Sweet Religion
Imogen Heap · I-Megaphone [1998]
tell me will my mind and soul
live on and on forever
am I on another level
a learning vessel of several
lessons to make me more cleverer
my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion
you mean everything to me
my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion
how does it feel
written in that book of love
now does it say your name above
the name by which they call me
and is it written in liquid red
cuz nothing else will do instead for reassuring eternity
will you be there when I need you?

x2
begin end enemy friend, heaven hell sick well
truth lies husbands and wives, whisper shout in out
laughter cry ask reply - good bad happy sad
right wrong outcast belong, caged free you and me
you have the answer to all of these
will you be there when I need you?
x4
my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion
you mean everything to me
my sweet little religion
my sweet little religion
how does it feel

The recording features her distinctive vocal delivery, which ranges from melodic singing to spoken word, creating an intimate yet expansive atmosphere. As a key component of her early discography, the track helped establish her reputation as a forward-thinking artist who challenged conventional song structures while maintaining strong emotional resonance.
