Coldcut - Sound Mirrors (2006) by Coldcut (보컬) on maniadb.com

This contract in my hand,
Before the day is out,
Slide over slide over
Slide over

I just dialed this number,
Would you help me help me please,
I just dialed this number with a phonebook on my knees

Three meetings in a row,
I's dotted and t's will cross,
Slide over slide over
Slide over

I just dialed this number,
Would you help me help me please,
I just dialed this number with a phonebook on my knees,
That's right,

Well please hold on, i'm a man in a garage i'm on my way to work

Well just hold on, i'm a man in a garage and i'm on my way to work,
My way to work

I just dialed this number,
Would you help me help me please,
I just dialed this number with a phonebook on my knees,
That's right,

Well please hold on, i'm a man in a garage i'm on my way to work

Well just hold on, i'm a man in a garage and i'm on my way to work, my way to
Work

(Chorus)
Whomsoever dont know best get to know were to cool
Giving them cuts so cold it's true skool
Far from the regular nothin used to
Them kind of style is shock and spruce too
Mind and soul in tune and loose too
(Cooler than, cooler than cool!)

Till a badman, get out! move from here!
Tonight we celebrate like we dont care, you just
Pump your fist and stamp your footsie
If you cant dance just wiggle your tootsie
All nations site from the rebel arrangement
Rebel engagement - peace in the lover!
Calypso dance hall punk step and dub!
New wave old wave genre define

Spitting on the a list we know the line
Its the application of the citation, its the
Iration of the of a gyration, its the
Inclination of them that's inclined to
Keep the thing mine
For tis the bigger picture
Biblical decendants scribes a new scripture
Articulation of the incantation is the
Foundation of the emancipation

(Chorus)

Mind weight ready warped
Roads of many sign distraction
Many find time for tubby bye bye
Me oh my my oh me
Tis it so simplistic
Child's play man's play
Could it be sadistic?
Head space locked in them plastic gods
There's too much! there's too many reasons!
To keep deceiving
To keep on believing in the
Oh blah ra ra the sloganeers
The crocodile pain, the crocodile tears
She dont really need that brand new nose
And he dont really need slave shoes or slave clothes
But were far too busy to keep our mind privy
Too the blessed is the man and the
Grammar the host ease

Ready to receive the rich a cold breeze
All we really need is to plant the god seed
Something to live for
Something to believe

(Chorus)

If I could be you
And you could be me
For just one hour

If we could find a way
To get inside
Each other's minds

If you could see you
Through my eyes
Instead of your ego

I believe you'd be
Surprised to see
That you've been blind

Walk a mile in my shoes (x2)
And before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes

Now the whole world
You see around you
Is just a reflection

And the law of Karma
Says you reap
Just what you sew

So unless you've lived a life
Of total perfection
You'd better be careful of every stone
That you should throw

Walk a mile in my shoes (x2)
And before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.

Walk a mile in my shoes (x2)
And before you abuse, criticise and accuse
Walk a mile in my shoes.

Walk on, come on
In my shoes

Walk a mile in my shoes...(x4)

Saul Williams:

Please Mr. Nichols come back inside the window
I can't promise you anything, but I trust that there is far greater reason to live
I know you've become disheartened and disillusioned by the current state of affairs
Your stocks are falling, your investments have failed you
The man from whom you took orders has been ordered to jail by his and your subordinates
You question what is this world coming to
What is the profit margin when you're forced to pander to the marginalized
Where's the glory you dreamt of as a child..
Dressed as a cowboy, your play gun pointed at real targets
Your mother, holding her tongue as your father consoles her with the words..
“it's just boy stuff”

Well
You joined his fraternity, you grew into his old suits
You acquired his beliefs, you embodied his dreams and with them his oversights.
How long did you think it would last?
It's just a matter of time.
The world is far from over.

Look...
Your mother outlives your father,
Your sister outlives your brother.
And if you jump from this window today..
She'll also outlive you.
Look at her, sitting in her midwestern home, tuned into Oprah once again
Today, she learns to meditate on a second-hand couch.
Meanwhile, you stand outside this window
Twelve stories above the ground
One story remaining untold...

You contemplate the setting sun,
Unaware of your disorientation.
Dis-orient: turned away from the east.
The shifting current seems to conspire against you.
Mr. Nichols, you fail to see that you've always stood outside of this window, perched on the threshold of oblivion.
Countless man made stories above the truth
For so long you've stood facing the setting sun
Mistaking the complimentary unified duality of nature as being right or wrong
Good or evil
God or devil
Mr. Nichols instead of stepping from this ledge into the downfall of your up rise
Why not just turn around
Lessen the intensity of your western glare and face the rising sun
Note the energy swirling from its center
How it illumines us all and only the birds fly first class...

There is your inheritance!
The warmth of a kiss
Invest your tongue into the mouth of mystery
Allow her breath to seep into your lungs and surrender to her touch and guidance
There's no other way
Your dreams of dominance will only help you forsake yourself
While your family continues its search for understanding
And your daughters outlive your sons...

Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Colours the soul
Colours the soul

Time washes over
Colours the soul
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Colours the soul
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Colours the soul
Time washes over like a wave goodbye
Colours the soul
