Imogen Heap

Imogen heap is a band that ive really liked lately. . well they arent so much a band as a vocalists, the only instruments she uses is her voices. what i particularily like about this band is that they're lyrics are much more like poetry than regular song lyrics. their song that im most familiar with is "Hide and Seek", which is a really mellow but extremely good song. their lyrics are very poetic as seen below.

where are we?
what the hell is going on?
the dust has only just begun to fall
crop circles in the carpet
sinking, feeling
spin me round again
and rub my eyes,this can't be happening
when busy streets a mess with people
would stop to hold their heads heavy
hide and seek
trains and sewing machines
all those years
they were here first
oily marks appear on walls
where pleasure moments hung before the takeover,
the sweeping insensitivity of this still life
hide and seek
trains and sewing machines (you won't catch me around here)
blood and tears
they were here first
Mmmm what do you say, Mmmm that you only meant well?
well of course you did
Mmmm what do you say,Mmmm that's all for the best?
ah of course it is
Mmmm what do you say? Mmmm that it's just what we need
you decided this
Mmmm what do you say?
Mmmm what did she say?
ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cut out
speak no feeling
no I don't believe you
you don't care a bit,
you don't care a bit
