Song lyrics
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 (Oh, you won't catch me around here)
Blood and tears (Hearts)
They were here first

Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that you only meant well?
Well, of course you did.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it's all for the best?
Ah, off course it is.
Mmm, what you say?
Mm, that it’s just what we need?
And you decided this?
Mmm what you say?
Mm,
What Did She Say?

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth
Mid-sweet talk
Newspaper word cut-outs (Paper word cut outs)
Speak no feeling
No, I dont believe you * i dont believe you
You don't care a bit,
You Don't Care A Bit

Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth (Hide and Seek)
Mid-sweet talk
Newspaper word cut-outs
Speak no feeling (Hide and Seek)
No, I dont believe you
You don't care a bit,
You Don't Care A Bit (you don't care a bit)

Oh, no (Hide and Seek)
You don't care a bit. (Hide and Seek)
Oh, no
You don't care a bit.
Oh, no
You don't care a bit
You don't care a bit
You Don't Care A Bit

It was pretty friggin wicked on the OC last week. Very haunting, and memorable. They knew what they were doing, they wanted us hooked.

Consider it done.

The OC last week was crazy but amazing! It is awesome how they can hook you on it! When I heard this song I was amazed and thought it sounded wicked cool! So I had to search it and when I did and listened to the whole thing I fell in love with it and I listen to it all the time! When ever I listen to it I think of the funeral and the death of TREY and it makes me sad! But i am glad the OC and this song will be playing all SUMMER!

Last week at my school, we had Every 15 Minutes, a program against DUI, and on Friday we had a funeral, and the "Walking Dead" (classmates who had "died" the day before) enter in a procession to this song. It made me fall in love with this song!

This is a great song but somewhat hauting. It's not one of those cheery normal pop-tunes that are just out there and take no second listening to understand. That's what I love about this song. The best bit is the ending. The way the line 'you don't care a bit' is repeated on the back... Awesome.

i cant get this song out of my head, havn't been able to for weeks, its beautiful and so so sad. The lack of instruments makes it even better because you feel her loneliness in the silence between the lines, gorgeous song, way to go immi! will be buying Speak For Yourself as soon as it's out!!

i really like this song, its real and it fits perfectlly with the last episode of the oc (which if i may add is the best show ever!!!) anyways the song is really good and i like the fact that there are no instruments and stuff it helps the message of the song get through *in my opinion*

I've corrected the lyrics with the ones from Imogen Heaps official homepage.. hopefully they'll be up soon.

Great song though, can't wait for her new album to be released..

dude, this song is NOT just about the oc. so stop talking about what happened in the season finale. so this song was playing. get over it. don't you guys have better things to say? like how this is a great song instead of OmG wHeN MaRiSsA sHoT tReY blah blah?

anyways, i'm the moderator of this artist & i'm pretty sure that the lyrics are correct.

& lastly, i'd like to say this is a great song & i love the lyrics.

thank you.

This song...it is so heartfelt...the lyrics, so true...

It is only a few times in a lifetime that you come across a song that truly speaks to you, a song that can describe your love, your hate, your happiness, your anger... and for this song in particular, your sadness. I don't know what it is about this song, be it the melody, the lyrics, the voice... and I can see that it has the same effect on so many others. But this song just makes me want to cry with so many emotions. Yes, I'm a guy, but I have emotions too. I know that some people would prefer that I not mention 'The O.C.', but that is where I first heard this song and the shooting of Trey was so sad. And I can't help but think that this song brings that sadness when I watch that scene over and over. Well, actually, no, Trey getting shot brought that sadness, but 'Hide And Seek' added to it. I wish everybody could hear this song; it would not only be a change from all of the hip-hop, and rap etc. (I like rock but still ), but it would probably also make us all appreciate our lives, and difficult situations within our lives that little bit more...
