alliwantedwasyou.

asked your permission, didn't i?
to self medicate this way once in a while
aren't you afraid of everything
your love's listening you can't appreciate anything
down on the sofa with a record running
baby I can't help it
letting you down
letting you down
letting you down

got your attention, didn't i?
crying coming apart right here before your eye
you aren't disappointed, are you now?
i'm still listening, just tell me what you want
i won't feel a thing, just tell me what you want
leaving you alone wasn't my decision
baby it's not easy
letting you down
letting you down
letting you down

"busted lip" live

music video for "blackout"

interview with nme from 2003
"for a long time I played in a really loud band that I didn't think was a very good loud band at the time," says smith of heatmiser. "i've recently been checking it out again to see if i have been slagging it off for no good reason. it is what it is. my main problem with it is my singing and not with the rest of the band. when I first started doing interviews by myself, i was putting a lot of distance between me and them, and i didn't distinguish the fact that i didn't like my singing. in fact, sometimes i think i said, 'that band sucked,' which is really not cool. that's one of the things i regret. since then i've talked to neil. he understands that it's just one of those things you can't take back. it sucks. i think it hurt him for a while."
