Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom



The baby was born
Nettles and Ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not a-
'fraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Don't Lose It

Its getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box and they
Paper chase
It never stops
And we'll never learn
No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers have bailed
The mighty retreat
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it or leave
Or what you receive
To what you receive
Is eternited leave

Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Don't lose it

Incandescent light at doors
In adolescent menopause
In little clicks you got the music stops
The needle sticks and the penny drops
The summer's gone before you know
The muffled drums of relentless flow
You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo
The sun's still burning and dust will blow
Honey scars I'll keep you near
Our blood is gold nothing to fear
We killed the time and I love you dear
A kiss of wine we'll disappear
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible

Zero 7 - Destiny




I lie awake
I've gone to ground
I'm watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There's only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite

The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

On a clear day
I'll fly home to you
I'm bending time getting back to you
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
I'm nearly with you

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny

I'll fly, I'll fly home
I'll fly home and I'll fly home

Flying Lotus - Tea Leaf Dancers




Hey (X4)
No, I can't seem to get it,
And in my mind I'm bettin'
My time's made up, I gotta' go...
And it's alright if you want,
To see through your tomorrow,
But right, now I gotta' go...


If you want to stay then you can be here with me,
But I can't let go of all this love, oh no, so easily...

I said, if you want to stay then you can be here with me,
But I can't let go of all this love, oh no, so easily...

No I can't seem to forget,
And in my mind (it's ready)(?)...
My times made up, but I'm at home...

And it's alright if you want, to be who you want to be...
But right now, I gotta' go...

If you want to stay then you can be here with me,
But I can't let go of all this love, oh no, so easily...

I said, if you want to stay then you can be here with me,
But I can't let go of all this love, oh no, so easily...

If you want to go babe, you can...
But hear me out...
Oh, I can't let it go, oh so easily.
So easily
So easily

(Harmonizing)

No, No, No...
If You want,
If you want,
So easily...
Its alright...
Believe me it's alright...

Quantic feat. Alice Eussel - So Long



In the blowing, wheels are turning
trying to get to, where I'm going
in this road, I find no reason
only feet, find a path.

In the field in all the county
got a dream by my side
put it softly, all around me
its the voices, show me the way.

See this journey, that I've been travelling
so much longer than I thought
to this place that i'm returning
I see the foot prints from once before.

So long, so long
so long, so long
so long, so long
so long, so long

Nitin Sawhney - Sunset



If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I would never to see you
If I could set the sun
If I could set the sun

Keep moving
Keep changing
Keep flowing in the sun
Lovers rise
Oceans rise
People rise in the sun

If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I would never to see you
If I could set the sun
If I could set the sun

Tears falling
Right falling
Leaves a falling in the sun
Lives drifting
Seas drifting
Worlds drifting with the sun

If I were never to leave you
If I were always alone
If I were never to receive you
If I could set with the sun

If i
Never to leave here
If i
Always alone
If i

(if I)
Oceans rise
Vapors rise
(if I)
People rise
With the sun
Oceans rise
(if I)
Vapors rise
People rise
With the sun

Thievery Corporation - Richest Man In Babylon


There is no quidance in your kingdom
Your wicked walk in Babylon
There is no wisdom to your freedom
The richest man in babylon

Your beggars sleep outside your doorway
Your prophets leave to wonder on
You fall asleep at night with worry
The saddest man in Babylon

The wicked stench of exploitation
Hangs in the air and lingers on
Beneath the praise and admiration
The weakest man in Babylon

There is no hope left in your kingdom
Your servants have burned all their songs
Nobody here remembers freedom
The richest man in Babylon

(scat)
babylon no get rich again
but to end up sick again
and you end up weak again
babylon
(scat)

babylon you run
you better know you you better understand
the rancher man you better hear what we say
babylon this is your final day
babylon this is your final call
read the writing that's on the wall
see divided we stand
and together we fall
you never know that
you not gon' catch me in a rat pack
we not gon' fall away from it jah
no way

The Mighty Bop - Feeling Good




Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Reeds driftin' by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

Feeling good

Thievery Corporation - Amerimacka


Miss Liberty turn inna Jezzabelle
All de dreams you go sell, de whole dem turn inna hell
Her bed of roses are filled with thorns
Her righteous robes are tattered and torn

If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
She wouldn’t have to hide her shame
If she had only stood for love
That would have been enough
But now she’s burnt us all with her flames

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

The land of the free built on slavery
Our consciousness in captivity
The promise land is the liar’s den
Your culture of greed has got to end

Now we’re laying in the mud
Looking up above
Tear water just ah drop from the sky
They try to keep us in the mud
Separating us from love
But me nah go let dem conquer de I

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life
Amerimacka
Is like licking honey off a knife

Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful sight
Amerimacka
Oh what a beautiful life

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up



When I grow up, I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That’s what I’ll do, throwing out boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up, I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That’s what i’ll have staring at the seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul in what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
with dark eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way bad, I never liked a sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

I’m very good with plants
When my friends are away
they let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
for a minute or two
then back on my feet and cry for you oooh oh

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothing
waiting for a moment to arise
The face in the ceiling and arms too long
I wait for him to catch me

Waiting for you to embrace me

Elsiane - Final Escape



You always want me to be a part of you
You always taught me to be alive with you
This is the time and the place and the moment
Feeling the way that I do
These are the signs and the traces of growing
By living the way that I do
I hope you understand and acknowledge
All that's passing through
It's constantly been there and
throwing all that wasn't good
I hope we both find the place
Where maybe some day we will find our strength
And hopefully attain to finally escape
I'm always amazed how we're so self destructive
Does any body know why?
Find the light

Elsiane - Mend (To Fix, To Repair)




I never meant to go
I never meant to fall but I'm only gone
I never meant to go I'm only gone inside my own
Some day I'll wake you
Some times I'll wait for myself
Some day I'll hold you through
Tonight I'm alone to go high
Tonight I'm alone to go high
Tonight I'm alone to go
In state of confusion you made an illusion
State of confusion you made an illusion
It is exciting to be away
Feeling you all inside of me
I'm standing here but I'm really gone
You see me as I go
You've been precious to me
I've been blessed in the way
But Now I'm falling I'm inside

Nostalgia 77 - Seven Nation Army


I'm gonna fight 'em all
A nation army couldn't hold me back
They're gonna rip it off
Taking their time right behind my back

And I'm talking to myself at night
Because I can't forget
Back and forth through my mind
Behind a cigarette
And the message coming from my eyes
Says leave it alone

Don't want to hear about it
Every single one's got a story to tell
Everyone knows about it
From the Queen of England to the hounds of hell

And if I catch it coming back my way
I'm gonna serve it to you
And that aint what you want to hear
But thats what I'll do
And the feeling coming from my bones
Says find a home

I'm going to Wichita
Far from this opera for evermore
I'm gonna work the straw
Make the sweat drip out of every pore
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding
Right before the lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will sing no more
And the stains coming from my blood
Tell me go back home

The Cinematic Orchestra - To Build a Home


There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills...
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust...
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home...

Cause, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from me
from you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust...

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me......


Cause, I built a home
for you
for me

Until it disappeared
from me
from you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust........

Fink - Pretty little thing



When she leaves,
she's just asking
to be followed.

When she walks out,
all she wants is
to be led.

All my boys say
she's just asking
for it.
And I ain't syaing nothing.

(Chorus)She couldn't care less
Wearing that dress.
Pretty little thing
Oh no
Hot little thing
Hot little thing and knows it.
Don't suppose it would be cool if we hung out?

'Cause when you walked by
you know every guy
noticed.

The way that your dress
clings on for the ride
mmhmm.

All my boys say
she's the type to
fake it.
And I ain't saying nothing.

Chorus

We could go out
we could go anywhere that you want.
We could stay in
we could do anything that you want.
We could do lunch
in Soho
or something.

'Cause when you walked in
all i want is
a reason
to talk to that girl
whose grace is so rare.

All my boys say
you won't get her
numbers.
I ain't saying nothing.
