"Flowerstand Man"

"Flowerstand Man"


'Bout a month ago, I've never seen your face -
I've never heard your voice. 'Bout a month ago.
I'm a careful hunter and I have to say -
Before I found your love. 'Bout a month ago.

Are you my boy or the flowerstand man -
You bought such color to this place.
Are you my boy or the flowerstand man -
With you I'm laid back.

I don't care if every river runs so dry.
I don't care if every species were to die.
I don't care about the Ozone layer -
I wouldn't notice if it wasn't there, oh no.

I don't care if we sell - coke to Africa.
I don't care about apartheid.
I wouldn't notice if it all get better.
I don't care about the starving who've died.

You're my boy when, the way you live and breathe -
I don't care about anything but you.
You're my boy when, the way you live and breathe -
I don't care about anything but you.
Take me home [4x]

"Flyin' Hi"

"Flyin' Hi"


Crisis, in the supermarket-prices
Prospects, not the nicest, my wife is
About as cold as ice is
When stressed, she's not the wisest, who is?
We all got baggage, hers is financial
Peace to my uncle and so thanks to
A loan from him
We still have a home to live in
I'm learning to ride the riddim, when she come in
Face full of arguing
Another nice night in ruin
Remembering back when we were just into each other
Now we just injure each other, without thinking
And when the silence fall, and the world gets really small
She crawl into bed, I'm in my three fifty zed
High speed meditation just to ease my head
Light beep on as I slide in
Put the music on to keep me from crying
A tear may escape as I scrape first gear
But have no fear I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
Hmmm...
I'll never stop trying
I love the surge, the pull, away from the curb
The way the sound-reverberate
As I push my foot down, accelerate straight out of town
And with the help of James Brown on the tape
I reach escape velocity on the M3
Transcend my physical bounderies
Blend with the mystic reality
And finally, I'm free
Travelling instantaneously through space
'till I will reach that place within me
That has no trace of a beginning, has no end
Where I both recieve and send
My soul fills the universe end to end
And I feel myself heal and mend
My mind is still and I'm floating
Look down, throttle's still wide open
Inner serenity comfort me, past junction twenty three
On my way back, full chat and I'm flying
I won't crack and I'll never stop trying
I'm flying, I'll never stop trying
I'm flying
[woman singing]
It's like all of a sudden
And everything is different
You can still see everything around you
But it's all completely lost its significance
It's not important anymore
This inner-acceptance that you are we
And everything that is
Is you
Emotions unstick and fall away
Til all that remains is joy
My earthly body's doing one sixty
And float free in the realm of eternity
The essential inner drama
Where my rhythm resonates so all phenomenom full uppa
Original stamina
Look uppa
I know the speed camera
Physical laws unravel
I travel through the fabric hole
The unseen going mad quick
Some call it magic
They flash and I never get a ticket, boom
I'm leaving with the mystic laws
So benefit is automatic
And I'm back with my girl
Back in the real world
Two AM, we both tired of arguin
She wanna know we're I been
Back before big bang and then back again
And she scold me, stop lying
And I told her, and I hold her
I'll never stop trying, baby
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying, for you
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying, for you
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying
I'll never stop trying

"Giving Myself Away"

"Giving Myself Away"


In background - "Do what I have to"
Remember Emily?
[In background - "That's a long time" 2x]
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...

"God Is A DJ (Yes He Is)"

"God Is A DJ (Yes He Is)"


This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts
This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts

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 [2x]
This is where I heal my hurts
For tonight
God is a DJ

This is my church
This is where I heal my hurts

"Hem Of His Garment"

"Hem Of His Garment"


[Maxi Jazz in background]
...wish he was a man

[Dido]
Oh I wish I could be
Touched by the hem of his garment

[Maxi]
And the dream...

[Dido]
To be proud there's never been
so mean, so hard, so stern, so cruel
Oh I wish I could be
touched by the hem of his garment
Mmmmm, Oh I've come a long way [5x]
To touch the hem of his garment

And anger should be
The tool of a clown or a fool you'll see
And why should such spite and 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 at this table
One bed in this house
Seriously, I think we could be, feel we could be
Touched by the hem of his garment

Mmmmm, I've come a long way [5x]
To touch the hem of his garment

"Hope & Glory"

"Hope & Glory"


When I arrive eyes wide fired up
Tried not to slide and let the side down
Now the plane's on the ground
I'll find a good profession
It's 1957
I've come to the motherland to make a home to put my bed in
This weather does my head in
Some people are less than kind I wish
Mama was here so I could unwind
But I'm supposed to be the good news
So I lace up these hard black shoes
And look - more work
These streets were never paved with gold
They simply make my feet hurt
They just make my feet hurt

Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love
To have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call
And in this land of hope and glory
You'd think there's enough for us all
You'd think there's enough for us all

When I arrive eyes wide petrified
Tried not to cry and let the side down
Now the plane's on the ground
It's 20 years later
Mama's in the arrival lounge
I take a few seconds to kiss her
Then look around at what's happened to my home town
What's going on
But papa doesn't look too strong
Rush home in a cab, windows up
Now I hear dad cough:
"We gotta get in before they switch the lights and water off
for the night"
I have to get to know the guard dogs
Cause they bite
Progress just passed us by, to the right

Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love
to have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call
and in this land of hope and glory
you'd think there's enough for us all
you'd think there's enough for us all

Just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those I love
to have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those who call
and in this land of hope and glory
you'd think there's enough for us all
you'd think there's enough for us all

[John Reid:]
The public needs to know that there may be other people out there who may be planning to attack against the United Kingdom.
That is why there're a number of other security operations underway.
There is still a very serious threat of an attack.
The threat level is at severe, indicating the high likelyhood of an attempted terrorist attack at some stage.

"Hour Of Need"

"Hour Of Need"


You know that I'm foolish, playing king for a day
I hang with my people whenever I can.
You say that I'm scruffy, misguided and blue,
like a fly on a string.
There's a web that surrounds you, but I will
find a way in.
Yeah, in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will.
Yeah, in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will.

You lay a place at your table, let me sleep in your bed
Yeah you hurt and confused me, but your my queen for a day

I know I'm foolish, harsh and unfair
'Cause in my hour of need, I know you've always been
there

And in your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will
In your hour of need I'll be there, yes I will
I'll be there, yes I will
In you hour of need I'll be there, yes I will [3x]

"I Hope"

"I Hope"


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

"I Want More Part 1"

"I Want More Part 1"


[LSK]
Hey friend your misery bewilders me
How come you're never satisfied or gratified
Four walls n' a roof, electricity,
Stable mind, wife and child,
Hot and cold water to run anytime.
But still you, whine.

I want more

A bum could rummage through ya bin
And live like a king
On just one crumb o'ya cake
N'ya say ya life needs fulfilling
Some would give anything to live like you
Shame your mind, don't shine
Like your possessions do.
Whining, complaining all the time,
Don't see no rain on you
What side your bread is buttered on
If only you knew

What d'ya mean
I want more

Yep

I was told as a child,
I want more never gets
Learned to count my blessings
Long before I saw an abacus
So what ya family don't speak
At least they're alive
Show me a man without guilt
Or a soul that ain't lied
You don't know what ya got
Open your eyes, look around
Really, hear me you,
Ain't got no reason to be down

What d'ya mean
I want more

Friend what is it that you seek
What is it that you try to find
Someday I hope you realized
It shined in you all the time.
Hills to climb, sights to see, seas to cross,
Friends to make, hands to shake, the world is yours,
Foods to taste, sounds to hear, love to feel,
Seeds to sew, things to know, fish to reel,
Space to quiz, stones to lift, life's a gift

What d'ya mean
I want more

Yep

What d'ya mean
I want more

Yep
