Echobelly are a British/Swedish indie band. They were brought to prominence after much praise by singer Morrissey who asked them to be the opening act on his tour. Singer Sonya's vocal style has also been compared to Morrissey's. They briefly peaked during the Britpop craze of the mid-1990s. Looking back over the history of popular music it's often the case that the big records come in from the peripheries.

Drive Myself Distracted Lyrics

Echobelly

Like an ordinary, like an ordinary thought
That drifts into a naked eye
How extraordinary, things are happening
Cant stop myself, Im sinking into broken ice
Ive a head that burns
Can I hold my head up
Theres a storm around me
Love its violence, a fever rush
A push, a shove inside
Do I wanna do what I do
I wanna loosen the noose
And take a tumble as I roll the dice
Ive a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, because I can
And if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way I am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
Thats just because I can
Like a tidal wave, Im coming close
To knowing what I am
Are you turning corners, are you coming closer
Close enough to take you for a ride
Do you ever do what you fear
You ever lived for the thrill
Enough to fill you up inside
Ive a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, bacause I can
And if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way I am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
Thats just because I can
Like a tidal wave, Im coming close
To knowing what I am
