Imogen Heap — Whatever Live iTunes Festival: London 2007

[Intro] "So this one's about that guy again that, that guy... and it's called 'Whatever'. Yes, yes. It's 'cause, yeah, he's celibate, whatever and that kind of thing. And he kept saying 'whatever' as well. It's the first time 'cause I'd- I went to- he was American. He was from Detroit. Great. If I could have a boyfriend in like somewhere nice like Alaska, somewhere, but it's like Flint, Michigan, which is like one of the most violent areas in the States. No, it's not. So, anyway, this is called 'Whatever' because it really, it was a really long distance relationship and (a) we didn't have any sex because he was celibate and I could never really get him on the phone and it was just like not very good, really. So I stuck it out for a year and then I was like 'eh'. So this is, um, this is 'Whatever'." [False Start] Oh you, you come to me Oh, so perfectly, oh yeah So perfectly made And you're all that you are And you're... "Hello? Is there..? Is there any sound? Wha-? Did it just suddenly go off? Oh, yippidy-skippidy-do." [Piano Improvisation] [Intro] "Is it fixed yet? Okay, tell you what. Should we? What could we do? Hello. It's crashed again. It's that thing that it did earlier that actually no-one knew it was doing earlier and... I have to talk out really loud 'cause... can you hear me? Can you hear me through that? I feel... it is.. maybe? I love it, 'cause usually it's me up here going - oh my god! Usually it's me up here going 'Why the hell isn't it working? What's going on?' 'cause I've usually got like a million samplers trying to talk to each other so I like that it's not me. So are we ready yet? Yeah? He's gonna give it a check on his walkie-talkie. We're gonna give it a go. What? Damn right... Right, so here we go, this is 'Whatever'." [Verse 1] Oh you, you come to me Oh, so perfectly, oh yeah So perfectly made And you're all that you are And you're all that you said You're so exquisitely bred Oh, baby, what more can I say? Oh, yeah, yeah [Chorus] So, hey-no I guess it's alright Oh, no-no I guess it's alright, whatever Mmm, no-no I guess it's alright Hey, no-no I guess it's alright [Verse 2] And I, I hate ya for Oh, for letting me fall for you Just like a fool And now I'm all psyching out, yeah Mmm 'cause all we're about Is this ugly phone and it's all I have To look forward to, yeah [Chorus] Oh, no-no I guess it's alright, yeah Hey, no-no I guess it's alright, whatever No, no-no I guess it's alright Hey, no-no I guess it's alright [Bridge] Dreaming, of you lying in my bed Just like how we were just days before Oh, just leave me, just get out of my head 'Cause I can't take this torture any more No, no, anymore Anymore, no, no [Breakdown] Whatever Whatever Whatever Whatever [Interlude] You're so far away Why are you so far away? You're so far away Why are you so far away from me? [Chorus] Hey, no-no I guess it's alright Hey, no-no I guess it's alright, whatever Oh, no-no I guess it's alright Hey, no-no I guess it's alright, whatever [Chorus] Oh, no-no I guess it's alright Oh, no-no I guess it's alright, whatever Oh, no-no I guess it's alright Oh, no-no I guess it's alright, whatever
