1. _ Angeline
You've been out on the tiles, Winning the smiles of men of low persuasion, But I know you drink yourself crawling in the street until dawn, Girl you look like a bad dream, You've been places I've never been. Come home, come home Angeline. Come home, come home Angeline. You've been places I've never been. You took the small change from the job in the hall, Be back in an hour but you're not back at all. The children are crying, the flowers are dying, There's no food on the table, I don't think I'm able to cope, You've been places I've never been. Come home, come home Angeline. Come home, come home Angeline. You've been places I've never been. Cheap perfume and alcohol, dancing on tables, With kissing for strangers all laughing and howling, And jokes and tall tales that ain't funny at all, Bluffers and smugglers, boozers and gamblers, Jump old queens and tarts at the babbled bar. Oh, they've been pushing you too far. Come home, come home Angeline. Come home, come home Angeline. You've been places I've never been. Come home, come home Angeline. Come home, come home Angeline. You've been places I've never been. more free lyrics |
2. _ Dirty Ol' Man
He's a dirty old man, And a dirty old man, He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine. I'm a dirty old man The mean streets are home, My life is cold, I'll chill you to the bone, Heart of stone, Have a care, I carry traces of death in my hair, You know my breath stinks, I leave shit everywhere, So be aware I'm unfeeling Don't you dare try appealing to my better nature, You better wait, you're missinformed, Ain't nothing warm about me, Cold and gray, concrete clay and steel, And what else is real? I mean the actual deal, People seem to love living under my hair, Some of them call me London, I'm also known as New York. Anywhere in the world you find me I talk the same bad talk, Walk the same walk from side to side, You're transparent to me, There ain't a thing you can hide, Derive glamour from the stamina it takes to survive. You think I didn't know it's over with your face like a rat Now give me your cash and go Before you're heart brakes, You're living under my wing And all you got I'm gonna take, I'm a dirty old man. He's a dirty old man and a dirty old man, He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine. He's a dirty old man and a dirty old man, He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine. I'm a rough old man beyond heart ache, To improve my mood I could use an earthquake, I sit awake for my people to release the pain, So I can know peace again In my skin, sin diceit and mistrust soaked in, I think I might just fuss Often drops of woe, streets flow with tears, I fall down all around your ears. If I could, if I was made of wood start a fire, no lie, I can afford to smoke sacred fire, Cos I wouldn't bet on people changing just yet My eyes are wet and my heart is full of fear and regret, So you're catching the rough edge of my tongue, I started young, I got teenagers carrying guns. I hear you wanna hold me to blame, but we're the same, So for me win society and feel the shame, I'm a rough old man. He's a dirty old man and a dirty old man, He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine. He's a dirty old man and a dirty old man, He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine. I'm a rough old man, this is who I am. He's a dirty old man and a dirty old man, He's a dirty old man and a friend of mine. more free lyrics |
3. _ Insomnia
I only smoke weed when I need to And I need to get some rest I confess, I burnt a hole in the mattress Yes, yes, it was me, I plead guilty And on the count of three I pull back the duvet Make my way to the refrigerator One dry potato inside, no lie Not even bread, jam When the light above my head went bam! I can't sleep, something's all over me Greasy, insomnia please release me And let me dream about making mad love on the heath Tearing off tights with my teeth But there's no relief I'm wide awake in my kitchen It's dark and I'm lonely Oh, if I could only get some sleep Creeky noises make my skin creep I need to get some sleep I can't get no sleep.... more free lyrics |
4. _ Reverence
Watch me ride... Take the words and the bass, Taste, and then swallow me, You're chasing the devil, Cos you're level if you follow me For quality, and I make no apology For linking my thinking with computer technology. Cos this is like a modern day hymn, For the new church, I search for the truth, I've got a hole in my tooth I'm Uncouth, yes sir, I'm from the street university Where we learn to earn even in times of adversity. And always find the ease way out of a hard time petty crime sometimes, But now I'm inclined to find A fresh direction, Check out the funky section. Cos this is the part where I start to rip up words, A comfort coming straight from my heart, I'm not a mystic, My views are realistic, simplistic, One special brew I get pissed quick, And get sick so I don't do it no more, I won't find peace of mind, Rolling around on the floor. The point I want to make is you can never escape from your fate, The mistake is to take without giving, From within, You know how I'm living, I'm cool. I'm looking after myself, And I could never place wealth before my spirit, I feel it's unhealthy, The devil creep around you so stealthy, stealthy Till ya get bold, rush the gold, And before ya time is over, Ya soul is sold, where's it gettin ya? Competition starts swearing ya, Golddiggers setting you up, Soon be forgetting your existence? Do ya need a for instance, I hafta admire your persistence In sticking to a game plan, That brings ya pain man, And at the end of the day nothing is gained, So listen to the voice within, I'll see ya later, Pay heed to the Grand Oral Disseminator. I keep lying and trying, Denying the call from inside Ya can't hide responsibility So decide from today just who it's going to be, Thou shalt have no other od but me, So set ya free see, But you'll have to listen, And who's that false idol I see you kissing? Money, success and untold wealth, good health And all ya have to do is love yourself. It's a fact you'll attract all the things that ya lack, So just chill And get off the race track And take a pace back, face facts, It's your decision, You don't need eyes to see, You need vision, Continue to view the lord as being separated And you're living a lie that's been perpetrated, For many centuries, I wanna mention, These facts in my rap, I don't sing, But I wanna share the peace that it brings, My name is G.O.D. The Grand Oral Disseminator... more free lyrics |
5. _ Baseball Cap
Oh, smack, there goes my baseball cap I'm on the floor, I think I took a bruse to my jaw, Jumped me from behind at least three, maybe four, I never see my hat no more. Oh, smash. There goes my baseball cap, It's gone, gone, gone, gone, I can't get it back. Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap, It's gone, gone, gone, gone, I can't get it back. 14 years old and hard to the core, I'm walking home making plans for war, My hands was cut, my uncle says 'what's up?' Let me guess, your clothes are in a mess, you're in distress, Sit down, take five and let me look at your knees, Your still alive son, please take it easy Sometimes you have to let the world know you're not bluffing, But enough is enough, don't loose your life over nothing, Scuffling in the street is no way to die, And I don't want to have to meet your mama's eye, So try and listen hard before you fall into the trap Of making war over a baseball cap. Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap, It's gone, gone, gone, gone, I can't get it back. Oh, smash, there goes my baseball cap, It's gone, gone, gone, gone, I can't get it back. more free lyrics |
6. _ Why Go ?
Don't go I didn't know you'd be here and I wasn't meant to come I'd be sitting watching TV If there was anything decent on If I'd missed the taxi Or found nothing good to weare But for some uncertain reason Some strange uncertain reason This is how it all It all began Why go? Why go? When you could stay a while If I made some coffe Would you sit and talk some more? I know words are uaually pointless When you've used them all before The way you smile fills the room Stay a while kick off your shoes Don't go Please stay It always happens this way Chorus The way you smile fills the room Stay a while Whats's there to lose? Thea way you laugh When I say Don't go Please stay Chorus more free lyrics |
7. _ Don't Leave
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, well I was thinking it through Trying to find who am I And what'd you need me to do? There's a record you used to play There's Joni singing: "Best to be without you" And I know just what she'll say : "Help me, I'm falling" 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 But don't leave Where did all the love go? Where's the love gone to? We'll fly around the world I'll give you what you're giving me I, I should dress you up in pearl And 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 more free lyrics |
8. _ Salva Mea
Dido : How can I change the world if I can't even change myself ? I cannot change the way I am ? I don't know, I don't know. Maxi Jazz : I take a look at the world behind these eyes, Every nook, every cranny reorganise, Realise my face don't fit the way I feel. What's real ? I need a mirror to check my face is in place, Incase of upheval, fundamental movement below, What's really going on I wanna know, But yo, we don't show on the outside, so slide. Just below my skin I'm screaming... I need a mirror for my spirit, Yeah, acn you feel it ? When I get deep, wanna hear myself sleep, Not drowning, just tumbling around and around in the voices Like a crowd in my head so loud, I wonder what it's like to be dead, I hope it's quiet, noise in my head like a riot, Any remedy you have for me I'll try it. Just below my skin I'm screaming... I'm going deep, so deep that I can't sleep, The pills ain't cheep but the bills are steep, So I ___ with a booze and a slpiff, Try to snooze, But who's dreaming ___ this is win or loose, Put down the drink, try not to think, Let it go, fundamental movement below, And yo, reality is dreaming, Just below my skin I'm screaming... more free lyrics |

10. _ If Loving You Is Wrong
Watch me ride: I'm a sexual animal, eat you like a cannibal, Crammed full of energy, I'm inflammable, Yeah, I finish my beer So come here and get nice while I lick you here, Put your legs over there and kinda swing on the chair, I swear you look wicked with your panties in your hair, Eyes half closed, Cute little nose, And like a pound of self-raising I just rose and rose, Stepped out of my clothes started doing the right thing, I was pumping and she was biting, Yeah, lightning flashed and thunder roared, The girl had her finger on my keyboard, Oh lord, this is gonna last all night, If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If I come first well that's the worse scenario, I push you harder than Sanchez Vicario, I mean it, 20th Century Fox on the screening, One take like an earthquake make the bed brake, We be famous worldwide overnight And get tired of magazine articles we're forced to write. I take a delight in making the bed springs sing all night, If lovin' you is wrong I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. I give a massage, Skin supercharge, I'magination on turbo situation large, Sometimes you handle me kinda course, Like a horse, the bed______ ____ keep from flying. I got my teeth in her neck... If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. If lovin' you is wrong, I don't wanna be right. more free lyrics |

16. _ Killer's Lullaby
I'm sittin' at a coffe table unable to see straight Watchin' parallel lines unwind and undulate Behind the rain-soaked window pane the scene's bleak Another train leaving home, concending defeat with a low moan Hangin' in a sy made of stone, everybody's leavin' home Called my man Jerome to come and meet me in the twilight zone Leave ya mobile phone at home and come alone I bouht him coffe an' a snack, settled back, started speakin He was tweakin' at the peak of his hat while I'm seekin' to discover what it takes to stay sober Not to cover my mistakes, try to maybe make sense f the eveidence, It's over She'd gone for good why should I lie Singin' a killer's lullaby Indentified by the dying ring of a goodbye The last thing ya hear before ya life disappear "Is it better when you see her?" Nah, it just gets worse like my stomach'll burst Feels like I been cursed with seven centuries Of bitter memories, Inadequacies of previous he's and she's I'm movin' round this old house for the last time Scene of my past crimes, been her for lifetimes Hearin' the chimes of that old clock that useta mock You got eternity for takin' stock, this place is like a padlock You look shocked, trust me. Nuthin' ever moves but the dust There's just us and I'm here to torment and tease An' that's how it was for centureis, me and my memories til you bought the keys, took a coupla Saturdays An; moved in runnin' from tragedies an' boozin' Seven hundred years since I came her 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 first part, just the start Everynight I'd be sittin' with dread pickin' my heart In case the man she been chasin' gets to first base An' I just can't escape. I'm in bad shape You makin' love to someone else is more than i can take So I make all the movement I can, to no avail Scream an' yell sinkin' deeper in my own personal hell I'm gettin' heated I'm sorry, have another coffee I needed to release my sparrow chest from just a piece Of this pressure, unless an' excape route is found I'm goin' down, underground into lifetaimes of pain It's absurd, the heaviest chain is contained in the sound of one word So I'm referred back to hell. Just as well i hate needles an' get twinges at the thought of syringes I move quick I wanna try my trick one last time you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline, when dust move and the sun shine So I try 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, advance another stage into a new age. It's difficult to gauge, but I know i'll see you again, on that you can depend, I just dont know how or when. Sleep on my last love, i'm gone. more free lyrics |

19. _ Bring My Family Back
I'm on Lonely Street age nearly three Recently Mama's cryin 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, cryin' like he missed her Since we moved away from the house where we useta play They say I'll understand one day, but I doubt it, Mama never say nothin' 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 feelin', meybe I'm to blame So I strain to listen, prayin' for a decision, whishing' they were kissin' This feels like extradition or exile, Mama finds it hard to smile So I make pretend cups of coffe in her favourite style She says child I'm working so there's nothing you lack Bus she know I want my Dad, I want my family back I'm on Lonely Street, age forty-three Couldn't gauge when tot quit so my wife quit me Took offence, took the kids, I wish that was the end But before she took her leave she took care of my best friend Workin' all the hours God send was not the tactic Y'see cuz after ten years I'm left with jackshit Wanted to make the cash Quik so I useta 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 eatin' We'd do our cheatin over coffees, makin' tea for the bosses Makin 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 blinkin' like the screen on my computer display and I'm drinkin' Concerned about what's down the track if I don't get my family back I'm on Lonely Street, number fifty-three Boarded up probperly, 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 creppin' Derelicts sneakin' to fix, speakin' On the way my timbers creaking', roof leakin' And bricks comin' 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 were decorated And under my roof children were 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 equitiy so that's it. Like violence it's drastic I'm freaking', and seekin' to be more than just a house of crack somebody bring my family back more free lyrics |
