Ilya - Martina Topley-Bird

Tell you baby
I've been waiting
For so long
I want it over
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating
Placenta fed
Get out of my head
Life's a laugh
When you complain about
The way that I give
All I have to give
You say you want more:
You can't sustain without
You wanna live
But you don't know how

Overthinking,
Smoking and drinking
You're in my head
It's time for bed
One word I kno' tho
I can't be havin'
When you say
Goin' away

Cut you in half
See how you feel without
I want you to live
But you don't know how
Am I gone?
I want to be reborn
Thought I was in love
Tell me was I wrong

You know we were wrong together

Ain't it funny, they say it's sunny
And come the cloud:
My inside out
Water bed
In my head
It's pleasant waiting
It's pleasant hating

They say it's fine
And then come the storm
No memory of ever feeling warm
I don't mind
The rain and such
But I miss the warm
The warm of your ....

You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
You know we were wrong together
Together
Together
Together
Together
Together

I always found it fascinating and oddly beautiful that she would write such powerful lyrics about ending her relationship with Tricky, given that he produced the track...using his real name within an acronym:

(I) (L)ove (Y)ou (A)drian

It was like a final kiss to a love gone wrong.

It was so strangely beautiful to me, that I took the name as my own.

@margitaaa It really is, isn't it? :-) I have likened it to the closest we will ever come to lying on a floating cloud...or experiencing complete control of our consciousness within a dream state.

By the way, I love the song on your page...and you have excellent taste in music, looking at your favorites section.
