Coldcut (콜드컷)은 영국의 명문 인디레이블 닌자튠 (Ninja Tune)의 설립자이자 20여년의 역사를 자랑하는 영국의 전설적인 일렉트로닉/댄스뮤직 듀오로 컴퓨터 프로그래머였던 Matt Black와 예술교사였던 Jonathan More이 1980년대 중반 만나 결성한 팀이다. 초창기에는 파티씬에서 디제이로서 명성을 쌓아온 이들은 당시 대표적인 해적 방송 Kiss FM을 통해 자신들의 쇼를 가질 정도로 알려지기 시작해 지금까지도 이어져오고 있는 디제이 믹스앨범 시리즈인 [Solid Steel]을 선보이면서 레이블 닌자튠의 초석을 다지는데 엄청난 이바지를 한다. 일본 여행 중에 영감을 얻어 지은 이름인 닌자튠은 Mr Scruff, The Cinematic Orchestra, Herbaliser, Kid Koala, Wagon Christ 등을 배출하며 영국을 대표하는 명문 인디레이블로 자리매김했으며, 2010년에는 20주년을 맞이해 월드투어를 성공리에 마치기도 했다. .... ....
Please Mr. Nichols come back inside the window I can't promise you anything, but I trust that there is far greater reason to live I know you've become disheartened and disillusioned by the current state of affairs Your stocks are falling, your investments have failed you The man from whom you took orders has been ordered to jail by his and your subordinates You question what is this world coming to What is the profit margin when you're forced to pander to the marginalized Where's the glory you dreamt of as a child.. Dressed as a cowboy, your play gun pointed at real targets Your mother, holding her tongue as your father consoles her with the words.. “it's just boy stuff”
Well You joined his fraternity, you grew into his old suits You acquired his beliefs, you embodied his dreams and with them his oversights. How long did you think it would last? It's just a matter of time. The world is far from over.
Look... Your mother outlives your father, Your sister outlives your brother. And if you jump from this window today.. She'll also outlive you. Look at her, sitting in her midwestern home, tuned into Oprah once again Today, she learns to meditate on a second-hand couch. Meanwhile, you stand outside this window Twelve stories above the ground One story remaining untold...
You contemplate the setting sun, Unaware of your disorientation. Dis-orient: turned away from the east. The shifting current seems to conspire against you. Mr. Nichols, you fail to see that you've always stood outside of this window, perched on the threshold of oblivion. Countless man made stories above the truth For so long you've stood facing the setting sun Mistaking the complimentary unified duality of nature as being right or wrong Good or evil God or devil Mr. Nichols instead of stepping from this ledge into the downfall of your up rise Why not just turn around Lessen the intensity of your western glare and face the rising sun Note the energy swirling from its center How it illumines us all and only the birds fly first class...
There is your inheritance! The warmth of a kiss Invest your tongue into the mouth of mystery Allow her breath to seep into your lungs and surrender to her touch and guidance There's no other way Your dreams of dominance will only help you forsake yourself While your family continues its search for understanding And your daughters outlive your sons...
Time washes over like a wave goodbye Time washes over like a wave goodbye Time washes over like a wave goodbye Time washes over like a wave goodbye Colours the soul Colours the soul
Time washes over Colours the soul Time washes over like a wave goodbye Colours the soul Time washes over like a wave goodbye Time washes over like a wave goodbye Colours the soul Time washes over like a wave goodbye Colours the soul
(Chorus) Whomsoever dont know best get to know were to cool Giving them cuts so cold it's true skool Far from the regular nothin used to Them kind of style is shock and spruce too Mind and soul in tune and loose too (Cooler than, cooler than cool!)
Till a badman, get out! move from here! Tonight we celebrate like we dont care, you just Pump your fist and stamp your footsie If you cant dance just wiggle your tootsie All nations site from the rebel arrangement Rebel engagement - peace in the lover! Calypso dance hall punk step and dub! New wave old wave genre define
Spitting on the a list we know the line Its the application of the citation, its the Iration of the of a gyration, its the Inclination of them that's inclined to Keep the thing mine For tis the bigger picture Biblical decendants scribes a new scripture Articulation of the incantation is the Foundation of the emancipation
(Chorus)
Mind weight ready warped Roads of many sign distraction Many find time for tubby bye bye Me oh my my oh me Tis it so simplistic Child's play man's play Could it be sadistic? Head space locked in them plastic gods There's too much! there's too many reasons! To keep deceiving To keep on believing in the Oh blah ra ra the sloganeers The crocodile pain, the crocodile tears She dont really need that brand new nose And he dont really need slave shoes or slave clothes But were far too busy to keep our mind privy Too the blessed is the man and the Grammar the host ease
Ready to receive the rich a cold breeze All we really need is to plant the god seed Something to live for Something to believe
Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight, The words that you said have come true. Autumn leaves fall and are swept out of sight, So is the memory of love that we knew.
The wind of forgetfullness blows them Into the night of regret. The song we so often did sing, Is echoing echoing yet.
The falling leaves, Drift by the window. The autumn leaves of red and gold. I see your lips, The summer kisses, The sunburned hands I used to hold.
Since you went away, The days grow long, And soon I'll hear cold winter song. But I miss you most of all, my darling, When autumn leaves start to fall.
