The dark, woeful voice still resembles a suicidal Suzanne Vega; the lavish orchestration is predictably precise and the subject matter remains crumbling relationships, breaking hearts and all that is doom and gloom in love.

New Musical Express



The title at least betrays an acute understanding on Tanita Tikaram's part of her place in the rock firmament. Ever since emerging from the unpromising background of Basingstoke as an ingenuous teenage prodigy in the late 1980s, Tikaram has been promoted as a musician for grown-ups, the heiress to the tradition of profound--if not always readily comprehensible--singer-songwriters established by Carole King and Joni Mitchell. It nearly worked--there were initially a few respectable hits around Europe, but by this late stage the bus had well and truly left. Tikaram, to her credit, sounds utterly unbothered, and so fills another album in the same manner she always has: politely, occasionally intriguingly, and with fingers crossed that her distinctive, husky baritone will mask the howlers that still occasionally grace her lyric sheets.

STOP LISTENING

Sono felice di essere qui
felice di essere con te
In un momento della vita in cui facciamo ciche realmente desideriamo
I vecchi amici adesso guardano chi si ama, si chiedono dove noi finiremo
scambiano sguardi fra loro, e ti accusano, ti accusano
e questo va avanti, avanti, avanti...
Non fare questo a me, smetti di ascoltare, comincia a chiamare il mio nome
basta allontanarti da me, comincia a renderti conto, sono qui;
basta ascoltare, continua a tenermi
sono felice di stare qui, felice di toccare il tuo viso
non ho nulla da temere qui, questi sentimenti non possono essere ignorati
Oh, perchnon ascolti mai? Che cosa mai vuoi?
E' strano come sento di essere, il tipo di persona che sento
un'altra persona non avrei mai voluto essere
tua sempre, sempre, sempre.....
Non faccio questo a te, smetti di ascoltare,
sto continuando a chiamare il tuo nome
Non mi sto allontanando da te, comincia a sentire che sono qui
basta stuzzicarmi, continua a tenermi
puoi essere fragile, non me ne curo, sarsempre qui
Non faccio questo a te, smetti di ascoltare,
sto continuando a chiamare il tuo nome, si lo faccio
Non mi sto allontanando da te, comincia a sentire che sono qui
basta stuzzicarmi, continua a tenermi


LIGHT UP THE WORLD

Thinking back, could I feel much older? and my stance couldn't feel much colder
Can they tell what I'm getting over now? in the park I've seen you walking
And in my dreams I've heard you talking can they tell what I'm getting over now?
'Cos you light up the world yeah, you light up the world

In this time, and times to come I do not know if your hopes have won
I do not care where you think you'll find it and I do not care if I fall behind
Thinking back I was so much younger thinking back you were so much more tender
Thinking back, will it make me hunger now?

For you, light up the world
Yeah you, light up the world
Well there's something about the girl
Yeah there's something about her world
There's something for everyone

Have you found yourself in the frame of mind?
Where no-one can be too kind
And there's so little lost
There must be a life to trust there
And if I try I know I'll be there
To hold, and be mine


AMORE SI

It was a lonely summer where I have been your shelter following
your footsteps will you be my first regret?
Sorry if I'm foolish making myself secrets seems to come between us
And we always leave them there, my child always leave them there...

Who will love you?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now you're falling
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold you?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?

Waiting in the cold like this always feeling nervous hiding in the shadows
I'm sure I can't get caught you know
I can't keep together any of my thoughts how they feel but I just came
round to talk, you know
Always here to talk...

Who will need me?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm losing
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold me?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm fighting amore si
Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane?

Who will need me?
Do you break my heart? do I have to go? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm losing
Do we have to cheat? do we have to lie? does it mean I've loved somebody?
Who will hold me?
Do we learn to cry? do we have to hate? does it mean we've loved somebody?
Now I'm fighting amore si
Does it mean I'm real? does it make me sane?


BACK IN YOUR ARMS

Now this isn't the party I would hold now, I'm trying to make it on my own
I have opened my house but it's not like a home without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

No this isn't the season I would have chose
To be walking for miles with nowhere to go
I find shelter and warmth but I still feel the cold without you
And I really don't want to feel that you're not here 'cause I would be

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on calling you
Yeah, I'd keep on calling you

Back in your arms, I would be
Back in your arms I'd keep on holding you
Yeah, I'd keep on holding you

How do you think it feels? when you have a broken heart
Can't you reach out for me? can't you take me baby once again?


I DON'T WANNA LOSE AT LOVE

You don't want to do too much staring at the evening sun
Maybe you cannot stand up but you have become one
I just want to see her smile maybe she will never hurt
And all that I have yearned to touch, well, I have made worse

Is she all you need? ah, you fools first agreed

I don't want to spoil your game every day is bound to change
Making every move seem wise in her dark eyes
No, I don't want to be the clown making like I've seen too much
When everything from here is down I am the head-rush

Is she all you need? would you steal from me?
Is she all you see?

And the sky, the sky, the sky is shining the sky, the sky is mine

Now I don't want to lose at love maybe you would take the chance
Struggling in anothers world I'm just losing at once

Is she all you need? (she all you need?)
She's been too far, too far from me
And she's all, all, all, that you see
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine
Yea, the sky, the sky is mine

I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love
Now, the sky, the sky was mine yeah the sky was mine the sky,
the sky was mine the sky was mine
I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love
I don't want to lose at love I don't want to lose at love


THE DAY BEFORE YOU CAME

i must have left my house at eight because I always do my train,
i'm certain left the station just when it was due
i must have read the morningpaper, going into town and having gotten through
the editorial no doubt
i must have frowned
i must have made my desk around a quarter after nine
with letters to be read and heaps of paper waiting to be signed
i must have gone to lunch at half past twelve or so the usual place, the usual
bunch and still on top of this I'm pretty sure
it must have rained the day before you came
i must have lit my seventh cigarette at half past two
and at the time I never even noticed I was blue
i must have kept on dragging
through the business of the day and without really knowing anything I hid
a part of me away at five I must have left there's no exception to the rule
a matter of routine I've done it ever since
i finished school the train back home again undoubtedly
i must have read the evening paper then
oh yes, I'm sure my life was well within it's usual frame the day before you came
i must have opened my front door at eight o'clock or so
and stopped along the way to buy some chinese food to go
i'm sure I had my dinner watching something on tv there's not,
i think, a single episode of dallas that I didn't see
i must have gone to bed around a quarter after ten
i need a lot of sleep and so I like to be in bed by then
i must have read a while the latest one by marilyn french or something in that style
it's funny but I had no sense of living without aim
the day before you came
and turning out the light
i must have yawned and cuddled up to yet another night
and rattling on the roof I must have heard the sound of rain
the day before you came


IF I EVER

What do you do for fun? what do you do when you want fun days?
I could be just anyone I'm happy to smile and mad on mondays
The world is a better place now every time I see your face

If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you

Everytime I hear your voice everytime I feel you're near to me
Will you ever make a choice will you ever be that real for me?
The friendship feeling's fine I just want you to be mine

if I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
if I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you

He comes alive, she comes alive, he comes alive, she comes alive
He comes alive, she comes alive, he comes alive, she comes alive

You can make a madman sane you can make the winters warm again
Promise me you'll never change promise me you'll always stay the same
Cos the world is a better place now every time I see your face

If I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you
If I ever ever get through to you if I ever ever get through to you

If we ever get together we can always make it better
If we ever get together we can always make it better


I LIKE THIS

Share our coffee share my thoughts I could wait for years
I don't know if you're an angel or I'm just feeling weird
I like this picture but I don't want to work to hard and I ask you for a number
You say "hey, baby if I'm an angel maybe you should take my card"

Baby I got time for you but can you thrill me? really thrill me
Baby I got time for you but can you thrill me? really thrill me

I'm not silence into hiding I want the words you say
And if it seems we take the same, well...when I feel lucky, I feel lucky

Baby I got time for you, yeah if you do me, really do me
Baby I got time for you, yeah if you show me, really show me

Oh, well, I like this one
Oh, yeah, well I like this one
I-I-I like this one
Yeah, yeah, I like this one yeah


I KNEW YOU

I wore a watch today it didn't tell me the time
I saw your face today I knew you'd see through mine
Does it help a lot? to see I'm on the spot never understood

But I knew you yea I knew you
But I knew you yea I knew you

I heard your voice today turn into what is best
I felt your soft caress turn into something less
Don't make me sound alive don't make me sound a - hurt
Don't make me, make - believe

'cause I knew you yea I knew you
Yes I knew you yea I knew you

It doesn't make me lie doesn't make you wise
Do not analyse 'cos I'd always cry
Does it help a lot just to see you through 'cos, I'll never know

But I knew you yea I knew you
But I knew you yea I knew you
La la la la la la ah la la la la la la ah

Nobody would know your name nobody would know your name
Is anybody know his name ...I knew you
