![]() Speak For Yourself (2005) [ larger cover art ] |
The moment I said it
The moment I opened my mouth
Letting your eyelids
Bulldoze the life out of me
I know what you're thinking
But darling, you're not thinking straight
Sadly, things just happen 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
We're getting nowhere tonight
Now sleep, I promise it'll all seem better, somehow
In time
It's not even light out
Suddenly, suddenly
Oh, you've somewhere to be
No hesitation
Mmm, 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, (And another one) please
Don't! oh, (smash...) please-
Don't! oh, (And another one) please
I'm losing you
Trust me on this one
I've got a bad feeling
Trust me on this one
You're going to throw it all away
With no hesitation
(Smash...)

| coffee-eyes (Bawstin, Massa2shits) | Posted: Dec 07, 2008 - 13:19 I like Imogen a lot. But I hear The Shins almost every time. Is it just me? |

Dude I like eclectic when it's actually eclectic. But this was simply an "adult alternative" streak longer than the streak I just cleared out of my daughter's diaper. Quite homogeneous. I can easily get that on my FM. Incidentally my preferred music does come from an AM station: Radio 1190 "The best independent music." Too bad their stream sucks. |

she is nice - if you have not already, check out "Le Fil" by Camille (a French artist). Methinks very very good. And damn, I just saw the weirdest looking bird flying off. |

I saw her after the show and she's like 6'4...i kind of just stopped in my tracks and grinned stupidly. She'll be back that way in December. Must have been a decent crowd. Hope to see you there... |

| 2Hawks (Dayton, Ohio) | Posted: Aug 24, 2006 - 06:20 What an amazing piece. Wild and wonderful complex mix. Nothing less than a 9 |
| Steven_G | Posted: Aug 24, 2006 - 06:07 I adore the piano work combined with the vocals! |

| jeffntracy ((behind you)) | Posted: May 05, 2006 - 00:02 I like music of all different sounds, as long as it says something. She calls someone on their bulldozing the life out of her and I can really relate to that, and that's not easily said in this world where people like to flame other people for no transgression at all. |

Yes. And I like that the voice is a main thing, and the music itself has left on the background, well kinda...if you know what I mean. ---NEWS! Exactly a month later (5/9) I had to change from 8 to 10. I have been listening this song a lot and I adore it by now...how calm, so sad. I love the purity of the lyrics. |

| ampersand ("at University," as they say) | Posted: Apr 05, 2006 - 18:47 Reminds me of some of the songs on Robert Miles's "23am." I think it's the twinkly piano and the whispery ethereal voice. On the whole, I like it. |
| jraum | Posted: Apr 05, 2006 - 18:46 I quite like all her music -- could stand to add Just For Now to the playlist... |
