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 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

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
