Quotes

  • In the dark, I like to read his mind But I'm frightened of the things I might find.
  • When I tell him that Im falling in loveWhy does he say"Hush, hush, keep it down now. Voices carry"?
  • I try so hard not to get upsetBecause I know all the trouble Ill getOh, he tells me tears are something to hideAnd something to fearAnd I try so hard to keep it insideSo no one can hear.
  • He wants me,but only part of the time.He wants meif he can keep me in line.
  • I look in your eyes I realize what you've sold meis love in a vacuum. Love in a vacuum.
  • Living on silence,Living by the book.You get it to a scienceOf living on one good look.So put out all the firesAnd blow away the smoke.I'm getting pretty tiredOf living on hope.

Aimee Elizabeth Mann (born September 8, 1960) is an American singer-songwriter. She is noted for her sardonic and literate lyrics about dark subjects, often describing underdog characters. She has released ten albums as a solo artist.

Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and studied at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. In the 1980s, after playing with the Young Snakes and Ministry, she co-founded the new wave band 'Til Tuesday and wrote their top-ten single "Voices Carry" (1985). 'Til Tuesday released three albums and disbanded in 1990 when Mann left to pursue a solo career.
