SUGABABES: WHEN THE RAIN COMES
SIOBHAN MUTYA KEISHA
THREE Sugababes brit lánycsoport harmadik stúdióalbuma, amelyet az Island Records adott ki 2003. október 27-én az Egyesült Királyságban. Négy kislemezt generált, amelyek a világ különböző részein szerepeltek; az első, "Hole in the Head" lett a csoport harmadik Egyesült Királyságbeli első kislemeze. A Sugababes három tagja egy-egy "önálló" dalt vett fel az albumra - "Whatever Makes You Happy" (Keisha Buchanan), "Sometimes" (Heidi Range) és "Maya" (Mutya Buena). Three a brit albumlistán a harmadik helyen debütáltak.
HÁTTÉR
Miután kiadta a sikeres Shape, az Angels with Dirty Faces (2002) negyedik és egyben utolsó kislemezét, a csoport bejelentette, hogy visszamentek a stúdióba, hogy elkezdjék dolgozni a következő albumot olyan producerekkel, akikkel együtt dolgoztak. előző album, mint Jony Rockstar és Xenomania. Amerikába mentek együtt dolgozni olyan producerekkel, mint Linda Perry és Diane Warren, akik a "Too Lost in You" című balladát írták. Céljuk az volt, hogy népszerűsítsék az új albumot Amerikában. A lányok közösen írták és rögzítették saját számaikat az új albumon - Keisha „Whatever Makes You Happy”, Heidi „Sometimes” és Mutya „Maya” című dal, egy dal a váratlanul meghalt nővéréről. A Sugababes később bejelentette a "Hole in the Head" vezető kislemezt és megjelenési dátumát, október 13-át. Az egyesült királyságbeli kiadás egy különkiadás volt, két extra számmal, a "Twisted" és a "Buster" címmel. Kezdetben az Egyesült Királyságban a Woolworths által kínált digitális letöltési verzió véletlenül tartalmazta a "Whatever Makes You Happy" korábbi demó verzióját, de a hibát gyorsan kijavították.
KERESKEDELMI TELJESÍTMÉNY
Three az Egyesült Királyság albumlistájának harmadik helyén debütáltak, az első héten 52 905 példányt adtak el. Az első kislemez, a "Hole in the Head", a csoport harmadik első számú kislemeze volt az Egyesült Királyságban, és Dániában is az első helyre került. Írországban és Norvégiában elérte a második helyet, Ausztráliában pedig a negyven legjobbat. A második kislemez, a "Too Lost in You" eljutott az első tízbe Nagy-Britanniában és Norvégiában, az első negyvenbe pedig Ausztráliában. A harmadik kislemez, az "In the Middle" az Egyesült Királyságban a legjobb tíz, Írországban a húsz, Európában és Ausztráliában pedig a negyven legjobb lett. A negyedik kislemez, a "Caught in a Moment" szintén az első tízbe került az Egyesült Királyságban.
2004-ben a "Hole in the Head" szolgáltatást rádiózta az Egyesült Államokban, és a poprádió negyven legjobb slágere lett. A kis mérsékelt sikert követően a Three-nek az Egyesült Államokban kellett megjelennie egy megváltozott számmal, amely a csoport előző albumának, az Angels with Dirty Faces (2002) kislemezét tartalmazza. A kiadást később törölték, amikor a "Too Lost in You" második kislemez semmilyen hatást nem okozott. Az Egyesült Királyságban az albumot a BPI kétszer Platinum minősítéssel igazolja. Az album Platinum Europe Award-ot is kapott az IFPI-től az egymillió példányt meghaladó európai értékesítések elismeréseként.
KRITIKA
Three pozitív kritikát kaptak a kritikusoktól, akik dicsérték az album kísérleti új urban és hip hop hangjait. Alan Braidwood (BBC) a Three-nek pozitív kritikát adott, kijelentve, hogy az album a Angels with Dirty Faces élén áll, és friss és izgalmas albumnak nevezi. Dicsérte az album új hangzását is. Az AllMusic munkatársa, Ross Hoffman az albumot "hangulatos, R&B-re ragasztott táncpopnak, friss hangzású, de hozzáférhető produkciókkal, valamint kibővített stílustartományú, nagy fülledt balladák egészséges foltozásával" jellemezte.

HOLE IN THE HEAD
Seven hours since you went away
Eleven coffees, Rickki Lake on play
But late at night when I'm feeling blue
I'd sell my ass before I think of you
Seven hours since you closed the door
Started a diet, got a manicure
Erased your number from my telephone
And if you call me I won't be at home
He said why d'you cry for the guy say goodbye (runaway)
Why d'you cry for the guy say goodbye (I said ok, 'cos)
Oh, boy d'you miss me like a hole in the head
Because I do boy, and it's cool boy
And oh, bet you never thought I'd get out of bed
Because of you boy, such a fool boy
Eleven hours on a brand new day
I'm getting ready to go out and play
It's late at night, I'm caught in a groove
I'd kiss my ass before I'm feeling blue
Seven hours, what you calling for
A bunch of flowers and I slam the door
You're in my face, sorry what's your name
Takes more than begging to reverse my brain, 'cos

Crazy shit not feeling this can't deal, I quit no more, no more
I'm through with it not having it this
Crazy shit not feeling it can't deal with it no more of it no more, no more
Breaking off the bun, a brand new day has just begun
Just because you made me go "oh", doesn't mean I'll put up with you
Don't you dare turn back, can't u see I wont take that?
I ain't crying not over you, better for your head up like I told you
He said why d'you cry for the guy say goodbye (runaway)
Why d'you cry for the guy say goodbye (I said ok, 'cos)
Oh, boy d'you miss me like a hole in the head

Runaway, I said ok, 'cos, runaway, I said ok, 'cos

CAUGHT IN A MOMENT
Your stare swallows me and I can hardly breathe
I feel it's dangerous, could be deadly
Somehow I'm willing to do the things you want
Take me in your arms spoon-feed my heart and
Drip by drip I'll take it all, slip by slip I guess that it's
Make or break boy here and now
We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go, I am falling deeper, losing my control
Involved in a feeling
Like the blink of a eye, and the silence it belongs to you and I
Broke through barriers and passed a state of mind
I'm not scared no more it feels divine
So take me in and catch me when I fall
I'm waiting on the edge uncut my soul
Snip by snip I'm oozing it, bit by bit I'm taking it
Step by step boy here and now
We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go, I am falling deeper, losing my control
Involved in a feeling
Like the blink of a eye, and the silence it belongs to you and I
Secretly I let it slip, emotional I fall through it all I know I'm losing my control
I'm down your way too far, and there's no turning back
And now I'm shedding all my fears I know, I know
We're caught in a moment
And I won't let it go, I am falling deeper, losing my control (let it go my control)
Involved in a feeling (involved in a feeling)
Like the blink of a eye, and the silence it belongs to you and I (eye I)
SITUATION'S HEAVY
Making decisions about my life
It's up to me and I start to try, I can't keep running away
Trust my instincts right or wrong
Refusing help try to be strong, I'll fight this one today
Here's my point of view wouldn't wanna offend you
Wanna do the best to prove push your face ain't gonna lose
Deep and twisted but I refuse don't want advice but help to choose
I'll just walk these tracks alone, use it as a stepping stone
Trying to face it all alone had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see the situation's heavy, heavy
How am I supposed to know
Where I want my life to go, if you always hold the plan
And maybe I will learn to lead
It will be my own mistakes, that I can say that's who I am
Here's my point of view wouldn't wanna offend you
Wanna do the best to prove push your face ain't gonna lose
Deep and twisted but I refuse don't want advice but help to choose
I'll just walk these tracks alone use it as a stepping stone
Trying to face it all alone had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see the situation's heavy, heavy
Here's my point of view wouldn't wanna offend you
Wanna do the best to prove push your face ain't gonna lose
Deep and twisted but I refuse don't want advice but help to choose
I'll just walk these tracks alone, use it as a stepping stone
Trying to face it all alone had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see the situation's heavy, heavy
Trying to face it all alone had to find my own way home
No matter how hard it may be the situation's heavy
I'm not growing old before my time even when there's warning signs
That consequently I can see the situation's heavy, heavy
MILLION DIFFERENT WAYS
Every time I go down your street
I pray we'll meet, I look around and nothing's changed
But all this time has separated us
Press rewind and stop the tape
Let's play it from the start
And pause before we part, we'll lay it down again
So whatever you wanna do, and whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do, and whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you) to love me (to love me) Dadadadada
And now we're face to face
We can't find words to communicate
We can't go on hiding there's something wrong
Press rewind and stop the tape
Replay it from the past
Confusing what we had, can't try it out again
So whatever you wanna do, and whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do, and whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you) to love me (to love me)
Nobody's ever come close to us confident this time we might pull through
But the tape is distorting the tune I can't hear you
So whatever you wanna do, and whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
So whatever you wanna do, and whatever you're gonna say
From the minute you find that you know that, there's a million different ways
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you)
To love me (to love me) to love you (to love you) to love me (to love me)
TWISTED
My personality is quite rude
Only to the point where I’m on girly dues
It’s so hard just being me
Meople asking questions maybe they can’t see
‘Cos I’ve got my life controlled how ‘bout you deal with yours
Don’t talk what you don’t know you’re in the back, I’m doing what I know
Me myself I’m twisted, you won’t know you missed it
And its ok if I’m a little bit crazy am I a little bit insane well maybe
And it’s just a little something but I’d rather be me than nothing
And it’s ok if I’m a little bit crazy it doesn’t mean I can’t be a lady
Now I’m the kind of girl who knows her biz
Flirtatious in a way but it depends on how I feel
Still I keep it classy, stay with a guy that’s real
Cos if he ain’t supporting then he’s not the real deal, check it
I’m forever getting misunderstood always been a leader not a puppet, it’s good
Before the music game there was me and that’s it
I’ve never been the one to fight but I won’t take it
Me myself I’m twisted, you won’t know you missed it
And its ok if I’m a little bit crazy am I a little bit insane well maybe
And it’s just a little something but I’d rather be me than nothing
And it’s ok if I’m a little bit crazy it doesn’t mean I can’t be a lady
I’m not the type to say just get out my face
‘Cos the girl that you think you see, sometimes needs a little space to breathe
Please, its not OK, to invade my space
‘Cos the smile that you see on show, underneath it all I need some time to grow
Me myself I’m twisted, you won’t know you missed it
And its ok if I’m a little bit crazy am I a little bit insane well maybe
And it’s just a little something but I’d rather be me than nothing
And it’s ok if I’m a little bit crazy it doesn’t mean I can’t be a lady
WE COULD HAVE IT ALL
Slow day, might rain I couldn't hear the weather man
Tight fit don't sit even when you loosen it
Your pace, no race you kind of just to get into it
Was it cause'we never sampled the flavouring?
Someday baby we could have it all
(you on me,me on you,smoking till' we both turn blue)
A steady speed and we could we have it all
(me on you, you on me your kind of boring me to sleep)
But we keep on falling over everything when you and me we could have it all
You're street smart with a big heart you look like your having it
Talk fast, words last when you look like your diggin' it
But i don't subscribe to the state that we're living it
Was it cause' we we couldn't handle the flavouring
Someday baby we could have it all
(you on me,me on you,smoking till' we both turn blue)
A steady speed and we could we have it all
(me on you, you on me your kind of boring me to sleep)
But we keep on falling over everything when you and me we could have it all

You know we're gonna make it through this change
We're sitting tight as a tourniquet, beliving we could have it all someday
Someday baby we could have it all
(you on me,me on you,smoking till' we both turn blue)
A steady speed and we could we have it all
(me on you, you on me your kind of boring me to sleep)
But we keep on falling over everything when you and me we could have it all

But baby don't you know that I know that you like it like that
BUSTER
Yeah, oh, yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh
I'm standing in the club, doing my own thing
When you thought you would approach me
Saying things that you shouldn't be
I'm not your average girl you can't put your hands on this
So I move to my right stay out my sight oh don't trip
So what's that scratching around here cos I feel a messy atmosphere
You never gonna get my love is that clear? (oh yeah)
You can't creep up to me fool I'm too focused to lose my cool
See you from a mile away, oh
Buster trying to get his hands on me spinning a line to get me in a taxi
Not that easy can't you understand (NO!) you ain't getting a thing (NO!)
Buster trying to some dirty trying to simulate a fantasy
Not that easy can't you understand (NO!) I'll repeat it again (NO!)
A negative response is all that you're gonna get
But now I'm too turned off you ain't gonna flip my switch
Cos I'm not your average girl I'm not gonna take your game
So I move to the left shadow my step ain't got no shame
So what's that scratching around here cos I feel a messy atmosphere
Never gonna get my love is that clear? (oh)
You can't creep up to me fool I'm too focused to lose my cool
See you from a mile away, oh
Buster trying to get his hands on me spinning a line to get me in a taxi
Not that easy can't you understand (NO!) you ain't getting a thing (NO!)
Buster trying to some dirty trying to simulate a fantasy

Buster trying to some dirty trying to simulate a fantasy
Not that easy can't you understand (NO!) I'll repeat it again (NO!)
SOMETIMES
Honestly, can I say what I mean don't you play with me cos I'm a lady
When I look in your eyes I can see through your charm
You're constantly twisted I'm angry, alarmed
Your poison has taken control of my soul
But I won't say no more and I won't take no more
Sometimes I wonder where this feeling began
Deep in my heart right from the start
Tired and lonely I'll move on from this pain
I'm starting again I'm breaking the chain
Emotionally, it takes all of me apologies, but you don't really have a hold on me
There's a distance between us and you take the blame
I know that you try but at the stage of the game
I've started a new life there's no turning back with you now
Don't you know, can't you see I got over
Sometimes I wonder where this feeling began
Deep in my heart right from the start
Tired and lonely I'll move on from this pain
I'm starting again I'm breaking the chain
Had to take matters into my own hands
Falling this deep wasn't part of my plans
If turning this around is what I have to do
To get through to you my fire's burnt out it's true
Sometimes I wonder where this feeling began
Deep in my heart right from the start
Tired and lonely I'll move on from this pain
I'm starting again I'm breaking the chain
MAYA
Maya this song's for you
I have your name print tattooed upon my skin
There's so much to say to you and where do I begin?
Cos all these prayers, must be going somewhere
somewhere I can never trace
But it seems so far look in the stars and the empty space
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking we'll be together in time
I had a vision of this place
It looked like heaven but the colours seemed to change
And no matter what I do yeah it's slowly fading away
So all of these prayers have to be going somewhere
Somewhere I can never trace
And one could get lost in all of these stars and drift in space
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking we'll be together in time
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking we'll be together in time
There are worlds within worlds, that keep rotating
And so many thoughts that flow through my mind
If this universe is really shrinking we'll be together in time
WHO
Every minute passes by, you're always talking makes me cry
Finding out the reasons why, I'm needing space get out my ride
Talking about what I do, where I go, who I'm with and why I don't bring you
Think about the times you pushed me
Saying "baby please don't go", you make me sick, yeah, yeah
I'll make you lost in times before you break my small
You claim you love me, tease me, leave me, hold me, please me
Get off I'm movin on cos I'm tryin to take control
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep
And it's you, said you love me after just one week
Tell me who's always calling on my telephone
Now it's you tryin to tell me we should take things slow
And you said: "don't go, don't go, please don't go please don't leave me, on my own
Don't go, don't go, please don't go please don't leave me, on my own"
You're creepin, sneaking, cheating, on me, leavin, this round,
Gotta end the strike cos it ain't going down
Now you wanna come back, claim you give me a track
I forgive what you do then you want it back
I'm sick of playing this game, I ain't sticking with a claim fame
Stop this, right now, you crossed the line so baby get the hell out
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep (sleep)
And it's you, said you love me after just one week (just one week yeah)
Tell me who's always calling on my telephone

Make up your mind boy, silly games you're always playing
Have no time boy, to sit and chase you, I ain't staying
Well, thinking it's funny, well, you're spending money
And, every time you wanna get the upper hand remember
I'll be walking away looking cool with my
Matching bag and the jewels that I took
Don't you ever say it's not necessary
Then beg to come back, I ain't having that oh whoa
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep
And it's you, said you love me after just one week
Tell me who's always calling on my telephone
Now it's you tryin to tell me we should take things slow (take things slow)
But it's you talking dirty when I'm trying to sleep
And it's you, said you love me after just one week (just one week)

Now it's you tryin to tell me we should take things slow (take things slow)
And you said: "don't go, don't go, please don't go (don't go, oh no)

This is not a party thing, this is not a party.. with you
If you wanna party with me, can't afford to get this wrong
If you wanna get this on, bring your party to me
SOMEONE IN MY BED
He's got me sick wanna get it I can't help it I just need it
He's got me sick wanna get it I can't help it I just need it
You're always on my mind, I wouldn't call it love
But when we're in the club, we always move in time
And when it gets too much, I hurry home and rush
Wanna see me through the walls
Wanna slide through the floor, and my bed is calling
Blush, as my conscience starts to tell

Now it's about that time undressing with a sign
That later you'll be mine we're caught into a vibe
With dirty thoughts that crosses over the stop sign

What's happening to me ine touch and I'm just there
And I'm coming down the stairs bragging cos he made me go

And the thought just makes me (oh) it feels divine

COLDER IN THE RAIN
Feeling confused about the things that i have seen
Nothing seems to be real everything's a dream
Which causes me to question, what life really means
This is our World can't take no more, I'm breaking, help me tell me where to go
(In time I'm gonna find my own sweet way (Harmony))
My tears will dry, I don't know why, it's getting colder in the rain (oh)
But the summertime, hot left behind, and there's no one else to blame (oh)
Sitting here thinking about the place we're going to
Not knowing where or what might happen if we both flew
Even though I know I've made mistakes, I will learn from every one
This is awful can't take no more, I'm breaking, help me tell me where to go
(In time I'm gonna find my own sweet way (Harmony)) yeah yeah

DISTURBED
Where's the hurt, and what's it worth, and where's the ending proof?
Who am I, I've realised, one and one make two
Be prepared, stop running scared
Cos they are watching you, yes they are watching you
I don't know what it is with me, I'm falling from my own two feet
I feel a bitter end in sight, like a perfect world's been disturbed
I'm full of it but I can’t speak, how does a body get so weak?
No colour in my black and white, do the deepest times get much worse?
Who's your friend no one else learned from one mistake
On your own a precious stone left to wash away
Dim the lights down a wine who am I to blame yeah who am I to blame?
I don't know what it is with me, I'm falling from my own two feet
I feel a bitter end in sight, like a perfect world's been disturbed
I'm full of it but I can’t speak, how does a body get so weak?
No colour in my black and white, do the deepest times get much worse?
