02 Clean Cut Rapper

Now I'm not your stereotypical mother-humpin' lyrical gangsta
You can tell I'm not cool, in fact at school I was in the top of the class
Though I'm not very street there's this beat that repeats in my brain
And I'm on an insane train
If I don't relate to this rhythm
This is what I've been given
Though I loath it or love it I can't help but succumb to it.
I take my plastic and I put it in the recycling
I grow herbs in a pot but I use them making bolognaise
Though I listen to Stevie, you've gotta believe me
I ain't got soul but I got a whole lotta good sense
To dispense if you can take the pretence
That I am only what I appear to be
And that's a
Clean cut middle class white rapper
With a melody
And I'm comin' atcha fresher than a day in spring
That's right a nice guy middle class white rapper
With a remedy
'Cause I tried all kinds of living
But it's love that keeps me winning
'Cause love's the sweetest thing
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Now rap was born in the Bronx around the nineteen seventies
If you were feeling oppressed at the time you had a lot to say
Though it was full of aggression, I can't help but mention
It was just a bunch of kids having fun
That begun a new craze to create new waves in the ocean
That would stop discrimination for a future generation
Now I'm not oppressed and if I'm tetchy it's because I'm hungover
I only live in a slum when I haven't gone and made the bed
Though I'm far from the bottom it's still a long way to the top
And it seems the rich up there don't care
Because their drive to succeed
Is keeping them hungrier than those who are desperate and in need
So over to the clean cut middle class white rapper with a melody
And I'm comin' atcha' fresher than a day in spring
That's right an idealistic middle class white rapper with a remedy
Cause the world's so full of voices
And we have so many choices
But love's the sweetest thing
Ain't love the sweetest thing
'Cause love is kind
Love's considerate
Love makes all others your brothers innit
The wonderful thing of the power of love
Is it knows when you have got enough
So I'm a clean cut middle class white rapper with a melody
And it fills me with the joys of a day in spring
You could be a clean cut middle class white rapper with this remedy
'Cause hidden deep inside us
Is a serenity that binds us
It's called love
And its the sweetest thing
It's the sweetest thing
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba etc..
OUTRO (I'm hardcore, I know the score, I'll hiphop till my hips get sore. I know the score - it's about 4-3)

03 Two Faces
02:51
|
|||
There are two faces to everyone
One that you wear, and one that’s within
There are two faces to get to know
Before you can start, start to begin
There’s two personalities
Complex moralities
No one really does what they say
You learn that’s the way
You learn that’s the way
There are two people you try to love
One of them’s real and one’s just a dream
One person you hold so close
One is adrift away down the stream
They look in your eyes
And one whispers you lies
While the other wanders off to play
And that is the way
That’s always the way
Why is honesty
So hard to find
Do we not need it
Is that why it’s easier to hide
Why do we hide
There are two people inside of me
One’s doing fine, and one cannot cope
One girl has her head up high
One girl is crying tears of no hope
I don’t understand
Cause I got where I am
Just by looking at the world today
Is this not the way?
There must be a way
If there is a way
I’m so far away

HER I DON’T GET YOU
BUT I LIKE YOU
AND I THINK I’LL TAKE SOME TIME TO LOOK INSIDE YOU
YOU’RE NOT LIKE ME
BUT THERE’S SOMETHING CALMING IN YOUR COMPANY
HIM I DON’T KNOW YOU
BUT I KNOW YOU
AND THERE’S THINGS ABOUT MY LIFE I’D LIKE TO SHOW YOU
I’M LOST FOR WORDS
BUT IT’S NICE TO BE LOST AND NOT BE HEARD
BOTH AND AS THE WORLD SLOWS DOWN
IN THE SILENCE THINGS WORK OUT
HIM YOU’RE A STRANGER
HER YOU’RE A STRANGER
HIM YOU’RE A WEIRDO
HER YOU’RE A WEIRDO
BOTH BUT THERE’S NOTHING STRANGE OR WEIRD
TO FEAR THOUGH
IT’S JUST THE LIGHT
AND THE RAIN KEEPS FALLING
AT NIGHT
AND AS THE WORLD SLOWS DOWN
IN THE SILENCE THINGS WORK OUT
I’M ASLEEP, I’M IN A DREAM
I DON’T KNOW HOW BUT I SEEM
TO BE AWARE OF THIS
COMFORTABLE SILENCE
COMFORTABLE SILENCE
COMFORTABLE SILENCE
WE’RE SO BUSY, ALWAYS RUSHING
BUT FOR NOW WE’LL SIT AND JUST DO NOTHING
AND LET THE SOUND
OF NOTHING RUSHING
PASS ROUND
AND AS THE WORLD SLOWS DOWN
IN THE SILENCE
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN US
ALL WORKS OUT

The morning after you do it you’ve that smile upon your face
The morning after you do it earthly things seem blessed with a heavenly grace
Your hair’s a mess
And you’re barely dressed
Cause your clothes are half all over her floor
The morning after you do it
The morning after you do it you’re high fiving every where
Your hips start to wiggle your shoulders got a jiggle
You’re acting gay but you just don’t care
You probably smell like an armpit
But you radiate the essence of man
The morning after you do it
You grin at girls normally in your dreams
They’re smiling back, you’re right up top with the creams
It’s your day
You’ve hit a home run so what if you get carried away
You’ve won a crowd, you hold ‘em all in a tranc
They gather round, they all wanna taste your chance
Of romance
But with a glance
You clap your hands and you say “it’s time to dance”
And it’s all Summer
The city brightens in Summer
How can it not make you wonder
Of life and its miracles?
Oh Summer
I believe that I love her
Never be another
After Summer
But
The morning after you do it you just bathe in the glow of sex
You ‘shotgun’ builders they stand there all bewildered
As you swing your butt and you flex your pecs
There’s a blue bird from a Disney movie
Singing especially for you
Your heart beats fast
To a marching band
They’re celebrating
Throughout the land
It's all for the boy and the one night stand
The morning after you do it

TODAY I MET MY HERO
THE HERO OF MY DREAMS
HE WAS SMALL AND PALER IN THE FLESH
BUT A FRICKIN REAL LIFE HERO
THAT I’VE WORSHIPPED SINCE THIRTEEN
ALTHOUGH HIS BREATH WAS NOT SO FRESH
AND NOW I’VE MET HIM
THERE’S SOMETHING MISSING
I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR
IT’S LIKE HE’S MISSING
WHAT I AM MISSING
I’M SO UNSURE
CAUSE I WAS TOLD BEFORE I GOT OLD
THAT HEROS ARE ‘MYTHICAL CONSTRUCTS’
AND NOT TO BE TRUSTED
THEY’RE JUST LEFT OVER SCARS
FROM WHEN WE EVOLVED
BUT THERE’S A DEEP DOWN PART OF MY HEART
THAT’S CRYING OUT TO BELIEVE
IN ALL MY DREAMS
OF KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOUR
AND A GOD BEHIND THE THUNDER
OH MAKE IT THUNDER
SO TODAY I MET MY HERO
AND IT SEEMS THEY GOT IT RIGHT
AND IT’S ALL A BIG FAT FANTASY
AND PEOPLE DON’T NEED HEROS
TO GET THEM THROUGH THE NIGHT
THEY MAKE THEIR OWN REALITY
BUT OH WITHOUT HIM
I’M ALWAYS DOUBTING
MY HEADS A MESS AND I DON’T HAVE A CURE
MY STUPID HERO
IS JUST A WEIRDO
WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR

08 Simple
02:46

Night was dark
Day was night
How I saw before in black and white
Things were simple
Simply simple
And small
Now the time
Rules the day
And the colours brush me into many shades of grey
Not so simple
Maybe simple
Is tall
All you grow, all you learn
Makes you more unsure where to turn
Why can’t simple
Just stay simple
For all
Tell me why
In the sky
There’s a dark light burning and it burns my eye
Please be simple
Don’t want simple
To fall
When you’re simple
Nothing’s simple
At all

Oh babe I just dunno where to start really it/ breaks my heart when I see what they’ve done to you/ sittin’ there tied to a chair in your underwear/ ooh I like your hair have you had it straightened?
/anyways you being nearly naked makes it easier/ kind of reminds me of the last time I was seein’ yer/remember Ronnie Scotts? we danced a lot, you said I looked hot/ you said something about the economy too but I forgot
/It was good night right a fun night right I could have / danced all night but the inevitable happened well /in the morning you disappeared without warning / no goodbye so I had a cry and I went shopping – I bought this Jimmy Choo handbag, amazing…..
TWO WEEKS LATER HEARD A SONG ON THE RADIO
NEW RELEASE, FUNKY BEATS AND IT MADE ME GO “OH

MEANT TO BE

YUP, WE’RE HAVING A BABY BABY

I JUST CAN’T HELP IT I’M A NAUGHTIES BABY BABY
Now/I understand it was a one night deal please don’t / feel like I’m tryin’ to trap you or nothing I mean/ I’m too young to have a kid I was gonna get rid / even borrowed off my Daddy the thousand quid but
/ here you are under lock and key in front of / me and I can’t help but think of providence / you’re an artist I’m the Mayor’s daughter / we aughta capitalise on our potential!
/ We’ll get our pictures in ‘Hello’ and ‘Okay’ okay?/ Okay, then we got your auto-biograph-ay/ we’ll get paid to attend film premiers/ havin’ a child could make both our careers – and I haven’t even started on the merchandising…
AND I’LL RECORD A SONG FOR THE RADIO
NEW RELEASE FUNKY BEATS THAT’LL MAKE YOU GO
“OH, IS THERE SOMETHING MORE TO LIFE”
AND IF IT DON’T WORK OUT FOR YOU AND ME
CAUSE NO ONE REALLY MEANS ETERNITY
WE’LL HAVE A BATTLE FOR CUSTODY
SO DO YOU WANT A BABY BABY?
CAUSE WE’RE HAVING A BABY BABY
A CELEBRITY BABY BABY
DO YOU WANT THIS BABY BABY?
IT’LL BE A RICH BABY BABY
DON’T BE SUCH A BABY BABY
I JUST CAN’T HELP IT I’M A NAUGHTIES BABY BABY

10 Mermaids

Life is trains and life is stations
Life is beds and visitation hours
Lovely flowers
Life is fading yellow curtains
Life’s ignoring what’s for certain soon
Nearly June
And sometimes I feel like the mermaid
Born from land and sea
I’m half my life among the fish
And half what I could be
That’s me
Life is sheets and contemplating
Life is much appreciating tea
Lovely tea
Life’s a game you sometimes lose
But in the end it’s what you choose to do
I love you
Sometimes I feel like the mermaid torn from land and sea
I’m halfway drowning dying for air
But half what I could be
And if I cut myself in two
Then half of me will be
So free

WE WANT SPEED
WE WANT POWER
WANT MORE MINUTES TO THE HOUR
WANT MORE WORLD TO DEVOUR
WE NEED LOVE
WE WANT CHOICE
WANT CONTROL
WANT THE BODY NOT THE SOUL
BUT WE CAN'T REMAIN WHOLE
WITHOUT LOVE
LOVE CAN CHANGE
LOVE CAN GROW
LOVE IS REAPED FROM WHAT WE SOW
LOVE IS MORE THAN WE KNOW
WE NEED LOVE
WHEN YOU'RE LOST
YOU CAN'T COPE
THAT'S WHEN LOVE WILL SEND ITS ROPE
IT'S A CORD OF FRESH HOPE
IT'S CALLED LOVE
WE LOVE
(THE FIRST TOUCH OF LOVE SETS US FREE AND ALIVE)
(FREE AND ALIVE)
WE LOVE
LOVE IS REAL
LOVE IS RAW
LOVE WON’T LOCK BEHIND A DOOR
LOVE WILL NOT BE IGNORED
WE NEED LOVE
LOVE IS REAL (I’M ALIVE)
NOT A TREND (I’M ALIVE)
AT THE START AND AT THE END
LOVE IS ALWAYS A FRIEND
WE NEED LOVE
WE LOVE
(THE FIRST TOUCH OF LOVE SETS US FREE AND ALIVE)
(FREE AND ALIVE
WE LOVE
