It's you I love and not another
And I know our love will last forever You I love and not another And I know we'll always be together Some men have one love, two and three love Four and five and six love But I believe in one love I believe in one love Some men don't feel secure Unless they have a woman on each arm They have to play the field, prove they have charm They say don't lay your eggs in one basket If the basket should fall all your eggs'll be broken But I believe in one love I believe in one love Oh girl I believe in one love I believe in one love Oh girl it's not the everyday you find the woman of your dreams Who will always be there no matter how bad things seems Ever so faithful ever so sure No man could ever ask for more I believe in 1 love I believe in one love, oh girl I believe in one love I believe, girl, oh yeah In one love, in one love In one love, in one love I do, I do, I do In one love I do In one love I believe in one love, in one love. |

Can't be with the one you love then love the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray, red stripe I pull the lid Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle But I don't hear her words 'cause I slide the instrumental Keep the girl in the distance, moves are very hazy No sunshine in my life the way I deal is shadySkip hip data to get the anti-matter Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass Her face is on the paper not the strangers that I pass The ones that looking back to see if they are looking back at me Are you predator or do you fear me Yeah while I'm doing this I know The place I really wanna go The one I love but never gets near meIt's a beautiful day, well it seems as such Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much Even if I told you, you still would not know me Tricky never does, adrian mostly gets lonely How we live in this existence, just being English upbringing, background carribeanIt's the way that we ?bility? Sharing a soliloquy We cut the broken thread from flexibility Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese No sunshine in my life 'cause the way I deal is hazy And everyday's a daisy 'cause I'm on my toes While contemporaries of mine remaining comatoseThere's a looking glass she's looking through She hated me, but then she loved me too I'd lie not try so I lost faith Then turn to her to keep the faith She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind And on a nine to five lemon, looking for the lime [3D] Box clever, watch your system come together Crazy weather at the end of my tether [Daddy G] Massive in the area, murderer Attack inna the area, murderer [3D] Some go softly softly round the habitat Ratchet in the right hand They got no one to stab it at Take a walk billy, don't be a hero Effort's on minimal though almost touch zero Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram Car paint blue, green, primer and zinc Take it to extremities my purple and pink I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain I can't stand the drops they're dripping down my windowpane They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a spark upon my soul They leave the rainbows in the darkBlues get big, massive are even larger Save nuff space into the tricky tardis We'd trawl what I saw from down in darren's hall People laying their claim In stormy weather it's rainBut you're living on a see-saw I try to see more Somebody da-ditty, nobody Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water The son of many reasons searching for the daughter Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jetset Silver papers of the sound within my budakon headset The solar system watches in wisdom The children dance as the moonlight kissed themTo Massive attack Matt Black appear wearing beads Two hours traveling so I wrote this on Always living fast, people getting jumpy Where on ?gruggy? falls I do the walter crumpy Microphones held close, crouching far apart Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart |

Daydreaming I quietly observe standing in my space DaydreamingWay that we say 'em in style that we write 'em in Massive attack we keep it strong just like a vitamin Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs 'Cause brother it's relative The pass is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor That raise your spirit level 'cause it demands forAttitude is cool degrees below zero Up against the wall behaving like De Niro Tricky's performing taking his phono Making a stand with a tan touch it like cocoa Smooth to keep you moving at the back now Free is the needle it's moving through the track nowDance to the drummer's beats we need new sticks Bounce around the vibes like acoustics No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable Stick with liquid me and trick we've drop A paper which you use my tongue to lick with Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn But I just take it easy it's a sunday morn'So you come on light my fire and Together we'll grow forever watch my eight kay rig goBecause my eight kay rig goes boom boom My eight kay rig goes boomYeah rhymin' the jam and uh we got the stamina In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and uh And it's hard to handle keep your distance Resist and the posse gets the pleasure of this dance The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street [Tricky] If i was a rich man [Daddy G] Da da dada [Tricky] I quietly observe standing in my space It's the devious days they call the rat race It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble But what happen when the bomb drops Down [3D] Don't make sound 'Cause the dancefloor's a desert And the dancers are parched Do a rain dance and your brain's still marsh My heavy my brother get lighter than helium Float above the world to break the tedium Living in my headphones sony's what I say to 'em The surreal boom of the budokan stadium [Shara Nelson] Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming I quietly observe standing in my space [Tricky] Well i'm tricky kid don't deal with sadness Can't be with the one i love i love the one that i miss I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor Don't need another lover just need, i'm insecureThe weather is a-changin' the storms be shakin The love that you take is equal to the love you're makin Here comes the sun little darlin here comes the sun It's alrightYes tricky kid i check my situation Maggie this Maggie that Maggie means inflation Hip-hop you don't stop cause i'm not sloppy I like the beat so we need another copyWe're natives of the massive territory and we're proud Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks I love my neighbor I don't wait for the olympics See you go hooligan you're trying to play the fool again Caught you in the lost and foundWhen your posse weren't aroundNo crowdSo you're going for you tool againDaydreaming I quietly observe standing in my space Daydreaming Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming |

Summertime always gives me the blues Thinking about the things we used to do Watching lovers in the park making love so free And now i realize there's only me Lately baby where, where did we go wrongYou been acting like a cat on a hot tin roof Something's on your mind that you can't share You never used to hide your feelings from me Keepin secrets i don't understand Lately baby where, where did we go wrongI used to synchronize it with your body Making it so tight never letting goLately baby where, where did we go wrong Lately, lately, lately, lately Lately baby, where did we go wrong Where did we go wrong Missed your touch, missed your touch |

The big wheel keeps on turning
On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes There's a hole in my soul like a cavity Seems like the world is out to gather just by gravity The wheel keeps turning the sky's rearranging Look my son the weather is changing I'd like to feel that you could be free Look up at the blue skies beneath a new tree Sometime again You'll turn green and the sea turns red My son I said the power of axis over my head The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes We sang about the sun and danced among the trees And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone Down within the shadows where the factories drone On the surface of the wheel they build another town And so the green come tumbling down Yes close your eyes and hold me tight And i'll show you sunset sometime again The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes As a child's silent prayer my hope hides in disguise While satellites and cameras watch from the skies An acid drop of rain recycled from the sea It washed away my shadow burnt a hole in me And all the king's men cannot put it back again But the ghetto sun will nurture life And mend my soul sometime again The big wheel keeps on turning On a simple line day by day The earth spins on its axis One man struggle while another relaxes [ ] |
