Safe From Harm

(marshall, vowles, del naja, cobham, nelson)

Shara Nelson

Midnight ruckus city slickers
Gunmen and me yeah
On a the feature on the freakshow
And I can't do nothin bout that, no no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate

You can free the world you can free my mind
just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
(x2)

3d

I was lookin back to see if you were lookin back at me
To see me lookin back at you

Shara Nelson

Lucky deepest crazy chances seems to be moving fast
What happened to the niceties of my childhood days
Well i can't do nothin bout that, no no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate

3d

I was lookin back to see if you were

Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight
(x2)

3d

Friends and enemies are ???
And they spread into your system like a virus
Yes the trouble and the ??? makes you anxious

I was lookin back to see if you were lookin back at me
To see me lookin back at you
(x2)

Shara Nelson

But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight (x2)

One Love

(marshall, vowles, del naja, williams)

Horace Andy

It's you I love and not another
And I know our love will last forever
You I love and not another
And I know we'll always be together
Some have one love, two and three love
Four and five and six love
But I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Some don't feel secure unless they have a woman on each arm
They have to play the field, prove they have charm
They say don't lay your eggs in 1 basket
If the basket should fall all the eggs'll be broken
But I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Oh girl I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Oh girl it's not the everyday you find the woman of your dreams
Who will always be there no matter how bad things seem
Ever so faithful ever so sure
No man could ever ask for more
I believe in 1 love
I believe in one love, oh girl
I believe in one love
I believe, girl, oh yeah
In one love (x4)
I do (x3)
In 1 love
I do
In one love
I believe in one love, in one love.

Blue Lines

(marshall, vowles, del naja, thaws, brown, bennett, carlton, geurin, sample, scott)

Tricky

You can be with the one you love or love the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray-we're strong but far too little
Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle
But i don't hear words cos i saw the instrumental
Keep the girl at a distance, moves are very hazy
No sunshine in my life the way i deal is shady

3D

Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter
To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass
Her face is on the paper not the strangers that i pass
The ones that looking back to see if they are looking back at me

Daddy G

Are you predator or do you fear me

3D

You wanna do a medicinal
The place i really wanna go
The one I love but never gets near me

Tricky

It's a beautiful day, well it seems as such
Beautiful thoughts means i dream too much
Even if i told you, you still would not know me
Tricky never does, adrian also gets lonely
How we live in this existence, just be
English upbringing, background carribean

3D

Sharing a soliliquy
We cut the vocal drop the flexibility
Walk a temper 'cause i'm rated comatose
No sunshine in my life cos the way i deal is hazy
Life from day to dazey cos i'm on my toes
Mickey i'm a 3dsey sign away glazey

Tricky

It's a looking glass she's looking through
She hated me, but then she loved me too
I'd lie not try so I lost faith
They turn to her to keep the faith
She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind
And on a nine to five lemon, looking for the lime

3D

Box clever, watch your sister come together
Crazy weather at the end of my tether

Daddy G

Massive in the area, murderer
Attack are in the area, murderer

3D

Some go softly softly when i have a tat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got the one to stab it at
Take a walk billy, don't be a hero
Efforts are minimal they're almost at zero
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram
Carve me blue, green ?brumma? and zinc
Take it to extremities with purple and pink
I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain
I can't stand the drops they're dripping down my windowpane
They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a spark upon my soul
They leave the rainbows in the dark

Tricky

Blues get big, massive are even larger
Save no space into the tricky tardis
Withdraw what i saw from down in darris hall
People laying their claim
In stormy weather it's rain

3D

But you're living on a see-saw

Tricky

I try to see more

3D

Somebody died, did he, no body
Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jetset
Sample babies soft sounds in my budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them

Tricky

Massive attack not black up here or where i be
Two hours traveling so i wrote this on my feet
Always living fast, people getting jumpy
Where on ?gruggy? falls i do the walter crumpy
Microphones held close, crouching far apart
Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart



Be Thankful for What You've Got

( De Vaughn )

Tony Bryan

Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With a gangster lean gangster whitewalls
Tv antenna in the back

You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With a gangster lean ooh ooh ooh
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With a gangster lean

Five Man Army

(marshall, vowles, del naja, thaws, williams)

Daddy G

Trendy windy you know what i mean
Hangin around with girl who's rolling up her jeans
She watches her street crack cause she's no dummy
Through rockin the microphone and she's calling me honey
Says i know what i want don't move with thugs
Well house parties hip hop and smoking drugs
And whoever's been the boss she's down with 'em
She's always on time cause the girl got rhythm
To avoid a complication i'll give some information
About a certain occasion under a ???
'Cause when I host my show-a i avoid the girl called lola
Who's more pu-pu-public than the drink they call it coca cola
I’m just practice posing face is shaded in black
Is dominating as my color the massive attack
Right now i hit it kick it flow smooth hit little wicked

Tricky

I take a small step now it's a giant stride
People say I'm loud why should I hide
Only had a small taste so what a waste
I quietly observe though it's not my space
Bottom ends heavy you know we're never even
People call me Tricky for particular reason
I've got you see and i've got to let you know
See we're rockin' in your area rock beneath your balcony
My baby just cares for me well that's funny
Her touch tickles especially on my tummy

Daddy G

Now who's got the microphone

Tricky

Now who's honey

Daddy G

??? turbo turbo and charge with a charge
I be daddy g wild bunch crew at large
Don't call a officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country and also abroad
Plan to go to america when i get a visa card

Tricky

But gettin a visa card nowadays isn't hard

Daddy G

So keep your ears glued listen to every ???
Tokyo city's one place that we toured
Four ??? plus two makes a ???
Sharper than a wilkerson razor sword

3D

When I was a child I played subbuteo on
My table then i graduate to studio one
....
And around my neck you know i wear the sony budokan
Indigo blues you got me in my own shoes
The people dancing in the shape for what they make
They can't lose
Yes waxing lyrical but this time it's not satirical
It's kinda spherical so jam me in a ???
This is the miracle of the dubplate dub selection

Daddy G

So whether you're black white or half-caste in your complection

3D

Yes pull out your phono plug and tuck you in your phony
It's started by my ??? resumed by sony
A summary of ??? a history and only
The massive attack ???

Horace Andy

Get away with your guns now
We don't want it
Get away with your guns now
We don't like it
Eternal love eternal love
Money money money
Root of all evil
Money money money
Root of all evil

Unfinished Sympathy

(marshall, vowles, del naja, sharp, nelson)

Shara Nelson

I know that i've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby
How can have a day without a night
You're the book that i have opened
And now i've got to know much more

The curiousness of your potential kiss (?)
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really hurt me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You're the book that i have opened
And now i've got to know much more

Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I'm missing every part
(x5)

Daydreaming

(marshall, vowles, del naja, badarou, thaws)

Shara Nelson

I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming

3D

Way that we say 'em in style that we raid 'em in
Massive attack we keep it strong just like a vitamin
Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs
'Cause brother it's relative
The ??? is pickup all the lyrics on the dancefloor
To raise your spirit level cause it demands more

Tricky

Attitude is cool degrees below zero
Up against the wall behaving like deniro
Tricky's performing taking his photo
Make him stand with a tan touch it like cocoa
Smooth keep it moving at the back now
Free as the needle that's movnig through the track now

3D

Hands keep the drummer's beats we need new sticks
Dance around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we drop
The paper that you ??? lick with
Tricky trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life
Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn
But I just take it easy it's a sunday morning

3D

So you come ???
Together we'll grow forever watch my ak rig go

Daddy G

Because my ak rig goes boom boom
My ak rig goes boom

3D

Yeah rhymin' the jam and uh we got the stamina
Cause you never know it's like we don't give a damn and uh
And it's ??? to keep your distance
Resist and the posse gets the pressure of this dance
The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street

Tricky

If i was a rich man

Daddy G

Da da dada

Tricky

I quietly observe standing in my space
It's the devious days they call the rat race
It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town
Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
But we're happy when the bomb drops
Down

3D

Don't make sound
'Cause the dancefloor's a desert
And the dancers are parched
Do a rain dance and you brace through a marsh
My heavy my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones soul is what i say to 'em
The surreal boom of the budokan stadium

Shara Nelson

Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space

Tricky

Well i'm tricky kid don't deal with sadness
Can't be with the one i love i love the one that i miss
I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor
Don't need another lover just need, i'm insecure

3D

The weather is a-changin' the storms be shakin
The love that you make is equal to the love you're makin
Here comes the sun little darlin here comes the sun
It's alright

Tricky

Yes tricky kid i check my situation
Naggy this maggy that maggy means inflation
Hip-hop you don't stop cause i'm not sloppy
I like the beat so we need another copy

3D

We're natives of the massive territory and i'm proud
Getting peaceful in the desert that the glory and the crowd
The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
I love my neighbor and i ??? the olympics
See you a hooligan you try to play the fool again

Tricky

Caught you in the lost and found

3D

When your posse weren't around

Tricky

No crowd

3D

So you're going for you tool again

Shara Nelson

Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming



Lately

(marshall, vowles, del naja, nelson, redmond)

Shara Nelson

Summertime always gives me the blues
Thinking about the things we used to do
Watching lovers in the park making love so free
And now i realize there's only me

Lately baby where, where did we go wrong
(x2)

You been acting like a cat on a hot tin roof
Something's on your mind that you can't share
You never used to hide your feelings from me
Keepin secrets i don't understand

Lately baby where, where did we go wrong
(x2)

I used to synchronize it with your body
Making it so tight never letting go
(x2)

Lately baby where, where did we go wrong
Lately, lately, lately, lately
Lately baby, where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Missed your touch, missed your touch

Hymn of the Big Wheel

(marshall, vowles, del naja, cherry, andy)

Horace Andy

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes

There's a hole in my soul like a cavity
Seems the world is out to gather just by gravity
The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging
Look my son the weather is changing

I'd like to feel that you could be free
Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree
Sometime again
You'll turn green and the sea turns red
My son I said the power of reflectios over my head
The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes

We sang about the sun and danced among the trees
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And i'll show you sunset sometime again

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
As a child solemn pray my hope hides in disguise
While satellites and cameras watch from the skies
An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea
It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me
And all the king's men cannot put it back again
But the ghetto sun will nurture life
And mend my soul sometime again

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day
The earth spins on its axis
One man struggle while another relaxes
(x2)

Protection

Protection

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thorn)

Tracy Thorn

This girl I know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her

I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin round and round, helter skelter
And I lean on your fears(?)
Now you can lean on me
An that's more than love, that's the way
It should be
Now I can't change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way i feel
I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl (x4)

Karmacoma

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thaws, norfolk, locke)

Tricky

You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Won’t lie and say this lovin's best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest

3D

I see you digging a hole in your neighborhood
You’re crazy but you’re lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be seen to seen to
Money like it's paper with faces i remember
I drink on a daily basis
Though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper

Tricky

Walking through the suburbs though not exactly lovers
You’re a couple, 'specially when your body’s doubled
Duplicate, then you wait for the next kuwait

(both)

Karmacoma, jamaica' aroma (x4)

3D

You sure you want to be with me i’ve nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest
Take a walk take a rest a taste of rest

Tricky

Don't want to be on top of your list
Phenomenally and properly kissed
We overcome in sixty seconds
With the strength we have to together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
When there’s trust there’ll be treats
And when we funk we'll hear beats

(both)

Karmacoma, jamaica' aroma (x4)

3D

Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, see i'm swazy
Digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy

Tricky

Don't wanna on top of your list
Monopoly and properly kissed

3D

Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, you must be lazy

(both)

Karmacoma, what?, jamaica aroma (x4)

Three

(vowles, del naja, marshall, hooper, suwoton)

Nicolette

Three's my lucky number
And fortune comes in threes
But I wish I knew that number
That even little children seem to see
Oh, I'm missing everything I knew
It's just so hard to be a child(?)
Oh, i'm missing all the things i knew
Yet wish i knew nothing at all
I wish i knew nothing at all

Soon i'll have the courage
To leave my thoughts behind
I'll give back all the knowledge
And keep the wisdom precious in my mind

Oh, i'm missing all the things i knew
I miss them yet i want them gone
Yes, i'm missing all the things i knew
Yet wish i knew nothing at all
I wish i knew nothing at all
I wish i knew nothing at all

Spying Glass

(vowles, del naja, marshall, hooper, andy)

Horace Andy

You live in the city
You stay by yourself
You are invite all weakness
Still some people they brand you ya
Just because you are rasta
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You invite all company
When you check it in the new spying glass
They want to know all your business

You live in the city
You mind your own business
What you see you don't see
But some people they always see
They never mind their own business
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You think you're far from the weak
When you check it in your spying glass
They want to know rasta business

Spying Glass!
Spying Glass!
Yeah

Better Things

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thorn, watt, brown)

Tracy Thorn

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
Aalthough you've found
Beauty more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free

That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love

Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way

You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
Ah, that's bullshit babe
You just won't let it be

You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah

Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way

Eurochild

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thaws, norfolk, locke)

3D

Sitting in my day care, yard is decopainted
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner where we've seen it
Chased by the planet
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set is blue like neon
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I've seen this city somewhere
I'm looking out for no-one
Pallor in my eye it get blue like neon

Tricky

Hell is round the corner where i shelter
Isms and schisms we're living helter skelter
If you believe i deceive then common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till i take further evidence
I seem to need reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say i'm a good neighbour
I trudge so judge me for my labour
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if i was some kind of a
A total stranger

3D

Hysterical, ecstatical no matter, call me stags(?)
Have to get a drink, i go to relax
Upon phono, no go zone i go through
Aching aways just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
Now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when i get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
So goodbye

Tricky

Take a second of me you beckon i'll be
And when you're sad i'll mourn
And when you tear i'm torn
Take a second of me
Take a second of me
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
So reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in stussy
Show me and i'll stick em
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me

3D

Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby taking up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, mediocre painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window when they go when they go boom
I run inside my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa
Roll in a daydream
Spliff make daddy go sleep-a-trip dream

Sly

(vowles, del naja, marshall, hooper, suwoton, goldman)

Nicolette

I try to believe what i feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It's hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me

I already know my children's children's faces
Voices that i've heard before
There's always more
There's always more

Wandering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

I feel like a thousand years have passed
I'm younger than i used to be
I feel like the world is my home at last
I know everyone that i meet

Somewhere in the music i can hear the bells
I heard a thousand years before
There's always more
There's always more

Wandering is this there all there is
Since i was since i began to be
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

Light My Fire (live)

( Morrison, Krieger, Manzarek, Densmore )

Horace Andy

You know that it would be untrue
You know that i would be a liar
If was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
You know that it would be untrue
You know that i would be a liar
If was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire X4

Mezzanine

Angel

(Vowles, Del naja, Marshall, Hinds)

Horace Andy :

You are my angel
Come from way above
To bring me love

Her eyes
She's on the dark side
Neutralize
Every man in sight

Love you, love you, love you ...

Risingson

(Vowles, Del naja, Marshall, Reed, Seeger)

3d

I seen you go down to a cold mirror
It was never clearer in my error
You click a shine upon your forehead or
Check it by the signs in the corridor
You light my ways through the club maze
We would struggle through the dub daze

I sink myself in hair upon my lover
It's how you go down to men's room sink
Sad we talk how madmen think
I sink myself in hair upon my lover
I don't know her from another miss
I don't know you from another
See me run now you're gone...dream on

Daddy G

Why you want to take me to this party and breathe
I'm dying to leave
Every time we grind you know we sever lines
Where have those flowers gone
Long time passing
Why you keep it testing, keep on tasking
I keep on asking

3d

Toy-like people make me boy-like
Toy-like people make me boy-like
They're invisible, when the trip it flips
They get physical, way below my lips
And everything you got hoi-poloi like
Now you're lost and you're lethal
Now's a fine time, you gotta leave all
These good people...dream on

Nicer than the bird up in the tree top
Cheaper than the chip inside my lap top
All the variations you could do with me
Nicer than the girl up in your mind you're free

Daddy G

Automatic crystal remote control, we come to move your soul

3d

You kinda fade into the background
Like a better smoke'll bring you back round
Like a man slide inside you my dear
Your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears
See 'em run now your gone...dream on

I found a reason
Toy-like people make me boy-like
Toy-like people make me boy-like
Dream on

Teardrop

(Del naja, Marshall, Vowles, Fraser)

Liz Fraser

Love, love is a verb
Love is a doing word
Fearless/feather's on my breath
Gentle impulsion
Shakes me makes me lighter
Fearless/feather's on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless/feather's on my breath

.... of my tear
Black flowers blossom
Fearless/feather's on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless/feather's on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless/feather's on my breath

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless/feather's on my breath
Teardrop on the fire of a confession
Fearless/feather's on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless/feather's on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless/feather's on my breath

You're stumbling in the dark
You're stumbling in the dark

Inertia creeps

(Vowles, Del naja, Marshall)

3d

Recall me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos full rotating hips
Hold it to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Gonna hit you off then you can inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
My dreams are flying I faint nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly

In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest-dearest
Been there when I'm over-careering
Room-shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my ??
Been here before
Been here forever

Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly
Inertia keeps moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly

She comes
There be no sound in my idle town
Wake a lie in a morning's blue
??? still my antenna in you
???
Gravity's zero ???
I bounce off walls ??? my footing and fall
Can't be sweet though we complete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all fours
It's been a long time

She comes
She comes
What's erect you (?)
She comes
What's erect you (?)
She comes

Got your radio ways
I got your radio ways
Will you take a string (?)
Say ??? the ??
Say ??? the ??
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes

Dissolved girl

(Vowles, Del naja, Marshall, Sara Jay, Schwartz)

Sara Jay

Shame, such a shame
I think I kind of lost myself again
Day, yesterday
Really should be leaving but I stay

Say, say my name
Need a little love to ease the pain
Need a little love to ease the pain
It's easy to remember when it came

'Cause I feels like I've been
I've been here before
You are not my savior
But I still don't go

Feels like something
That I've done before
I could fake it
But I still want more

Fade, made the fade
Passion's overrated anyway
Say, say my name
Need a little love to ease the pain
Need a little love to ease the pain
It's easy to remember when it came

'Cause I feels like I've been
I've been here before
You are not my savior
But I still don't go

And I feel like something
That I've done before
And I could fake it
But I still want more, oh.

Man Next Door

(Holt)

Horace Andy

There is a man that live next door
In my neighborhood
In my neighborhood
And he gets me down...

He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place

Hear the pots and pans they fall
Bang against my wall
Bang against my wall
No rest at all

He gets in so late at night
Always a fuss and fight
Always a fuss and fight
All through the night

I've got to get away from here
This is not a place for me to stay
I've got to take my family
We'll find a quiet place

3d

I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew with ??? that's too illuminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me

Daddy G

You knew you had a heart made of stone
You should have let me know
You could have let me know

3d

We'll go 'till morning comes
And traffic grows
And windows hum

Daddy G

Speding all week with your friends
Give me evenings and weekends
Evenings and weekends

3d

I care for yours
We can unwind
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
All these other flaws (all these influence?)

You'd agree it's a typical high
You fly as you watch your name go by
And once the name goes by
Not thicker than water nor thicker than mud
And the ak ??? it does
???
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
Say it's better on the way back down

I care for yours
We can unwind
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
Will lead to mine

All these other flaws (all these influence?)
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
Will lead to mine
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
All these other flaws (all these influence?)
Will see to
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all these other flaws (all these influence?)
We can unwind all these other flaws (all these influence?)

3d

A flask I drink of sober tea
While reeling cameras monitor me
And the bus surrounds it does
Bus surrounds
Bus surrounds

Liz Fraser

Close died sky were open (?)
Unlimited ???
??? fall away
??? depense
We need to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
And listening

Kiss me from my ??

Liz Fraser

My ears know that my eyes are closed

3d

I train myself in martial arts
That's appetized

Liz Fraser

We need to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath

Flickering I roam

Liz Fraser

And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed
We need to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath

3d

Flickering I roam

Liz Fraser

And listening
My ears know that my eyes are closed

3d

See to vaults
For key to locks
No boat to rock
And free to roam
And dummy screens
And magazines

Liz Fraser

Close died sky were open (?)
Unlimited ???

3d

To think that I lay next to you
Wasting time while I could do
A simple job in stream lights
A flask I drink a sob(?) of tea
'Till daylight sends me home
Flickering I roam

Horace Andy

Yeah yeah yeah ah
You see a man's face
But you don't see his heart
You see a man's face
But you will never know his thoughts

Everywhere you go
There's a man to say love
Never neither never neither
Take it to heart

For your heart is your heart
And your thoughts is your thoughts
Never mix love with hatred

You see a man's face
You will never see his heart
You see a man's face
But you will never know his thoughts
You see a man's face
You will never know his thoughts
You see a man's face

The Hunter Gets Captured by the Game

(william "smokey" robinson, jr.)

Tracy Thorn

Everyday brings change,and the world puts on a new face
Sudden things rearrange, and this whole world seems like a new place
Secretly i been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbitt
Had to get you and so i knew
I had to learn your ways and habits
Ooooooh, you were the catch that i was after
I looked up and i was in your arms and i knew that i was captured

What's this whole world comin to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then i knew it
Ooooooh, my plans didn't work out like i thought
'Cause i had laid my trap for you but it seems that i got caught

What's this whole world comin to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

Ah yeah, yeah yeah, hey yeah

Fake the Aroma

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thaws, norfolk, locke)

You sure you wanna be with me i've nothing to give
Don't lie and say this lovin's best
Don't leave us in emotional place
Take a walk take a rest now take a rest

I seen ya diggin a hole in ya neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be see-through
See through money like it's paper
With faces i remember
I drink on a daily basis though it seldom calms my temper
Ya leave me in peace, ya leave me in pieces

I walking through the suburbs
We're not exactly lovers
Your a couple specially
When your body's double
Duplicate and then you wait for the next kuwait

So karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma

Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
I must be crazy you see i'm swayze
You diggin a hole in ya neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy must be lazy
I seen ya
The fire that rises in me
The daisy ??? dwindle
??? like a jungle in decline
My time has been so wasteful
I never fight time
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby are you my baby mate
I must be crazy i know you're lazy

So karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma jamaica an' roma

Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma
Karmacoma what jamaica an' roma

I Want You

(ware/ross)

Madonna

I want you, the right way
I want you, but i want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like i want you

I'll give you all the love
I want in return
But half the love is all i feel
Sweet darling
It's too bad it's too sad
You don't want me no more
But i'm gonna change your mind
Someway, somehow

I want you, the right way
I want you, but i want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like i want you

One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious
??? right there
Don't play with somethin
You should cherish for life, oh baby
Don't you wanna care
Ain't it lonely out there

I want you, the right way
I want you, but i want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like i want you

I want you, the right way
I want you, but i want you to want me too
Want you to want me baby
Just like i want you

I want you, the right way
Want me, baby
Don't play with something
You should cherish for life

Euro zero zero

3D

Sitting in my day care
It was day-glo painted
You see me i'm a drinker
You see me now i'm sainted
Chased by the plaintive
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow too bored to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set was blue like neon
Activate the remote i put the BBC on
I've seen this city, so on
I'm looking out for no-one
Pilot in my eye it gets blue like neon

It gets blue like neon
It gets blue like neon

Horace Andy

Can't see nothing wrong
Can't be nothing wrong
Inside of me

Daddy G

I walk in a bar, immediately sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if i was a
A total stranger

3D

Hysterical, ecstatic, automatic ???
It's kind of hard to get a drink or
Just a girl to relax on
Phono, no go zone i go through
Aching aways just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
So you mix it with me
I function better when i get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
I function better with the sun in my eyes
I function better with the sun in my eyes

Horace Andy

Can't see nothing wrong
Can't be nothing wrong
Inside of me

Daddy G

Take a second of me you beckon i'll be
And when you're sad i'll mourn
And when you're down i'm torn
Take a second of me
Said take a second of me
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
Reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in stussy
Will you be my victim
Show me where to stick em
Take a second of me (a second to see)

3D

In my day-care
On my sofa
One spliff makes daddy go sleep
Makes daddy go sleep
