Maxi Jazz

Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes

To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace , it's a kind of peace

With the years doors have been locked and windows closed
And the things I'm sure I knew are no longer due
But I see comfort in my home, in my heart
To make a kind of peace, it's a kind of peace

And above me if there is nothing and no one knew I really care
It's just a now, a now I prefer, not the future and not the past
So put the chairs to one side and let us dance
It's a strange kind of peace

It's a kind of peace, it's a strange kind of peace
It's a kind of peace

Being here in the darkness, starless sky
It's quieter than a church before the crowds arrive
And the world is mine and no one else sees
With my thanks and love in my thoughts and wishes

To give and to ask, it's a kind of peace
It's a kind of peace

So much more than I thought

this world could ever hold

So much more than I thought

this world could ever hold



We think we're heroes, we think we're kings

We plan all kinds of fabulous things

Oh look how great we have become



Key in the door, the moment I've been longing for

Before my bag hit the floor

My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss,

and a story, they're a gift to this world

My only claim to glory

I surely never knew sweeter days

Blows my mind like munitions

I'm amazed



So much heaven, so much hell

So much love, so much pain

So much more than I thought

this world could ever contain

So much war, so much soul

One man's loss, another man's goal

So much more than I thought this world can ever hold



We're just children, we're just dust

We are small and we are lost

And we're nothing, nothing at all



One bomb, the whole block gone

Can't find me children and dust covers the sun

Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion

But to some, another fun day in Babylon

I'm gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun

My life is done so now I got to kill someone



So much heaven, so much hell

So much love, so much pain

So much more than I thought

this world could ever contain

So much war, so much soul

One man's loss, another man's goal

So much more than I thought

this world could ever hold



So much more than I thought

this world could ever hold

So much more than I thought

this world could ever hold



So much heaven, so much hell

So much love, so much pain

So much more than I thought

this world could ever contain

So much war, so much soul

One man's loss, another man's goal

So much more than I thought

this world could ever hold

I hope you understand
What fear is before you have to feel it
I hope my neurosis don't rub off on you
I hope you always have enough to eat

I hope you're never bullied
And I hope you never bully others
I hope you find love
I hope you don't die before your time

I hope you don't blame yourself
For things that are not your fault
I hope you're always playing your tape
And I hope you'll visit me when I'm old

I hope you are true to yourself
I hope that rejection doesn't stop you loving
I hope you never experience war

What are you come to teach me?
Well, would you want 'Philosophy'
Or 'The New Wayne Rooney'?
Will it be poetry that lights your eyes?
Mine are shining and my tears flow free
Oh my son, what have I done?

Brought perfection to this world
Of confusion heedlessly
Now you're the one feeding me
Because I never knew love like this

Endlessly reaching back through eternity
That I can clearly see in your face
When you smile at me and grab my finger

I hope you outlive your parents
I hope you never bury your children

I hope you outlive your parents
I hope you never bury your children

I don't mind whether you're a boy or a girl
I just want you to be healthy
I hope we enjoy every minute of you growing up
I hope you lead your world to victory

Lines to the skin
That have seen
Neither sun nor sin

Tubes to the mouth
Cannot laugh or sigh
Or even cry

A drop in the ocean
A second and all time
One stop in the endless sky

But you mean
The whole world to me
You're an island of light
So please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day

Stay one more
Stay one more
Stay one more day

Just one more
Just one more
Just one more day

All this madness around us
You are knowing
And so still

You were made in love
Grew in hope
Were born in pain

You have them running round
Trying to make you breath again

One tiny link
In and endless chain

But you mean
The whole world to me
You're an island of light
So please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day
Please last this day
Stay one more day

For all those who stood up and were counted
For all those for whom money was no motive
For all those for whom music was a message
I want to thank you

For making me
A little more sure
A little more wise
And courageous

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won't stop here
I won't be still until the sun sets
On us all..

Under the sheets with my radio
Turn down low
So nobody know
It's the late night show
Hopin' to hear 'Hey Joe'
Jimi was my hero
Head blown by Todd R. A wizard a true star
From BAMMALAMMA to TAMLA MO
Curtis Mayfield
to Kurtis Blow
Singing into my pillow
And praying I don't dose
Until my 9 Volt battery goes..

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won't stop here
I won't be still until the sun sets
On us all..

You told me to look much further
You told me to walk much more
You told me that music matters
And to chase the dogs back from my door

I won't stop here
I won't be still until the sun sets
On us all..

You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..
You told me that music matters..

Now you can't do it fast, it won't be an [Incomprehensible] you
I'm not going to bed
Just do it, do it, that's right
Here we go

Saving all my money for a pocketful of love
And food in my tummy
Chocolate and broccoli
Sand and dirt and squashing snails
I'm never going to bed but if I do
Selfish crocodile's coming too

Train sets, birthdays and re-living
Pizzas, diggers and dirty things
What I want is a car like Noddy
And to live with the monkeys in the zoo
I'm never going to bed but if I do
Hungry caterpillar's coming too

He's coming, yeah
He's coming
He's coming, yeah
Here he is

On candy stripe legs, spider man comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim, shivering in bed

Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
Suddenly a movement in the corner of the room
And there is nothing I can do and I realize with fright
The spider man is having me for dinner tonight

The spider man is always hungry

Under the covers, boy
You been reading those comics for hours
I bet you didn't know your dad had super powers
Now where's your dinner
When we play down the rules with your ma?
She gave me vexed when me flex me ex-rapism

It'll come son, the way is you'll develop it later on
Also the back river run for nothing but wisdom
'Cause you're the born sky walker, I may be everyone
Now give me your comic book
Go to sleep and don't make your mama come

She the only one with the kryptonite
So I don't wanna hear another peep, alright?

The spider man is always hungry
The spider man is always hungry

"Come into my parlor", said the spider to the fly
"For I have a little something here"

Here it comes, here it comes
Here it comes, here he is
Yeah, life bring it on, give it to me
I love it, I can't get enough
I can never get enough
I can't get enough sleep

What is this?
Headphones
What is it for doing?
So you put them on your ears
And you can hear music

From there?
Yeah, from the microphone
What's that in the microphone?
A diaphragm
I, I speak in the microphone
Heyo, heyo, heyo

Although I don't really know how to handle you
I will have nobody kicking no sand in your face
Not even a trace of bland in you
Teenage and it's a trouble understanding you

You got plenty of energy and stamina
Forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in you
There's a bit of, 'I don't give a damn' in you, ha
And that's your old man in you

Stand in your way, never or ever abandon ya
And on the day people say what they can't stand in ya
Don't let your ego get out of hand on ya
It ain't a good look when crook-kharma land on ya

Balance yourself, bring out the Zinedine Zidane in you
The I will and I can in you
Execute the grand plan in you
I'm your daddy and happy to see the man in you

Might know too much but I'm no soft touch
Brought you up, to recognize lies as such
I need no crutch, child hood was arduous
And if there is a God I'm sure He would pardon us
Must be working hard in us, not to harden us

10, that you really wanna be
20, exactly what you see is on telly
11, you can't tell him anything
That he don't know already

12, they get together steady
Explore the 1st keeping up with the many
13, none of them are ready
Living on old raised broke not a penny

14, baby in the belly
She's all done a runner another no daddy
15, Nanny and she loves it dearly
Head strong proving all along but wary

16, scale we were quite contrary
This is how the garden grows
This is how the garden grows

Children, you still own the power
To turn this into your finest hour
Now a young ma mum that mistake
Can make a contribution why don't we wait and see

Give back the mothers their dignity
And the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility
This society needs to learn empathy

It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me
It happened to you, it could happen to me

Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour

Birds and bees without flowers
Girls be strong, boys don't cower
Stand by your seat, scream and shower
Oh, how the sweet can turn sour

In our world, Malaria kills a child every 30 seconds.
11 Million children die every year of mal-nutrition.
(To all new arrivals, welcome)

In our world, 15 Million children have been orphaned by AIDS.
30,000 children die of preventable causes every day.
(To all new arrivals, welcome)

In our world, 2 million children are working in the sex trade this moment.
1.1 Billion people in the world, earn less than a dollar a day.

-Chorus x2

(Chorus)
To all new arrivals, we love you.


We would die for you, kill for you, ahhh... Welcome.

If theres a God, be aware, I'm a man newly made.
My son lies here, and only of him, am I afraid.
As I gaze into that face, I perceive that which is true.
I created him, and we created you... in his image.

-Chorus

And I never knew love like this.

-Chorus x2

Packing your bags like people in the movies do,
All severe, and not saying a word,
And I'm sitting down here just watching you,
And I'm thinking:
Where is all the love gone?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave,
You got me hurting,
Don't leave
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, don't leave.
Hanging with friends like we used to do,
I didn't know anything was wrong,
And last night while I was thinking it through,
Trying to find who am I and what do you need me to do?
Don't leave.
There's a record you used to play,
there's Joannie (as in Mitchel??) singing
'best to be without you',
And I know just what she's singing for,
Where did all the love go?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave.
You got me hurting,
Don't leave.
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Oh, don't leave.
Where did all the love go?
Where's the love gone to?
Don't leave.
We'll fly around the world, give you what you're giving me,
I should have dressed you up in pearl,
Finest silk to touch your skin,
Don't know how to write a love song,
But Don't leave.
You got me hurting,
Don't leave.
You know it's never been easy to love someone like me,
Don't leave.
Don't leave.
Don't leave.
Don't leave

O Woman

[Maxi Jazz]
I love the way you're so deliberate,
How you light your cigarette
Head on one side as you pull, you look almost regal.
I'm digging it, on your mobile, one eye closed
Blue smoke curling out your nose
Wearing one of my shirts and what some call panty hose
Cause you look wicked in scanty clothes,
Long legs like an antelope
You're my antidote to city life, my pretty wife
Hooked up the year before
Together thirteen outta twenty four
And you would never guess
I wanna miss you less and see you more,
See you more, see you more, see you more

And when I kiss you I'm never sure
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?

[LSK]
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!

[Maxi Jazz]
I can gauge your mood, from your approach to food
You use ya rude red shoes to accessorize your attitude
Desensitized to my roving eyes, and ready smile
I get loving that's versatile,
Worth that extra smile lying next to me
Your textured voice whispering,
I'm listening with my whole skin
Holding onto the moment for all its worth
How could I continue to be the sky without my earth

And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?

[LSK]
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
It's a natural grace
Of watching young life shape
It's in minor keys
Solutions and remedies
Enemies becoming friends
When bitterness ends
This is my church [3x]

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
It's in the world I become
Content in the hum
Between voice and drum
It's in change
The poetic justice of cause and effect
Respect, love, compassion
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurt
For tonight
God is a DJ [3x]
This is my church [3x]

I want more
I want some
And then some
And do you know what I wanna hear?

I want more
I want some more
And then some
I want more [3x]

You know how I love that stuff
I want more [3x]

[Maxi Jazz]
I want more

[Nina Simone]
I want more
The waiting's been so long, so long.
I want more
Been so long

[Maxi Jazz]
I want more

More oneness, less categories,
Open hearts, no strategies.
Decisions based upon faith and not fear.
People live right now and right here.
I want the wisdom that wise men revere.

[Maxi Jazz & Nina Simone]
I want more [4x]

[LSK]
Love is you [Repeat: x 2]

[Maxi Jazz]
My TV barks at me, from the corner
Life on the street is like a sauna, it's too hot.
Put bars around what you've got,
And the whole city lucky that we ain't been shot.

We got full blown decent into argument
Here we go.
Times to overthrow the parliament, so
In these struggled times

I want to know, do you
Make a stand or just follow the flow
Even though, you know why' leaders are fullup of ego
Do we go where the others go and lay low

Only moving on someone elses say so
I say no!
What's in my heart is unexplainable
I ain't a fool

And happiness is attainable
And even on the days when rain will fall
I still plan to love and I always will
It's a calling from when I rise in the morning

This is a love we were born in
Ya tap it and it just keep coming and coming and coming

[LSK]
Love is you, love is us, love is ...

[Maxi Jazz]
Hmm. It's a powerful thing that can make a man sing
And bring people together with strength of feeling
Now, be connected from the floor to ceiling
Ecuador to Beijing become all the same thing

Like a movement, love too strong to deny
Born to fly but we stay grounded and I don't know why
We have a powerful tool, no need to cry
With it you separate the truth from a lie

The point I want to make,
Is you could never escape from your fate,
The mistake is to take without giving.
So, break the tradition.

Make a decision, cause no matter how hard you try
You're still in prison,
If ya born with wings and you never fly
Listen, you don't stop,

Especially when the going gets rough.
That's when it's real
And I love that stuff,

[LSK]
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed

Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed

[Maxi Jaz]
And I love that stuff [Repeat: x 2]

[LSK]
Should you hear somebody cry,
"The end is nigh",
Don't you buy that line.
Tomorrow's always yesterday

Love's yet to have it's day and you've got all the time
Planes crashing, trains crashing people dropping bombs,
Nothing new, what go come around now
Child it won't be long.

Keep keeping up,
Everything will be alright tomorrow
Keep keeping
Hey you yeah you don't let it get to you, stressing you

It's what they want you to do,
Smile a while even though it hurts
Even though it hurts
Come on let them know they'll be no breaking you

Love's gonna come around again,
And again and again and on,
Nothing new that go come around now
Child it won't be long.

Keep keeping up,
Everything will be alright tomorrow
Keep keeping

My dad came into my room holding his hat
I knew he was leaving,
he sat on my bed told me some facts, son.
I have a duty, calling on me
You and your sister be brave my little soldier
And don't forget all I told ya
Your the mister of the house now remember this
And when you wake up in the morning give ya momma a kiss
Then I had to say goodbye

In the morning woke momma with a kiss on each eyelid,
Even though I'm only a kid
Certain things can't be hid
Momma grabbed me
Held me like I was made of gold
But left her inner stories untold
I said, momma it will be alright
When daddy comes home, tonight

You're coming right back here to live out your karma
With even more drama than previously
Seriously...
Just how many centuries have we been
waiting for someone else to make us free
And we refuse to see
That people overseas suffer just like we
Bad leadership and ego's unfettered and free
Who feed on the people they're supposed to lead
I don't need good people to pray and wait
For the lord to make it all straight
There's only now, do it right.
Cos I don't want your daddy, leaving home tonight

I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I




I've put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There's only one thing you should know (2x)

[LSK]
No roots, no tree, no family, no way,
No roots, no tree, no family, no way.

[LSK]
A mans life got took away in the city today, they say
But never tell how many's been born
Inform us of a top notch surgeon's mistake
But not the many lives he's saved before

Show us starving kids through expensive lenses
On a far and distant shore
Of which, when sold, could feed a good few
Hey mister rich - Why don't you help the poor

Bad news, sad news, never no good news
S'all they print and beam
Make a child believe that there ain't no love
Well hey, love lives on my street.

Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed

Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed

Back up from the crap and the desert of dying sons
Me I'm trying to come to terms and learn as one
Way to display the way I'm feeling, I need healing
From the floor to the ceiling,
But I'm not gonna sit n' die while time ticks by
I gotta get up, stand up, before I break up into pieces
Iron out the creases,
Find out what peace is.

[LSK slow]
Love is you [Repeat: x 2]

Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction
Inaction is a weapon of mass destruction

My story stops here, lets be clear
this scenario is happenin everywhere
and you ain't go

[Nina Simone]
O Woman

[Maxi Jazz]
I love the way you're so deliberate,
How you light your cigarette
Head on one side as you pull, you look almost regal.
I'm digging it, on your mobile, one eye closed
Blue smoke curling out your nose
Wearing one of my shirts and what some call panty hose
Cause you look wicked in scanty clothes,
Long legs like an antelope
You're my antidote to city life, my pretty wife
Hooked up the year before
Together thirteen outta twenty four
And you would never guess
I wanna miss you less and see you more,
See you more, see you more, see you more

And when I kiss you I'm never sure
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?

[LSK]
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!

[Maxi Jazz]
I can gauge your mood, from your approach to food
You use ya rude red shoes to accessorize your attitude
Desensitized to my roving eyes, and ready smile
I get loving that's versatile,
Worth that extra smile lying next to me
Your textured voice whispering,
I'm listening with my whole skin
Holding onto the moment for all its worth
How could I continue to be the sky without my earth

And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
And when I kiss you, I'm never sure,
How do I get to miss you less and see you more?

[LSK]
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!
Miss you less, see you more, love to know you better!

I was there when trees died as the world went cold
Still there when my people were bought and sold
What's going on? What's going on?

Your love is on a grand scale
Mine is in the detail
Your love is to change the world
We just want to have to hold

Two hearts, both forgiving
Two ways to see the same thing
One house there's room for all
We just want to have to hold (2x)

No roots, no tree, no family, no me

Our first fuck was more planning than luck
I had a deep understanding of what makes you (hot)
I did my homework till my dome hurt, I was a stone flirt
Hustling for some prone work, and I don't stop
I knew that you were good for me,
You 'n I fit together so beautifully
But only for three years were we in harmony

I've ended up part you, part me,
Love that we agree, not to be ugly
And now that we're free to create our own destiny
You will always be a friend to me
My love persists over land and sea, through centuries
I'll fill you up like rice and peas,

Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.
Like the breeze, Cool ya skin, fill your hair,
Even when I'm not there.

Making sips of your pop skin

All I need to know it
What more I have to do

All I need to know it
What more I have to do

What do you want?

It's been so long (2x)
Without this feeling
It's been so long

[Maxi Jazz]
Come on [Repeat: x 3]

I know you so intimately
Anger and misery
The reason for my heart's fragility
How will it be if you simply set me free
Restore my ability, to hold my head high
To speak only truth where I used to lie
Goodbye to the enemy, it's been too long
Come on

What about love? [Repeat: x 5]
Come on
I know you so intimately
Your heady sensuality
The reason for my heart's fragility
How will it be if you simply come back to me
Restore my stability
Take your fill of me
Finally in step like the military
And just as strong, it's been so long
Come on

What about love? [Repeat: x 5]

Fields of fire that passed the train
The sky is victorious but here comes the rain
Friday is taking me home again,
And I've nothing but you on my mind.
Grass is greener without the pain,
I think that I'm changing but I'm just the same
My sun is a ascending again
And I've nothing but you on my mind
Sometimes I feel like I'm glad to be free,
Sometimes I still want your arms around me
Sometimes I'm glad to have left you behind,
The Crazy English Summer has put you back on my mind.
Life's a riot a lover a friend,
Pity the day that it has to end
Friday come speed me home again,
I've nothing but you on my Mind.
Sometimes I feel like i'm fine on my own,
Fifty Thousand miles from home.
Sometimes I'm weak and the past is my guide,
Summer returns and puts you back on my mind

[Instrumental]
Quiet...
Still...
You feel there's nothing going on
Until you release
The space behind your eyes
Is filling up with something like peace
Your thoughts seize
Pleasure grows in your soul
The space behind your eyes
Is filling up with something like peace
Your thoughts seize
Pleasure grows in your soul
[Background] This is the part where I start to impart

Running with my rain face on
Today I woke up feeling sad
I know that you said,
That one day I would be glad
Hold the Choirs of Winter,

The Birds are calling to me and
All the leaves I came to love are falling
Ribbons on evergreen, owls that pull them apart
I can hear you singing my funny valentine
Oh you know that breaks my heart
Hold the choirs of winter,
The Birds are calling to me and
All the leaves I came to love

Oh you know that breaks my heart
Oh you know that breaks my heart

Running with my rain face on
No Idea of what to say
No idea of who to do
In this fear that never goes
Waiting for all my dreams
Oh you know it breaks my heart
Hold the Choirs of Winter,
The Birds are calling to me and
All the leaves I came to love

Oh you know it breaks my heart
Oh you know it breaks my heart
Oh you know That breaks my heart

Remember Emily?

In a long dress one summers day she said yes
Now every special requests requires another
So many times it feels endless, a big yes
Branded red on each breast
But she selfless out there
Doing her best strangest scene
Nobody seemed to be impressed.
The more she do for this fool
The more she behind schedule
Had no fun for so long
Old records turned her onto High School flings
And she was full of daring

Colorful hair used to wear thirteen rings
Now she staring gludgery
Full in the face and accepts it as her place
And just incase there's anything she missed,
She recheck the list
Does it over again,
To make sure it's spotless.

Jimmy longed for how it used to be,
She was viscous and volatile
She was feisty, iced tea was the tipple never asked nicely
Her lips used to Curl down ever so slightly, impolite,
Fire burned bright behind the Oakley,
We just had to get to grips.

After a few long sipped juice begin to lose flavour,
She no longer gets to savor being consumed.
Jimmy sleeps drunk in the other room still in his shoes
Escaping head long into the booze,
The whole house vibrating with the changes of moods.

From feisty she turned into being nice to me
In the old days he'd of been wearing Ice T,
Jimmy Cradles times return,
She was fine and so beautifully unconcerned.

Jimmy Told her on the day he quit
You don't love me you love the relationship

Me?
I'm the prodeney product of Misogheny,
Jimmy and Emily Harmogeny
They promised me nothing but honesty,
And that's all I got,
I could never be the cement in their destiny,
They still haven't forgiven me,
You know my own woman is leaving me
Said she stopped believing me,
Cant even see what she saw in me,
I told my woman she was beautiful,
She didn't believe,
Convinced herself I was preparing to leave,
so she took my son and left the world free.

I told my woman she was beautiful Ten Times a Day,
Ten Times a Day she would Smile, and look away.

I end up throwing my love down a bottomless pit.
And giving myself away...

If you place a thing into the center of your life
That lacks the power to nourish
It will eventually poison everything that you are
And destroy you
A simple a thing as an idea
Or your perspective on yourself of the world
No one can be the source of your contempt,
It lies within, in the center.
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Only with mellow while your thin enough to slide through
Don't let nothing ride you.
If the sun or the moon should keel away to die,
They would immediately go out .
One.
Swallow don't make a sound,
But tomorrow has to start somewhere.
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This Child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize
Newspapers entertain,
Lion Tamers die in pain
This child wise beyond words
Whose tears flow without seize

When there's no where, left to run to
Let me come to you, let me help you down
For when the world, gives you tomorrow
Your gonna learn to live again

we can learn to go,
oh learn as we go
Just to live, for the day
I know it's hard, to live for the moment
Just try, anyway
Newspapers, Lion Tamers, This Child,
Lion Tamers, Lion Tamers

you will see me as a super star
And you'll have time to waste with your minions and tink

I see your face in front of me,
Still grainy from that old black and white TV
My whole family silenced,
Watching you shape destiny with your 2 hands,
Faster than the eye can see.
Mesmerizing
You know what skinny little me started to struggle,
10 years old suddenly bold
Cause I resolved to live like my hero in the ring,
Be smart never give an inch,
No retreat when I'm wrapped up
Respect from teachers, Red Necks
And creatures who attack in a pack
Like incensed never seen the light not before or
Since a young prince
And I remain convinced of his invincibility
Athletic agility, virility,
Seen your free spirit for every through eternity stings
Like a bee Mr Muhammed Ali
I want to know who you are!
I want to know who you are!
I want to know who you are!
Your achievements defy belief
from the belly of the beast Rising like yeast,
My release from low self esteem
Came when I saw you rapping on my TV screen.
Float like a butterfly,
That describes my walk to school after fight night I felt so cool
cause I was at place too,
Love myself born slippy
Outta love for you,
And I knew that someday people would love me too.
None of that heckling about my black skin got through,
I would walk bare foot through hell for you,
It was how I felt back then I would still do for you,
So accept these humble words of praise,
And my gratitude for those glorious days
And your victorious ways,
Instilled in the young minds,
Skill sublime yours to mine!
I want to know who you are!

Now when you climbInto your bed tonight
And when you lockAnd hold the door
Just think of thoseOut in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climb
And when you lock
Just think of thoseout in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Until you wake up
You people need a shake up
You take up so much time
Worrying, Scurrying,Here, there,
Losing your hearNo money to spare no
love to share no
wonder you appear under pressure from here
You look fresh, yeah
But all I got is dirt in my hear
My nightmares manifest,But I can escape
Yours is in your chestWith no formal shape
The tape is runningI push the button to send
Upon each other we all dependMessage end
Whoever asks my nameOr where I came from
People fear contaminationIf they chary too longI
carry a strongSin of despairIt's in the air
I’m broken and hard to repair
I may mistaken beBut I patiently wait
On the pad to humanityI sit at the gates
Now when you climbInto your bed tonight
And when you lockAnd hold the door
Just think of thoseOut in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round
Now when you climbInto your bed tonight
And when you lockAnd hold the door
Just think of thoseOut in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul,Down the river
My liver in bad conditionLike my skin
Rain falling, once againI'm in my bed
Hurt the time inI'm gonna struggle for air
There's hair in my food
When I get it usually someone already half ate it
Touch it, not to let itGet me down
But my head starting to pad
People go round, and round and round
From one I get a cigarette
A little more love found
But the ground is still wet
My chief are chattering
And there's a spattering of seeds
Sometimes I lose all feeling in my feet
When I sleep I'll do my deep in the mainstream
But unaccountably my heart was growing
Small and meanA hurry past
Ridged people I pretend I haven't seen
But there's money in my pocket
And my clothes are clean?

I said money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
Money in my pocket
But I just can't give no love
i said money in my pocket
but i just can't give no love
money in my pocket
but i just can't give on love
Now when you climb
And when you lock
Just think of thoseOut in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

'Cause there is not enough love to go round

You can sleep forever,
but still you will be tired
You can stay as cold as stone,
but still you won't find peace
With you I feel I'm the meek leading the blind
With you I feel I'm just spending wasting time
I've been waiting I'm still waiting
I've been waiting I've been waiting
I've been waiting I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far One step too far

You can walk too far
but still you won't be found
You can look down on the world
but still you won't find love
You won't find love,
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through,
If the sun or the moon would give way to doubt
They would immediately go out.
One swallow doesn't make a summer
But tomorrow has to start somewhere
I'm only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through,
I'm only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through,
I'm only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through,
One swallow doesn't make a summer
I've been waiting I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far

I've been waiting I'm still waiting
I've been waiting I've been waiting
I've been waiting I'm still waiting
I'm with you (with you)
It's always one step too far
(One step too far)

Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets
I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear
Your heart is in my province hour upon hour
I shiver when you feel the cold,
Everything you say I hear
Like a bomb and its fuse,
We bring bright light
But I could be a devil to you
I could bite like a tarantula
Right through the skin
And leave my poison dream.

Deliciously Unsuspecting
Protecting you from all harm
Except perhaps from reasoning

All the subtle flavors of my life
are become bitter seeds
and poisoned leaves
without you

You represent what's true
I drain the color from the sky
And turn blue
without you

These arms lack a purpose
Flapping like a humming-bird
I'm nervous 'cause
I'm the left eye
you're the right

Would it not be madness to fight
We come 1

In you the song which rights my wrongs
In you the fullness of living
The power to begin again
From right now, in you

I'm on lonely street age nearly three
Recently Mama's crying all the time
is it because of me or my younger sister,
even Dad was weeping when he kissed her.
Face all puffy like a blister,
crying like he missed her.
Since we moved away from the house,
where we used to play.
They say I'll understand on day but I doubt it,
Mama never say nothing about it.
How'd it get to be so crowded.
I found it a strain, everywhere I look I see pain.
And I can't escape the feeling,
maybe I'm to blame. So I strain to listen,
Praying for a decision, wishing they where kissing.
This feels like extradition or exile,
Mama finds it hard to smile
So I make pretend cups of coffee in her favorite style.
She says child I'm working so there's nothing you lack.
But she know I want my Dad I want my family back.

I'm on Lonely Street, age forty three.
Couldn't gauge when to quit so my wife quit me.
Took offense, took the kids,
I wish that was the end.
But before she took her leave
she took care of my best friend.
Working all the hours.
God send was not the tactic
You see, because after ten years I'm
[??]. Wanted to make the cash
quick so I had to work real late.
Bad sex, my woman's vex, even if I stay awake.
And if I'm honest, I had a little cake at the office.
I was eating. We'd do our cheating over coffees,
making tea for the bosses.
Making free with me,
and I agree I got sleazy too easily.
But I'm forty three,
this doesn't usually happen to me.
Now I'm lonely,
I wonder what my son's doing today.
Suddenly I'm blinking like the screen
on my computer display.
And I'm drinking.
Concerned about what's down the track
if I don't get my family back.

I want my family back

I'm on Lonely Street, number fifty three.
Boarded up property,
I'll probably get pulled down.
Litter all around inside there's
no sound and no light.
But yo it gets busy at night, People creeping.
Derelicts sneaking to fix. Speaking.
On the way my timbers creaking,
Roof leaking. And bricks coming loose,
knee high in refuse.
But even though I'm a slum,
I'm still of some use.
There was a time when my walls where decorated.
And under my roof children where educated.
But now paint's faded, windows are all smashed,
a crash in the economy robbed me of my family.
And no strategy, combats negative equity,
so that's it. Like violence it's drastic.
I'm freaking, and seeking to be
more than just a house for crack.
Somebody bring my family back.

I'm on lonely street age nearly three
Recently Mama's crying all the time
is it because of me or my younger sister,
even Dad was weeping when he kissed her.
Face all puffy like a blister,
crying like he missed her.
Since we moved away from the house,
where we used to play.
They say I'll understand on day but I doubt it,
Mama never say nothing about it.
How'd it get to be so crowded.
I found it a strain, everywhere I look I see pain.
And I can't escape the feeling,
maybe I'm to blame. So I strain to listen,
Praying for a decision, wishing they where kissing.
This feels like extradition or exile,
Mama finds it hard to smile
So I make pretend cups of coffee in her favorite style.
She says child I'm working so there's nothing you lack.
But she know I want my Dad I want my family back.

I'm on Lonely Street, age forty three.
Couldn't gauge when to quit so my wife quit me.
Took offense, took the kids,
I wish that was the end.
But before she took her leave
she took care of my best friend.
Working all the hours.
God send was not the tactic
You see, because after ten years I'm
[??]. Wanted to make the cash
quick so I had to work real late.
Bad sex, my woman's vex, even if I stay awake.
And if I'm honest, I had a little cake at the office.
I was eating. We'd do our cheating over coffees,
making tea for the bosses.
Making free with me,
and I agree I got sleazy too easily.
But I'm forty three,
this doesn't usually happen to me.
Now I'm lonely,
I wonder what my son's doing today.
Suddenly I'm blinking like the screen
on my computer display.
And I'm drinking.
Concerned about what's down the track
if I don't get my family back.

I want my family back

I'm on Lonely Street, number fifty three.
Boarded up property,
I'll probably get pulled down.
Litter all around inside there's
no sound and no light.
But yo it gets busy at night, People creeping.
Derelicts sneaking to fix. Speaking.
On the way my timbers creaking,
Roof leaking. And bricks coming loose,
knee high in refuse.
But even though I'm a slum,
I'm still of some use.
There was a time when my walls where decorated.
And under my roof children where educated.
But now paint's faded, windows are all smashed,
a crash in the economy robbed me of my family.
And no strategy, combats negative equity,
so that's it. Like violence it's drastic.
I'm freaking, and seeking to be
more than just a house for crack.
Somebody bring my family back.

Oh I wish I could be
touched by the hem of his garment

To be proud has
Never been
So mean, so hard, so stern, so cruel
Oh I wish I could be
Touched by the hem of his garment

Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way

Touch the hem of his garment

And anger should be
The tool of a clown, or a fool you see
Why should spite and such pain
Hang between you and me
When love should be
The queen on her thrown looking after own

Wish I could be
Touched by the hem of his garment

Two chairs
This table
One bed
In this house
Seriously
I think we could be, feel we could be
Touched by the hem of his garment

Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way

Touch the hem of his garment

Maxi Jazz in background: ...wish he was a man

Pauline:
Oh I wish I could be touched by the hem of his garment

Maxi Jazz in background: ...in a dream...

Pauline:
To be proud has never been so mean, so hard, so strange, so cruel
Oh I wish I could be touched by the hem of his garment

Mmmmm, I've come a long way (5x)
Touch the hem of his garment

Dagger should be the tool of a clump.
I'm a fool, you see

Maxi Jazz in background: it's not...

Pauline:
Why should such violence, such pain hang between you and me
When love should be a queen on her throne looking after her own
I wish I could be touched by the hem of his garment
Two chairs, this table, one leg, in this house
Seriously, I think we could be,
Feel we could be, touched by the hem of his garment

Pauline / chorus:
Mmmmm, I've come a long way (5x)
Touch the hem of his garment

Oh I wish I could be
touched by the hem of his garment

To be proud has
Never been
So mean, so hard, so stern, so cruel
Oh I wish I could be
Touched by the hem of his garment

Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way
Mmmm mmmm I've come a long way

I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
Another train leavin' home,
conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack,
settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
Not cover my mistakes,
try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye
The last thing you hear before your life disappear

Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,
feel like I've been cursed.
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock,
this place is like a padlock
You look shocked.
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near,
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell

I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found,
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
of syringes

J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows,
oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
cage
And write another stage into a new age,
it's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone

Jerome took me home under steel skies
Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies
And he surmised
No surprise couldn't hear that
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
Not knowing how and not knowing when.

Now it just gets worse, like my stomach 'll burst,
feel like I've been cursed.
With seven centuries of bitter memories
And inadequacies, previous he's and she's
I'm movin' round this old house for the last time
Scene of my past crimes, been here for lifetimes
Hearin' the chimes of the old clock that used to mock
You got eternity for takin' stock,
this place is like a padlock
You look shocked.
Trust me, nothing ever moves but the dust,
There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease
And that's how it was for centuries
Me and my memories, till you brought the keys
Took the couple of Saturdays
I moved in runnin' from tragedies and boozing
Seven hundred years since I came here
You appear, same hair, same quizzical stare
I couldn't get near,
And the sheer frustration was more than I could bear
I was really cursed, thought I'd been through the worst part
That was just the first part, just the start
Every night I'd be sitting with dread, breaking my heart
In case the man she'd been chasin' gets to first base
And I just can't escape, I'm in bad shape
You making love to someone else is more than I can take
And so I make all the movement I can to no avail
Scream and yell, sinkin' deeper into my personal hell

I'm getting heated, I'm sorry, have another coffee
I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece of this pressure
Unless an escape route is found,
I'm going down underground
Into lifetimes of pain, it's absurd
The heaviest chain is contained is the sound of one word
So I'm referred back to hell, huh
Just as well, I hate needles an' get twinges at the thought
of syringes

J (as in Jerome), I'm going insane with shame
I dream and watch her makin' love over and over again
With what I call a farmer's swain
Unintelligent, pea-brained retard who's dick is always hard
Oh God, of course I'm jealous, fellows,
oversexed flexing his pec's
Jesus, what's he going make her do next?
I'm mad vex, the way she gently scratches his chest
You used to do that to me back in 1253
Pity me, while you lie with your lover
I stare and suffer in despair while you ruffle his hair
Unaware of who else is there
I move quick, I want to try my trick one last time
You know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
When dust move in the sunshine
So I'm tryin' to change, vibrate myself to near-human pitch
Which reminds me how I used to come unstitched
And switch 'round the house in a blind rage
It took years and an ocean of tears to find the key to this
cage
And write another stage into a new age,
it's difficult to gauge
But I know that I'll see you again, on that you may depend
I just don't know how or when
Sleep on, my lost love on gone

Jerome took me home under steel skies
Knowing I'm prone to dramatize but unknown for telling lies
And what I verbalize he can see behind my eyes
The why oh why's that identify killer lullabies
And he surmised
No surprise couldn't hear that
Closed my eyes as he steered that old black BM home again
Not knowing how and not knowing when.

I'm sittin' at a coffee table, unable to see straight
Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate
Behind the rain-streaked windowpane, the scene's bleak
Another train leavin' home,
conceding defeat with a low moan
Hangin' in A sky, made of stone
Everybody's leavin' home, I called my man Jerome
To come meet me in the twilight zone
Leave your mobile phone at home and come alone
I bought him coffee and a snack,
settled back, started speakin'
He was tweakin' with the peak of his cap
While I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober
Not cover my mistakes,
try to maybe make sense of the evidence
It's over, she's gone for good
Why should I lie, singin' a killer's lullaby
Identified by the dying ring of her goodbye

Dido:
Oh, darling, i miss you.
An boy has it hard
The thought of you leavin'
Is breakin' my heart

Maxi jazz:
New york, new york, temperature's droppin'
The band's out shoppin', not stoppin' 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops
I'm waitin' to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today i feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were plannin' just fell through
Florida's out
We fly september 22 to heathrow, but there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Lettin' you know i miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody

Dido:

Maxi jazz:
Honey, i'm writin' from d.c., feelin' queasy
Stayin' healthy on the road isn't easy
The tm. recommends an antigen
One of them could resist taking a piss
I miss you like a lock in the door
What's more, i go to sleep with my walkman 'cause half the crew snored
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great,
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So i stay up late with a tape, or meditate
My bed is travellin' at fifty-five m.p.h.
When we make it to la, i'll still be miles away
It's not my best day

His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go

Maxi Jazz:
We just stopped a diner so I'm takin' time to write a few lines
I'm fine, sunshine, the bus driver's
reclinin' by the grass as the trucks pass
Gleamin' with the flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen
As for us, there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs, yet we're only in our third state
America's big, you'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I can gain weight
Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware
Open air, there's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there
Anyway, all my love, God bless, I'm yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning

Dido:
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home

<i>[Maxi Jazz]</i>
Mmm, come to papa
I see you working,
through the beat curtain in the kitchen.
Switchin, leavin' me twitchin',
I'm itchin' to be kissin' you
But discipline is the rule,
so I sit my own juicy ?? in that cool sheet
Irresistible
We fool around twice a week, she make me weak
Nice when she put her tongue in my cheek
Not petite, baby got a large physique
She take charge, take me where I dare not repeat
I go ... like a hi-hat, plantin' kisses on your back
You like that, Mrs. X, reputation intact
Nobody in my block know we're like down like that
And the next flat, one down from where I live with my mum
And Uncle John, he ain't my uncle when it's been far too long
But me and she been going strong, almost a year
Wait 'til the coast is clear, I don't bolt for fear of getting caught
Maybe we ought to start, maybe not
For now, my baby gets all I got
Boom, how come we always trash the room?
Grab your coat 'cause you know someone'll be home soon
And now you see there be a need to explain gently
Why this mother of three is playin' games with me
She's my baby
(yeah)
She's my baby

<i>[Chorus]</i>
she's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby
she's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby

<i>[Maxi Jazz]</i>
I'm a slave to your outrage
Rocket rocks give shocks, and a row cage
Color-coded alloys, much noise, <i>[??]</i> poise
Exalt enough to know the roots of old age
Yes yes. Who got the keys to my RS
As we goin' on a road test, hit the M4 and head west
Forever impressed, with the sound of my two-liter
We cover ground, engine singin' like Anita Baker
And if I take a corner too quick you get sick, when I do my handbrake
trick
Watch me ride, me broadside's wide like a battleship
Side slip, push, only hip, stick it in gear and get the gas uplift
It never failed to bring a grin to the limb
Baby's equipped
me and she gone clear
I got quick reduction on my understeer
I been fairly and squarely described as hairy
People say my baby is scary
Look, you pays your money and you takes your choice
I just love to hear my baby's voice
She's my baby

<i>[Chorus]</i>
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby

<i>[Maxi Jazz]</i>
I roll up her position, everything's in position
my friend's demonstrating ??
I listen for a minute before taking sides
Sleep the eyes, on the limit, sit down and spin it like we do
Every Friday, 'round my way where I play before we..
No alcohol is a rule
My baby gets passed around I don't frown
I love to see my friends getting down
When it's just me and she you know it's never precarious
But sharing with your buddies is hilarious
Variously we argue and
Disagree and get heated
Have to tell my people that we see it and we start the anti-stress process
'Til there's a big mess of twigs and seeds to meet your needs
?? hello: clarity, mellow
She's my baby

<i>[Chorus]</i>
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby

Color-coded alloys, much noise, <i>[??]</i> poise
Exalt enough to know the roots of old age
Yes yes. Who got the keys to my RS
As we goin' on a road test, hit the M4 and head west
Forever impressed, with the sound of my two-liter
We cover ground, engine singin' like Anita Baker
And if I take a corner too quick you get sick, when I do my handbrake
trick
Watch me ride, me broadside's wide like a battleship
Side slip, push, only hip, stick it in gear and get the gas uplift
It never failed to bring a grin to the limb
Baby's equipped
me and she gone clear
I got quick reduction on my understeer
I been fairly and squarely described as hairy
People say my baby is scary
Look, you pays your money and you takes your choice
I just love to hear my baby's voice
She's my baby

<i>[Chorus]</i>
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby

<i>[Maxi Jazz]</i>
I roll up her position, everything's in position
my friend's demonstrating ??
I listen for a minute before taking sides
Sleep the eyes, on the limit, sit down and spin it like we do
Every Friday, 'round my way where I play before we..
No alcohol is a rule
My baby gets passed around I don't frown
I love to see my friends getting down
When it's just me and she you know it's never precarious
But sharing with your buddies is hilarious
Variously we argue and
Disagree and get heated
Have to tell my people that we see it and we start the anti-stress process
'Til there's a big mess of twigs and seeds to meet your needs
?? hello: clarity, mellow
She's my baby

<i>[Chorus]</i>
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby
She's my baby <i>[2x]</i>, sweets my baby

I lift you off the earth mundane and glum
Out of solar system where you passed the sun
'Til all the fear in your hart is gone and so on

Walking trough the world with no pressure
Inner peace beyond measure
I was leaving where it came in
When a man said stop
I want to have what you have
And get what you got

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain
I got it learning to share my peoples pain
I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone
I got it 'cause I always take thee long way home

I've been walking trough the world with no pressure
As fresher full of vigour life becomes my mirror
The further I go the more I know
Oh yeah, wherever the wind blow I'll be there

Turned up in places that I never intended to go
And so ended my youth I once deepended on proof
Now I'm in the flow, there I things I know beyond knowing
I've seen a seed growing, I was going back home
When a man said stop, I want to have what you have
And get what you got

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain
I got it learning to share my peoples pain
I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone
I got it 'cause I always take thee long way home

I lift you off the earth mundane and glum
Out of solar system where you passed the sun
'Til all the fear in your hart is gone and so on

Walking trough the world with no pressure
Inner peace beyond measure
I was leaving where it came in
When a man said stop
I want to have what you have
And get what you got

I got it sleeping rough on the streets in the rain
I got it learning to share my peoples pain
I got it making flowers grow in hearts of stone
I got it 'cause I always take thee long way home

I've been walking trough the world with no pressure

The further I go the more I know
Oh yeah, wherever the wind blow I'll be there
