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 '10,000 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!

First Train Home Got to get on it Got to get on it Got to get on it Bodies disengage Our mouths are fleshing over (Over, over, over, over) As hiss and echo gain Irises retreat into ovals of white The urge to feel your face In blood, rushing to paint my hand print A Frisbee one by one, your vinyl on laminate I'm desperate for some kind of contact First train home, I've got to get on it First train home, I've got to get on it First train home, I've got to get on it Got to catch, to catch, to catch, catch, catch The first train home, I've got to get on it First train home, I've got to get on it First train home, I've got to get on it First Train home Temporal dead zone Where clocks are barely breathing (Breathing, breathing, breathing) Yet no one cares to notice for all their yamming on I calm up to hold it together I want to play-do waveforms in the hideaway I want to get on with getting on with things I want to run in fields Paint the kitchen and love someone And I can't do any of that here, can I First train home, I've got to get on it First train home, I've got to get on it First train home, I've got to get on it First train home So what, you've had one too many So what, I'm not that much fun to be with So what, you've got a silly hat on So what, I didn't want to come here, anyway What matters to you It doesn't matter, matter to me What matters to me It doesn't matter, matter to you What matters to you It doesn't matter, matter to them What matters to them It doesn't change anything Got to get on it First train home Got to get on it First train home First train home, I've got to get on it (I've got to get on it) To catch, to catch, catch, catch, catch (First train home) The first train home, I've got to get on it First train home (First train home) Got, got, got, got To get, get, get, get Out, out, out, out Now, now, now, now Wait it out Where do we go from here How do we carry on I can't get beyond the questions Clambering for the scraps In the shatter of us collapsed That cuts me with every could-have-been Pain on pain on play repeating With the backup makeshift life in waiting Everybody says Time heals everything But what of the wretched hallow The endless in-between Are we just going to wait it out There's nothing to see here now turning the sign around We're closed to the Earth till further notice A stumbling clich'd case, Crumpled and puffy-faced Dead in the stare of a thousand miles All I want, only one, street-level miracle I'll be an out and out, born-again from none more cynical Everybody says That time heals everything all in the end What of the wretched hollow The endless in-between Are we just going to wait it out And sit here cold We will be long gone by then In lacklustre In dust we layer on old magazines Fluorescent lighting sets the scene For all we could and should be being In the one life that we've got In the one life that we've got Everybody says That time heals everything And what of the wretched hollow The endless in-between Are we just going to wait it out And sit here Just going to wait it out And sit here cold Just going to sweat it out Wait it out Earth Baby behave or make it work Baby behave or

This house won't tolerate anymore Stop this right away Put that down and clean this mess up End of conversation Put your back in it and make it up to me now The cold shoulder, folded arms and looking up You've never listened and carry on, careless, regardless This is not a fire drill and if we hold any hope It's harmony connection and stereo symbiosis These lego land empires, choking out mine Now you're everywhere, everywhere Multiplying around me child A strain on my heart This rock can't tolerate anymore Stop this right away Do you love me Put that down and clean this mess up End of conversation Do you love me Put your back in it and make it up to me now Baby behave or make it work Baby behave or make it work Baby behave or make it work Baby behave or make it work Baby behave or

Little bird, little bird, little bird Where have you gone Swoon Your name in lights Vibrating to your ringtone My world begins to dance We discuss important stuff The rendez-vous is set up To catch a film and dinner Stuck in a cinema Or saving me from a car you'll Suddenly realize and fall into my arms Working you undercover, softly, slowly gotcha Any moment now you're gonna swoon into my arms The same you, the same me Spoon feeding the groundhog song The friend too good to go there with Let's shake it up and get it on Hmm well I know you know you do And maybe you've not said in so many words

a full moon It'd be a sure sure shame to not to In every wonder what you are I've blurted everything I know just for a piece of it Flash frozen, patchworked and fallow I sprung up in hearts and arrow super highway Watch it closely you see it begin to move Watch it closely you see it begin to flicker While we're here, let's see what happens What we got, got, got to lose What we got to lose While we're tidal and flexed on a full moon It'd be a sure sure shame to not to Do what you feel, just how you like Nobody has to know Do what you feel, just how you like Nobody has to know Watch, watch, watch, watch, watch What we got to lose While we're here, let's see what happens What we got, got, got to lose While we're tidal and flexed on a full moon It'd be a sure sure shame to not to Do it for England Do it for love Do it for us Do it for goodness sake Do it for all the times we wished we had Do what you want Just how you like Nobody has to know Do what you want Just how you like Nobody has to know Between sheets You and me, between sheets It just doesn't get better than this The many windswept yellow stickies of my mind Or the molten emotional front line I couldn't care less, I'm transfixed in this absolute bliss Sweet sleepless tumbling night And the morning on your skin, a loved up light Tracing patterns in the maze of your back Softly softly the goose bumps, like that And then a kiss Maybe another And another one 2-1 First the earth was flat But it fattened up when we didn't fall off Now we spin laps around the sun All the gods lost, Two-One And holes to heaven pointed out to us from light years away We're surrounded by a billion galaxies Things are not always Things are not always how they seem Will you be ready Will you be ready The interim of life Has got you tiptoed and pinning all your hopes On the top dog of dreams You're not alone in this The polyfilla way, look strong in the weakness of the gaps Things are not always Things are not always how they seem They don't turn out always Don't quite turn out always how we think Will we ready Will we be ready I'm dying to know, what's in your head I'm dying to know, how it all got in there I'm dying to know, to help make some sense of it all I'm dying to know, tell me, is it my fault And I care about you, darling And I care about you 'Cause I care about you More than anyone else Things are not always Things are not always how they seem They don't turn out always Don't quite turn out always how we think Will we be ready Bad body double She pops into the bathroom Just after a shower and she

Non Albums Tracks
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.
Aliens
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?
Blanket
( With Urban Species )
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....

Hallelujah
( Leonard Cohen / Myspace song ) Baby, I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch But love is not some victory march It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you Remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
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

Kidding ( Live )
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?

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
Lonely Little Petunia
( Six Feet Under Everything Ends OST )
I'm a lonely little petunia in an onion patch
Magic Me (Escape, an animated short OST) In the back of the beyond, from one eye of a storm to another A cavernous unknown, for the seeds of survival we search I muscle and man up 'cause every bone in my body's got nowhere left And when the strength bleeds out, it’s the hopes and the dreams that hold on Magic me, you kill me but I only get stronger Magic me, am I everything that’s wrong in this world Feel my secret weapon fire, from your trigger happy lies Or give into love and save yourself If you give into love In crevasses of darkness, the hatred you harvest that feeds the fear Angry, angry, whatever you might lose, whatever you've gotta prove, it has nothing to do with me With all of your might and your slyness you vanish me and I’d disappear from view But our enemies live within, so I sit pretty in the heart of you Magic me, you kill me but I only get stronger Magic me, am I everything that’s wrong in this world Feel my secret weapon fire, from your every trigger happy lie Or give into love and save yourself If you give into love Send me off to space but I’m not going away Paint me out of the picture but I’m not going away Frame me for the blame but I’m not going away Cover up of the century Magic me, you kill me but I only get stronger Magic me, am I everything that’s wrong in this world Feel my secret weapon fire, from your every trigger happy lie Or give into love and save yourself If you give into love and save yourself So give into 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

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
Speeding Cars
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

The Happy Song Bring, bring on the bicycle Beep, beep in the car Ping, ping a submarine Phew, phew helicopter A choo, choo train An aeroplane Or whee down the slide I just adore, 'dore, 'dore you every day more Wherever we are So up in the sky And deep in the ocean Through valleys and hills Away we go Bring, bring on the bicycle Beep, beep in the car Ping, ping a submarine Phew, phew helicopter A choo, choo train an aeroplane A rocket to the stars! There's a dance, dance, dance going on in my heart Wherever we are So up in the sky And deep in the ocean Through valleys and hills Away we go You oo, oo little monkey Who's staying up late Who purrs like a cat when they get their own way Who then turns into a lion and let's out a roar I love, love, love you every day more Whatever's in store Wooo up in the sky And deep in the ocean Through valleys and hills Away we go The Quiet What to say When the right words fail to find the light of day When everything is lost And mixed feelings seed the hurricane of our hearts 'Cause the trouble with you Is the trouble with me As the weeks and months and years dragged on When we didn't do our thing To lift a smile Do we have to raise the dead You know far too much Regret hangs off your head In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room In the time that it takes to be finally understood In the time that it takes from being one of us to two Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life again Stargazer, storm chaser Bought for dust, sold for gold But will the true cost ever be known Can I even begin To comprehend what you must've been through You're still tunneling dirt To escape the hurt In the time that it takes for a smile to cross the room In the time that it takes to be finally understood In the time that it takes from being one of us to two Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life again How far will you go This calls for drastic measures When you're so far away So far away from pleasure Can somebody mediate 'Cause your love comes across as hate These pieces just don't add up Listen Listen to the quiet voice Of your heart Listen to the quiet voice Of your heart, of your heart Listen to the quiet voice Listen to the quiet voice Listen to the quiet voice Listen to the quiet voice Who's saving who In the time that it takes, for a smile to cross the room In the time that it takes, to be finally understood In the time that it takes, from being one of us to two Is the time it takes to make the break to win at life In the time that it takes, for a smile to cross the room In the time that it takes, to be finally understood In the time that it takes, from being one of us to two It's the time it takes the moon to rise We can start anew, let's win at life again Silent world Rest assured that love lies beyond words

Valentine's Day Massacre ( Rustic Overtones )
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
