| Imogen Heap – The Moment I Said It Lyrics | 18 years ago |

I wanted to post to put the lyrics right at last....for some reason no one wanted to go to the effort to put them down correctly (after one good correction from the original post that contained a great many errors, there were still a few things that were incorrect and the last little part of the song was ignored where she is singing "bye bye bye bye...." over and over...anyway, these are the correct lyrics - see the first verse for "Lead in your eyelids" and the part where she starts to sing "Smash"): "The Moment I Said It" The moment I said it the moment I opened my mouth lead in your eyelids Bulldozed 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 dont like it, I dont like it, I dont like it at all Just put back the car keys or somebody's going to 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 no where tonight now sleep, I promise, it'll all seem better somehow in time It's not even light out Suddenly, you've somewhere to be No hesitation mmm...I've never seen you like this Your scaring me, Youre scaring me, Your scaring me to death Don't..oh, smash....please Don't...oh.....and another one Don't...oh.....and another one I'm losing you.......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 Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye Originally when I heard this song I simply thought it was about the author having said something that hurt the man who seemed to be intoxicated or somehow unable to process the problem in his current state. Today, while listening to the song for about the 50th time, I wondered if maybe the "smash" part was him hitting her. There is no real indication of violence there, but it just seemd to fit to me. "Smash, don't , not, please, another one." reminded me very much of that kind of pleading (as in, please don't smash me in the face again) but that is just an idea. It is really one powerful song. |
