BIOGRAPHY

Hannah was born in East London on May 28th.  Hannah has true spirit and natural character; she has gained much respect and admiration for her dedication and commitment to her career.  Whilst growing up, it was clear that Hannah was a natural comedic actress too.

Along with professional training and, more importantly good old-fashioned life experience, she has got to know herself and the human race generally, a lot better.

Hannah has a never-ending desire to learn and express her creativity; this enthusiasm and optimistic nature continues to drive her forward.  Having years of dance training in Tap & Streetjazz, also being a trained Pilates teacher lends itself to her body awareness and probably explains her boundless energy.

Since childhood Hannah has been a prolific writer, including stories, plays and poetry.  More recently she has written over a hundred song-lyrics, some of which are now recorded as songs (collaborations with Little Big Man from 2006 and previously with Mike Allison).  Her passion for writing also inspired a supernatural thriller novel whilst on a holiday in Lyme Regis, called Hywell Manor.

Hannah has a very powerful vocal range, which does occasionally upset neighbours.  She currently sings regularly in a professional top function band.  Her vocal training includes classical, West-End and pop/rock styles.  Hannah utilises her voice for the acting career too, with a clear aptitude for regional and foreign accents... (thanks to a talented tutor at university).

NOBODY BUT ME

(Speller/ Allison)

 

There’s nobody there

When the sun sets in the sky

There’s nobody here

To kiss goodnight

There’s no one inside my heart

Just in my dreams

Was it really meant to be

Nobody but me?

 

Sometimes

When you hold me in your arms

It keeps my body warm

Though there’s an empty heart

Don’t mind if it should be that way

Cause I believe in me

Then I know it wasn’t meant to be

Nobody but me

 

CHORUS

I’m gone ah I’m gone        See me now!

I won’t hang around

I will be every woman

I will be every man

I’m gone ah I’m gone        See me now!

I won’t hang around

I will be every woman        Touch me now!

I will be every man

 

Is somebody there

When the moon is in the sky?

Is somebody here

To kiss goodnight?

There’s no one inside my room

But the face staring from the moon

It wasn’t meant for you and me

Nobody but me

 

CHORUS X 2

 

 


I STILL DO IT

(Speller/ Allison)

 

I still tell you my fantasies

Even though it’s no good for me

And though I know it’s hurting me

I still do it, I still do

 

I sit beside you on the big setee

Pretend we’re only watching TV

And though I know you’re watching me

I keep quiet, mmmh baby I still do

 

CHORUS

Watchin’ me, watchin’ you

Some kind of fear takes over me

It’s like I’m here, but I shouldn’t be

I ought to tell you how I feel

But the words are lost, this isn’t real

And I still do it

 

When you asked me what I liked best

And I told you deep from my heart

I lied, just like all the rest

I couldn't hurt you, but I still do

 

The message reaches you in the end

When it’s been to the moon and back again

Finally I can learn not to pretend

But sometimes… baby I still do

 

Watchin’ you, watchin’ me

Some kind of fear takes over me

It’s like I’m here, but I shouldn’t be

I ought to tell you how I really feel

But the words are lost, this isn’t real

And I still do it

 

I still tell you my fantasies

Even though it’s no good for me

And though I know it’s hurting me

I still do it, I still do it, I still do it

 

Chorus x 2 to end

HERE COMES THE RAIN

(Speller/ Allison)

 

Here comes the rain

And though it’s only rain

It won’t be the same

‘Cos now it’s raining over me

 

Thought you should know

Never to let me go

And though you don’t seem to see

It’s raining over me

 

Bridge

Pushing myself deeper in

Pulling yourself out

Pushing my love deeper in

Pulling your heart out...

 

CHORUS

I should’ve listened to my head

Let myself fall for you instead

Please stop me!

Don’t you realise

It’s raining over me

 

(Bridge)

 

Tears, they don’t fall

Feeling kinda numb

Every time I look at you

The rain falls over me

 

Guess you must have known

You wanted to let me go

But all that I wanted

Was to hear you say it so

 

(Bridge)

 

Chorus

I should’ve listened to my head

Let myself fall for you instead

Please stop me!

Don’t you realise

It’s raining over me

 

(Bridge X2)

 

Here comes the rain

Coming right over me

And it won’t be the same

‘Cos there’s a rainbow I can see...


SECRET'S SAFE WITH ME

(Speller/ Allison)

(Hook)

Hush hush        keep your mouth shut

Hush hush        keep your mouth shut

 

Hush, don’t say a word

Quiet girl, or you might get hurt

Hush hush         keep your mouth shut

Hush hush         keep your mouth shut

Don’t want to break any promises

No no no no

Your secret's safe with me

 

Hush hush        keep your mouth shut

Hush hush        keep your mouth shut

You gave me something that I should keep

I was too bold, I took it all in

Your secret gave me life again

Oh oh oh oh

The secret's safe... in me

 

(Repeat hook)

Chorus

And so I run, while I still can

I broke your promise

The secret of a man

 

The words fell from my mouth

I had time - but I’ve run out

She tells me I’m in danger

Now the secret’s out

And so I run….

 

(Repeat hook)

Oh oh oh oh

Oh, there’s a knock at the front door

Look thru’ the spy hole, not safe anymore

I might have known she’d come for me

Oh oh oh oh

The secret's out......

 

Sleeping rough under the stars

I feel my life is fading fast

And she’s still out there to shoot me dead

Oh oh oh oh

If only I had kept the secret safe in my head...

 

Gotta keep it in tight

Getting to me every night

Shouldn’t really let you know

But I gotta tell you so

Chorus

Hush hush keep your mouth shut

Hush hush keep your mouth shut X 3


-----------------------------------------------------



NEVER GONNA


Never gonna understand your mind

Never gonna listen to your lies

Never gonna let my soul decline

See me grow more beautiful with time


Never gonna be your baby

Cos you’re so goddamn lazy

Never gonna listen… you’re crazy

Never gonna be with you…


DON’T NEED LOVE,
I don’t need love
I do not dream of you
Don’t need love, I don’t need love
And I don’t dream of you…


Never gonna know you well

Sometimes I don’t know myself

Never gonna kiss and tell

Why don’t u go to hell?

Go to hell


Never gonna notice me

Never gonna sweep me off my feet

Never say how lovely I am

I guess you’re just that kinda man


CHORUS


Never gonna see your smile fade
I know you fear the dream we made

You're a magic box of mystery

Throwing me off track - throwing me off track

Messing with my brain - crashing like a train

And then expect me to come back

CHORUS

Never gonna be a cold machine


--------------------------------------------------------------------


DO THEY CRY


A turning wheel
The way I feel
Was never real
Liberating me


A lonely night
A lonely night
A baby cries

Picture of a dream

bridge

You think I’m wrong

And I know I'm wrong...

Chorus:

Drown away
You’re going down again
The sound of rain Is on my face again

No time – to fly
No tears – do they cry
It’s beautiful for you and I


A turning wheel
The way I feel
Was never real
Liberating me

The sun is mine
The son is mine
Why do they cry?
Picture of a dream

Middle 8
 
Cos nothing seems to matter
He wouldn't wish the world away
Nothing ever seems to matter
When I look into his face........
 


Bridge

Chorus

HNS July 2006

BUBBLE SONG

 

Trapped in a bubble

Can you see thru?

She’s making holes

Oh just 4 u

 

Feeling vibrations

(musical bridge)

Uh oh

Ahhhhhhh

 

Chorus

My illusion isn’t moving me

Keep on telling her what I can see

Keep on telling me what I can be

She say that I ain’t listening

 

Breaking out my bubble

I grow a new skin

Inside looking out

Outside looking in

 

Changing her mind

Coil unwind

That is the way she plays her game

Happy to find

We get so high

That is the way we play the game

 

Bridge

Feeling vibrations…. Uh oh

Aahhhhh

 

Chorus

My illusion isn’t moving me

Keep on telling her what I can see

Keep on telling me what I can be

She say that I ain’t listening

Now I’m never going in again

I hear you say my name

Running from luck and losing my way

The weather girl says it looks like rain

 

Middle 8

The chords are tangled like her

She couldn’t be more right

You try not to think of her

You couldn’t be more right

(that is the way she plays her game)

 

Trapped in a bubble

Can you see through?

She’s making holes

Oh just for you

 

chorus

 

Feeling vibrations
