Emotionless this city lies
Cruel it is, it clouds my eyes
The dull, the dark
Shades on my day
I live inside this play
Locked up inside my metal cage
Always tense and filled with rage
Above the concrete fields below
With you I wanna go, wanna go
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only what I wanna be
yeah-ah
My blanket covers me, yeah
Yeah (check it)
Now as a human I was party-poppin, breakin on the lino
Traded in my lino for a pad and a biro
Used to stand in line just so as I could sign my giro
But now my ends are meetin' in the best way that I know
Tk Tss Ksh and the beast that goes BOOM
See the music I consume to escape the doom and gloom
All the beats and melodies they keep realities at bay
But what happen when the record drummin' start to fade away
Alone within myself again
I try to veil away my pain
The dirty grey surrounding me 'round
And now I hear no sounds...
I feel like Melly Mel from way back in the days
As I wonder how I keep from going under
I got trouble on my mind like my name is Chuck D
And like Marvin Gaye it makes me wanna holler
But when the music hits me
I feel no pain
That's why I got to put you on again and again
I take the needle off the Technics
And put it in my vein
All my troubles get crushed
As the rush hits my brain
And away .. goes .. trouble.. down the drain
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
yeah-ah, yeah-ah
My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
I see only what I wanna see
I'll be only who I wanna be
yeah-ah, yeah-ah
My blanket covers me
Music is my sanctuary
Music is my blanket
You are my living world
You are my living world
You are you are you are my
My only living world....

Review about Blanket Imogen Heap | Reviewer: anonymous | 11/14/09
Imogen Heap, is truly an artist. I love her work, and this particular song just blew me away. Her vocals, the lyrics, and Jeff Beck's guitar are the perfect blend and this is probably the best collaboration I've ever heard. I'd like to see a collaboration between Imogen Heap and Radiohead. That'd be interesting.
Never was a Jeff Beck follower, never heard of Imogen Heap before I heard this version of Blanket. Never have I been so emotionally touched by a singer, tune, and artist together. Big fan of Stevie Nicks in the great years, Imogen's facial expressions remind me of a young Stevie. Most important song to me and will be for many years.
An emotional play/Killer Guitarist | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/5/09
Man did Jeff professionalize this Artist & put her on the map. The magic here is lots of music experience shining through, a well polished song, along with great vocals & a fantastic Blues Guitarist, (the best in the world, in my opinion.) Jeff is the only Guitarist that can literally make me cry. I started playing Guitar around the same time Jeff did, heard all the Blues Guitarists & only Jeff & Roy Buchanan have ever stirred emotions within me. This is also one of the best CD's ever recorded. Jeff sure has some great musicians working with him. Ahedarexia
Blanket with Jeff Beck | Reviewer: Ronnie Hughes | 9/21/09
I had never heard of Imogene Heap before this DVD. This song was a revelation for me. It is truly a beautiful song. I have been a big fan of Beck for 35 years and I have collected all of his work. But I have to say that this is my favorite song on this DVD. Beck's guitar work on this song was perfect - creative and tasteful at the same time. Imogene Heap and Beck created a real gem with this song.
Blanket with Beck | Reviewer: Bdg | 8/20/09
Blanket is the best of the guest appearance songs on Ronnie Scott's. I saw the DVD at Walmart and figured $10 for whatever Beck's doing now was a good deal. This is the best live performance I own. After watching the DVD several times, what really interests me about Blanket is how much respect Beck appears to have for Imogen Heap. He allows the song to remain hers and never competes with her vocals. It's only between them that he embellishes, for great effect. I can't imagine a better version of this song. It's a great collaboration between great artists.
Amazing, beautiful. | Reviewer: Joe Fucci | 5/4/09
The Jeff Beck dvd is so over the top you have to see and hear it to believe it, all of it is so outstanding, but I had never heard any of Imogen Heaps work before this and the combination of the band and her voice gave me goosebumps, what an amazing track, simply the most beautiful song I've haerd in a long long time, does anyone know who wrote this? is it her song?
This could be one of the best performances by any one! I was told about this DVD a week ago. How great it was. I went out and bought it blindly. Let me just say that I am glad that I am blind from time to time. This band, I mean Jeff Beck, ok, this group will never be over matched. They might be met, but never over matched. To hear Imogen Heap with them, is one of the best expirences that ANY ONE could ever encounter.
