[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


. . .



[Chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

Now when you climb [fade]
And when you lock [fade]
Just think of those
out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round.

[Maxi Jazz]
Until you wake up
You people need a shake up
You take up so much time
Worrying, Scurrying,
Here, there, 
Losing your hear
No 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 chest
With no formal shape
The tape is running
I push the button to send
Upon each other we all depend
Message end

Whoever asks my name
Or where I came from
People fear contamination
If they chary too long
I carry a strong
Sin of despair
It's in the air
I¡Їm broken and hard to repair
I may mistaken be
But I patiently wait
On the pad to humanity
I sit at the gates

[Chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

[Maxi Jazz]
Dirty, Cold, Hurting, Soul,
Down the river
My liver in bad condition
Like my skin
Rain falling, once again
I'm in my bed
Hurt the time in
I'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 it
Get 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 mean
A hurry past
Ridged people I pretend I haven't seen
But there's money in my pocket
And my clothes are clean?

[Maxi Jazz 4x]
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

[Chorus]
Now when you climb
Into your bed tonight
And when you lock
And hold the door
Just think of those
Out in the cold and dark
'Cause there is not enough love to go round

. . .



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

We come 1

I'm unafraid
never never scared
Worries washed
pressed air
I am the left eye
you're the right
Would it not be madness to fight


. . .



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.

. . .



If all you keep hearing it so long 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!
I want to know who you are!

. . .



[Dido]
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

[Maxi Jazz]
Only with mellow
Are you thin enough to slide through,
Don't let nothin' ride u,
If the sun or the moon would give way to doubt,
They would immediately go out.
Only one swallow doesn't make a summer
But u gotta start somewhere (maxi's bit)

[Dido]
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

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 jour 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

. . .



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.

. . .



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

. . .



[Maxi Jazz]
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

[Zo? Johnston]
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

[Maxi Jazz]
