leave me to love

Complications, more so I can say
Promises and deadlines make it hard to stay away.
All these strings are attaching to me,
And I can’t find the scissors.
Yeah

All I tell them "I’m back" and I’m not.
I can’t remember where I was, I forgot.
Knitting it all, these holes that I need,
To crawl through a brick wall,
Is hard to say the least.

Where’s that thought, that thought uncomplicated things?
Where’s that peace of mind, that peace that made it easy?
Where’s that simple day, that simply made it nice to be in.
Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go?
Yeah.

I got you a murky light, tell me what can you see?
A huge cloud of shit, hanging over me.
Can you blow it all somewhere else?
It’s making it hell to distinguish myself.
Tired of the tyrants who only think they’re all business.
Pissed with their patience, they constantly agree.
"Yes sir, yes sir, three hundred bags full."
It’s easier to say yes than to say no to a fool.

Where’s that thought, that thought uncomplicated things?
Where’s that peace of mind, that peace that made it easy?
Where’s that simple day, that simply made it nice to be in.
Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go?
Yeah.

Cover me in cyanide
Cover me in ink
Cover me in formaldehyde
And leave me here to think.
Cover me in carpet
Cover me in tile.
Cover me and evict me and put me in a file.

Strip me bare, don’t let me breathe.
Strip me to my skin.
Strip me so you can watch me clean off,
All these things I’ve been.
Strip me naked of these walls
Strip me of all my rules
Strip me boy and see how small I am without you.

Inseminate the good now
Inseminate the pure
Inseminate all the shit that I’ve forgotten how to whore.
Inseminate the natural
Inseminate the dirt
Inseminate the ineffectual
And leave me here to love.

Leave me here to love

Where’s that thought, that thought uncomplicated things?
Where’s that peace of mind, that peace that made it easy?
Where’s that simple day, that simply made it nice to be in.
Where did it go? Where did it go? Where did it go?
Yeah.

Leave me here to love

Meantime

The purity in dreaming
The meantime is a quarantine
Suppose there is no difference
And phone sex is eternal love

The promise in our yearning
The meantime is a quarantine
And the body parts can mix
And yet fail to make a whole

And you'll only find out if this was love
Once you've tried other lovers
And you'll only find out if this was love
So take my heart in the meantime

Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one

Our dreams in holding patters
And the meantime is a quarantine
And I'm the one comparing
By having you tonight

And you'll only find out if this was love
Once you've tried other lovers
And you'll only find out if this was love
So take my heart in the meantime

Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one

In sexual positions
We never got to try and I
I see lovers in the swing door
Entangled, in space

And you'll only find out if this was love
Once you've tried other lovers
And you'll only find out if this was love
So take my heart in the meantime

Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one
Will the next love be the real one

Missing you

I've been longing for as long as i can remember
Something like this to go my way
And it always feels so right
And then you take it all away

Tell me how will i fall in love like that again
And i'm still singing my way without you, singing in pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights, it's our first together
See i thought i found the love i'll have forever

Now i'm high and in myself
Behind this shattered veil
And i know it's only me to blame
And I'm swimming through this ocean of grief
And i'm sailing up your pain

Tell me how will i fall in love like that again
I'm still singing my way without you, singing in pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights, it's our first together
See i thought i found the love i'll have forever

Don't live there and in this house
Something to do
I cant escape
Even though i try
Photographs and memories
I never knew i had so many tears to cry

Tell me how will i fall in love like that again
And i'm still singing my way without you, singing in pouring rain
I'm still dreaming about those nights, it's our first together
See i thought i found the love i'll have forever

Mutual

If you were a bottle, would you break on me?
And if you were the truth, would you lie?
If you were a mouth, would you spit on me?
If you were a soul, would you get in my eye?

I know the answers yes already
And i'd do all of the same for you
For you, for you, for you, for you, for you

If i was your dog, i would shit on you
If i was your happy, i'd make you sad
If i was your everything, i'd make sure i meant nothing to you
If i was sane i'd make you go mad

Well you knew this all already
And you'd do all of the same for me
For me, for me, for me, for me, for me

Don't be a fool little helper
'Cause i won't be stopping to save you
Do get in my way
This sawing chain has got your name
This sawing chain it bears your name
This sawing chain has got your name on it
This kind of thing happens all the time

It's just useless trying to make a fuss
It's the way it's gonna always be for you
For me, for you, for me, for everyone
Forever, forever, forever, forever, forever

Not you again

Oh, no, not you again

Please don't tell me
You're here to stay
See I don't want to hear
Go away, go away

I like piano
I like to tv
Yeah i like my style, ya know, and i like to dream
I like color of the rainbow, they like to please me
But i dont like you, i dont like you, i dont like you

I've told you before and i'll tell you again, and again, and again
Can't you get it thru your head
You're not my friend
And i've tried to be nice but now i'm not going to lie
So i suggest you leave before i make you cry, bye

I like to be sulky
I like being vile
I like to make you angry, i like it all the while
I like to know that you're hated, it makes me smile
But i dont like you, i dont like you, i dont like you

Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
Why, why, why, why me?
Why, why, why, why me?

I like where i'm living
I like my view
I like anyone who detests you as i do
So i must find everyone including me too
'Cause i dont like you, i dont like you, i dont like you

I'm sorry
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
I don't like, i don't like, i don't like, i don't like, i don't like you
I don't like, i don't like, i don't like you
Oh, no, not you again
I don't like, i don't like, i don't like, i don't like, i don't like you
I don't like, i don't like, i don't like you

I dont have to give a reason
I dont have to give a reason, if i don't want to

Hello? i said hello.

Pocket sun

Hold your head down in a ducking pond
See how i breathe the bubbles
Pick a few stars out for a cloudy night

I could tame damien
My love infectious bites you
I have a pocket sun boy
I'm everything that burns in you

Yeah in my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
In my element day, i know i can feel the dawn
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
I know i can feel the dawn

Peel the skin of love and lay it on me
My window wide and open
Free fall from the moon
My earth, my friend will catch me

I'm a carbonator
I'm the fizz for all i want to be
I'll free the sword
I'm the killer for all that hurts in me

In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
In my element day, i know i can feel the dawn
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
I know i can feel the dawn

Faint reminders of the rerun flicks of old days
Caught in iron till it melts and bleeds them life

In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
In my element day, i know i can feel the dawn
In my evergreen day, in my beautiful day
I know i can feel the dawn, feel the dawn
In my evergreen day X6
I know i can feel the dawn

Rollin' And Tumblin'

( with Jeff Beck )

Well, I rolled and I tumbled,
Cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled,
Cried the whole night long
When I woke up this morning,
Didn't know right or wrong

Well if the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
If the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
Well I would dive to the bottom
I swear, I'd never come up.

Well I could have had religion,
In this bad old Sunday
I could have had religion,
In this bad old Sunday
But whisky and bad love,
Wouldn't let me have my way

I rolled and I tumbled
And I rolled and I tumbled
I rolled and I tumbled

Here’s the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violins
Just run with me through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it's more than just bad luck

There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie
Never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this
Now's a bad a time as any

There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Yeah, yeah, wow

It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It was a long time ago

It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It's ok by me
It was a long time ago

There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

There, there, baby
It's just a textbook stuff
It's in the ABC of growing up...
Now, now, darling
Oh don't kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Spooky

( Dusty Springfield Cover / Just Like Heaven Ost )

In the cool of the evening
When everything is getting kind of groovy
You call me up and ask me
Would I like to go with you and see a movie?
First I say no, I've got some plans for tonight
And then I stop and say all right

Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
You always keep me guessing
I never seem to know what you are thinking
And if a girl looks at you
Yeah for sure your little eye will be a-winking

Oh I get confused, I never know where I stand
And then you smile and hold my hand

Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky, spooky, Spooky

If you decide some day to stop this little game that you are playing
I'm gonna tell you all the things my heart's just been dying to be saying
Just like a ghost you've been haunting my dreams
But now I know you're not what you seem

Love is kind of crazy with a spooky little boy like you
Spooky, spooky
Spooky little boy like you
Spooky li...
A spooky little boy, spooky little boy, spooky little boy
Spooky little boy

It was more than the blues, you slaughtered Valentine's Day
Why don't you send your pretty flowers to my grave?
Cause it was more than the blues, because this is February
And high up on the roof I hear the rain
Tell me why is it necessary for these winter months
To make my bones sore
Tell me why is it necessary for me
I got to feel the pain from the year before

It was a massacare on Valentine's Day
Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
It was a massacare on Valentine's Day
Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away

Why don't you ask her of the massacare?
I'm sure her face will tell it all.
Did you see my face on her picture wall when you were there?
And after there was laughter and her friends all threw a ball
While I cried all night in the bathroom stall
Now the chocolates melted wet
I saw Ms. Candy Heart with Mr. Cigarette
While the band played vulgar symphonettes
That's when I tried to steal your heart again
But you looked just like the Jezebel
Flush pink and red and you were drunk as hell.
Well, St. Valentine's ring the holy
It looks like cupid's arrow fell.

It was a massacare on Valentine's Day
Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
It was a massacare on Valentine's Day
Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away

Something's take some time but I can't lag behind
There's only fourteen days this month and then a day
But when spring comes, I never want to go out in the sun
Then I get the shakes around Labor Day
Something's take some time you know
Something's take some time you know
Something's take some time you know

It was a massacare on Valentine's Day
Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
It was a massacare on Valentine's Day
Those blues wouldn't go away; those blues wouldn't go away
