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 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 Are you predator or do you fear me? Yeah, while I’m doing this I know, the place I really wanna go The one I love but never gets near me 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 It's the way that we ?bility?, sharing a soliloquy We cut the broken thread from flexibility Mi chiamo 3Dse, 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 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 Box clever, watch your system come together Crazy weather at the end of my tether Massive in the area, murderer Attack inna the area, murderer 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 mark Upon my soul they leave the rainbows in the dark 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 But you're living on a see-saw (I try to see more) 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 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

I quietly observe standing in my space Daydreaming I quietly observe standing in my space Daydreaming 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 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 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 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' So you come on light my fire and together we'll grow Forever watch my eight kay rig go Because my eight kay rig goes boom boom My eight kay rig goes boom Yeah, rhyming 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 If I was a rich man (Dada dada dada dadda...) 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? Don't make a sound (yes) '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 Well I’m floating on air when I’m daydreaming I quietly observe standing in my space 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 The weather is a-changing, the storms be shaking The love that you take is equal to the love you're making Here comes the sun, little darling, here comes the sun (it's all right) 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 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 Caught you in the lost and found, when your posse weren't around No crowd, so you're going for you tool again Daydreaming I quietly observe standing in my space Daydreaming Well I’m floating on air when I’m daydreaming
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
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 (x2)

I see 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 Why you wanna take me to this party and breathe?

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... 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
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 She comes, 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... 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

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
100th Window (2003)
Borderline case, reinforced glass Absent friends Passport photos, an elastic life Empty pocket They think it is all, they think it’s soul All wrapped up on a swollen lip He draws the warm pipe Chemical, chemicals captured In winter's grip, turn us on Seperate the leper Up we ghost, up we ghost Another imprint in borrowed clothes I could be numb, I could be numb Passing through Borderline case, future proof Real thin air, real thin air Real thin air
Don’t be afraid Open your mouth and say Say what your soul sings to you Your mind can never change unless you ask it to Lovingly rearrange the thoughts that make you blue The things that bring you down only do harm to you And so make your choice joy, the joy belongs to you And when you do You'll find the one you love is you You'll find you, love you Don’t be ashamed, no To open your heart and pray Say what your soul sings to you So no longer pretend that you can’t feel it near That tickle on your hand, that tingle in your ear Oh ask it anything because it loves you dear It’s your most precious king, if only you could hear And when you do You’ll find the one you need is you You’ll find you, love you
My love, your light Incantations Struck stars, like tears fall The sequence ends Downtime, God speed Everywhen we can’t see The sequence ends and begins Everything, you think you know Everything, you think you know You think you know Blood ties, blood ties The sequence ends
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 shame And don’t be making out like it’s all his 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 two sides It takes two to make love, two 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
