In My Bed (Bugz in the Attic Vocal Mix)
Amy Winehouse
Got the Bug - The Bugz In The Attic Remixes Collection, 2004
Alright, I’m kinda pushing it with two Bugz-related posts in back-to-back months but I finally picked up this remix compilation on Friday and I’ve been playing this track all week.
I’m not familiar with Amy Winhouse past a few blog posts but the consensus seems to be that she’s the white, British Macy Gray. Obviously that’s a gross oversimplification but more importantly it’s not really a compliment. That said, her voice and this track really work.
I generally don’t pay much attention to lyrics but I kept catching a few funny phrases hear and there and I decided to look up the lyrics just now and Ms. Winehouse (and/or her songwriters) are gangster!
Here’s a sampling of choice phrases:
Oh, its you again, listen this isn’t a reunion
So sorry if I turn my head
Yours is a familiar face
But that don’t make your place safe
In my bed
Its something I know you cant do
Separate sex with emotion
I sleep alone, the sun comes up
Your still clinging to that notion
Now its not hard to understand
Why we just speak at night
The only time I hold your hand
Is to get the angle right
