Jeff Beck
Blanket (feat. Imogen Heap) [Live]
[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
