Biography

Bat For Lashes is a solo project of [a=Natasha Khan], born 25 October 1979, a British singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, currently based in Los Angeles. Born to a Pakistani father, part of the eminent family of squash-playing Khans, and an English mother, her early childhood was spent travelling the world following her father who trained the Pakistani squash team, summers in Pakistan, and the rest of the time in Hertfordshire. She had a strict religious upbringing until her parents separated when she was 11 years old. Khan graduated in film and music, whilst at university her experimental work was influenced by artists such as [a=Steve Reich] and [a=Susan Hiller], and she produced multi-media work centred on sound installations, animations and performance. She went on to work as a nursery school teacher, and it was during this period that she began writing the material for her first album. Bat For Lashes' music has been likened to the work of [a=Björk], [a=Cat Power], [a=Tori Amos], and especially [a=Kate Bush]. The debut single, "The Wizard", was released digitally through label Drowned In Sound and on 7-inch through Khan's own imprint, She Bear Records.

LYRICS

I kissed the road, I kissed the road
And I came home to the love you gave
And as I walked through my door I saw the stars spelled out: saved
And all the gardens bloomed a flower for each day I was away
Now I'm saved
Baby, saved

And I was alive
And I was alive
And I was alive
And I was alive

You and me, we're more than on the run
Busting at the heavens like the horses of the sun
You and me, we're more than on the run
Busting at the heavens like the horses of the sun

I kissed the road, I kissed the road
And I came home to the love you gave
And as I walked through my door I saw the stars spelled out: saved
And all the gardens bloomed a flower for each day I was away

Now I'm saved
Baby, saved

And I was alive
And I was alive
And I was alive
And I was alive

You and me, we're more than on the run
Busting at the heavens like the horses of the sun
You and me, we're more than on the run
Busting at the heavens like the horses of the sun

You and me, we're more than on the run
Busting at the heavens like the horses of the sun
You and me, we're more than on the run
Busting at the heavens like the horses of the sun
