Siberia
Charlotte Hatherley Lyrics
Crisis all comes when you dance
In everything you do
Your lies are all spilling out
They're coming fast and loose
Nobody talks in black and white
Are there any straight answers anymore
And your emerald city, sitting so pretty
Over the opium sea
I'm bending over backwards
Into Siberian Khatru
Anyone of you know the way to get home
Hubris, honey you broke
My only golden rule
You never truly know somebody
Never know where they have been before
A leader, great powerful
You made a crisis unavoidable
And your emerald city, sitting so pretty
Over the opium sea
Hold on, we're in oblivion falling way down
I'm bending over backwards
Cling to the tether to the truth
Oh, all this tapestry.
My god, it's so unnecessary
All I really want is for it to be, oh
Is for it to be, oh, what a feeling
I'm gone in oblivion
Anyone of you know the way to get home?
Oh no, didn't you see
That it's all the same it doesn't matter what you are
Oh no, now you can see
That underneath it's not as good as what you thought
Oh no, didn't you see
That it's all the same, it doesn't matter what you are
Long way down
In oblivion
Bending over backwards
Oh no, nothing to show
Under it all it's not as good as what you thought
Way down, into the ground
Underneath for as far as you can see
Hold on, we're in oblivion falling way down
I'm bending over backwards
Cling to the tether to the truth
Oh, all this tapestry.
My god, it's so unnecessary
All I really want is for it to be, oh
Is for and to be, oh, what a feeling
But I'm gone in oblivion
Anyone of you know the way to get home
Hold on, in oblivion
Long way down
Bending over backwards
Anybody know the way to go to get me home?
Hold on, in oblivion
Long way down
Bending over backwards
Anybody know the way to go to get me home
From Siberia

Charlotte Hatherley (born 20 June 1979, London, England) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. She is also known as the former guitarist and backing vocalist in the rock band Ash. Currently she's performing under the alias Sylver Tongue.
Before her days in Ash, Hatherley was playing in the obscure punk rock band, Nightnurse, from the age of 16. They received moderate success, and Ash frontman Tim Wheeler was present at one of their gigs. Read Full BioCharlotte Hatherley (born 20 June 1979, London, England) is an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. She is also known as the former guitarist and backing vocalist in the rock band Ash. Currently she's performing under the alias Sylver Tongue.
Before her days in Ash, Hatherley was playing in the obscure punk rock band, Nightnurse, from the age of 16. They received moderate success, and Ash frontman Tim Wheeler was present at one of their gigs. She was later recruited as the fourth and final member. Her first album with the group was 1998s Nu Clear Sounds where she provided lead guitar for all tracks and also wrote the song WildSurf which appears on the album.
Apart from this, Hatherley mainly contributed to Ash with soulful guitar and some backing vocals, co-writing the odd song with Wheeler. The title track from Hatherley's first solo album, Grey Will Fade had previously been featured as a B-side to one of Ash's singles. The rest of the band had liked the song, yet felt it wasn't consistent with Ash's sound, and supported Hatherley when she decided to record her own album. This debut album, relased in 2004, has more than proved her songwriting ability. The three singles, Bastardo, Kim Wilde and Summer all received high praise from critics, as well as the album itself.
The videos to the tracks Bastardo and Summer were directed by her ex-boyfriend, Edgar Wright, who is best known as the director of the film "Shaun Of The Dead", which incidentally featured two tracks from Ash's fourth album proper Meltdown, the title track and Orpheus.
On January 20th 2006, she announced her departure from Ash, to pursue her solo career further.
Her first material since her departure from Ash came in the form of the Behave EP which featured tracks from her second album and was released on December 18 2006 on two formats - 7" vinyl and digital download. The EP featured the title track Behave as well as other tracks from her second album including Cousteau and Mr Ed.
Her second album, The Deep Blue, was released in March 2007 on her own label Little Sister Records which was founded by Charlotte together with her manager Ann-Marie Shields. Between this and the release of her 2009 third solo effort, New Worlds, she played with Bat for Lashes as a touring guitarist, and has played bass with Client since December 2007.

Charlotte is virtually unknown here in the US. I found her on youtube after viewing Ash's cover of Only in Dreams by Weezer. Totally fell in love with her. My favorite musical discovery of the year. I ordered both her discs and am patiently waiting for her next one! I think she's genius and just love everything about her and her music.

This one had to grow on me but could be my favorite of hers now.
