Any love

(Tony Bryan)

You go out every night as a single
But you don't really know what to do
You see someone you'd just like to mingle
And you imagine she's waiting for you

Any love
Any love that you feel is for real
And each time that you use love
You're gonna lose love

Any love
Love love
Love sweet love

Any love
Love love
Love sweet love

There is no certain crowd that you run with
Throw your passion away let me run with
He says hi she says hi and i'm done with
Though you never belong i'm waiting to see
Any love that you feel is for real
And each time that you use love
You're gonna lose love

Any love
Love love
Love sweet love
Any love
Any love
Love love
Love sweet love
You go out every night as a single
But you don't really know what to do
You see someone you'd just like to mingle
And imagine that she is waiting for you
's waiting waiting for you
Is waiting for you
Waiting for you

Any love
Love love
Love sweet love

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, ecstatical no matter, call me stags(?)
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

Fake the aroma

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

Home of the whale

(Caroline Lavelle)

Oh my love he works upon the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sail
While southwards he roams to the home of the whale

And he ne'er thinks of me far behind
Or the torments that rage in my mind
He is mine for only part of the year
Then I'm left all alone with only my tears

All ye ladies that smell of white rose
Thank ye for your perfume to wear on my gold
Thank ye all the wives and the babies that yearn
For the man ne'er returns from hunting the sperm (whale)

Oh my love he works upon the sea
On the waves that blow wild and free
He splices the ropes and he sets the sail
While southwards he roams to the home of the whale

I want you

(Madonna)

I, yi yi yi

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

Da da, da da, da da da

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

Da da, da da, da da da

One way love is just a fantasy
To share is precious, pure and fair
Don't play with something 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

Reflection

(3D)

Take me where the tides start
And i can pull you into me
You're really crushing gravity
Your corona is reaching consequences
??? my ???

It all comes back to me

???
Collects like dust around my head
And lightly rings and clings
Can't be shakin' off the ???
Like characters we ??? and ???
You're ??? to ??? you
There's nothing i can save for this
No fold it up in 2 of this
No ??? string
No flight-path
No cream

Comes back to me
Comes back to me
It all comes back to me
It all comes back to me
It all comes back to me
Comes back to me
Comes back to me
Don't kiss me

Infrared to find you
I fly in to remind you
I burnt my universe for you
Attracted to opposing poles
As you know the proverb goes

It ??? you history
No use to me, no mystery
No use to me, no use to see
No use to me, no use to see
No use to me, no use to see
Comes back to me
No use to me, ??? to me

Special cases

Don?t tell your man what you don?t do right
Not tell him all the things that make you cry
But check yourself for your own shit / shame
And don?t be making love like it?s always

Take a look around the world
You see such bad things happening
There are many good men
Ask yourself is he one of them

the deadliest of sin is pride
Make you feel like you?re always right
But they?re always to the sides
It takes dirt to make love dirt to make a life

Take a look around the world
You see such mad things happening
There are few good men
Thank you lucky star that he?s one of them

(Exchange)

(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

Angel

(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

To love you, love you, love you ...

You are my angel
Come from way above

To love you, love you, love you ...

Black milk

(Liz Fraser)

You're not my eater
I'm not your food
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother

Eat me
In the space
Within my heart
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother

Mother fountain
Or live or not at all

The most level
Sunken chapel
Love you for God
Love you for the Mother

All's there to love
Only love

Dissolved girl

(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
I need a little love to ease the pain
I need a little love to ease the pain
It's easy to remember when it came

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

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

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

Group four

(3d)

A flask I drink of sober tea
While relay cameras monitor me
And the buzz surrounds it does
Buzz surrounds
Buzz surrounds

(Liz Fraser)

Closed eyed sky wide open
Unlimited girl unlimited sigh
Elsewhere
Indefinitely
Far away
Magnifies and deepens
Ready to sing
My sixth sense peacefully placed on my breath
And listening

(3d)

Keeps me from my hurt

(Liz Fraser)

My ears know that my eyes are closed

(3d)

Perish thoughs like contraband
I train myself in martial arts
As advertised
I reinforce my softened parts
As advertised

(Liz Fraser)

See through me little glazed lane
A world in myself
Ready 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
Ready 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)

I see to bolts
Put keys to locks
No boat are rocked
I'm free to roam
On dummy screens
And magazines

(Liz Fraser)

Closed eyed sky wide open
Unlimited girl unlimited sigh

(3d)

To think that I lay next to you
Wasting time when I could do
A simple job in strip lights
A flask I drink a sober tea
'Till daylight sends me home
Flickering I roam

(Liz Fraser)

Daydreaming admiring being
Quietly, open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight
Seen through me little glazed lane
A world in myself
Daydreaming admiring being
Quietly, open the world
I hear the time of the starry sky
Turning over at midnight

Inertia creeps

(3d)

Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can't inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit 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 irritant's itching
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
I make no sound in my eidertown
Awake I lie in the morning's blue
Room is still my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's
It's been a long time

She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes

I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
Will you take a string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes

Man next door

(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

Mezzanine

(3d)

I'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew and strolled as two eliminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me

(Daddy G)

You know you've got that 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 could be yours
We can unwind
All these have flaws
All these have flaws

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 eight k thuds it does

Sunset so thickly
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
It taste's better on the way back down

I could be yours
We can unwind
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
Will lead to mine

We can unwind
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
Will lead to mine
Will see to
All these have flaws
All these have flaws
Will see to
All these have flaws
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all our flaws
We can unwind all our flaws

Risingson

(3d)

I seen you go down to a cold mirror
It was never clearer in my era so
You lick 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 see myself in there upon my lover
It's how you go down to the men's room sink
Sad we talk of how madmen think
I see myself in there 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 we know we severed lines
Where have all those flowers gone
Long time passing
Why you keep me testing, keep me tasking
You 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
And now's about the 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,
They come to move your soul

(3d)

You're gonna 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 you're gone...dream on

Toy-like people make me boy-like
Toy-like people make me boy-like

I found a reason
I found a reason

Dream on
Dream on
Dream on

Teardrop

(Liz Fraser)

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

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Nine night of matter
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath
Black flowers blossom
Fearless on my breath

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

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

Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath

Stumbling a little
Stumbling a little

Album: Blue lines

Be thankful for what you've got

(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 the gangster lean
For what you've got

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 the 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 the Gangster lean
(x3)

Blue lines

(Tricky)

Can't be with the one you love then love the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray, red stripe I pull the lid
Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle
But I don't hear her words 'cause I slide the instrumental
Keep the girl in the 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)

Yeah while I'm doing this I know
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 mostly gets lonely
How we live in this existence, just being
English upbringing, background carribean

(3D)

It's the way that we ?bility?
Sharing a soliloquy
We cut the broken thread from flexibility
Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese
No sunshine in my life 'cause the way I deal is hazy
And everyday's a daisy 'cause I'm on my toes
While contemporaries of mine remaining comatose

(Tricky)

There'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
Then 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 system come together
Crazy weather at the end of my tether

(Daddy G)

Massive in the area, murderer
Attack inna the area, murderer

(3D)

Some go softly softly round the habitat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got no one to stab it at
Take a walk billy, don't be a hero
Effort's on minimal though almost touch zero
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram

Car paint blue, green, primer and zinc
Take it to extremities my 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 nuff space into the tricky tardis
We'd trawl what I saw from down in darren's 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 da-ditty, nobody
Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jetset
Silver papers of the sound within my budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them

(Tricky)

To Massive attack Matt Black appear wearing beads
Two hours traveling so I wrote this on repeat
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

Daydreaming

(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 write '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 pass is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor
That raise your spirit level 'cause it demands for

(Tricky)

Attitude is cool degrees below zero
Up against the wall behaving like De Niro
Tricky's performing taking his phono
Making a stand with a tan touch it like cocoa
Smooth to keep you moving at the back now
Free is the needle it's moving through the track now

(3D)

Dance to the drummer's beats we need new sticks
Bounce around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we've drop
A paper which you use my tongue to 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 morn'

(3D)

So you come on light my fire and
Together we'll grow forever watch my eight kay rig go

(Daddy G)

Because my eight kay rig goes boom boom
My eight kay rig goes boom

(3D)

Yeah rhymin' the jam and uh we got the stamina
In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and uh
And it's hard to handle keep your distance
Resist and the posse gets the pleasure 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 what happen 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 your brain's still marsh
My heavy my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones sony's 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 take 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
Maggie this Maggie that Maggie 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 we're proud
Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd
The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
I love my neighbor I don't wait for the olympics
See you go hooligan you're trying 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

Five man army

(Daddy G)

Trendy wendys you know what i mean
Hangin' around with girl who's rolling up her jeans
She watches her street cred 'cause she's no dummy
Saw rockin the microphone and now she's calling me a honey
Says I know what I want don't move with thugs
We're 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 all complications i'll give some information
About a certain location under Paddington Station
'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 middle wicket

(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 end's 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)

A turbo turbo and chant with a charge
Addy, Daddy G wild bunch crew at large
Don't call me an officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country planning 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 chord
Tokyo city's one place that we toured
Four technic plus two mixer board
Sharper than a Wilkinson razor sword

(3D)

When I was a child I played subbuteo on
My table then I graduate to studio one
?Cos D?s my nom de plume you know but 3?s my pseudonym
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 marconi resumed by sony
A summary by wireless history and only
The massive attack ??? explosione

(Horace Andy)

Get away with you gangsters
We don't want it
Get away with you gangsters
We don't like it
Eternal love eternal love
Money money money
Root of all evil
Money money money
Root of all evil

Hymn of the big wheel

(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 like 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 axis 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's silent prayer 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

Lately

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

One love

(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 men 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 men 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 one basket
If the basket should fall all your 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 seems
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, in one love
In one love, in one love
I do, I do, I do
In one love
I do
In one love
I believe in one love, in one love.

Safe from harm


(Shara Nelson)

Midnight ronkers
City slickers
Gunmen and maniacs
All will feature on the freakshow
And I can't do nothing 'bout that, 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

You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

(3d)

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

(Shara Nelson)

Lucky dippers
Crazy chancers
Seems to be moving fast
What happened to the nicities
Of my childhood days
Well i can't do nothing 'bout that, no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate

(3d)

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

(Shara Nelson)

You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

(3d)

Tell us what it is dangerous
Friends and enemies I find it's contagerous
And they're spreading through your system like a virus
Yes the trouble in the end it makes you anxious

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

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

(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)

Unfinished sympathy

(Shara Nelson)

I know that i've been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut 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 cut 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)

Better things

(Tracy Thorn)

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

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

Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
Hear me say
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
All that's bullshit babe
You just want rid of me

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

Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

Eurochild

Sitting in my day care, the art is decopainted
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner's where we've seen it
Chased by the plane it
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set was 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 on a skelter
If you believe i'll 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 a 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(?)
Hard to get a drink or a girl to relax
Upon phono, no go zone i go through
Aching awaits 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
I lick a rock off 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 tagging up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, media dego painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window indigo 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

Karmacoma

(Tricky)

You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Won?t lie and say this lovin's best
Well leave us in emotional pace
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
I need to live and I need to
Your troubles must be seen to see through
Money like it's paper with faces i remember
I drink on a daily basis
Though it subtle 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

(Tricky & 3D)

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
Monopoly 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

(Tricky & 3D)

Karmacoma, jamaica' aroma (x4)

(3D)

Deflowering my baby, aiyee my baby me
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, aiyee my baby me
My baby
Deflowering my baby, aiyee my baby me
I must be crazy, you must be lazy

(Tricky & 3D)

Karmacoma, what?, jamaica aroma (x4)
