South West Four presents Faithless - 29th August 2015, Clapham Common, London. SW4 2015. Tickets: http://po.st/SW4Tics "This summer we play South London's SW4, the only festival date in the city where it all began for us. It'll be a very special homecoming show, see you there!" Sister Bliss It’s not every day that one of the world’s greatest electronic live acts decides to reunite in celebration of their 20th Anniversary. However the recent news that the legendary Faithless will come together one more time has sent shockwaves through the music industry and been met with a rapturous response. The fact that this will take place at South West Four makes this, without question, the most anticipated booking in our history. Thousands of fans from all over the world will make the pilgrimage to Clapham Common to witness this exclusive homecoming performance, set to be one of the highlights of the British summer. With an unparalleled back catalogue spread across seven albums (two of which went #1), numerous top 10 singles such as ‘Insomnia’, ‘God is a DJ’ and ‘We Come One’, as well as over fifteen million records sold worldwide, it’s no wonder why Faithless are considered dance music royalty. With a headline slot at South West Four on Saturday 29th August beckoning, Faithless are back to prove precisely why.

The Daily Telegraph 2015-03-17Faithless was a British electronica band consisting of Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss and Rollo. The group is best known for their dance songs ("Insomnia", "God Is a DJ" and "We Come 1"). Faithless recorded six albums. During their career they sold over 15 million records worldwide. The band have now officially split up after the climax of their Passing The Baton dates at Brixton Academy which was on the 7 and 8 April 2011.
The band was formed in early 1995, and their debut single "Salva Mea (Save Me)" was released in July that year. Jazz acted as a vocalist, whilst Bliss constructed most of the music herself electronically, but also played the piano, violin, saxophone and bass guitar. Rollo heads and produces the band. Lead female vocals for many of their songs are performed by Pauline Taylor, who also performed lead vocals for singles by Rollo released under his monikers Rollo Goes Mystic and Rollo Goes Spiritual.
The albums are Reverence (which reached number 26), Sunday 8PM (reaching number 10), Outrospective (at number 4) and No Roots (which debuted at number 1); they were released between 1996 and 2004, with a greatest hits compilation album out in 2005. In light of their dance roots, each of the four studio albums has been followed with a subsequent bonus disc of remixes. Their fifth album, To All New Arrivals, was released in 2006. Album number six, The Dance, was released on 16 May 2010, after a four year recording break for the band.
Lovely
Always on till like a quarter to three, lovely
Always on till like a quarter to three, lovely
Always on till like a quarter to three, lovely
Always on till like a quarter to three, lovely
Even though it's sandy and dusty
Adjust my position on my cushion
Time is a treasure 'cause it's oh, so dear
Lying here at my leisure on air
And the sun is really high in the sky
How am I supposed to do the dew
When it's too hot to move
I'm woozy, I'm woozy, I'm woozy
Nobody in bed with me
I need room to be where I want to be
No need to zoom or rush
In fact, take out the bass
In case we need more hush
Less percussion, a little less pushing and shoving
Take it easy, you could even get sleazy
Come around, watch a movie with the sound down
And get woozy, I'm woozy, I'm woozy
I'm woozy, yeah
Come on
I know you so intimately
Anger and misery
The reason for my heart's fragility
How will it be if you simply set me free
Restore my ability, to hold my head high
To speak only truth where I used to lie
Goodbye to the enemy, it's been too long
Come on
What about love?
Come on
I know you so intimately
Your heady sensuality
The reason for my heart's fragility
How will it be if you simply come back to me
Restore my stability
Take your fill of me
Finally in step like the military
And just as strong, it's been so long
Come on
Don't go
I didn't know you'd be here, and I wasn't meant to come.
I'd be sitting watching TV if there was anything decent on,
if I'd missed the taxi or found nothing good to wear.
But for some uncertain reason, some strange uncertain reason,
this is how it all it all began.
(Why go?) Why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
(Why go?) Why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
If I made some coffee, would you sit and talk some more?
I know words are usually pointless when you've used them all before.
The way your smile fills the room --
Stay awhile. Kick off your shoes. Don't go. Please stay. --
It always happened this way.
(Why go?) Why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
(Why go?) Why go, (when you could stay awhile)?
The way your smile fills the room --
Stay awhile. What's there to lose? --
The way you laugh, when I say, Don't go. Please stay.
Why go? Why go, when you could stay awhile?
Why go? Why go, when you could stay awhile,
Welcome once again
to the ceremony
briefly
this is my testimony
I see genius in everybody
to perceive it in yourself
is the difficulty
where you come from
really makes no difference to me
whether a country
or just another lonely city
like a lotus
you possess the ability
to produce flower and fruit
simultaneously
(3x Refrain)
so drop your pebble
in the mainstream
start a ripple
it will buzz you
like a tweak on your nipple
tickle your sensibility
speak just a little
your words have enough weight to turn rock to metal.
I see genius and everybody
to perceive it in yourself
is the difficulty
but your individuality
overflows the quality
it manifests solubly
if you believe
(2x Refrain)
so drop your pebble
in the mainstream
start a ripple
it will buzz you
like a tweak on your nipple
tickle your sensibility
speak just a little
My love is generations old,
I was there when trees died as the world went cold
Still there when my people were bought and sold
What's going on? What's going on?
Your love is on a grand scale
Mine is in the detail
Your love is to change the world
We just want to have to hold
Two hearts, both forgiving
Two ways to see the same thing
One house there's room for all
We just want to have to hold
No roots, no tree, no family, no me
Our first fuck was more planning than luck
I had a deep understanding of what makes you (hot)
I did my homework till my dome hurt, I was a stone flirt
Hustling for some prone work, and I don't stop
I knew that you were good for me,
You 'n I fit together so beautifully
But only for three years were we in harmony
I've ended up part you, part me,
Love that we agree, not be ugly
And now that we're free to create our own destiny
You will always be a friend to me
My love persists over land and sea, through centuries
I'll fill you up like rice and peas,
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
We're floating from right to bright news
Making sips of your pop skin
All I need to know it
What more I have to do
All I need to know it
What more I have to do
What do you want?
It's been so long
Without this feeling
My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
The skin under my chin is exploding again
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if I get friction, we get to fighting
I defend my dad, he's the best of all men
And whatever he's doing, he's doing the right thing
It's frightening, but it makes me mad
Why do all these people seem to hate my dad
And if that aint enough now I got these spots
I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots
And what's more, I can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seem like daddy been gone for years
But he was right
Now I'm geared up for the fight
And he would be proud of me
If my daddy come home tonight
Listen me calmly
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
My story stops here, lets be clear
This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
O Woman
I love the way you're so deliberate,
How you light your cigarette
Head on one side as you pull, you look almost regal.
I'm digging it, on your mobile, one eye closed
Blue smoke curling out your nose
Wearing one of my shirts and what some call panty hose
Cause you look wicked in scanty clothes,
Long legs like an antelope
You're my antidote to city life, my pretty wife
Hooked up the year before
Together thirteen outta twenty four
And you would never guess
I wanna miss you less and see you more,
See you more, see you more, see you more
And when I kiss you I'm never sure
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
I can gauge your mood, from your approach to food
You use ya rude red shoes to accessorize your attitude
Desensitized to my roving eyes, and ready smile
I get loving that's versatile,
Worth that extra smile lying next to me
Your textured voice whispering,
I'm listening with my whole skin
Holding onto the moment for all its worth
How could I continue to be the sky without my earth
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
No roots, no tree, no family, no way,
Please believe in what I say
Cause' I'm running out of ways to convey
This lack of faith in myself
That's becoming my own personal health
Vicious settles in
My bones feel like they're breaking through my skin
Well God damn you
You're feeding on my loneliness
What an awful way to live
What a way to live
Get me out of this place
Cause' I'm stuck in a rut
And I cannot
My lungs are filling up with dust
I feel bruised and broken with no one left to trust
Vicious settles in
My bones feel like they're breaking through my skin
Well God damn you
You're feeding on my loneliness
But I will not let you win
And so we rot...
Kings in this world
Slaves in the next
We pledge allegiance to a dollar sign
Blind to the effects
Of lust, of greed
The lives we lead
Controlled by the end of a shotgun
Aimed at the heart of humanity
Lost in the midst of insanity
And I have come to realize
This world has made me who I am
Corrupt, faithless
My sins are unforgivable
I'm so desperate to find escape
That I'd dig a grave
And bury the corpse of morality
Hide the sins of humanity
O Blessed father on high
Take me away to better days
O Holy Mother, I cried
But no one hears
The sounds of this world
Silence
The powers that be
Cowards
Running faster towards the end of our time
Bearing down on the fall of all humankind
In our world, Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds.
11 Million children die every year of mal-nutrition.
(To all new arrivals, welcome)
In our world, 15 Million children have been orphaned by AIDS.
30, 000 children die of preventable causes every day.
(To all new arrivals, welcome)
In our world, 2 million children are working in the sex trade this moment.
1.1 Billion people in the world, earn less than a dollar a day.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.
If theres a God, be aware, I'm a man newly made.
My son lies here, and only of him, am I afraid.
As I gaze into that face, I perceive that which is true.
I created him, and we created you... in his image.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.
And I never knew love like this.
(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.
I want the view from the top of the hill
Give me the view from the top of the hill
When I think of you
And your good life
And your sorrow too
How much i'm missing you
No matter where i go
Or where I come to stay
This is waking up
I want this feeling
Doors wide open
And now i leave it all
Bags of trouble
And a messy mind
Oh I hope I find
Where your load is light
Where your heart's at ease
This is waking up
And feeling good feeling good
Hey i'm making my mistakes
Cause I'm no great shakes at being perfect
I just take my breaks and work it
Bring it to the surface
Like a scuba diver
Never nervous
Cause now i'm older and wiser
An' I've a bold feelin
This old skin is peeln
Revealing a new layer
I'm no soothsayer
But I feel it's time to leave
To polish my heart with the other sleeve
I want the view from the top of the hill
Give me the view from the top of the hill
I want the view from the top of the hill
Give me the view from the top of the hill
Mass Destruction (No Roots)
[CHORUS]
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're Soaraway Sun or BBC 1
Misinformation is a weapon of mass destruct
You coulda Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
He sat on my bed told me some facts.
Son, I have the duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight
[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find the courages, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)
The skin under my chin is exploding again.
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if i get friction we get to fighting.
I'll defend my dad he's the best of all men
and whatever he's doing he's doing the right thing.
It's frightening, but it makes me mad,
Why do all of these people seem to hate my dad?
And if that ain't enough now i get these spots.
I go to sleep every night with my stomache in knots
And what's more, i can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war.
And all we ever seem to do is hide the tears.
Seems like daddy been gone for years.
But he was right, now i'm geared up for the fight
and he would be proud of me.
[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton, Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find the courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction (x3)
My story stops here, lets be clear.
This scenario is happening everywhere.
And you ain't going to nirvana or far-vana,
you're coming right back here to live out your karma.
With even more drama than previously, seriously.
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free?
And we refuse to see
that people overseas suffer just like we:
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight.
There's only now, do it right.
'Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
[CHORUS]
Whether Halliburton Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find the courages, overcome
Although I don't really know how to handle you
I will have nobody kicking no sand in your face
Not even a trace of bland in you
Teenage and it's a trouble understanding you
You got plenty of energy and stamina
Forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in you
There's a bit of, 'I don't give a damn' in you, ha
And that's your old man in you
Stand in your way, never or ever abandon ya
And on the day people say what they can't stand in ya
Don't let your ego get out of hand on ya
It ain't a good look when crook-kharma land on ya
Balance yourself, bring out the Zinedine Zidane in you
The I will and I can in you
Execute the grand plan in you
I'm your daddy and happy to see the man in you
Might know too much but I'm no soft touch
Brought you up, to recognize lies as such
I need no crutch, child hood was arduous
And if there is a God I'm sure He would pardon us
Must be working hard in us, not to harden us
10, that you really wanna be
20, exactly what you see is on telly
11, you can't tell him anything
That he don't know already
12, they get together steady
Explore the 1st keeping up with the many
13, none of them are ready
Living on old raised broke not a penny
14, baby in the belly
She's all done a runner another no daddy
15, Nanny and she loves it dearly
Head strong proving all along but wary
16, scale we were quite contrary
This is how the garden grows
This is how the garden grows
Children, you still own the power
To turn this into your finest hour
Now a young ma mum that mistake
Can make a contribution why don't we wait and see
Give back the mothers their dignity
And the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility
This society needs to learn empathy
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour
Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls and a roof, electricity, stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime but still you whine
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king on just one crumb of ya cake
And ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What do ya mean
I want more
I was told as a child
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you
Ain't got no reason to be down
What do ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What do ya mean
I want more
What do ya mean
I want more

Til there is justice, there can be no peace,
In times of roughness, we will storm the streets,
Through all this toughness, witness the swarm increase
We don't die, we multiply, we are one everything
Here to overthrow the table of the moneychangers
We own the throne so hand it over to the grubby angels
The streets are ours but we ain't taken this town yet
We built it up but we ain't torn it down yet
We got to
We got to
Chase them crazy

Crisis, in the supermarket-prices
Prospects, not the nicest, my wife is
About as cold as ice is
When stressed, she's not the wisest, who is?
We all got baggage, hers is financial
Peace to my uncle and so thanks to
A loan from him
We still have a home to live in
I'm learning to ride the riddim, when she come in
Face full of arguing
Another nice night in ruin
Remembering back when we were just into each other
Now we just injure each other, without thinking
And when the silence fall, and the world gets really small
She crawl into bed, I'm in my three fifty zed
High speed meditation just to ease my head
Light beep on as I slide in
Put the music on to keep me from crying
A tear may escape as I scrape first gear
But have no fear I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
Hmmm...
I'll never stop trying
I love the surge, the pull, away from the curb
The way the sound-reverberate
As I push my foot down, accelerate straight out of town
And with the help of James Brown on the tape
I reach escape velocity on the M3
Transcend my physical bounderies
Blend with the mystic reality
And finally, I'm free
Travelling instantaneously through space
'till I will reach that place within me
That has no trace of a beginning, has no end
Where I both recieve and send
My soul fills the universe end to end
And I feel myself heal and mend
My mind is still and I'm floating
Look down, throttle's still wide open
Inner serenity comfort me, past junction twenty three
On my way back, full chat and I'm flying
I won't crack and I'll never stop trying
I'm flying, I'll never stop trying
I'm flying
(woman singing)
It's like all of a sudden
And everything is different
You can still see everything around you
But it's all completely lost its significance
It's not important anymore
This inner-acceptance that you are we
And everything that is
Is you
Emotions unstick and fall away
Til all that remains is joy
My earthly body's doing one sixty
And float free in the realm of eternity
The essential inner drama
Where my rhythm resonates so all phenomenom full uppa
Original stamina
Look uppa
I know the speed camera
Physical laws unravel
I travel through the fabric hole
The unseen going mad quick
Some call it magic
They flash and I never get a ticket, boom
I'm leaving with the mystic laws
So benefit is automatic
And I'm back with my girl
Back in the real world
Two AM, we both tired of arguin
She wanna know we're I been
Back before big bang and then back again
And she scold me, stop lying
And I told her, and I hold her
I'll never stop trying, baby
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying, for you
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying, for you
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
The long way home....
Now I'm in the flow
The long way home....
I've been in places by chance, never intended to go.
And so ended my youth, I once depended on proof,
now I'm in the flow.
There are things I know beyond knowing.
Seems growing.
I lift ya of the earth, mundane and glum, out the
solar system, way past the sun. Till my
kingdom come.
I guided sleeping rough on the streets in the rain.
I guided learning to share my people's pain.
I guided making flowers of broken hearts of stone.
Both physical and sensory
My entity
Indivisible from nature's whole treasure
This Identity
Vast, beyond measure
I share with the oceans, dark matter, and you
Mirrors, smoke and mirrors
Gears re-unite
Vacant, so much room inside
in such a hurry, no where to stop
no where to stop
in such a hurry
no where to stop
all our plans
we wake up chasing the wind
catching shadows and losing our heads
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around on myself
It's been years and I could use the help
to carry us back to that place
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around
I'm coming around
I'm coming around
mirrors, smoke and mirrors,
it's hard to face myself
hard to face myself
vacant, so much room inside
it's hard to stop myself
hard to deal with myself
all our lives
we wake up chasing the wind
catching shadows and losing our heads
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around on myself
It's been years and I could use the help
show me where's the window to escape
but if all you want is out
I'm coming around
Now you can't do it fast, it won't be an [Incomprehensible] you
I'm not going to bed
Just do it, do it, that's right
Here we go
Saving all my money for a pocketful of love
And food in my tummy
Chocolate and broccoli
Sand and dirt and squashing snails
I'm never going to bed but if I do
Selfish crocodile's coming too
Train sets, birthdays and re-living
Pizzas, diggers and dirty things
What I want is a car like Noddy
And to live with the monkeys in the zoo
I'm never going to bed but if I do
Hungry caterpillar's coming too
He's coming, yeah
He's coming
He's coming, yeah
Here he is
On candy stripe legs, spider man comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim, shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do and I realize with fright
The spider man is having me for dinner tonight
The spider man is always hungry
Under the covers, boy
You been reading those comics for hours
I bet you didn't know your dad had super powers
Now where's your dinner
When we play down the rules with your ma?
She gave me vexed when me flex me ex-rapism
It'll come son, the way is you'll develop it later on
Also the back river run for nothing but wisdom
'Cause you're the born sky walker, I may be everyone
Now give me your comic book
Go to sleep and don't make your mama come
She the only one with the kryptonite
So I don't wanna hear another peep, alright?
The spider man is always hungry
The spider man is always hungry
"Come into my parlor", said the spider to the fly
"For I have a little something here"
Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here he is
Yeah, life bring it on, give it to me
I love it, I can't get enough
I can never get enough
I can't get enough sleep
What is this?
Headphones
What is it for doing?
So you put them on your ears
And you can hear music
From there?
Yeah, from the microphone
What's that in the microphone?
A diaphragm
I, I speak in the microphone
Sorry, I have no sunday 8pm (a time for lovin' mix) lyrics
Would you please submit sunday 8pm (a time for lovin' mix) lyrics to me? thank you
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
It's a Saturday night
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Uh uh, it's a Saturday night
Full crew stepping at the function
Keith Lawrence is a weapon of mass destruction
Brixton DJ and he played the funk, son
A local hero yo, but now he ain't unsung
Jimmy brought rum, he looking for clean cups
No snacks here, you won't be dancing on peanuts
Strictly hot food, keep you nice and strong
So you can go on and on and last long
Every time I hear this song, this song
I will be played deep brown, the place teared down
Dangerous on the door, seen it all before
Coats and bags on the floor by the decks
Me next to DJ, I carry the swing
[Incomprehensible] as he exercising
Everybody moving as a unified swing
Gentle up and down fingertips rolling salsa
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Mark and Devo in the corner, heading on in by the speaker
Dressed cool, never known to freak
Outside by the pool on chairs and bars stools
Are the lovers long term manually discovered
Some for romance, sum in each others pants
Some debutantes with pool side veterans
What better than you catch a cross delta
And grab a kiss with the moon? That's the number what a
Food still hot 'cause your pot's still steaming
Casey screaming, he's not doing the cleaning
While he's leaning back with a large grin left
After him party would simply start again
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
This is how I make the party sway
Yo, I got more styles than Amsterdam got ashtrays
I blaze in the shadows with my compadres
And I stay close to home where I'm known to praise
I was raised down south where running your mouth
Is something my people know all about
It's a semi professional pastime, gotta get the last line
You know it's your shout
It's a Saturday night
Come again
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
Reasons to be cheerful, one, two, three
These ways of self deception
Underneath the living shield
We burn and erase
Our sins to be forgiven
The nature we deny
Now blind leads the blind
Believe in me
And my justified confession
Of the 7 deadly sins
I won't bleed from my palms
Or see the statues bleed
No faith left in me
This law without exception
Is written to the core
Words of violence feed the war
Countdown to the judgement
We have all a cause
And saviour from the fall
You can sleep forever, but still you will be tired
You can stay as cold as stone, but still you won't find peace
With you I feel I'm the meek leading the blind
With you I feel I'm just spending wasting time
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
One step too far
You can walk too far but still you won't be found
You can look down on the world but still you won't find love
You won't find love
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through,
Don't let nothin' ride u,
If the sun or the moon would give way to doubt,
They would immediately go out.
Only one swallow doesn't make a summer
But u gotta start somewhere (maxi's bit)
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
One step too far
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I've been waiting
I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb
And when you lock
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round.
Until you wake up
You people need a shake up
You take up so much time
Worrying, Scurrying,
Here, there,
Losing your hair
No money to spare
No love to share
No wonder you appear under pressure from here
You look fresh, yeah
But all I got is dirt in my hair
My nightmares manifest,
But I can escape
Yours is in your chest
With no form or shape
The tape is running
I push the button to send
Upon each other we all depend
Message end
Whoever asks my name
Or where I came from
People fear contamination
If they chary too long
I carry a strong
Sin of despair
It's in the air
I'm broken and hard to repair
I may mistaken be
But I patiently wait
On the path to humanity
I sit at the gates
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul,
Down the river
My liver in bad condition
Like my skin
Rain falling, once again
I'm in my bed
Hurt the time in
I'm gonna struggle for air
There's hair in my food
When I get it usually someone already half ate it
Touch it, not to let it
Get me down
But my head starting to pound
People go round, and round and round
From one I get a cigarette
A little more love found
But the ground is still wet
My teeth are chattering
And there's a spattering of seeds
Sometimes I lose all feeling in my feet
When I sleep I'll do my deep in the mainstream
But unaccountably my heart was growing
Small and mean
A hurry past
Wretched people I pretend I haven't seen
But there's money in my pocket
And my clothes are clean?
I said money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
Money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And bolt the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
"If all you keep hearing it so long you will see me as a super star and you'll have time to waste with your minions and things"
I see your face in front of me, still grainy
From that old black'n'white TV
My whole family silent,
Watchin' you shape destiny witcha two hands
Faster than the eye could see...
Mesmerising
Y'Know what? Skinny lickle me, started to strut.
Ten years old, suddenly bold,
'Cos I resolved to live like my hero in the ring...
Be smart, never give an inch, no retreating
An I racked up, respect from teachers, rednecks
And creatures who attack in a pack like insects.
Never, seen the like, not before or since,
A young prince an I remain convinced of his invincibility,
Athletic agility, virility, still a free spirit.
Forever through eternity, stingin' like a bee...
Muhammad Ali.
I want you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I want you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I want you to know
Your are the o-riginal
Your achievements defy belief,
From the belly of the beast
Risin' like yeast yo, my relief from low self-esteem
Came when I saw you rappin' on my TV screen, float.
Like a butterfly that describe my walk to school.
After fight night, I felt so cool
Cos' I was the greatest too.
Love of self born simply out of love for you
An I knew someday people'll love me too
None of the hecklin about my black skin got through.
I woulda walked barefoot through hell for you
It's how I felt back then an I still do so will you
Accept these humble words of praise.
And my gratitude for those glorious days
And meritorious ways instilled in a young mind
Skills sublime,
Yours to mine.
I want you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I want you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I want you to know
For all those who stood up and were counted
For all those for whom money was no motive
For all those for whom music was a message
I want to thank you for making me a little more sure
A little more wise and courageous
You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me the music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all
Under the sheets with my radio turn down low
So nobody know it's the late night show
Hopin' to hear 'Hey Joe', Jimmy was my hero
Head blown by Type R or was it the true star?
From Dali Lama to Tanamo, Curtis Mayfield
Say Kurtis Blow singing into my pillow
And praying I don't dose until my 9 volt battery goes
You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me the music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all
You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me the music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door
I won't stop here, I won't be still until the sun sets on us all
You told me the music matters
You told me the music matters
You told me the music matters
You live two lives and never think about your actions
Who is the one you try to please?
Yourself. With no reguard for anyone
Who is the one you try to please?
Feel glass against your face
Hopless for this moment
You cry out for help.
He has been watching all along
This is a call to the faithful,
If you place a thing into the center of your life
That lacks the power to nourish
It will eventually poison everything that you are
And destroy you
A simple a thing as an idea
Or your perspective on yourself of the world
No one can be the source of your contempt,
It lies within, in the center.
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Don't let nothing ride you.
If the sun or the moon should keel away to die,
They would immediately go out .
One.
Swallow don't make a sound,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere.
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This Child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
When there's no where, left to run to
Let me come to you, let me help you down
For when the world, gives you tomorrow
Your gonna learn to live again
We can learn to go,
Oh learn as we go
Just to live, for the day
I know it's hard, to live for the moment
Just try, anyway
Newspapers, Lion Tamers, This Child,
In background - "Do what I have to"
Remember Emily?
In a long dress one summers day she said yes
Now every special requests requires another
So many times it feels endless, a big yes
Branded red on each breast
But she selfless out there
Doing her best strangest scene
Nobody seemed to be impressed.
The more she do for this fool
The more she behind schedule
Had no fun for so long
Old records turned her onto High School flings
And she was full of daring
Colorful hair used to wear thirteen rings
Now she staring gludgery
Full in the face and accepts it as her place
And just incase there's anything she missed,
She recheck the list
Does it over again,
To make sure it's spotless.
Jimmy longed for how it used to be,
She was viscous and volatile
She was feisty, iced tea was the tipple never asked nicely,
Her lips used to Curl down ever so slightly, impolite,
Fire burned bright behind the Oakley,
We just had to get to grips.
After a few long sipped juice begin to lose flavour,
She no longer gets to savor being consumed.
Jimmy sleeps drunk in the other room still in his shoes
Escaping head long into the booze,
The whole house vibrating with the changes of moods.
From feisty she turned into being nice to me
In the old days he'd of been wearing Ice T,
Jimmy Cradles times return,
She was fine and so beautifully unconcerned.
Jimmy Told her on the day he quit
You don't love me you love the relationship
I'm the prodeney product of Misogheny,
Jimmy and Emily Harmogeny
They promised me nothing but honesty,
And that's all I got,
I could never be the cement in their destiny,
They still haven't forgiven me,
You know my own woman is leaving me
Said she stopped believing me,
Cant even see what she saw in me,
I told my woman she was beautiful,
She didn't believe,
Convinced herself I was preparing to leave,
So she took my son and left the world free.
I told my woman she was beautiful Ten Times a Day,
Ten Times a Day she would Smile, and look away.
I end up throwing my love down a bottomless pit.
All the subtle flavors of my life
Are become bitter seeds
And poisoned leaves
Without you
You represent what's true
I drain the color from the sky
And turn blue
Without you
These arms lack a purpose
Flapping like a humming-bird
I'm nervous 'cause
I'm the left eye
You're the right
Would it not be madness to fight
We come 1
In you the song which rights my wrongs
In you the fullness of living
The power to begin again
From right now, in you
We come 1
I'm unafraid
Never never scared
Worries washed
Pressed air
I am the left eye
You're the right
Would it not be madness to fight
Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes
To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace , it's a kind of peace
With the years doors have been locked and windows closed
And the things I'm sure I knew are no longer due
But I see comfort in my home, in my heart
To make a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace
And above me if there is nothing and no one knew I really care
It's just a now, a now I prefer, not the future and not the past
So put the chairs to one side and let us dance
It's a strange kind of peace
It's a kind of peace, it's a strange kind of peace
It's a kind of peace
Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes
To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh, look how great we have become
Key in the door, the moment I've been longing for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss
And a story they're a gift to this world
My only claim to glory, I surely never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions, I'm amazed
So much heaven, so much hell, so much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul, one man's loss, another man's gold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
We're just children, we're just dust, we are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all
One bomb, the whole block gone
Can't find me children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some another fun day in Babylon
I'm gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done, so now I've got to kill someone
So much heaven, so much hell, so much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul, moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much heaven, so much hell, so much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul, moments lost, moments go
Somebody bring my family back...
I'm on lonely street, I'm on the wrong track.
Only one thing left, somebody bring my family back.
I'm on lonely street, I'm on the wrong track.
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
Another train leavin' home,
conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack,
settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
Not cover my mistakes,
try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
The last thing you hear before your life disappear
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,
feel like I've been cursed.
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock,
this place is like a padlock
You look shocked.
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near,
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell
I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found,
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
of syringes
J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows,
oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
cage
And write another stage into a new age,
it's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
When I arrive eyes wide fired up
Tried not to slide and let the side down
Now the plane's on the ground
I'll find a good profession
It's 1957, I've come to the motherland
To make a home to put my bed in
This weather does my head in
Some people are less than kind I wish
Mama was here so I could unwind
But I'm supposed to be the good news
So I lace up these hard black shoes
And look more work
These streets were never paved with gold
They simply make my feet hurt
They just make my feet hurt
Just a little money in my pocket
And a little bit left for those I love
To have enough food on my table
And a little bit more for those who call
And in this land of hope and glory
You'd think there's enough for us all
You'd think there's enough for us all
When I arrive eyes wide petrified
Tried not to cry and let the side down
Now the plane's on the ground
It's 20 years later, mama's in the arrival lounge
I take a few seconds to kiss her
Then look around at what's happened to my home town
What's going on
But papa doesn't look too strong
Rush home in a cab, windows up
Now I hear dad cough
"We gotta get in before they switch the lights and water off
For the night"
I have to get to know the guard dogs
'Cause they bite
Progress just passed us by to the right
Just a little money in my pocket
And a little bit left for those I love
To have enough food on my table
And a little bit more for those who call
And in this land of hope and glory
You'd think there's enough for us all
You'd think there's enough for us all

Just a little money in my pocket

To have enough food on my table
And a little bit more for those who call
And in this land of hope and glory
You'd think there's enough for us all
You'd think there's enough for us all
The public needs to know
That there may be other people out there
Who may be planning
To attack against the United Kingdom
That is why there are a number of
Other security service operations underway
There is still a very serious threat of an attack
The threat level is at severe
Indicating the high likelihood
Of an attempted terrorist attack at some stage
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ
This is my church
I'm on lonely street, I'm on the wrong track.
Only one thing left, somebody bring my family back.
I'm on lonely street, I'm on the wrong track.
Only one thing left, somebody bring my family back.
Somebody bring my family back... (10x)
I'm on lonely street, I'm on the wrong track.
Only one thing left, somebody bring my family back.
I'm on lonely street, I'm on the wrong track.
Only one thing left, somebody bring my family back.
One of my friends told me, sleeping is a waste of time
So you won't find me in sheets tonight
I'll be on the streets and well aware of what went wrong
This conscience is tearing me apart
All I ever wanted was my faith in you (And you lost your pride)
And it should be the only reason that I ever let this go
And now I'm thinking (thinking) that I was wrong
What if your friends told you, sleeping is a waste of time
So sleep when you're dead and wrapped in white
What a better time to close your eyes, so close your eyes
And now you're gone
Girl don't push yourself, just lost my faith in you
Faithless, that's how you've left me here
Faithless, that's how you've left me here,
that's how you've left me here
Take this slow, the worst poison in the world is a closed damn heart
Take this slow, the worst poison that I know is your closed heart
Take this slow, the worst poison in the world is a closed damn heart
Girl don't push yourself
I guess I just lost my faith in you, and it holds me back
Girl don't push yourself, just lost my faith in you
As we spin around the mattress
As the guilty walls start chiming in
As I mumble my resistance
I hesitate, then I take you in
Your scent is too familiar
Your fingers nullify my skin
Am I still your creepy sister
When you wash me away
And away we go again
He leads me down to the basement
He waits til no one can hear
He leaves me dirty, wasted
I am Faithless
I am shameless
I am faithless
I don't expect to be forgiven
I don't expect these scars to dissappear
I came to life as you predicted
So you were right
I'm your souvinere
Can I return your little secret?
Can I remember to forget I'm here?
Cut out my tongue and let you keep it
Would it turn you on
Or would it make you feel?
He leaves me broken, breathless
He leaves me his cigarette
He leaves me shattered, shaken
I am Faithless
I am nameless
I am
Twisted, I'm so twisted
Is that human?
Given, I'm so given up
He leaves me!
I am Faithless
I am faceless
I am...
I am shameless
I am nameless
Stay a while
I didn't know you'd be here, and I wasn't meant to come.
I'd be sitting watching TV if there was anything decent on.
If I made some coffee, would you sit and talk some more?
I know words are usually pointless, when you used them all before.
The way you smile fills the room --
Stay awhile. Kick off your shoes. Don't go. Please stay. --
It always happened this way.
Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
Don't go..
I didn't know you'd be here, and I wasn't meant to come.
if I'd missed the taxi or found nothing good to wear.
But for some uncertain reason, some strange and uncertain reason,
this is how it all, it all began.
The way you smile fills the room --
Stay awhile. What's there to lose? --
The way you laugh, when I say, Don't go. Please stay.
Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
'd search the world to find the key to my head
To understand the reasons why I can't be
Alone for a moment without regretting every word
That has jumped off my tongue, confusing every one
My arms can't hold back the loneliness
I've felt since I lost sight
My arms can't hold back what my hands
Have already deceived
Already deceived
So much is different
So much has changed
So many reasons why I don't want to see my face
Somebody bind my hands and make me understand...
I try to remember just what happened on that night
The things I did, the things I said, it never ends
It's like this face that lay beside me just won't leave
it stays right by my side and never goes away
Your so-called friends
Your so-called career
The time on your hands
The lover you cheat on every Monday night
Your sense of protection
Your chord progressions
You had the world
Indebted to no one
But your electronic diary
Well, that's impressive
You're so complete!
[chorus]
Until we tumble we are faithless
Until our senses fail were faithless
Until we falter we are faithless
Until there's nothin' left to hold on to
The turn of events
The twister called fate
It came without warning
They gave you no freakin' sign
So now you've got zero
Now you've got nil
How does it feel?
Until we tumble we are faithless
Until our senses fail were faithless
Until we falter we are faithless Only in darkness
Can we plainly see
The hand that saves
Oh, Darling, I miss you.
An boy has it hard
The thought of you leavin'
is breakin' my heart
New York, New York, temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops
I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through
Florida's out
We fly September 22 to Heathrow, but there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin' you know I miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Oh, Darling, I miss you
An boy has it hard
The thought of you leavin'
is breakin' my heart
Honey, I'm writin' from D.C., feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The TM. recommends an antigen
One of them could resist taking a piss
I miss you like a lock in the door
What's more, I go to sleep with my Walkman 'cause half the crew snored
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great,
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So I stay up late with a tape, or meditate
My bed is travellin' at fifty-five m.p.h.
When we make it to LA, I'll still be miles away
It's not my best day
Oh, Darling, I miss you
God bless
An boy has it hard.
The thought of you leavin'
is breakin' my heart.
If these walls can hold you,
my house will be down.
If these walls can hold you,
my house will be down.
Oh, Darling, I miss you,
my house will be down.
Oh, Darling, we urge you
my house will be down.
Mmm, come to papa
I see you working,
through the beat curtain in the kitchen.
Switchin, leavin' me twitchin',
I'm itchin' to be kissin' you
But discipline is the rule,
so I sit my own juicy ?? in that cool sheet
Irresistible
We fool around twice a week, she make me weak
Nice when she put her tongue in my cheek
Not petite, baby got a large physique
She take charge, take me where I dare not repeat
I go ... like a hi-hat, plantin' kisses on your back
You like that, Mrs. X, reputation intact
Nobody in my block know we're like down like that
And the next flat, one down from where I live with my mum
And Uncle John, he ain't my uncle when it's been far too long
But me and she been going strong, almost a year
Wait 'til the coast is clear, I don't bolt for fear of getting caught
Maybe we ought to start, maybe not
For now, my baby gets all I got
Boom, how come we always trash the room?
Grab your coat 'cause you know someone'll be home soon
And now you see there be a need to explain gently
Why this mother of three is playin' games with me
She's my baby
(yeah)
She's my baby
she's my baby
, sweets my baby
she's my baby
, sweets my baby
I'm a slave to your outrage
Rocket rocks give shocks, and a row cage
Color-coded alloys, much noise,
poise
Exalt enough to know the roots of old age
Yes yes. Who got the keys to my RS
As we goin' on a road test, hit the M4 and head west
Forever impressed, with the sound of my two-liter
We cover ground, engine singin' like Anita Baker
And if I take a corner too quick you get sick, when I do my handbrake
trick
Watch me ride, me broadside's wide like a battleship
Side slip, push, only hip, stick it in gear and get the gas uplift
It never failed to bring a grin to the limb
Baby's equipped
me and she gone clear
I got quick reduction on my understeer
I been fairly and squarely described as hairy
People say my baby is scary
Look, you pays your money and you takes your choice
I just love to hear my baby's voice
She's my baby
She's my baby
, sweets my baby
She's my baby
, sweets my baby
I roll up her position, everything's in position
my friend's demonstrating ??
I listen for a minute before taking sides
Sleep the eyes, on the limit, sit down and spin it like we do
Every Friday, 'round my way where I play before we..
No alcohol is a rule
My baby gets passed around I don't frown
I love to see my friends getting down
When it's just me and she you know it's never precarious
But sharing with your buddies is hilarious
Variously we argue and
Disagree and get heated
Have to tell my people that we see it and we start the anti-stress process
'Til there's a big mess of twigs and seeds to meet your needs
?? hello: clarity, mellow
She's my baby
She's my baby
, sweets my baby
She's my baby
'Bout a month ago, I've never seen your face -
I've never heard your voice. 'Bout a month ago.
I'm a careful hunter and I have to say -
Before I found your love. 'Bout a month ago.
Are you my boy or the flowerstand man -
You bought such color to this place.
Are you my boy or the flowerstand man -
With you I'm laid back.
I don't care if every river runs so dry.
I don't care if every species were to die.
I don't care about the Ozone layer -
I wouldn't notice if it wasn't there, oh no.
I don't care if we sell - coke to Africa.
I don't care about apartheid.
I wouldn't notice if it all get better.
I don't care about the starving who've died.
You're my boy when, the way you live and breathe -
I don't care about anything but you.
You're my boy when, the way you live and breathe -
I don't care about anything but you.

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
It's in the world I become
Content in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ
For tonight
God is a DJ
...wish he was a man
Oh I wish I could be
Touched by the hem of his garment
And the dream...
To be proud there's never been
so mean, so hard, so stern, so cruel
Oh I wish I could be
touched by the hem of his garment
Mmmmm, Oh I've come a long way
To touch the hem of his garment
And anger should be
The tool of a clown or a fool you'll see
And why should such spite and such pain
Hang between you and me
When love should be
A queen on her throne
Looking after her own
I wish I could be
Touched by the hem of his garment
Two chairs at this table
One bed in this house
Seriously, I think we could be, feel we could be
Touched by the hem of his garment
Mmmmm, I've come a long way
The long way home....
Now I'm in the flow (11x)
The long way home.... (4x)
I've been in places by chance, never intended to go.
And so ended my youth, I once depended on proof,
now I'm in the flow.
There are things I know beyond knowing.
Seems growing.
I lift ya of the earth, mundane and glum, out the
solar system, way past the sun. Till my
kingdom come.
I guided sleeping rough on the streets in the rain.
I guided learning to share my people's pain.
I guided making flowers of broken hearts of stone.
I guided 'cause I always took the long way home...
Stay a while (2x)
I didn't know you'd be here, and I wasn't meant to come.
I'd be sitting watching TV if there was anything decent on.

Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
Why go? When you can stay awhile,
when you could stay with me, tonight.
Tonight...
You've been out on the tiles,
Winning the smiles of men of low persuasion,
But I know you drink yourself crawling in the street until dawn,
Girl you look like a bad dream,
You've been places I've never been.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
You took the small change from the job in the hall,
Be back in an hour but you're not back at all.
The children are crying, the flowers are dying,
There's no food on the table,
I don't think I'm able to cope,
You've been places I've never been.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
Cheap perfume and alcohol, dancing on tables,
With kissing for strangers all laughing and howling,
And jokes and tall tales that ain't funny at all,
Bluffers and smugglers, boozers and gamblers,
Jump old queens and tarts at the babbled bar.
Oh, they've been pushing you too far.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
You've been places I've never been.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Come home, come home Angeline.
Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
All severe, and not saying a word,
And I'm sitting down here just watching you,
And I'm thinking
Where has all the love gone?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave,
You got me hurting,
Don't leave
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, don't leave.
Hanging with friends like we used to do,
I didn't know anything was wrong,
And last night well I was thinking it through,
Trying to find who am I and what d'you need me to do?
Don't leave.
There's a record you used to play,
there's Joni singing 'best to be without you',
And I know just what she's singing
Where did all the love go?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave.
You got me hurting,
Don't leave.
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, don't leave.
Where did all the love go?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave.
We'll fly around the world, give you what you're giving me,
I should have dressed you up in pearls,
Finest silk to touch your skin,
Don't know how to write a love song,
But Don't leave.
You got me hurting,
Don't leave.
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Don't leave
Don't leave
Don't leave
She has almost faded, almost faded away
Life gets complicated, giving up everything
She feels less than perfect, scars don't fade away
Hands hide eyes of burden, purity she prays
Going under
I'm not going under
Going under
I'm not going under
Going under
I'm not going under
But all I know is I've lost all my faith
She has shows in darkness, dreams lie in decay
She cries every morning, make it all go away
Going under
I'm not going under
Going under
I'm not going under
Going under
I'm not going under
But all I know is I've lost all my faith
Stay with me for one more night
I just want this to end
(Stay with me)
Stay with me here by my side
'Cause I just need a friend
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
(I need to sleep)
Deep in the bosom of the gentle night
Is when I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle and fight dark forces in the clear moonlight
Without fear
Insomnia
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry, thought I was going mad in a hurry
Gettin' stressed, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia, please release me and let me dream
Of makin' mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearin' off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I toss and turn without cease
Like a curse, open my eyes, rise like yeast.
At least a couple of weeks
Since I last slept, kept takin' sleepers
But now I keep myself pep
Deeper still, the night
I write by candlelight, I find insight
Fundamental movement
So when it's black
This insomnia takin'-original-tack(?)
Keep the beast in my nature
Under ceaseless attack... I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I can't get no sleep
I need to sleep, I can't get no sleep
Tears of sorrow, tears of joy
Oh come at once for the sweetest boy
(nobody knows)
That's the price that the boy has paid
To choose not to be afraid
That's the price that the girl has paid
Oh for all the promises she made
(y'look pretty good)
She is triple hep 'n' blue
She'll never ever know what's true
Fallout of love
It's the fallout of love
(what you want and you need)
Do right, they do wrong, they understand
That they're never ever ever ever gonna win
These are the better times
(oh yeah darlin'!)
I'm a hetero-genius
I wanna testify (oooh)
But she does it but she doesn't understand
Faithless now I just got soul (baby)
Ooh look at the girl go (baby)
Oh look at the girl go
She looks so fine (so fine)
Do you do you do (baby)
Do you do you do
(But you looks so good)
Do you do-oh
Do you do
Do you do-oooh
Oh who coulda seen it
(who coulda heard)
Who coulda told them
(who coulda known)
Oh who coulda seen it
(who coulda heard)
Who coulda told them
(who coulda known)
They do it but they never understand
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now
Tears of sorrow, tears of joy
Oh come at once for the sweetest boy
(nobody knows)
That's the price that the boy has paid
To choose not to be afraid
Fallout of love
Ow! The fallout, baby, fallout of love
(nobody knows)
The girl is righteous and she understands why
These are the better times
All the boys down at the club
They say "Now she must be something"
I said "You don't know the half of it Jack!"
Serpent king, serpent king, I hate you
"Don't listen to them, my son"
Serpent king, serpent king, I hate you
Feel me now

Here comes a love song
There goes the banister!
Feel me now

Find a plate glass window waiting for you
And you and you
Ohhh
Here comes a love song
There goes a banister
Find a plate glass window waiting for you
Feel me now
Feel the pain

What do you feel?
Tell me now
Tell me now
Wont you feel me now?
Wont you feel the pain?
Feel me now (x 2)
won't you feel me now?
Wont you feel the pain?
Wait a minute
Here comes a love song
binds to the skin
they're the same
neither sun nor sand
tubes to the mouth
cannot laugh or sigh
or even cry
a drop in the ocean
a second and all time
one stop in the endless sky
but you mean
the whole world to me
you're an island of light
so please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
stay one more day
stay one more
stay one more
stay one more day
just one more
just one more
just one more day
all this madness around us
you are no one
and so still
you were made in love
grew in hope
were born in pain
you left them running round
trying to make you breath again
one tiny link
in and endless chain
but you mean
the whole world to me
you're an island of light
so please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
So in in future lifetimes
It's a certainty
That we'll again
Fit together perfectly
So in in future lifetimes

You're the sun to me
You're the sun to me
You're the sun to me
You're the sun to me

You're the sun to me
I stumbled into you
Accidentally
And yet
Feels as though you were
Sent to me...
That we were meant to be
Together and grow with
Each other
Through the centuries
If my body was your mirror
You'd be able to see
Exactly
What it is about you
That I'm addicted to
Helplessly you distract me
Like a mountain view of
Rivers crashing into the sea
Strangely
You all seem familiar to me
Would so, love tie us
Together through eternity
So in future lifetimes
It's a certainty
We will again
Fit together perfectly
You're the sun to me

That makes me shiver
You give me a soul fever
And I achieve
A new level of grace
So in future lifetimes
It's a certainty
We will again
Fit together perfectly
Perfectly

You're the sun to me

I'm the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we cart them around everywhere
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say bring together the lines of me.
When I look back over the years
at the things that brought tears to my eyes
papa said we have to be wise
to live long lives
now i recognise
what my father said before he died
vocalise things I've left unsaid
left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family
Where i can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestry
Givin' me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
would you rather I quit
come with the other shit
making people's hips sway
lip service I pay but i'm nervous
i pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
like a lifeline I write lines cause my compassion is deep
for the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
and this is who i happen to be
and if I don't see that I'm strong then I won't be
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
for my culture
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hello Dad, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be.
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I've been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, that's right my name's Rob
I'm the one who landed the popstars job
I'm the one who you told : look, don't touch
I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much.
I believe in the sense of sight and sound
I have always been too loud
wont you help me drown it out?
I'm what I feel
what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a mess of spinnin' wheel's always digging in my heels.
Now I got the faith to
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hah, lace up your boots
Going back to your roots continue my interlude
Freak freaking for loot
And my spell's been to check what your future brings is now
and your forefathers further know How
but now what happened to the world without the hatred
Use your head if the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by birth
spreading the lords word over this broad earth
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he told me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again (For my culture)
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
North Star
Where are you
Come guide me home
This love
Wont end
If I see you soon
I cant turn night to day
I can explain it
Oh please
North star, come bring me home
Its been a long time coming
But its well worth waiting
And I raise my hands
And ask for nothing more
If we are of the same mind, finally
It was worth the calamity of you being mad at me
U know i've got feelings too they come stealing through
And batter me properly revealing my sensitivity
We don't get this time for free
Take my hand and promise me your love and honesty
And this soliloquy would not have been in vain
On our journey of life lets take the slow train
(its been a long time coming)
Waiting for the train
(its well worth waiting)
Take my hand
(and I raise my hands)
We don't get this time for free
(and ask for nothing more)
Hey.
Its been a long time coming
But its well worth waiting
And I raise my hands
And ask for nothing more
(doooddddooooooooddddooooooooooo... - sounds)
L... O...N... G... time coming... (Echo sound effects)
Its been a looooooooong time coming...
MARGHERITA
L'altra notte in fondo al mare
Il mio bimbo hanno gittato,
Or per farmi delirare dicon ch'io
L'abbia affogato.
L'aura è fredda,
Il carcer fosco,
E la mesta anima mia
Come il passero del bosco
Vola, vola, vola via.
Ah! Pietà di me!
In letargico sopore
E' mia madre addormentata,
E per colmo dell'orrore dicon ch'io
L'abbia attoscata.
L'aura è fredda,

Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance
Doesn't matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
For the love of that girl
Greed's all gone now, the panic subsides
When I could run, pulling arms to love her
Try to put myself on on the inside
[--chorus--]
--for the love of that girl
--tears swell, you don't know why
--for the love of that girl
--they never fall, they can never run dry
--for the love of that girl
Promise is never over, never questioned it needed reply
But she could breathe deep into my neck
Let me know I'm just on the outside
(chorus)
Greed's all gone now, there's no question
And I can see you push your hair behind your ears
Regain your balance
Doesn't matter where she is tonight
Or with whoever she spends her time
If these arms were meant to hold her
They were never meant to hold her so tight
I was with my girlfriend
This is [? ? ] florida
She took me to this place
It had al kind of things growing
She gave me something
It was a mushroom
She said "eat it", she said.
A mushroom, what is that?
She said "eat it".
I don't think she [? ? ]
She's kind of a wild girl
I don't think she was that wild
So i, I ate the mushroom
And I said "it doesn't taste like much"
She said "wait a minute"
So I waited a minute
I waited a few minutes
- filter -
And the next thing I know, I was walking on clouds
There were beautiful clouds
And my girlfriend was talking to me
While I was walking on the clouds
And everything felt beautiful
I almost felt like I didn't have any feet,
No floor under me
It was beautiful
We looked in each other eyes.
On top of these clouds
And we were talking with each other
With our mouths wide open
And all of a sudden
She let me go
But I didn't fall,
I floated, but I was far away from her.
Until the next thing I know she wasn't there,
Knows by myself.
And I was on gras again
- begin of track 6 -
Very soft gras
I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there.
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
Change around the words that you say to suit me fine
Predictable behavior, I crave ya
I'm driven, you're my only living savior
Sometimes I hate ya, but I'm whipped
Being led head down to the crypt
Restricted like a conscript you loved to bully
I place the blame with you fully
Change around the words that you said to suit me fine
Make them mine
Listen, don't panic
There's only we two left on the planet
I can explain
I know it happened again
It's manic
I'm standing in the flame trying to fan it
You don't know what you got till it's gone
I'm at the edge of the night where nobody belong
Fingers are drumming
And that's where you come in
And that's where you come
Change around the words that you say to suit me fine
Make them mine
Listen to the voice in your head
It makes no sense, take a rest
(I'm addicted)
I have a demon for a wife
He delights in your pretty face and he hates my life
Takes notes on how to provoke past grief
Makes my teeth decay with the last of my self-belief
Feed all day from underneath like a thief
I'm left weak, barely able to speak
I see nothing but constant supply
I can read every look in your eye
I leave with a lie
Maybe our love will never die
Or, maybe it's the last time I make you cry
Make my appeal like the condemned
Let's go away for the weekend
Your life I will steal
And descend with it into the pit
I'm addicted
Change around the words that you say to suit me fine
(I'm addicted)
Listen to the voice in your head
It makes no sense, take a rest
(I'm addicted)
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
I have a little problem
I have a demon for a wife
He delights in your pretty face and he hates my life
Takes notes on how to provoke past grief
Makes my teeth decay with the last of my self-belief
Change around the words that you say to suit me fine
Make them mine
(I'm addicted)
Listen to the voice in your head
It makes no sense, take a rest
(I'm addicted)
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
I'm addicted
What I just to do,
Is of no concern to you,
And your friends.
Where I lay my hand,
May not be my home.
But I will last,
On my own.
'cause it's me,
And my life.
It's my life. (2x)
Whole the world too sad.
In the palm of my hand,
Not that you see.
And I'm tired and bored,
Of waiting for you,
And all those things,
You never do.
'cause it's me,
And my life.
Deep in the buzzem of the gentle night
Is where I search for the light
Pick up my pen and start to write
I struggle a fight
Dark forces in the clear moonlight without fear
Insomnia.
I can't get no sleep
I used to worry
Thought I was going mad in a hurry
Getting stress, making access,
mess in darkness, no electricity
Something's all over me
Greasy Insomnia please release me
And let me dream of making mad love to my girl on the heath
Tearing off tights with my teeth
But there's no release, no peace
I often return without sees
Like a curse
Open my eyes and rise like yeas
At least.
A couple of weeks since I last slept
Kept, taking sleepers,
But now I keep myself pep
Deeper still
The night, I write by candle light
I find inside
Fundamental movement
So when it's black
This insomniac
Take an original tack
Take the beast in my nature under ceaseless attack
I gets no sleep
I can't get no sleep
Dido:
'bout a month ago,
I've never seen your face,
I've never heard your voice,
'bout a month ago.
I'm a careful hunter,
and I have to say,
before I found your love,
'bout a month ago.
For you my boy are the flowerstand man,
you brought such color to this place.
For you my boy are the flowerstand man,
with you I lay back.
I don't care if every river runs so dry,
I don't care if every species words and die,
I don't care about the [?],
I wouldn't notice if it wasn't there,
Oh no...
I don't care if we sell, go to Africa,
I don't care about a part tie,
I wouldn't notice if the park get better,
I don't care about the stuffen who've die.
Oh my boy when, oh, when you live in me,
I don't care 'bout anything but you.
Oh my boy when, oh, when you live in me,
I don't care 'bout anything but you.
Take me home... (3x)
I know a girl who warns of the dangers of love
All the pain and the anguish, the sorrow that it brings
She keeps herself in a world that's protected
Her outsides are tough
But inside her heart longs to sing
Chorus:
Don't let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
He's gonna get his girlfriend's name tattooed on his neck
And hope he never, never lives to regret
He's gonna walk down that long dark alley
And what he finds there you know he'll never forget
Chorus:
Don't let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
They're crashing down now, you might fall in love
I remember a time I believed
That the words love and pain were both one in the same
I'm gonna trade in my old ways for a new shot at life
I'm gonna change, change my direction
I'm gonna change my ways
Chorus:
Don't let your walls down
You might fall in love, you might fall in love
They're crashing down now
It's you I'm thinking of, it's you I'm thinking of
You might fall in love; it's you I'm thinking of
We might fall in love
Watch me ride...
Take my words and the bass,
Taste, and then swallow me,
I'm chasing the devil
Cos you're level if you follow me
For quality, and I make no apology
For linking my thinking with computer technology.
Cos this is like a modern day hymn
For the new church,
I search for the truth,
I've got a hole in my tooth,
I'm Uncouth, yes sir,
I'm from the street university
Where we learn to earn even in times of adversity.
And I will find the easy way out of a hard time
Petty crime sometime,
But now I'm inclined to find
a fresh direction,
check out the funky section.
Cos this is the part where I start to rip up words,
A comfort coming straight from my heart,
I'm not a mystic, my views are realistic, simplistic,
One special brew I get pissed quick,
And get sick so I don't do it no more,
I won't find peace of mind
Rolling around on the floor.
The point I want to make,
Is you can never escape from your fate,
The mistake is to take without givin',
From within,
You know how I'm living,
I'm cool, I'm looking after myself,
And I could never place wealth before my spirit,
I feel it's unhealthy,
The devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy
'Till you get bold, rush the gold,
And before you're much older,
You're soul is sold, where's it getting ya,
Competition starts sweating ya,
Gold-diggers setting you up,
Soon be forgetting your existence,
Do you need a for instance,
I have to admire your persistence
In sticking to a game plan,
That brings you pain man,
And at the end of the day nothing is gained,
So listen to the voice within,
I'll see ya later,
Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator.
Quiet, still, you feel there's nothing going on
Until you realise the space behind your eyes
Is filling up with something like peace
As your thoughts cease and
Pleasure grows in your soul.
I ain't a Christian, sometimes
I feel like dissing em, but listen
I'm just trying to tell ya what I know
If you would once relax, chill to the max
These words on wax will cause sweet bells
To ring in your soul.
If I say God is alive I know you wanna know why
Babies die, food don't grow, why trains smash, planes crash
Situation mash and slam bam your fellow man
Money's in fashion, huh, it ain't rational,
Because dam it, he didn't just give us the planet
And its wealth, deep inside your soul he left a piece of himself
The lord is in here. His voice is small.
You keep lying and trying,
Denying the call from inside
You can't hide responsibility
So decide from today just how it's going to be,
Thou shalt have no other god but me,
He can set you free see,
But you have to listen,
And who's that false idol
I see you kissing?
Money, success and untold wealth, good health
And all you have to do is love yourself.
It's a fact you'll attract all the things that you lack,
So just chill
And get off the racetrack
And take a pace back, face facts,
It's your decision,
You don't need eyes to see,
You need vision,
Continue to view the lord as being separated
And you'll be living a lie that's being perpetrated,
For many centuries, I'm on a mission,
These facts in my rap,
I don't sing,
But I want to share the peace that they bring,
My name is G.O.D.
He's a dirty old man,
And a dirty old man,
He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine.
I'm a dirty old man?
My life is cold,
I'll chill you to the bone,
Heart of stone,
Have a care,
You know my breath stinks,
I leave shit everywhere,
So be aware ?
Don't you dare try appealing to my better nature,
You better wait, you're misinformed,
Ain't nothing warm about me,
? concrete clay and steel,
And what else is real?
I mean the actual deal,
People seem to love living under my skin,
Some of them call me London,
I'm also known as New York.
Anywhere in the world you find me
I talk the same bad talk,
Walk the same walk from side to side,
You're transparent to me,
There ain't a thing you can hide,
Derive glamour from the stamina it takes to survive.
Now give me your cash and go
Before you're heart brakes,
You're living under my wing
And all you got I'm going to take,
I'm a dirty old man.
He's a dirty old man and a dirty old man,
He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine.
I'm a rough old man beyond heart ache,
To improve my mood I could use an earthquake,
I sit awake for my people to release the pain,
So I can know peace again
In my skin, sin deceit and mistrust soaked in,
I think I might just ?
Often drops of woe, streets flow with tears,
I fall down all around your ears.
If I could, if I was made of wood start a fire, no lie,
'Cause I wouldn't bet on people changing just yet
My eyes are wet and my heart is full of fear and regret,
Watch me ride:
I'm a sexual animal, eat you like a cannibal,
Crammed full of energy,
I'm inflammable,
Yeah, I finish my beer
So come here and get nice while I lick you here,
Put your legs over there and kind of swing on the chair,
I swear you look wicked with your panties in your hair,
Eyes half closed,
Cute little nose,
And like a pound of self-raising I just rose and rose,
Stepped out of my clothes started doing the right thing,
I was pumping and she was biting,
Yeah, lightning flashed and thunder roared,
The girl had her finger on my keyboard,
Oh lord, this is gonna last all night,
If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right.
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
If I come first well that's the worse scenario,
I push you harder than Sanchez Vicario,
I mean it, 20th Century Fox on the screening,
One take like an earthquake make the bed brake,
We be famous worldwide overnight
And get tired of magazine articles we're forced to write.
I take a delight in making the bed springs sing all night,
If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right.
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
I give a massage,
Skin supercharge,
Imagination on turbo situation large,
Sometimes you handle me kinda course,
Like a horse, the bed ??
?? keep from flying.
I got my teeth in her neck...
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
Quiet...
Still...
You feel there's nothing going on
Until you release
The space behind your eyes
Is filling up with something like peace
Your thoughts seize
Pleasure grows in your soul
The space behind your eyes
Is filling up with something like peace
Your thoughts seize
Pleasure grows in your soul
Running with my rain face on
Today I woke up feeling sad
I know that you said,
That one day I would be glad
Hold the Choirs of Winter,
The Birds are calling to me and
All the leaves I came to love are falling
Ribbons on evergreen, owls that pull them apart
I can hear you singing my funny valentine
Oh you know that breaks my heart
Hold the choirs of winter,
The Birds are calling to me and
All the leaves I came to love
Oh you know that breaks my heart
Oh you know that breaks my heart
Running with my rain face on
No Idea of what to say
No idea of who to do
In this fear that never goes
Waiting for all my dreams
Oh you know it breaks my heart
Hold the Choirs of Winter,
The Birds are calling to me and
All the leaves I came to love
Oh you know it breaks my heart
Oh you know it breaks my heart
How can I change the world if I can't even change myself?
I cannot change the way I am?
I don't know, I don't know.
I take a look at the world behind these eyes,
Every nook, every cranny reorganize,
Realize my face don't fit the way I feel.
What's real?
I need a mirror to check my face is in place,
Incase of upheaval, fundamental movement below,
What's really going on I want to know,
But yo, we don't show on the outside, so slide.
Just below my skin I'm screaming...
I need a mirror for my spirit,
Yeah, can you feel it?
When I get deep, want to hear myself sleep,
Not drowning, tumbling around and around in the voices
Like a crowd in my head so loud,
I wonder what it's like to be dead,
I hope it's quiet, noise in my head like a riot,
Any remedy you have for me I'll try it.
Just below my skin I'm screaming...
I'm going deep, so deep that I can't sleep,
The pills ain't cheep but the bills are steep,
So I ? with a booze and a spiff,
Try to snooze,
But who's dreaming, this is win or loose,
Put down the drink, try not to think,
Let it go, fundamental movement below,
And yo, reality is dreaming,
Fields of fire that passed the train
The sky is victorious but here comes the rain
Friday is taking me home again,
And I've nothing but you on my mind.
Grass is greener without the pain,
I think that I'm changing but I'm just the same
My sun is a ascending again
And I've nothing but you on my mind
Sometimes I feel like I'm glad to be free,
Sometimes I still want your arms around me
Sometimes I'm glad to have left you behind,
The Crazy English Summer has put you back on my mind.
Life's a riot a lover a friend,
Pity the day that it has to end
Friday come speed me home again,
I've nothing but you on my Mind.
Sometimes I feel like i'm fine on my own,
Fifty Thousand miles from home.
Sometimes I'm weak and the past is my guide,

Oh, smack, there goes my baseball cap I'm on the floor,
I think I took a burse to my jaw,
Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four,
I never see my hat no more.
Oh, smash. There goes my baseball cap,
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
I can't get it back.
Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap,
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
I can't get it back.
14 years old and hard to the core,
I'm walking home making plans for war,
My hands was cut, my uncle says 'what's up?'
Let me guess, your clothes are in a mess, you're in distress,
Sit down, take five and let me look at your knees,
Your still alive son, please take it easy
Sometimes you have to let the world know you're not bluffing,
But enough is enough, don't loose your life over nothing,
Scuffling in the street is no way to die,
And I don't want to have to meet your mama's eye,
So try and listen hard before you fall into the trap
Of making war over a baseball cap.
Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap,
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
I can't get it back.
Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap,
It's gone, gone, gone, gone,
I put my trust in technology
now I'm doubting we will ever reach our goal
all ambition is now finally lost
I'm no longer prepared to pay the cost
every dream, hope anticipation
that we used to share
was it all for nothing
were we fools to believe?
faceless - enter the dead zone
With all our hopes and dreams answered
Are we not lost
With nothing driving us forward
We count the cost
How can we, not believe in ourselves
We let our lives fade away
Still we're far we're far from faithless
And we trust to guide us on
We still believe that, we still believe that we belong
Still we long we long for days when
We can trust we are not wrong
We still believe that, we still believe that we belong
Stay strong and let honor guide you, this can't be wrong
Make no mistake of our meaning this is our call
Let the hopeless let them be renewed.
Let weakness fall
Still we're far we're far from faithless
And we trust to guide us on
We still believe that, we still believe that we belong
Still we long we long for days when
We can trust we are not wrong
We still believe that, we still believe that we belong
How can we not believe in ourselves
Don't let our lives fade away
Let hope be renewed
Let weakness fall
Still we're far we're far from faithless
And we trust to guide us on
We still believe that, we still believe that we belong
Still we long we long for days when
We can trust we are not wrong
If you place a thing into the center of your life
That lacks the power to nourish
It will eventually poison everything that you are
And destroy you
A simple a thing as an idea
Or your perspective on yourself of the world
No one can be the source of your contempt,
It lies within, in the center.
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Don't let nothing ride you.
If the sun or the moon should keel away to die,
They would immediately go out .

Swallow don't make a sound,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere.
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This Child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
When there's no where, left to run to
Let me come to you, let me help you down
For when the world, gives you tomorrow
Your gonna learn to live again
We can learn to go,
Oh learn as we go
Just to live, for the day
I know it's hard, to live for the moment
Just try, anyway
Newspapers, Lion Tamers, This Child,
Lion Tamers, Lion Tamers
A mans life got took away in the city today, they say
But never tell how many's been born
Inform us of a top notch surgeon's mistake
But not the many lives he's saved before
Show us starving kids through expensive lenses
On a far and distant shore
Of which, when sold, could feed a good few
Hey mister rich - Why don't you help the poor
Bad news, sad news, never no good news
S'all they print and beam
Make a child believe that there ain't no love
Well hey, love lives on my street.
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed
Back up from the crap and the desert of dying sons
Me I'm trying to come to terms and learn as one
Way to display the way I'm feeling, I need healing
From the floor to the ceiling,
But I'm not gonna sit n' die while time ticks by
I gotta get up, stand up, before I break up into pieces
Iron out the creases,
Find out what peace is.
I've got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices -
Empty vessels of dreams so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and market place
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and market place
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
could you be lost
are you so free, do you long to be
you know it's such a mystery how you washed up over me
and i couldn't speak, i couldn't breathe, lest i drown
but it's my kind
i'll never be cruel and i'll always play the fool
to be as loveless, as shameless as you.
but i'm so blind
i'll do it again i feel your eyes sink in
so faithless as you've been.
yes i'm so lost
i am not free but i long to be
when life goes down, do you fell as though you're gonna drown
Welcome once again
to the ceremony
briefly
this is my testimony
I see genius in everybody
to perceive it in yourself
is the difficulty
where you come from
really makes no difference to me
whether a country
or just another lonely city
like a lotus
you possess the ability
to produce flower and fruit
simultaneously
(3x Refrain)
so drop your pebble
in the mainstream
start a ripple
it will buzz you
like a tweak on your nipple
tickle your sensibility
speak just a little
your words have enough weight to turn rock to metal.
I see genius and everybody
to perceive it in yourself
is the difficulty
but your individuality
overflows the quality
it manifests solubly
if you believe
(2x Refrain)
so drop your pebble
in the mainstream
start a ripple
it will buzz you
like a tweak on your nipple
tickle your sensibility
speak just a little
your words have enough weight to turn rock to...
My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
The skin under my chin is exploding again
I'm getting stress from some other children
I'm holding it in.
We taking sides like a politician
And if I get friction, we get to fighting
I defend my dad, he's the best of all men
And whatever he's doing, he's doing the right thing
It's frightening, but it makes me mad
Why do all these people seem to hate my dad
And if that aint enough now I got these spots
I go to sleep every night with my stomach in knots
And what's more, I can hear momma next door
Explore the radio for reports of war
And all we ever seem to do
Is hide the tears
Seem like daddy been gone for years
But he was right
Now I'm geared up for the fight
And he would be proud of me
If my daddy come home tonight
Listen me calmly
Whether long range weapon or suicide bomber
Wicked mind is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether you're soar away sun or BBC 1
Disinformation is a weapon of mass destruc
You could a Caucasian or a poor Asian
Racism is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether inflation or globalization
Fear is a weapon of mass destruction
Whether Halliburton or Enron or anyone
Greed is a weapon of mass destruction
We need to find courage, overcome
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
My story stops here, lets be clear
This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight
I'm the sum total of my ancestors
I carry their DNA
We are representatives of a long line of people
And we cart them around everywhere
This long line of people
That goes back to the beginning of time
And when we meet - they meet other lines of people
And we say bring together the lines of me.
When I look back over the years
at the things that brought tears to my eyes
papa said we have to be wise
to live long lives
now i recognise
what my father said before he died
vocalise things I've left unsaid
left my spirit unfed for too long
I'm coming home to my family
Where i can be strong
Be who I planned to be
Within me my ancestry
Givin' me continuity
Would it be remiss to continue in this way
would you rather I quit
come with the other shit
making people's hips sway
lip service I pay but i'm nervous
i pray for all the mothers who get no sleep
like a lifeline I write lines cause my compassion is deep
for the people who fashioned me my soul to keep
and this is who i happen to be
and if I don't see that I'm strong then I won't be
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he taught me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
for my culture
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hello Dad, remember me?
I'm the man you thought I'd never be.
I'm the boy who you reduced to tears
Dad I've been lonely for 27 years
Yeah, that's right my name's Rob
I'm the one who landed the popstars job
I'm the one who you told : look, don't touch
I'm the kid who wouldn't amount to much.
I believe in the sense of sight and sound
I have always been too loud
wont you help me drown it out?
I'm what I feel
what I'm feeling is surreal
I'm a mess of spinnin' wheel's always digging in my heels.
Now I got the faith to
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
water to air
you're on your feet again
your feet again.
Hah, lace up your boots
Going back to your roots continue my interlude
Freak freaking for loot
And my spell's been to check what your future brings is now
and your forefathers further know How
but now what happened to the world without the hatred
Use your head if the needle is wise be the thread
And weave ancestral wisdom yours by birth
spreading the lords word over this broad earth
This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more
than he did
But he told me my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
to my sweet grandfathers face
in his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
everything my forefathers earned in tears
for my culture
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again (For my culture)
Fall back again
Crawl from the warm water
Water to air
You're on your feet again
Your feet again
For my culture.
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls and a roof, electricity, stable mind, wife and child
Hot and cold water to run anytime but still you whine
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king on just one crumb of ya cake
And ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine like your possessions do
Whining, complaining all the time don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What do ya mean
I want more
Yep
I was told as a child
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you
Ain't got no reason to be down
What do ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What do ya mean
I want more
Yep
What do ya mean
I want more
Yep
the lights are dimmed
everyone's so, so quiet
hoping for a sign
speak to me
speak to me
please tell me why
why did you have to leave me?
wind blowing, table shatters
now we are in darkness
i think i can hear you calling
speak to me
speak to me
please tell me why
why did you have to leave me?
speak to me
don't go yet, you've not answered
all i want to know
don't go yet, you've not answered
all i want
to know
Hey,
She's wicked, delightful, bright and spiteful,
Not to be trifled with mid-cycle (?)
She may be slight but she can be frightful
Known to fire lovers in a quiet disciple
Side of her full thighs eyes makes my blood pound around (?)
And I can't hear nothing but the rushing sound
Face down, [...] on the crown of my head
Bound tight to an idea that drags me down
And I'ma never be found inside of sense again
The phone ring and I have no defense again
Intense to end all intensity
My propensity may be the death of me
You see
Propensity may be the death of me
You see...
Hey,
I'm in love with another man's woman
Cancerous what I'm doing
Didn't plan for this
Never before felt so amorous
Or frightened of people with cameras
Anybody who stands with us
Will be damned with us
Head stuck in the sand with us
Others abandon us
Even friends telling me I will never be believed again
And what's scandalous
Not a trace of remorse, even then,
Even when all my floors are exposed
Still showed (?) the shed clothes on the floor again
And again, and again...
And again, and again...
Hey,
My world has contracted end to end
My friends are subtracted
The only feeling is a numbness
Waiting for the phone to ring
Start my heart to beating (?)
The blood in my veins seen (?)
If it's not you I just resume my pacing (?)
Up and down, frustrated [...]
I can't [...] the way I'm aching
Till I get my fix my body won't quit shaking
Check the telephone connection, make sure it's working
[...] tear my skin (?)
People keep knocking but they can't come in
It's like the walls of my mind are falling in
And all I can think about is more linen
On my bed all day I ignore women offering a path way from affliction
But I'm in love with my addiction
You see...
People keep knocking but they can't come in...
You live two lives and never think about your actions
Who is the one you try to please?
Yourself. With no reguard for anyone
Who is the one you try to please?
Feel glass against your face
Hopless for this moment
You cry out for help.
He has been watching all along
This is a call to the faithful,
These are recording, recording, recording
Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets
I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear
Your heart is in my province hour upon hour
I shiver when you feel the cold
Everything you say I hear
Like a bomb and it's fuse
We bring bright light
But I could be a Devil to you
I could bite like a Tarantula
Right through the skin
And leave my poison dream
Deliciously unsuspecting
Protecting you from all harm
Except perhaps from reasons
From reasons
[Chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb [fade]
And when you lock [fade]
Just think of those
out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round.
[Maxi Jazz]
Until you wake up
You people need a shake up
You take up so much time
Worrying, Scurrying,
Here, there,
Losing your hear
No money to spare
No love to share
No wonder you appear under pressure from here
You look fresh, yeah
But all I got is dirt in my hear
My nightmares manifest,
But I can escape
Yours is in your chest
With no formal shape
The tape is running
I push the button to send
Upon each other we all depend
Message end
Whoever asks my name
Or where I came from
People fear contamination
If they chary too long
I carry a strong
Sin of despair
It's in the air
I'm broken and hard to repair
I may mistaken be
But I patiently wait
On the pad to humanity
I sit at the gates
[Chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
[Maxi Jazz]
Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul,
Down the river
My liver in bad condition
Like my skin
Rain falling, once again
I'm in my bed
Hurt the time in
I'm gonna struggle for air
There's hair in my food
When I get it usually someone already half ate it
Touch it, not to let it
Get me down
But my head starting to pad
People go round, and round and round
From one I get a cigarette
A little more love found
But the ground is still wet
My chief are chattering
And there's a spattering of seeds
Sometimes I lose all feeling in my feet
When I sleep I'll do my deep in the mainstream
But unaccountably my heart was growing
Small and mean
A hurry past
Ridged people I pretend I haven't seen
But there's money in my pocket
And my clothes are clean?
[Maxi Jazz 4x]
I said money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
Money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
[Chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls n' a roof, electricity,
Stable mind, wife and child,
Hot and cold water to run anytime.
But still you, whine.
I want more
A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king
On just one crumb o'ya cake
N'ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine
Like your possessions do.
Whining, complaining all the time,
Don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew
What d'ya mean
I want more
I was told as a child,
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you,
Ain't got no reason to be down
What d'ya mean
I want more
Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time.
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross,
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours,
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel,
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel,
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift
What d'ya mean
I want more
What d'ya mean
I want more
Should you hear somebody cry,
"The end is nigh",
Don't you buy that line.
Tomorrow's always yesterday
Love's yet to have it's day and you've got all the time
Planes crashing, trains crashing people dropping bombs,
Nothing new, what go come around now
Child it won't be long.
Keep keeping up,
Everything will be alright tomorrow
Keep keeping
Hey you yeah you don't let it get to you, stressing you
It's what they want you to do,
Smile a while even though it hurts
Even though it hurts
Come on let them know they'll be no breaking you
Love's gonna come around again,
And again and again and on,
Nothing new that go come around now
child it won't be long.
Keep keeping up,
Everything will be alright tomorrow
My baby was born in a bed
With white sheets, machines and heat
Traveled home in a car to a three room nest, eats and sleeps
Laminate flooring to crawl on, TV,
Talks, starts to walk, amongst love and security.
Goes to school, learns to read and write
Probably follows a team with his friends
And gets to ride the train,
Fall in love, probably fly on a plane
Get to work all week and spend what he earns
On the high street
He's got doctors, nurses, fireman, churches,
Kindergarten, wedding bells and jet black hearses
Passport, bankcard, maybe his own yard
Locks and alarms, trinkets and charms,
Maybe a baby in his arms
My baby was born on his knees
One of poverty 's offspring
Came into the world coughing,
Already full of mother's disease
Went back to a flat, with no gas, no cash,
Rapped in a duvet full of cigarette ash,
Mama can't get no sleep,
Baby never quite get enough to eat.
Goes to school, learns to steal and fight,
Probably form a team with his friends,
Go steam those trains
Fall in love and never trust nobody again
I want more
I want some
And then some
And do you know what I wanna hear?
I want more
I want some more
And then some
I want more
You know how I love that stuff
I want more
I want more
I want more
The waiting's been so long, so long.
I want more
Been so long
I want more
More oneness, less categories,
Open hearts, no strategies.
Decisions based upon faith and not fear.
People live right now and right here.
I want the wisdom that wise men revere.
I got it sleepin' rough on the streets in the rain
I got it learning to share my people's pain
I got it makin' flowers, growin' hearts of stone
I got it 'cause I always took the long way home
I got it sleepin' rough on the streets in the rain
I got it learning to share my people's pain
My love has gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go
(Loop of Erik Satie, as in Pet Shop Boys' Jack The Lad)
New York, New York, temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops
I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through
Florida's out
We fly September 22 to Heathrow,
but there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin' you know I miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Please, send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Honey, I'm writin' from D.C., feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The TM recommends an antigen
One of them could resist again
I miss you like a lock in the door
What's more, I go to sleep with my Walkman
'cause half the crew snored
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great,
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So I stay up late with a tape, or meditate
My bed is travellin' at fifty-five m.p.h.
When we make it to LA, I'll still be miles away
It's not my best day
I'm a get some rest, God bless
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(has has has ...)
(wo wo)
We just stopped a diner so I'm takin' time to write a few lines
I'm fine, sunshine, the bus driver's
reclinin' by the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin' with the flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen
As for us, there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs, yet we're only in our third state
America's big, you'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I can gain weight
Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware
Open air, there's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there
Anyway, all my love, God bless, I'm yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
No earthly ships will ever
Love is you
My TV barks at me, from the corner
Life on the street is like a sauna, it's too hot.
Put bars around what you've got,
And the whole city lucky that we ain't been shot.
We got full blown decent into argument
Here we go.
Times to overthrow the parliament, so
In these struggled times
I wanna know, do you
Make a stand or just follow the flow
Even though, you know y' leaders are fullup of ego
Do we go where the others go and lay low
Only moving on someone elses say so
I say no!
What's in my heart is unexplainable
I ain't a fool
And happiness is attainable
And even on the days when rain will fall
I still plan to love and I always will
It's a calling from when I rise in the morning
This is a love we were born in
Ya tap it and it just keep coming and coming and coming
Love is you, love is us, love is ...
Hmm. It's a powerful thing that can make a man sing
And bring people together with strength of feeling
Now, be connected from the floor to ceiling
Ecuador to Beijing become all the same thing
Like a movement, love too strong to deny
Born to fly but we stay grounded and I don't know why
We have a powerful tool, no need to cry
With it you separate the truth from a lie
The point I wanna make,
Is you could never escape from your fate,
The mistake is to take without giving.
So, break the tradition.
Make a decision, cause no matter how hard you try
You're still in prison,
If ya born with wings and you never fly
Listen, you don't stop,
Especially when the going gets rough.
That's when it's real
And I love that stuff,
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed
Beg you listen me, don't be kissing me 'til I'm done
Unsung champion, reason, like seasoning
Pepper your thoughts with spice, and entice you to a space
Where I dwell with bass players and layers and loops
Think what I think with my prayers. It's nice. My world is everything I've become
Contained in the hum between voice and drum
I'm coming from the same place I'm still running from
Hey, nicknamed Fatty Boo with a name Lisa
She no have no boyfriend, she live up the fridge freezer
Triple chin or facial hair, she favor geezer
Although she friend recommend, certain cream and tease her
She favorite tipple is Bacardi Breezer
Claim she 31 but no one believe her
Love randomer restaurant with she friend Anita
You should meet her, Anita's another big eater
Slipped disc for the waiter then there's always a feature
When they run go carrying food for them two creature
One night she come so much rice she nearly have a seizure
Fall off she chair, licked she head and catch amnesia
Wake up in A and E and bellows she want pizza
(Give me food, ya)
Doctors quickly sign paper and release her
(One time)
Cough, 'nough police to police her
Fatty Boo you better pray nobody sees ya
(This time)
Be careful of the things that you do
Say now you got plenty but the plenty could be few
This is my chance to shout it in other avenue
Say don't you be a sinner, don't you keep all for you, yeah
I said a long time no you start warm as a ripple
Every little dime, every nickel, you are trouble
Watch you're little head, Fatty Boo
And give the dog a bone that could never be for you
Nicknamed Fatty Boo but we call her Mel life
Changed forever when she discovered channel
Now she has a mind to buy designer apparel
She no, favor gazelle but she bounced like hell
Whenever she spya something to die for on the fashion channel
(17 breezer, choom)
And one like Tinker Bell, fatty, big like two church bell in parallel
Cats walk and Mel never match up too well
But fatty was saucy, couldn't be told
She loved margo with her big nick, drifling the cold
She even bolder than the skinny girls, shoulder less
(They're mine)
And admired everywhere from her openness
Microphone check 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2
Be careful of the things that you do
Say now you got plenty but the plenty could be few
This is my chance to shout it in other avenue
Say don't you be a sinner, don't you keep all for you
Yeah, I said a long time no you start warm as a ripple
Every little dime, every nickel, you are trouble
Watch you're little head, fatty boo
And give the dog a bone that could never be for you
Be careful of the things that you do
Say now you've got plenty but the plenty could be few
Yeah, I said a long time no you start warm as a ripple
Watch you're little head Fatty Boo
And give the dog a bone that could never be for you
Be careful of the things that you do
Say now you got plenty but the plenty could be few
This is my chance to shout it in other avenue
Say don't you be a sinner, don't you keep all for you
Yeah, I said a long time no you start warm as a ripple
Every little dime, every nickel, you are trouble
Watch you're little head, Fatty Boo
And give the dog a bone that could never be for you
Finally Fatty Boo you stood with me in '73
Saturday night playing the music at my father's party
6 records on the changer often with Dan Settee
Still your gram 6 years old and I'm the man
Steady with calypso to start then play reggae
One thousand bolts of holts, huh, for everybody
In the days when R&B; meant Arthur Conrey
Otis Reading, Booker T and the MG's
Every, little piece of attention as we tried to squeeze
From the father, his friends and their families
Sometime deliberately tease with the tune that won't please
And the whole room reaction set my young heart at ease
It used to be black suits and shirts with skinny ties
And they was wise and funny and funny and wise
Staying up late and playing the music
With grown ups was my prize
The little fat kid with sparkling eyes
I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
Another train leavin' home,
conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack,
settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
Not cover my mistakes,
try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
The last thing you hear before your life disappear
Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,
feel like I've been cursed.
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock,
this place is like a padlock
You look shocked.
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near,
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell
I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found,
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
of syringes
J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows,
oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
cage
And write another stage into a new age,
it's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone
Jerome took me home under steel skies
Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies
And he surmised
No surprise couldn't hear that
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
You know that I'm foolish, playing king for a day
I hang with my people whenever I can.
You say that I'm scruffy, misguided and blue,
like a fly on a string.
There's a web that surrounds you, but I will
find a way in.
Yeah, in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will.
Yeah, in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will.
You lay a place at your table, let me sleep in your bed
Yeah you hurt and confused me, but your my queen for a day
I know I'm foolish, harsh and unfair
'Cause in my hour of need, I know you've always been
there
And in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will
In your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will
I'll be there, yes I will
You know that I'm foolish, playing king for a day
I hang with my people whenever I can.
You say that I'm scruffy, misguided and blue,

there
And in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will
In your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will
I'll be there, yes I will
I hope you understand
What fear is before you have to feel it
I hope my neurosis don't rub off on you
I hope you always have enough to eat
I hope you're never bullied
And I hope you never bully others
I hope you find love
I hope you don't die before your time
I hope you don't blame yourself
For things that are not your fault
I hope you're always playing your tape
And I hope you'll visit me when I'm old
I hope you are true to yourself
I hope that rejection doesn't stop you loving
I hope you never experience war
What are you come to teach me?
Well, would you want 'Philosophy'
Or 'The New Wayne Rooney'?
Will it be poetry that lights your eyes?
Mine are shining and my tears flow free
Oh my son, what have I done?
Brought perfection to this world
Of confusion heedlessly
Now you're the one feeding me
Because I never knew love like this
Endlessly reaching back through eternity
That I can clearly see in your face
When you smile at me and grab my finger
I hope you outlive your parents
I hope you never bury your children
I hope you outlive your parents
I hope you never bury your children
I don't mind whether you're a boy or a girl
I just want you to be healthy
I hope we enjoy every minute of you growing up

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye
In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright

This scenario is happening everywhere
And you ain't going to nirvana or farvana
You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously, seriously
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed one the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight

The fear won't go away
It shadows me
Wherever I may roam
What has become of me
The alchemy has left me
Ln a haze
Hung by a rope again
My life cast out
At sea amen
My lack of faith
Has no shame
It is Reckless
And I know
There's no flame
For the Faithless
I fail the polygraph
I can't derail the voice
Inside my head
Here in the aftermath
Now i regret the choice
That I can't shed
There is no compromise
And I don't want to
don't count on government for your security

This night
this belief
suicidal curse
the priest
are screaming in chorus
thirsting
the don't breakup the night
This night
a lonely scream
dies faithful in the moon
the naked wrapped
with thorny grass
three crosses
soiled the dawn
The priest are here
the worship the crosses at dawn
and the sacrifice
becomes the truth
in their hands
One can see the night in the fire
it's a crusade without belief
being strong enough to lift a stone
to lift to the sky
my blood...
Wich is drink in brain pans
it's a drink of lonelyness
the ritual of a crime
my blood
is a joy for the masters
the corpse
the gods food
So fuck my thoughts
rape my dreams
and cut my veins
and drink, drink
We are the light in the dark
In a world where the blind lead the blind
You're the infected spreading the disease
Open your eyes. Reason is the vaccine
You follow the leader
A false figure
Searching for hope
When you know that no one lives forever
Know that we can see through the lies
We are the faithless
Look into my eyes and tell me you believe me
Look me in the eyes and tell me he can save me
We are the faithless (your God is dead)
We are the faithless (your God is dead)
We are the faithless (your God is dead)
You judge us because you fear us
We are the faithless spreading truths of your corrupt disease
