Morcheeba Album

Take your time now
Feel like standing still
Get your baerings
Until

When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown

Full of tension
'Cause you love the chase
You just need your
Own space

When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown

When you've had enough
Of the faster stuff just slowdown
When you're sick from stress
Bust up in a mess slowdown

When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown
When the day is through
All you got to do is slowdown

When it's hot up there
And you got no air, slowdown
You just need some time
To fall back in line
Slowdown down down down down down

They wanted me here
Just to show you my face
But when it comes to the crunch
I just hide in disgrace
You're calling me mad
But I know you're the same
Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game
Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

A specimen like you
I would love to obtain
I asked a tedious guy if he'll tell me your name
I'd love to impress you
With a back somersault
I want to take out your love
But it's locked in a vault
I wanna take up your love
But it's locked in a vault

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

When i open my mouth
I'm so brutally honest
And i can't expect that kind of love from you
When you open your mouth
your teeth are beautifully polished
And i can't extract the pain you're going through
No i can't explain
The pain you're going through

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you womanise
I'm under your curse now
But I call it compromise
I'm under your curse

It ain't gonna hurt now
If you open up your eyes
You're making it worse now
Everytime you criticise
I'm under your curse now
But they call it compromise
I thought that you were wise
But you were otherwise

Battle cries
We make the swift retreat
Paradise
It don't come cheap
Square up to fight
Like dynamite

The flight is young
We're getting deep without an aqualung
Our will is strong
We got to work at where we're goin wrong

Buttercup
I think we missed a turn
Back it up
You'd think I'd learn
Your gelignite
Sets truth alight

The flight is young
We're getting deep without an aqualung
Our time is long
We got to find where we're coming from

Square up to fight
Like dynamite

The flight is young
We're getting deep without an aqualung
Our will is strong
We've got to work at where we're going wrong

Light years from here
We're gonna burn up in the atmosphere
It's crystal clear
We're coming swinging on the chandelier

Waiting in the club lounge
I slot in so systematicly
I wanna smash it to pieces
Release this hatred inside of me

You know you fill me with passion
But I just act apologetically
I'm gonna miss you in fashion
All ashen faced with my deceit

Sao Paulo
Why am I bringing me down?
Sao Paulo
If I drink any more I will drown
Sao Paulo
Why can't I fight truth decay?
Sao Paulo
My life is just one big cliche

Another stain on my passport
I wanna travel so futuristically
I just wish I could beam up, team up
And soon be on my way

You told me we'd go to Rio
And you said it so charismatically
I know it's me that's the nightmare
So fight fair or have some decency

Sao Paulo
Why am I bringing me down?
Sao Paulo
If I drink any more I will drown
Sao Paulo
Why can't I fight truth decay?
Sao Paulo
My life is just one big cliche

Sao Paulo
Why am I bringing me down
Sao Paulo
If I drink any more I will drown
Sao Paulo
Why can't I fight truth decay?
Sao Paulo
My life is just one big cliche

You sure put a spin on my day
Why am I heading your way
Everything is coming up grey
I'm just a humble DJ

All this fuss a lil more (more Morcheeba)
Props from here to singapore (Morcheeba)
All this fuss a lil more (Morcheeba)
Props from here to singapore (Morcheeba)

Yo'
Pull up in a all black 528 (errrr)
Fly new paint
Drive threw states
While you a'int
Can't get props cuz your styles to fake
Try new thing
Rap like me
Dance like D
One more chance like Biggy
Easy Coast Rock
Beats don't stop
Niggaz fall off mad teams go pop
Swing like spiderman and wall creaper
Pace Won rocks them all the tall creature
You don't like me
I ain't feelin ya'll neither
Ya'll need to roll your blunts with Morcheeba

This is how the east coast rocks
This is how Pace Won rocks
This is how the east coast rocks
This is how MJ rocks

(feat. Kurt Wagner)

Once a label is on something
It becomes an it
Like it's no longer alive

It's like a loss of vision
Or some dark impression
Or a black spot on your eye

If it's up to you
My little sweet baboo
Through the shouting and the fever
Think of life as queer
Think of it my dear
And some knobs or a fancy tone
From here there is no reason
Baby's got it made
But it's not what the life's about

What is imagination
May become a fact
If we think of it that way
If you want to know

I can tell you now
Oh if you make it through somehow
Or is it best to keep or fall to sleep
it isnt looking very good to me
from here

Hey
He's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know cause I forget

He's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know cause I forget

He's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know cause I forget

He's distressed and I forget
I don't wanna know

I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know
What do, new york
Couples fight about
Brothers gonna work it out
(Baby's got the bed sheet)
How do
(That was under you)
New york
(When your time and life expires)
Couples Fight it out
What these couples fight about
(Keeps it in the closet)
What do
(Keeps it to herself)
New york
(She should throw the damn thing out)
Couples fight about
But this gonna work it out
(Why should you continue)
How do
(To shake it off)
New york
(Would you write things on the wall?)
Couples fight it out
What these couples fight about
(You could make it hard)
To be
In the shouting you will see
Or is it best to change the world you're keeping
Down again
Hey

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget

Such is the sound of sorry
Without the shy report
or the grips that could hold you down
(just when things were looking up you act just like a horse's butt)
Everything was simple
but the body's worn
Got the life spread on the ground
(Powder pink and general, the kitchen sink, a funeral)
Every loving other
Don't you fade on me
Like a bomb that's about to blow
(Often we will overlook the things that make it undercooked)
We can make it hard
Or we can take the world apart
Or you'd never be that sure
Of the simple things that makes you want
To cry, again
Hey

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He's distressed
And I forget
I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
He's distressed
And I forget

Using your mind
Imagine our skin
Joined at the hip
Joined from within
By using your eyes
You're freezing my frame
Watching our clothes burst into flames

(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your eyes now
(Undress me now, you know how)

Using your mind
Using your mind

So give me a light
Or give me a drink
Just give me a reason
To feel what I think

(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your eyes now
(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your mind

(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your eyes now
(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your mind
Losing my mind

(Undress me now, you know how)
Using your eyes now
(Undress me now, you know how)
You know how, you know how
You know how, you know how

Driving with your
Handbrake on
But you can't smell the burning
Colliding with oblivion
Just to keep heads turning
Man i want some, pretty cash
It's ugly all that saving
Cause we could get so fabulous
When we're out Rolex raving
No craving

Oh we're way beyond our means
To buy these crazy things
Oh we're wasting our whole lives
In the struggle to survive

Get yourself in Debt for me
The grass don't get no greener
Have it all so far upfront
It doesn't take a dreamer
A beamer

Oh we're way beyond our means
We love these spending sprees
Oh we're wasting all our time
On some production line

But diving down the web we chute
We'll be ok if we uproot
Cause i don't mean no heavy family
Holding me

Oh we're way beyond our means
To buy these crazy things
Oh we're making them Swiss Francs
To burst there private banks
Oh we're way beyond our means
We love these spending sprees
Oh we're wasting our whole lives
In a struggle to survive

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

The name of this entertainement is
Women lose weight
Our first years of mariage everything was just great
But after two kids
And a weight gain factor
The fact is
Now she's completely unattractive
Look fat chicks
I don't mean to sound rude
I tell her nice hit the gym
And don't eat so much food
But no

Your shallow
You need to run the course of unconditionnal love and so forth

But how if desire's is not there
That's just delayment
Divorce is, child support, alimony payments
My happiness i doubt discouraged
So hurry for an easier way out of this marriage
Meanwhile my secretary June well groomed
When you gonna leave your wife
I tell her soon mommy soon i assume
Or my destiny is blue
Interestingly
The only thing left for me to do is to kill her

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

I'm gonna have to kill her

Of course there's laws which enforces divorces

Send that ass right to the morgue miss

My plans against or shenanigans
Kinda ran thin
Knowin' nothing about poisoning
And i can't swim
Bad intentions pumping
Might as well become numb
Cut her lungs or the obvious robbery gone wrong
But the catch is do i have the nerve to dispatch this
Who can i get to help me murder this fat chick
I guess i'll have to play a dude robbin on wednesday
The day she usually goes food shopping
Anyway long story short hit the side of her Chrysler
And sent her clean over the divider
"You bastard" she said as the wreck went tumblin down the hill
I thought "she has to be dead"
Later on get a call
(from a) Lieutenant O'Rourke
(had me) leapin like a frog
We need you at the morgue
So i selfishly persue
"boohoo" there was nothing else for me to do i had to kill her

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

C'mon ya'll know i had to kill her

Of course there's laws which enforces divorces

Send that ass right to the morgue miss
Kill her

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

C'mon ya'll know i had to kill her

Of course there's laws which enforces divorces

Send that ass right to the morgue miss

So you mean to tell me officer you don't have no clue who did this hit and run
No sir we don't have no clues right now
This is terrible what am i gonna tell the kids?
Pull yourself together sir
I'm so broken up inside i just can't believe this
I understand, I understand
Catch the person who did this
We're gonna try sir
Please

Screamin "who done took my heart" acting shakin up a lot
At the funeral though everyone was lookin at me odd like i did it
Like i was the reason my mates slain murmuring
"I heard he was displeased with her weight gain"
While my secretary sort of a sexy blonde can't cook
All she does is order from restaurants
All of the sex you want
I doubt could adress, clothes not washed proper and house look a mess and
Talkin to detectives that was waitin outside
How i took a long lunch break day the wife died
I darn near turned pale
And because of betrayal they indicted me, and gave me an impossible bail
Good fortune to anyone admiring the rawtent
Moral of the story is
Desire is important
So watch your weight
It'll keep you mate smitten it's a given
Though looking back i realised i didn't have to kill her

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

I didn't have to kill her

Of course there's laws which enforces divorces

Send that ass right to the morgue miss
I killed her

What a surpriser
Open your eyes, A
Woman advisor

I didn't have to kill her

Of course there's laws which enforces divorces

Send that ass right to the morgue miss

Well there you have it
Keep thin trim
Keep your mariage healthy
Do you know what i mean?
Small message from Morcheeba and Slick Rick the ruler

Peace

And so the end begins
As thunder rumbles in
Odds are stacked against us
Fat chances now seem slim

Get along
Get acquainted
Get along
Demonstrate it
Get along
Get creative
Get along

And so the deep ends
As day breaks swaggers in
Stagerring with no desire
I lose to watch you win

Get along
Get acquainted
Get along
Demonstrate it
Woooh... I'd give my life to win some love from you

Yo'
I'm Pace Won the gapper
Blast past the rapper
Laugh at your master
Snatch bags and smack ya
Rough songs AOP ass cap and afta
Add mass I'll grab ya
fast as ya blasta
can't match the bastards
stand back ya haveta
Rap times are crackin
Randsack your asthma
Ladies trends
Mercedes Benz
Shady friends
Lady's bend backwards

Get along
Get along

Get along
Get acquainted
Get along
Demonstrate it
Wouh... I'd give my life to win some love from you

They're for all to see
Selfcontained lovers
Welded orally
No run for cover
I'd join in the fun
If I had someone
But it seems I'm undone

These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be new
I can't wait for my next rejection
I'm always the first in the queue

Try to hold your soul
But I'll crush your spirit
Why do I feel so close?
When I can't get near it
I'm flooded with fear
and it don't disappear
But I'm still standing here

These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be new
So conscious of my imperfections
I've never lost interest in you

These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be new
You're natural overprotection
leaves me with nothing to do

These public displays of affection
Surely your love must be new
I've got no time for reflection
My service is long overdue
