Jamie Smith (known by the stage name Jamie xx) is an English music producer and remix artist, who gained fame both as solo act and as a member of the London-based band The xx.
Smith's musical career began in 2007 when he joined The xx accompanying old school friends Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim, Baria Qureshi of the Elliott School in London, notable for alumni including Hot Chip, Burial and Four Tet. He first used the stage name Jamie xx in July 2009 in a promotional mix for the band's début album xx released on the FACT mix series of the FACT Magazine. The mixtape was compiled by Jamie Smith and featured amongst others four tracks credited to Jamie xx - one own production and three remixes. The xx album went on to become platinum in the UK. Afterward, Jamie Smith went on to do more remix work for artists like Florence + The Machine, Adele, Jack Peñate and Glasser.
In late 2010, a Jamie xx remix of the song "NY Is Killing Me" from Gil Scott-Heron's last album I'm New Here aired on radio stations across the UK and Europe. The remix of "I'll Take Care Of U" followed in January 2011. Both singles drew the attention of the general public and the critics. They set the way for a 13-track remix album entitled We're New Here, produced entirely by Jamie xx and credited to "Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx". The album was released on February 21, 2011 on the XL Records label, but a full album preview could be streamed on the website of The Guardian as early as February 14.We're New Here received positive critical acclaim and was named "masterpiece in its own right" by BBC's Ele Beattie.
[INTRO: Clip from a movie]
"Look around you, you see two cops, uhhhh"
"Couple of off-duty cops and a judge,"
"Now I wouldn't have a second's hesitation about blowin'
off your head right here right now in front of 'em"
"Now that's power you can't buy, that's the power of fear"
[Verse 1:]
Jolly Rancher's my favorite color look at my jewels
Fruit of the Looms in the my bracelet I'm worldwide touring
Alotta diamonds from different places, I'm international
The world trade I'm cuttin' ends on a jet plane
Frozen water in my chain come and ice skate
It's the god the commissioner of the ball game
Better yet I'm cyber ballin' off the internet
The super spender blowin' guaps at the Beverley Center
It's summertime but this ice got me feelin' winter
She's all emotional these bitches gettin' sentimental
I'm sunset two o'clock in the mornin'
Sports coupin' through the traffic it's a strike when I bowl it
I'm a rich nigga, Richmond Cali on my pendant
The south the north and central even hilltop's in it
Never the less I love to move classy, I love to stay jazzy
I just left the Caymans and I'm still acceptin' payments
I blew my firm on it out before the arrainment
Back to the streets my life I couldn't change it
New rims new car see I'm a hood star
Them grown mens is claustrophobic on a suicide
Diamonds cocas hoes and guns
I know the government is after me where should I run
It's a cold game, twenty birds in my cargo
Coachin' cars wid foreign hoes wid the Isotoner
[HOOK: sample]
Won-wonder, are you in control
There's a place, that we dare not go
There's a place, that we dare not go
[Verse 2:]
I'm vacationin' first class so you know I'm still jet planin'
She got my poster on the wall and she glass framed it
I'm a pimp and I'm lookin' for that fast payment
Every flip that you gotta show me is street famous
The first time I sit her down I was in Portland
I'm wid the blades and she thinkin' that I'm corporate
Number one stunna fled away took the coke wid it
Seattle to Vegas California on my license plate
I got a price to pay I'm feelin' kinda nice today
They cameras on me go ahead and let 'em flick away
I'm posin', rims not stolen,
gold Ds and jet skis on the trailers I'm totin' get a job
I'll be flying state to state feelin' higher than God
And alotta things could happen I live my life bizarre
Plus I got the antidote but this might make you alarm
I dust the dirt of my shoulders then traffic the raw
Still moving like a general wid bangers and pendletons
Three wheeling wid cowboy in a '64 living it
Poppin' stunnas wid my stunnas on,
Call me the stunna man,
I gotta make room hoppin' out the stunna van
Alotta different reasons why I act this way
Cause it never cease that I shine they callin' me brightly
Icey Fed-X International to ya country, I know
I probably shouldn'ta trust this hoe
Let's follow dope when I probably shoulda put it on a boat
It all started from the block I used to hustle twenty-four
But now I be in different states they say that I changed
Big rims on my car dog I'm still the same
And uh, I got a way that you can get you some pay
I can front it you can run it long as you stackin' ya hundreds
Cooking coke in the oven now ya hustlin' it was all comin'
You grew up on a hard far from a struggle
[OUTRO:]
There's a place, that we dare not go
..you say enough what would it be
Hard to make it out in front of me
Tonight
Yes I'm on my way out to be dream

No one can shake us ..for good
Look out all of the places we say we would

Playing my heart so many times
There's always a weak hand holding mine
Saying the way that I have said this is the way
Every scene is still the same
Just with a difference faceless name
Falling and breaking, cleaning I am holding on so
This is where my heart is longs to be
Hurting you, needing you
This is where I always want to be
Suffering
Every night you come to see
Beautiful faces playing me
And the fallen lives and crimson walls
Reflect my lines
Breaking through thoughts and mindless games
Your love is a whisper coming clean
And behind the curtains I can see you're not impressed with me
This is where my heart is longs to be
Hurting you, needing you
This is where I always want to be
Suffering
Can you take everything that I hold
Will you wash away just what the past is?
This is where my heart is longs to be
Hurting you, needing you
This is where I always want to be
The sun is up looks like a perfect day
to put our soldiers on a cake parade
we can line them up and march them down the hall
where they can play at guns
and we don't have to look at all
another sailor sleeping well today
another mother misses her lonely son's birthday
his bed is empty not sure where he'd gone
with his all stars
and nirvana t-shirt on
and if we try to raise their memory
you know it makes no difference
they'll send our boys for boot camp fun
and teach them to be men
if the sun could shine
on us always we'd go blind
but for all the rain in sight
you know i wouldn't mind
the sun is gone looks like a perfect day
to put our soldiers in an early grave
we can line them up and lay them on the lawn
with all their purple hearts
and badges of courage on
and if we try to raise their memory
you know it's only second best
to all the boys who never will
who never will be men
if the sun could shine
on us always we'd go blind
but for all the rain in sight
you know i wouldn't mind
if the sun could shine
on us always we'd be fine
and just to see him one more time
you know i wouldn't mind
we'll send you hands of shining stars
so you can fill your pretty globe
and navigate the seashell graves
and safely
find your way home
Verse 1
Let me take you to the stars
And everything will be so small
I can see the light in your eyes
They shine so bright
Shine so bright
Pre-Chorus
I need you
Let me love you
Cause I need you
Chorus
Let me in your heart
And make it a better place for you
I love you
Let me show that I can take you to places
Where you've never been to
Verse 2
You light up my world
You're everything come take my hand
And fly away with me
To another place
To another place
Let me show you
That I'm the one
Take you to plaaces
Where you've never been to
Another place
Another place
Chorus
Let me in your heart
And make it a better place for you
I love you
Let me show that I can take you to places
Places,
I still remember places,
Those precious times and places
When ev'rything was new.
Places,
I still can feel those places.
Our hearts were never lighter,
The sky was twice as blue.
Places,
What's happened to those places?
Though they have changed forever,
I stayed in love with you.
Places,
Do you remember places
Where nothing semmed to matter,
Apart from me and you?
Passion,
Wider than any ocean,
Timeless as any mountain.
We grew closer, we grew wiser,
Ev'ry day, ev'ry day.
Places,
Do you remember places
Where nothing seemed to matter?
I'm still in love with you,
Past love died, as she cried, I saw beauty
Girls wished for boys and scared them away
As I saw beauty
Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright
Scared and cold, now you're old
Time thaws, but you'll break
There's a hole in my soul
How much more will it take?
Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright
My knees keep on shaking from fright, fright, fright
I saw, I saw
And it moved all of the gray aside
I saw, I saw
It moved all of the gray aside
Alright, alright
My feet keep on taking me back, back, back to those places
Alright, alright

Ummm
When I first saw you, I just knew
I had to have you.
And all I need is just one night with you.
Verse 1
[MEELAH]
You're the type that
I dream about in my fantasy.
(I Swear.)
And no reason that we ain't
together far as I can see.
No disrespect to who you came
here with, but this ain't where
I want to be.
So tell your boys they can take
your car you can ride with me.

From the very first time that
I saw your lips boy
I knew you'd be the one.
Tell me can we make love.
(Please)
Chorus
God really made you so fine
I wanna make you all mine.
Where are you from,
where have you been,
baby take me there, you and
I could go places.
There are so many things on my mind,
I should let you hit it just one time.
Where are you from,
where have you been,
baby take me there,
you and I could go places.
Verse 2
[MEELAH]
There's a secret place that I
wanna to take you, but first you got
to get in the mood.

It's a private place only love we're
making and know that we can get
there real soon.
(Shhh)
I bet I bodies make good conversation
without even saying a word.

(Ohh)
Chorus
Bridge
[IRISH]
Hey you, over there, yeah you,

I love my friends, but, this ain't where
I want to be. So let me take you to a
place where, you know we can
both be free.
[MEELAH]
From the very first time that
I saw your lips boy
I knew you'd be the one.
Tell me can we make love.
From the very first time that
I kissed your lips boy
I meet the morning sun.
You're the one I dream of.

let me take you.
Come and feel me baby feel me up,

Places
We move in and out of watching
Faces
Float around the hotel lobby like
Fishes
They're all blowing air
We know it must mean something
But we just stare
We stood
On Primrose Hill like statues we were
So good
Walked along the locks and into
Camden
Tried on silver shoes
And orange plastic jackets
Places
We move in and out of fast as
Hail stones
Make jokes hey isn't that the the word for our
Tombstones
So that everyone will know
When they're out one afternoon
Places, I still remember places
Those precious times and places
When everything was new
Places, I still can feel those places
Our hearts were never lighter
The sky was twice as new
Places, what happen to those places
Though they have changed forever
I'm still in love with you
Moments, do you remember moments
And nothing seems to matter
Apart from me and you
Passion, wider than the ocean
Timeless as the mountain
We'll go closer
We'll go wiser every day
Places, I still remember places
Those precious times and places
When everything was new
Places, do you remember places
And nothing seems to matter
I'm still in love with you
She know it, she know it
Yeah, yeah, she know it
She know it, she know it
Yeah, yeah, she know it
She know it, she know it
Yeah, yeah, she know it
She know it, she know it
Yeah, yeah, she know it
Places slicing confirmation just to see my girl
A million different faces
So many beautiful girls I've seen around the world
You know this situation
We drop it all now, and vacuum as it comes to me
You know that I'll be waiting
Cause I'm dying for your company
Got you screaming out, oh woah, oh woah
Got you screaming out, oh woah, oh woah
Guess she knows that she's all in my head
I can't lie because we both know that it's true
And she knows I'm impressed
By the way what she doesn't what she do
By the way what she doesn't what she do
By the way what she doesn't what she do
Patience girl I know I been gone I been on the road
(I'm coming home)
I know that you been waiting
Stuck in a small town and you're feeling all alone
You're going through these phases
Hold it down girl cause you I'll come for you
I know you've been frustrated
Give it time, I swear we'll make it through
Got you screaming out, oh woah, oh woah
Got you screaming out, oh woah, oh woah
Guess she knows that she's all in my head
I can't lie because we both know that it's true
And she knows I'm impressed
By the way what she doesn't what she do
By the way what she doesn't what she do
By the way what she doesn't what she do
And she know, know, know, know
Because she know, know, know, know
Guess she know know know
Guess she know know know
Guess she know know know
Guess she know know know
Because she know, because... she know
Wish you could read my mind
Wish I could do the same
Wish you would give me a sign
Where I can place this blame
Where am I gonna place this blame
You can blame it all on me
There's a place for everything
You can blame it all on me
When I'll be doubting doubt
You can sit back rest assured
When I'll be wandering about
When you can grow further away from me
Hold me closer, and I would've never known
Well this is something so important
We'll just keep dreaming while we are here
This is why you never know
Well don't you dare think everything is easy
I don't wanna be lost inside of this
'Cause if we're going through, we're gonna start over
Moving quick, moving quick, moving quick now...
Well don't shake it off until we shake it
Well don't think you can make it out alone
Will my heart be fine if you break it, if you break it,
if you break it?
Well these are the words that you find only quick
Hold me closer, and I would've never known
Well this is something so important
We'll just keep dreaming while we are here
Well will you say this is all because of you?
Why do you really think that I would not be true?
We want it all, lets take it all
(Lets take it all! )
Let me tell you one time is only fair
The thought of loving you has never felt so real
So tell me twice now, trying to be nice now
Is this reality or is it all you can say?
Well this is where both where we become so real
These are the nightmares we'll dare sky
With our voice to the sky and on this lullaby
Is this reality or is it all you can say?
Hold me closer, and I would've never known
Well this is something so important
We'll just keep dreaming while we are here
Well will you say this is all because of you?
Why do you really think that I would not be true?
We want it all, lets take it all
(Lets take it all! )
Hit it!
Yeah!
So show me what you got, now!
Well don't say, you say!
If your good!
Yeah this is all we know... !
Hold me closer, and I would've never known
Well this is something so important
We'll just keep dreaming while we are here
Well will you say this is all because of you?
Why do you really think that I would not be true?
We want it all, lets take it all
You say we have to go, no, there is no place we know
I even say you don't need nobody else and that's for sure.
And the lights down low, we are working on it slowly,
I hear you say you don't need nobody else and that's for sure.
And your so called friends, they leave you, leave you empty hands
And all that we do, we're standing out of chance.
But you don't mind, no,
As long as we're small enough to grow.
You don't care, you don't mind, no,
As long as there are people,
As long as there are places we can go.
You don't need nobody else, and that's for sure
And you'd rather go see the places you like to know,
I hear you say you don't need nobody else and that's for sure.
And your so called friends, they leave you, leave you empty hands
And all that we do, we're standing out of chance.
Great fast we are, we're asking you to dance,
For all that you leave us, you don't care,
You don't mind, no,
As long as we're small enough to grow.
You don't care, you don't mind, no,
As long as there are people,
As long as there are places we can go.
As long as there are places we can go.
As long as there are places we can go.
As long as there are places, you don't care
You don't mind, no
As long as we're small enough to grow.
You don't care, you don't mind, no,
As long as there are people,
As long as there are places than we can go.
As long as there are places we can go
Well it looks like
They're running on time
And you can taste in my tears
That I love you
And then tell me goodbye
So kiss me again
'Cause airports ain't nothing
But places you cry
The ain't nothing but places to cry
And this bartender's selling a lie
That all of these travelers are buying
But bars they ain't nothing
'Cause everyone's looking
For something to find
They ain't nothing but places you hide
But places you hide
Places do nothing
Now I'm stuck in this airport
But take me away from your side
To the place that you helped me to find
And trying to get back
'Cause airports are places
I am when I'm not by your side
This city is covered in lights
And everyone's out for the evening
But no one here cares
If you're dead or alive
I guess cities ain't nothing
But places to fly
They ain't nothing but places to fly
Places do nothing
But take me away from your side
Now I'm stuck in this city
And trying to get back
To the place that you helped me to find
'Cause cities are places
I am when I'm not by your side
Yeah places are places
I am when I'm not where you are
Solo
We made love in an ocean of color
But when I awoke
Well I dreamt that I held you tonight
I guess dreams ain't nothing
You were nowhere in sight
But places inside
They ain't nothing but places inside
But take me away from your side
And all that I want
And places do nothing
To the place that you helped me to find
Is to try and get back
And back to the place I belong
Wish you could read my mind
Wish I could do the same
Wish you would give me a sign
Where I can place this blame
Where am I gonna place this blame
You can blame it all on me
There's a place for everything
You can blame it all on me
When I'll be doubting doubt
You can sit back rest assured
When I'll be wandering about
When you can grow further away from me
