Northern Lites:Hafdis Huld-Tomoko


Hafdis Huld started singing with the nine-piece Icelandic collective Gus Gus when she was just 15 years old.She toured the world throughout the rest of her teens, enjoying Europe-wide recognition and widespread attention across the UK and America. When she had time away from her busy performing schedule shedeveloped her acting career, winning lead roles in several Icelandic films.

On moving to the UK, Hafdis was keen to start writing her own songs and quickly collaboratedwith FC Kahuna, co-writing their singles 'Hayling' and 'Machine Says Yes' at the same time starting to develop songs that would eventually form the basis of her solo album 'Dirty Paper Cup' which won the 'Best Pop Album 2006' at the Icelandic Music Awards. The video for 'Tomoko' was nominated in the best video category.
Since then Hafdis has been busy promoting her album, completing a successful support tour with Scottish heart throb Paolo Nutini, playing across Europe as part of Les Femmes S'en Melent Festival as well as her own headline dates. She is now back in the studio working on her second album.






Lyrics:

TOMOKO

She flies much faster
Shouts much louder
Looks much fresher
And eats much less than you

There's nothing you can do
It's just hard to hang out with Tomoko
Tomoko

She doesn't gossip
Her hair still shines
Still has hope
Is never broke
Like you

There's nothing you can do
It's just hard to hang out with Tomoko
Tomoko

But you get into all these clubs
You never dreamed off
And get loads of boys and toys
When you want
If you want
Do 3000 stupid things
But you don't get screamed at
And get loads of boys and toys
When you want
If you want

She's always nice
And gives advice
When we don't have a clue
She needs no help
From you

There's nothing you can do
It's just hard to hang out with Tomoko
Tomoko

But you get into all these clubs
You never dreamed off
And get loads of boys and toys
When you want
If you want
Do 3000 stupid things
But you don't get screamed at
And get loads of boys and toys
When you want
If you want

She's never cold
Puts boys on hold
Has the whitest smile
And her shoes
Used to be crocodile
It's true
Tomoko
It's hard to hang out with Tomoko
Tomoko
There's nothing you can do
Tomoko, Tomoko
No there's nothing you can do
Tomoko, Tomoko
It's just hard to hang out with Tomoko
Tomoko, Tomoko
And there's nothing you can do
Tomoko, Tomoko
Yes it's hard to hang out with Tomoko
Tomoko, Tomoko
