Voices...

Okay okay. So I buy a new Muse lp to add to my collection and treat myself to Lady Ga Ga.. I also got Florence and the Machine.. her music used on Holby City and then connected on Radio Five when they previewed Mercury Prize Winners... and so I have been listening to her.. and her voice has been driving me wild cos it reminds me so much of someone else...!!! Aargh. And then tonight as I splashed home through the puddles I thought it had come to me. The c-d deluxe single Millwall Matt sent me whilst in the US in the summer of 2000 - Mandalay... Flowers Bloom disc 3. Containing 'Flowers Bloom', 'You Say' and 'Sleep'.

Most brilliant. Never really got Matt's feelings for me - but this c-d is a rather good legacy...

'Sometimes
The reflection I see
Bears no
Resemblance to me
Sometimes
I look around the place I live
And wonder
How I came to choose the things I did
In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles
Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine
Shin to toe to thigh to mind X5
Sometimes
I wake and know the time will come
The day unfolds
Someday
That everything will resonate
Flowers bloom
In desolate places
In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles
Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine
Shin to toe to thigh to mind X4
Shin to toe to thigh to mind to mine
Sometimes it seems
All the birds are flying south
While I am grounded
One day I'll wake
And everything will resonate
Flowers bloom
In desolate places
In the morning
He smiles
At the start of another day
He smiles
Kisses my shoulder
Cradles his body
Behind mine
Shin to toe to thigh to mind X4
Shin to toe to thigh to mind to mine'

But now as I listen I am still not sure! Can anyone help me!!? Tori Amos? Cocteau Twins - Liz Fraser? Belly's Tanya C? MMMM - help me someone!!
