Imogen Heap Imogen Heap Lyrics
1.Getting Scared

Turn your ugly face
Are you so surprised to see me
Yeah i was your little childhood playground toy

And if i remember
Yeah if i do remember rightly
I said the tables would be turned around boy

Who's getting scared now
Tell me, tell me how does it feel
It feels so good from where im standing

The only times of my life
The sun was meant to shine for me
You made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain

Dug my pride with a knife
Encaged by your obsession with me
Time was mental torture and screams of justified pain

So ya gonna chase me now boy
Yeah ya gonna corner me now boy
You think ya gonna threaten me now boy
Somehow i dont think so

Yeah ya gonna stamp me down now boy
Yeah ya gonna crush me down now boy
You think ya gonna threaten me now boy
Somehow i dont think so

Who's getting scared now, tell me,
Tell me how does it feel
It feels so good from where im standing

Yeah youre getting scared now, piggy,
Go ahead and squeal
It sounds so nice from where im standing

Who's getting scared?
Who's getting scared now?


2.Sweet Religion

When my body wants to go
Tell me will my mind and soul
Live on and on forever
Am i on another level
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


3.Oh Me, Oh My

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

Bombarded by the phone, in my own home
Can't get the space that i need
And how i need it, yeah

Oh me, yeah, oh my
Oh me, me, me, me oh my
Oh when i look
When i look at my life
Oh me, oh my
When i look at my life, yeah lalala

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

And i need someone to talk to apart from you
But i guess that's just the way
Come what may, oh

Oh me, yeah, oh my
Oh me, me, me, me oh my
Oh when i look
When i look at my life
Oh me, oh my
When i look at my life

Oh god
Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
No, yeah

God
Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
Yeah
Are you out there
Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
If so where are you hiding?
I'm having trouble finding you

Oh me, oh my
Oh me, me, me, me oh my
Oh when i look
When i look at my life
Oh me, oh my
When i look at my life

Oh god
Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
No, yeah

God
Are you there
Are you there
Are you there
No
Are you out there
Are you there
Are you out there yeah yeah
Are you out there yeah yeah
Are you out there hmm
Are you out there
Are you out there


4.Shine

Rain drain my play away
Sun gun me down and burn me
Nature hates me today
My head distorts reality

Madness just moved into my shadow

Shine - i will not cry and i will not die no
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
Luck just gave me a kiss
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
I'll shine - shine,

You will love me as a winner

Why?


5.Whatever

You, you come to me
So perfectly yeah
So perfectly made

And yeah all that you are
And yeah all that you said
You're so exquisitely bred
Hmm yeah what more can i say

So yeah, yeah
I guess its alright
Yeah, no
I guess it's alright whatever
Yeah no
I guess its alright
Yeah no
I guess its alright whatever

And i, i hate ya for
For letting me fall for you
Just like a fool

And now im all psyching out
Hmm 'cause all were about
Is this ugly phone and its all i have
To look forward to, yeah.

Dreaming, of you lyin in my bed
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.


6.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 shes 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


7.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


8.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?


9.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.


10.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


11.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
