Anna Calvi - Eliza Lyrics






The lonely won't hold me for good
Peaceful is gleaming she stood
To see her, to be her, to change
As if like a kiss we're the same
So hold me up, hold me up
If only I could be you

Eliza
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza

My sister, my pistol below
If you could know all that I know
I'm falling, no warning, no way
Tomorrow, tomorrow's too late
So hold me up, hold me up
I know that I could be you

Eliza
Eliza
Eliza
Eliza

So priceless and godless I wait
To leave this soul behind
Untangle the jangle of bells
They ring my fear through the night

    this sucks!

    I'm looking forward to much more music from Anna Calvi. She's a true artist as she's true to the music. Her songs are both lyrically and musically charged emotionally, and she knows how to use this effectively. While she and her band can create a bombast of sound, at the same time they understand that sometimes less is more and serves as an excellent counterpoint. Anna is just brilliant. We should all pray she continues to maintain such a high standard, but I'd say she'll improve upon that.

    WENISIMOOOO

  23. n.... ....

    is it a competitive run or a challenge to get mad? In any case, joke apart, video film simply divine- beautiful voice strange, full, sweet and more. As well, welcome to a music fucking different this time! An electric shock, especially the guitar solo! Great Art performance Ms CALVI. Bewildering really!

  24. g.... p....

    this isn't my kind of music, at least not at this point in my listening life but this woman is unbelievable

  25. o.... ....

    This ain't no part of nothin', sorrry...

  26. J.... B....

    The lonely won’t hold me for good

  27. b.... ....

    Rubbish video & for me, the weakest track on the album, sounds like it was mixed by our drummer. However, I think Anna is a major talent & a beautiful, original guitarist & songwriter. The rest of the album is brill.

    b.... ....

    Sounds like your drummer, unlike you, knows what he's doing/talking about.

  28. R.... C....

    Such a powerful voice. Great song. Greater new album.

  29. R.... L....

    amazing unique voice

  30. N.... ....

    I totally agree...both women with music by Ennio Morricone...THAT is the big thing to take into account: She's the composer too...so we have three masters in the same person! V I V A A N N A C A L V I !!!

  31. E.... B....

    I feel so special being an Eliza... It's a privilege to be named the same as her song title <3

  32. k.... a....

    such a talented and gorgeous women! definitly underrated

  33. P.... R....

    Great video, great voice, great song.

  34. O.... W....

    i beg to differ. Check out Nadine Shah and let us know

  35. T.... L....

    I'm right with you there. I saw her two years ago and was blown away. It was the best gig I've been to for twenty years. She just politely said thank you at the end of a song and played the next one, which is exactly what I wanted. If I wanted audience interaction I'd have gone to see a stand up comedian.
    And from everything I've seen she seems utterly charming, even a little shy. Up her own arse! Bollocks.

  36. C.... B....

    check out, little green cars, my love took me down to the river to silence me, GREAT song and excellent lyrics :)

  37. C.... B....

    probably the best female singer out there now, much respect and love from ireland

  38. P.... ....

    Good song. Beautiful lady.

  39. w.... ....

    Great video n tune - Think this girls so talented.
    Respect to Anna Calvi and other new artists representing the UK.

    Che gran Figa!

  41. J.... S....

    Chat to the audience? Chat to the fucking audience? Have a bit of fun? This is not Chas and Dave. This is passionate music, high end talent/art/beauty, style and poise and you want a little chat? Look elsewhere.

  42. a.... r....

    i do love her sound but the girl is so up her own arse when it comes the image side of it.saw her live a couple of years ago and she was so uptight and boring. that girl needs to start having a bit of fun at gigs and try chatting to the audience otherwise she will end up like the vacant Lana Del Rey and i think she is so much better and more taltented than that contrived bubble gum queen.

  43. E.... O....

    Well here I am

  44. F.... B....

    she's annoying

  45. T.... ....

    ahahaha, brilliant!

  46. A.... ....

    Excellent, seems like the video evokes the sense of the song. And Anna beautiful as always

  47. C.... ....

    okay, well my names Eliza..And this freaked me out.

  48. G.... S....

    COME TO BRAZIL

  49. E.... ....

    I feel the vocals are full of passion and so it the change in pace when she plays that lick on guitar. I can respect that you're still going to give the album a chance though. I'm hoping for some solo's like the one she adds to the live version of Love Won't Be Leaving.

  50. M.... S....

    I think you're confusing her with someone else. Two years ago she was still living at home with her parents when she wasn't on the road.

  51. g.... ....

    Awsome song and great video! Can't wait to hear the album (3

  52. f.... ....

    christian science monitor

  53. L.... L....

    So. The longer she thinks about Eliza, the wetter she gets?

  54. f.... ....

    she has a husband and 3 kids

  55. C.... G....

    where did u read that?

  56. D.... B....

    I love it, this is dope

  57. a.... ....

    Is she lesbian?

  58. J.... ....

    love the song but terrible video

  59. m.... ....

    You put her in a category of wanting her to sound like PJ Harvey, then are disappointed when she doesn't? I think she has only stated at about every possible chance that they shouldn't be compared and the only reason people do so is because they are female guitarists. You have only yourself to be disappointed with for making that lazy comparison in the first place.

  60. d.... u....

    Oh, I'm very open minded. A look through my vids will show you that.

  61. d.... u....

    I'll give the album a day in court when it's released. It'll have to live up to a high standard, though, after epic releases from Chelsea Wolfe and Nadine Shah. I had previously put Anna in a "new PJ Harvey" category. (Not that we need one, the old one is doing just fine, but you get my drift) Starting to think that was wishful thinking.

  62. d.... u....

    Therein lies the rub. I like the dark edge to the first album and I definitely don't feel passion in this. Feels kinda hollow. I'll still listen to the album, maybe it's a grower...we'll see.

  63. a.... ....

    so real

  64. F.... ....

    This is so beautiful, can't stop watching this video. Pure beauty

  65. A.... C....

    3:15 the earth stood still...

  66. A.... ....

    Oh, that bit I saw.

  67. C.... S....

    I fell in love again.

  68. d.... n....

    that voice,that tune,even the guitar solo.

  69. f.... ....

    It's fast, but she kisses the girl on the neck.

  70. E.... D....

    Well, obviously i like this.

  71. A.... ....

    What's so special about that, "knifre" through belly button?

  72. E.... ....

    At first I thought that I didn't much care for this track, but I feel like I hear progress from the first album to this. After listing to her debut for so long I found myself thinking that I wanted something more upbeat from her and I think she managed to add a pop-like more broad appealing sound in the beginning of this track and then she adds that guitar part in the middle and all the intensity and passion is still there. Listening to it now I think this is one of her best tracks

  73. E.... ....

    Too much <_<

  74. E.... ....

    I think if she were a bit more scantly clad I might agree with this comment. And in my dreams Anna's always more of the wholesome mistress type who never shows her body she just teases and teases... <_<

  75. S.... A....

    :) so good¡¡

    A very 80's video.

  79. V.... D....

    Love it!

  80. T.... W....

    Beautiful song & video. Anna has such a look of Jessica Chastain about her lately!

  81. d.... u....

    Big disappointment. Oh well, I have the Nadine Shah album to obsess over, and new Chelsea Wolfe on Monday...

  82. L.... ....

    I agree with you!

  83. f.... ....

    OMG freeze frame 2:09. You're welcum ^.^

  84. m.... ....

    Me encanta !!!

  85. B.... J....

    always great

  86. f.... ....

    Well.. It just turned into a softcore porn at the end. I'm sure Anna running in slow motion, dripping in water is a dream that Anna fans might've had at least once.

  87. d.... u....

    Feels a bit like a rejected track from the first album, if I'm honest.

  88. G.... G....

    annaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa calviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  89. B.... K....

    Its good to listen her again on this new track.
