Making plans for a meeting to forget
Resit, revise, retake the test.
Try a bit harder to make a mess,
Get more time off to take a rest.
You know you’re my 2nd favourite
Could move you up if you prove your new trick
Hasn’t got to be anything special,
So long as I can buy it on record baby.
(But I wanna know)
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
How can we 2, make it a 3,
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
I don’t know why and I don’t know when,
Can it be me or should it be them?
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
Not thinking, words and actions have
No meaning, taking course without
No feeling, but there will never be
A better way…
Still speaking?
Could be another language I’m hearing
Cos you’re going on, without breathing
Take a breath, and get some air.
(But I wanna know)
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
How can we 2 make it a 3,
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
I don’t know why and I don’t know when,
Can it be me or should it be them?
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
(Oh oh oh ooh) Coulda, shoulda, been me,
(Oh oh oh ooh) Gotta gotta be me yeah
(Oh oh oh ooh) Coulda, shoulda, been me,
(Oh oh oh ooh) Gotta gotta be me yeah
(I can’t believe) Wish it coulda been me (Oh oh oh ooh oh)
Just like a Sunday, time moves so slow.
Can’t even getaway, a risk, a kiss, miss the show
To take a leaf from your book
Means catching a baited hook
To catch a poke in the dark
Means risking your bleeding heart.
(But I wanna know)
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
How can we 2 make it a 3,
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
I don’t know why and I don’t know when,
Can it be me or should it be them?
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
How can we 2 make it a 3,
Can it be me, oh can it be me?
I don’t know why and I don’t know when,
Can it be me or should it be them?
Who is the what and what is the he?
Can it be me, oh can it be me?

from Thinkin' Bout You,
released December 3, 2007
written by J. Achonu/ R. Henry. Produced by Rob Henry for Euphonic Productions.
East London chanteuse and songwriter Neech grew up with the sounds of reggae, hi-life and soul divas at home, indie music at
school and hip hop in clubs, combined all with an abstract blend of old-school soul, blues and electronica to create her own style.
The ensuing sound invites you into darker territories and tells of intimate secrets with a warmth and originality that’s impossible to ignore....more
