turn your ugly face
are you so surprised to see me
yeah I was your little childhood playground toy

and if I remember
yeah if I do remember rightly
I said the tables would be turned around boy

who's getting scared now
tell me, tell me how does it feel
it feels so good from where I'm standing

the only times in my life
the sun was meant to shine for me
you made it pour down, pour down with tears of rain

dug my pride with a knife
encaged by your obsession with me
time for some mental torture and screams of justified pain

so ya gonna chase me now boy
yeah ya gonna corner me now boy
you think ya gonna threaten me now boy
somehow I don't think so

yeah ya gonna stamp me down now boy
yeah ya gonna crush me down now boy
you think ya gonna threaten me now boy
well somehow I don't think so

who's getting scared now,
tell me, tell me how does it feel
it feels so good from where I'm standing

yeah you're getting scared now, piggy,
go ahead and squeal
it sounds so nice from where I'm standing.

who's getting scared now,
tell me, tell me how does it feel
it feels so good from where I'm standing

yeah you're getting scared now, piggy,
go ahead and squeal
it sounds so nice from where I'm standing
from where I'm standing

who's getting scared?
who's getting scared now?
who's getting scared?
who's getting scared now?
who's getting scared?
who's getting scared now?

if i were Liz, i would be a little pissed off.
No kidding. This could easily be a Liz Phair track. In fact, I had to look to see if it was her on something I had not heard before.

Definitely doesn't sound like Imogen Heap to me.

I hear a lot of influences in this song. Starts off sounding like Liz Phair with the vocals at the beginning - then you can hear some Alanis Morisette, then some Bjork electronica. As the song went on I got into it more.

Original, but not very good. I used to think a lot more of her... ever since seeing her in concert, though, she seems like more of a performer than an artist to me.

i get it. this chick is pissed off. just like Alanis and Fiona.

I like it. Reminds of that Chemical Brothers song -- "How Does It Feel Like", or something like that. Definitely rocks more than the average Heap tune.

This guy knows my thoughts... Normally like Imogen Heap, but less so this time around.

Okay, I'm getting scared now. Happy?

did not like this song. it squawked in my ears. I would totally give her another chance, because I think I heard something recently that I did appreciate, but this song did nothing for me. And hey, when people want to blame rage on PMS... well, what excuse do guys get to use? Testosterone? At least we only rage on once a month, then... ;)

angry PMS pyscho rage! F!
another subtle, nuanced perspective from tony620d! i can't stand anything she does, but usually i just wince til it's over. this is positively exhausting my patience.

Well, I guess at least it's better than the arrhythmic gasping and squeaking from her other album.

Yep, saw her May 22nd. It was an awesome show, really cool to see her doing all the mixing and sampling and such up there on her own. I definitely recommend seeing her live while she's still playing small venues.

This is almost as bad as Kate Bush. Please make it stop.

Wow, she does sound like Alanis, but thats OK. I like this song a lot for the accompaniment also. Play it some more.

Would be unremarkable and boring except for the "I don't think so", which makes it cliche and annoying.

I'm 'getting scared' that RP may play this again. If so, please reconsider. Thx

Nope Imogen, not surprised to see you. You get played just about as much as Kate Bush and Mark Knopfler around here. Really hard to bear.
