imogen heap – blanket (live) lyrics

[intro]
“so this song, i wrote- actually, this song came out before even the album came out. and i didn’t technically write it all myself, this one. this one was written with mintos from urban species and this was a song that i really, really loved and i actually wrote it with the most terrible hangover, and actually maisie has a lot to answer for that. she’s in the audience. for some reason i got terribly drunk and that’s very unlike me. i’m very professional, you see. and i just had the worst hangover and i just- i mean i did wanna be there because (a) mintos is really s-xy and (b) cause it’s urban species and i liked urban species. so i was feeling really kind of groggy and mintos was like- he kinda had this plan of what he wanted me to do and i just wasn’t having any of it ’cause it meant extra work for me, so i just went ‘no, sorry, i’ve got this idea’ and this is what i ended up- this is what i sang and this is what it ended up being. it’s called ‘blanket’ and i really like it. and, in the middle, i’ll be doing, kind of, mintos’ rap, so excuse me for that. it kinda… i do my best.”

[verse 1]
emotionless this city lies
cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
the dull, the dark shades on my day
i live inside this place

[verse 2]
locked up inside my metal cage
always tense and filled with rage
above the concrete fields below
with you i wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

[chorus]
i see only what i wanna see, woah
i’ll be only who i wanna be
my blanket covers me, yeah

[verse 3]
as a youth 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
the beats and melodies keep realities at bay
but what happens when the records done and starts to fade away

[verse 4]
alone within myself again
i try to veil away my pain
the dirty grey surrounding me ’round
and now i hear no sound

[chorus]
i see only what i wanna see, woah
i’ll be only who i wanna be
my blanket covers me, covers me
covers me, covers me, covers me, yeah

[chorus]
i see only what i wanna see, woah
i’ll be only who i wanna be
my blanket covers me

[interlude]

[bridge]
you are my living world
you are my living world
you are, you are, you are my
my only living world

[chorus]
i see only what i wanna see, woah
i’ll be only who i wanna be
my blanket covers me, covers me
covers me, covers me, covers me, yeah

[chorus]
i see only what i wanna see, woah
i’ll be only who i wanna be
my blanket covers me

[outro]
my blanket covers me, yeah
