TAKE A BOW

Oh how about a round of applause?
Yeah standing ovation? Ooh oh yeah
Yeah y-yeah yeah

You look so dumb right now
Standing outside my house
Trying to apologise
Youre so ugly when you cry
Please just cut it out

Dont tell me youre sorry ’cause youre not
And baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show, really had me going
But now its time to go curtains finally closing
That was quite a show very entertaining
But its over now
Go on and take a bow

Grab your clothes and get gone
You better hurry up before the sprinklers come on
Talking ’bout “Girl I love you” “Youre the one”
This just looks like a rerun
Please what else is on?

Dont tell me you’re sorry ’cause youre not
And baby when I know youre only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show, really had me going
But now its time to go, curtains finally closing
That was quite a show very entertaining
But its over now
Go on and take a bow

How about a round of applause?
A standing ovation?

Another Facebook poll coming next week…

Sadie Jemmett – “Up On The Heath” (video)

On Mon 26 Mar 2012 / News, Videos / Leave a comment

Whilst sitting in a bar one night with a friend and writing a set list for a gig I was about to do, I wondered aloud what songs to play. “Why don’t you play all your happy songs?” he hilariously quipped. “Right!” I thought, “I’ll show him” and vowed to write a happy song. Up On The Heath was the result.
Sadie

————————————————————-

UP ON THE HEATH

Won’t you stand still with me
We’ll get out of this city
We’ll live our lives they’re meant to be
Breathe in the clean air

Oh, but you know my old car
It just wont get us very far
Just out of Hackney up to Gospel Oak is all im hoping for

So lets go up onto the Heath
Watch the city crawl beneath our feet
Try to beat these blues away

Oh, well won’t you come away
Cos the world looks good today
Lie on our backs and watch the world rush by
We’re high in a blue sky

And I’ll tell you what i know
Of the city down below
Of all the people here in London Town
Well im so glad i found you

Oh, let’s go up onto the Heath
Watch the city crawl beneath our feet
And try to beat these blues away
And pretend the world is perfect for today

When the lights begin to fade
We will slowly make our way
Through the ancient trees of Hampstead Heath
While the moon does creep
And the city sleeps

We’ll be up upon the Heath
Watching the city crawl beneath our feet
And we will beat these blues away, yeah
And we’ll know the world is perfect
And everything was worth it
Yes, we’ll know the world is perfect for today.

Sadie Jemmett – “Come Down” (live at The 12 Bar Club, video)

On Mon 19 Mar 2012 / News, Videos / Leave a comment

COME DOWN

Out beyond ideas of wrong and right
Is a place where we can lie
I’ll hold your hand if you hold mine
We’ll shut our mouths so we can’t fight
And I couldn’t say that I believe in love affairs
The way I did when I was younger
But I’m not asking you for anything that you don’t want to give you understand

I’ve been trying to come down
‘Cos nothing feels the same
And I was hoping you might hold me
‘Til I get back up again

I’ve got so much to tell you
That the words get stuck inside my head
It makes me dizzy
I try to put them into songs I can sing
But I always think there’s something missing
And I couldn’t say that I believe in anything
The way I did when I was younger
But I don’t think that I can keep the fear and joy out of my voice each time I see you

I’ve been trying to come down
Cos’ nothing feels the same
And I was hoping you might hold me
‘Til I get back up again

Live at The 12 Bar Club, 13 June 2011

Sadie Jemmett – “Take Me Out Tonight” (video)

On Mon 5 Mar 2012 / News, Videos / Leave a comment

TAKE ME OUT TONIGHT

Baby please say something warm
Cos I feel invisible
Say you like the clothes I’m wearing
or notice that I changed my hair
Wont you take me dancing, take me bowling, take me drinking
Take me out tonight

I’m sorry for the things I said
I wasn’t thinking straight there’s a muddle in my head
How could i ever be enough for you
It’s so hard for me to trust

Let me take you dancing, take you bowling, take you drinking
Take you out tonight

So lets go paint this evening red
While there’s a hot sun beating down on Soho Square
We won’t talk about the future or past
Won’t imagine that this thing is gonna last

We’ll just go out dancing, we’ll go out bowling, we’ll go out drinking,
We’ll go out tonight
Yeah, we’ll go out tonight
Oh we’ll just go out dancing, we’ll go out bowling, we’ll go out drinking,
We’ll go out tonight
Take me out tonight
I’ll take you out tonight

Sadie Jemmett – “The Beautiful People” (live at The 12 Bar Club, video)

On Mon 27 Feb 2012 / Live, News, Videos / Leave a comment

THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

I saw you with her yesterday
She’s beautiful all smiles and waves
You were both looking so fine
Shoulda stopped and said hello but I
Couldn’t let this feeling grow
Envy likes to watch from the side
And I can’t remember feeling
This cut up about

Anything

What are you doing without me
In a life you made up
Now you’re one of the beautiful people
I can’t touch
I can’t touch

So I just watched you walking by
And I thought about the reasons why
You let me fall behind
And I try to make myself believe
That you never meant that much to me but
Every single word is a lie
And I cant remember wanting
Anybody quite like

I want you

What are you doing without me
In a life you made up
Now you’re one of the beautiful people
I can’t touch
I can’t touch

Sadie Jemmett – “These Days” (video)

On Mon 20 Feb 2012 / News, Videos / Leave a comment

THESE DAYS

These days are dragging by and there’s just too much rain
Too much rain for a summer in London Town
I keep myself busy painting the house
But I’m lonely and none of my friends are about

I thought of you today on the bus in the rain
I pictured you laughing again and again
If you knew how much I missed you you’d be back like a shot
Telling me oh, just be yourself

And I’ve got to stop kidding myself
That I don’t need anyone else to love me

Now everyone tells me you just did your best
But I don’t think your best was enough
I was so young when you left
I’m a woman now you know
A woman with a child trying to build up a life

You know its not easy with a kid on your own
It’s not easy to settle and build up a home

And I’ve got to stop kidding myself
That I don’t need anyone else to love me

These days are dragging by and there’s just too much rain
Too much rain for a summer in London Town
I thought of you today on the bus in the rain
I pictured you laughing again and again
I pictured you laughing again and again

Sadie Jemmett – Five Things That I Noticed As I Walked To Camden Square (video)

On Mon 13 Feb 2012 / News, Videos / Leave a comment

Lou Reed apparently once said “give me a title and I’ll write you a song.”

Such was the begining of this song.

I came up with the title first, actually, originally walking to Soho Square, but discovered that I found many more interesting things to write about whilst walking through Camden Town.

Having worked at the market there and lived just off Camden Square in two rooms with my baby girl when I first moved to London, Camden Town holds a special place in my heart.

Everything is written from observation in the song apart from the meeting at the end, that is an amalgamation of many memories.

love, Sadie
