Fiona Apple - Criminal Video

I've been a bad, bad girl

I've been careless with a delicate man

And its a sad, sad world

When a girl will break a boy

Just because she can

Don't you tell me to deny it

I've done wrong

And I want to suffer for my sins

I've come to you 'cause I need

Guidance to be true

And I just don't know where I can begin



What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love



Heaven help me for the way I am

Save me from these evil deeds

Before I get them done

I know tomorrow brings

The consequence at hand

But I keep livin' this day

Like the next will never come



Oh, help me

But don't tell me to deny it

I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies

'Till I'm good enough for him

I got a lot to lose, and I'm bettin' high

So I'm beggin' you:



Before it ends, just tell me where to begin



What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love



Let me know the way

Before there's hell to pay

Give me room to lay the law and let me go

I've got to make a play

To make my lover stay

So what would an angel say?

The devil wants to know



What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to redeemed

To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love



What I need is a good defense

'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal

And I need to redeemed

To the one I've sinned against



Because he's all I ever knew of love

Fiona Apple

1996

Directed by Mark Romanek



Continuing with my lil Fiona celebration, the post for today is probably Fiona's best known video "Criminal"

directed by Mark Romanek, it brought Fiona not only aclaim but lots of controversy for its depiction of what many people compared to 70s like porn,

to all of them I say F.U.

the video looks great and Fiona looks a-mazing, and is also the song that made Fiona a Grammy Award winner in 1998 for Best Female Rock Performance,

Thank U

hahahaha

A Little of What You Fancy launch party

This evening I went along to the launch of Elaine Chalmers and Lola Coone's restaurant.  Now known as "My new local" on Kingsland Road.  I've always been a huge fan of Elaine's cooking.  I used to get breakfast, lunch and sometimes even take home my dinner from her previous restaurants, and I have eaten many times in them all.
I was late as per usual, so I saw the remnants of some rather

I Thought It Was A Bird, But It Was Just A Paper Bag

I was staring at the sky, just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on, or something like that
I was having a sweet fix of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew, was a hopeless to be had
But then the dove of hope began it's downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances
Were approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
-I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine,
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope
I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good, don't feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void,' - he said
"It's all in your head,' and I said, "So's everything' -
But he didn't get it - I thought he was a man
But he was just a little boy
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
-Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
'cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold
-Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Fiona Apple
Paper Bag
WHEN THE PAWN...
1999
Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson

Continuing with my Fiona Apple celebration I'm posting this video for the song
'Paper Bag', because not only is one of my favorite songs, is also one of my favorite videos.
A while ago I listened to an interview Fiona did exclusively for Itunes where she talked about how the story and title for this song is very literal,
because one day she was in a car with her dad, saw a plastic bag and thought it was a bird, of course being a vegan when she wrote the song she changed it to paper,
hahahahaha

My next stop of the night was Vision On at The Drop, a cool little venue which my friend Nathan Wilkins promotes just off Kingsland High Street.
Vision On is a monthly evening of art organised and hosted by Corinne Drewery who many of you will
