Imogen Heap - First Train Home (letra)

I've got to get on it... I've got to get on it... I've got to get on it... Bodies disengage our mouths are fleshing over... is this an echo game? irises retreat into ovals of white...

The urge to feel your face, in blood, rushing to paint my handprint
A Frisbee one by one; your vinyl on lamanent, i'm desperate for some kind of contact, first train home, I've got to get on it, first train home, I've got to get on it, first train home, I've got to get on it, to Catch, to catch, catch-catch, catch, first train home, I've got to get on it, first train home, I've got to get on it, first train home, I've got to get on it, first Train home...

Temporal deadzone where clocks are barely breathing, yet no one cares to notice for all the yammering on, i clam up to hold it together, i want to play-do waveforms in the hideaway, i want to get on with getting on with things, i want to run in fields, paint the kitchen, and love someone
and I can't do any of that here, can I...

First train home, I've got to get on it
First train home, I've got to get on it
First train home, I've got to get on it... first train home

So what? You've had one too many
So what? I'm not that much fun to be with
So what? You've got a silly hat on
So what? I didn't want to come here, anyway

What matters you, doesn't matter, matter to me
What matters to me, doesn't matter, matter to you
What matters to you, doesn't matter, matter to them
What matters to them, doesn't change anything

Got to get on it
First train home
Got to get on it
First train home

First train home, I've got to get on it
(I've got to get on it)
To catch, to catch, catch-catch, catch
(First train home)
First train home, I've got to get on it
First train home
(First train home)
Got to, Got to, Got to, Got to
Get, Get, Get, Get
Out, Out, Out, Out
Now, Now, Now, Now

Este tema es el primero en el 3er disco de Imogen Heap titulado “Ellipse”, casualmente también viene a ser su primer sencillo. Segun Imogen Heap la canción se trata de llegar a casa lo más rápido posible, comenta que en el transcurso de la grabación del disco, también se encontraba mudándose a su nueva casa e instalando su estudio (donde precisamente grabaría el disco) y entre tanto caos había perdido contacto con sus amigos, los cuales la invitaron a un festival de música, al llegar allá, Imogen se dio cuenta que lo que en realidad quería era seguir trabajando en su casa y su estudio para terminar su disco, lo cual la lleno de desesperación por volver a casa. Y así salió, un beat up-tempo, muy electro, muy a lo Imogen, jugando con diferentes melodías de su voz.
