Excess

[ Featuring Alanis Morissette ]

Tricky :
I believe in
I deceive in
Bottom weaving
I can breathe in
Make a wish in
Flower fishing
Moving vibration
Mild relation
I'm jamaican on your radio station
Got a curse in
Could be worse in
You first
In a hearse in
Good as dead in
Nothing left in
Nothing left in
Some be heading
I need a head rest in
And a feed from a warm breast
A man making hits
For the childhood of hicks
Underground like
Who's it sound like
You all sound the same
But you don't know my name

Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people lying
I believe in people dying
I believe in people trying
I believe in people crying
Alanis Morissette:
Ah
Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people balking
I believe in people talking
Alanis Morissette:
Ah
Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people breathing
I believe in people being

Tricky:
We all sound the same
You don't know my name
Rearrange and
Things don't change
Things remain
Feel the strain
Stress
Catch my breath
(There'll be a new tale of)
Get some rest
(He and I)
From the mess
(In fact any time)
I couldn't care less
(Every day)
Sugar cane
(Write fictional stories)
Is like smack to my vein
Shook fame
(If you want to)
But I don't complain
(On the street)

Stephanie McKay:
I believe in different reasons
I believe in breath through seasons
I believe when snow flakes fall
I believe in buildings tall
Alanis Morissette:
Ah
Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people bombing
I believe in people warring
I believe diseases coming
I believe that's why I'm running
Alanis Morissette:
Ah
Stephanie McKay:
Keep living
Alanis Morissette:
Ah
Stephanie McKay:
Keep living

Tricky:
(Alanis Morissette in the background)
You gotta ask
(There'll be a new tale of)
Before he attacks
(He and I)
You got the flats
(In fact any time)
Dub my sacks
(Every day)
You've got the city
(Writing fictional stories)
Move out of the country
I'm scrunching
(If you want to)
Friends that are punchy
(On the street)

Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people falling
I believe in people warring
I believe diseases coming
I believe that's why I'm running
Alanis Morissette:
Ah
Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people balking
I believe in people talking
Alanis Morissette:
Ah

Stephanie McKay:
I believe in people breathing
I believe in people being
Alanis Morissette:
Ah

Stephanie McKay:
Keep living...

Evolution Revolution Love

[ Featuring Ed Kowalczyk, Garrison Hawk ]

Evolution Revolution Love

Tricky :
Now that you got it right
Bring love and it'll make it alright
Bring love and we'll take it tonite
Now that you got it right
Who wants the sinner
Coming round for dinner
Who needs effects
Who needs to pay for sex
When they drop the bomb?
Who will stay calm
Blood would spill
Who would you kill?
Ed Kowalczyk :
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
(Has just begun)
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
Has just begun

Hawkman :
Walking down the street with my little rude gun
Top of my gun pocket for fun
Block on my tongue
Top of my earth
Tip of my birth
Top of my earth
Tip of my breast
Top of my chest
Tip of my guess
I've got the singles
I got the jingles
Bet you eat pringles with chris kringles
Walking on the road with my little rude gun

Ed Kowalczyk :
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
(Has just begun)
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
Has just begun

Tricky :
Stepping on the street with my little rude girl
Tip of my toes
Top of my world
Top of my earth
Top of my rock
Tip of my block
Now that you got it right
Bring love and I'll make it alright
bring love and we'll take it tonite
now that you got it right

Ed Kowalczyk :
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
(Has just begun)
Has just begun

Hawkman :
She was born in the ghetto
outside the bronx
in a project blocks
where time stands still
it don't tick it don't tock
Top of my sun
Keep all my love
Top of my chest
Tip of my breast
Top of my earth
Walking on the road
With my soul in my hand
Tip on my toes
Top of my span

Ed Kowalczyk :
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
(Revolution has just begun)
Has just begun

Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
Has just begun
Just begun
Just begun

Ed Kowalczyk :
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mind
This revolution
(Has just begun)
Has just begun
Now that I understand this right
Let me take it to the mike
This revolution
(Has just begun)
Has just begun
Now that you've got it right

Hawkman:
Boy take man F clune
Ya fool boy think say more
A comearound yo!
Let's take the downtown
Me have me gone in a me yard
A me guard so if a boy want
Me seen of a the scene
And come back without a clue
Take me feel afraid
Me pop off and ease off
To me want the marathon crew

Ambersunshower:
When love is lost
All I hear are gunshots over me
When love is drawn
It soaks and floats all over me
All over me
Over me
Over me

Hawkman:
When you think a one or two
Do and ya
They ready to kill them couldn't cross the border
Shot a lick them right middle left to center
Like sunshine they shot them over and over
The make sure them dead their body in a corner
Blood run down like some stagnant water

Ambersunshower:
When lonely
It gives and gives all over me
When love is strong
It goes on and on
All over me
Over me
Over me

Hawkman:
Will ever since then they get me blood warm
I never come so I'd wish I wasn't born
Another punk guys ring the alarm
Now what's left is CPR but he already gone

Ambersunshower:
When love is lost
All I hear are gunshots over me
When love is drawn
It soaks and floats all over me
Over me
Over me

Girls

When lonely
It gives and gives all over me
When love's strong
It goes on and on
All over me
Over me
Over me
Tricky:
Girls, Boys
Girls wish you never had boys
They grow up to be bad boys
Cry I've never had boys
Never seen your dad boy
I've never seen my dad boy
Without the Roy
And when my career stops kicking
I'm gonna stick him

John Frusciante:
Rock-a-dub now let me show you where it's at boy
Just a puppet and you grew into a fat boy
Make a dog and you chase another cat boy
Blow it up and let me show you where its at boy

Tricky:
Girls wish you never had boys
They grow up to be bad boys
Cry I've never had boys
Never seen your dad boy
I've never seen my dad boy
Without the Roy
And when my career stops kicking
I'm gonna stick him

Anthony Kiedis:
Staring through the sun tell your devil beware
I am not the son of your family affair
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand
Genetics from my gun, trust me I don't care

Tricky:
I don't need no man
Little boys

John Frusciante:
Rappa rouser, bappa bouser
Shake it for me baby let me step into your trousers
I allow this
Come on baby let me take to the houses
I allow this
This is now and you better bow this
This is now and you better bow this
This is now and you better bow this

Anthony Kiedis & Tricky:
Staring through the sun tell your devil beware (jamaica's skirts and blouses)
I am not the son of your family affair (he didn't rob his houses)
Baby breaks away and I've got my face in my hand (f*ck the biological)
Genetics from my gun, trust me I don't care

Tricky:
I don't need no man
Little boys

Tricky:
I'm not a fire starter
Cause I'm a little smarter
Smarter than the average bear
I don't care family's there

John Frusciante:
Rock-a-dub now let me show you where it's at boy
Just a puppet and you grew into a fat boy
Make a dog and you chase another cat boy
Blow it up and let me show you where it's at boy

Anthony Kiedis & Tricky:
Staring through the sun tell your devil beware (jamaica's skirts and blouses)
I am not the son of your family affair (he didn't rob his houses)

You dont wanna

Ambersunshower :
You want to estimate
The distance that it takes
To find a lover lover
You want to rectify
This mad look in my eyes
Then find your other lover

I found out how to be perfect for you my dear
While I was bumping around bumping around

You want to estimate
The distance that it takes
To find a lover lover
Come on let's rectify
This mad look in my eye
Come on yes let's discover

You don't want to face me when you
You don't want to make me when you
You don't want to take me when you
You don't want to face me when you
You don't want to make me when you
You don't want to take me when you
Fail

One day you'll hold your head
So dark and withered dead
Wish you were here
A simple task to feed
Of unforgiven greed
Wish you were here

I found out how to be perfect for you my dear
While I was bumping around bumping around

You don't want to face me when you
You don't want to make me when you
You don't want to take me when you
You don't want to face me when you
You don't want to make me when you
You don't want to take me when you

I found out how to be perfect for you my dear
While I was bumping around bumping around

One day you'll hold your head
So dark and withered dead
Wish you were here
A simple task to feed
Of unforgiven greed
Wish you were here

You don't want to face me when you
You don't want to make me when you
You don't want to take me when you
You don't want to face me when you
You don't want to make me when you
You don't want to take me when you

#1 Da Woman

[ Featuring Flea, John Frusciante ]

She's malicious
As some delicious
Superstitious super suspicious
Wonder woman
Wonder woman
Wonder woman
Wonder woman
You just rewind
And you just be fine
You just be fine
And you just be mine
You just rewind
You just be fine
You just be mine
And you just be mine

[Chorus]
You show me everything
You feel me everywhere
You pretend that you care
Do you care?

I fit to fall through time
I knew you weren't mine
I shine light through the sky
One thing I try and try
Capture my world
I'll lose love when I force the flew
Being will never be
Honey remember me

So tuck you hair behind you ears,
Your tears and your silly fears
I'll be your teddy bear
You choose the clothes I wear
For you I'll suffer much pain,
Sharp glass my brain,
For you I lose, lose my focus
For you I swim, swim in locusts

[Chorus]

Every time I am you
I feel forever changed,
Posing along the beat,
Keeping the chemistry
I way myself right down
Always I never found
I'm raging off so tight,
Feeling low feeling high

[Chorus]

Here I remain
She don't know my name
Would she love me
If I had real fame
I feel bad pain
Here come that rain
I don't complain
She's too complex
Tell me your name
Is that your real sex

Your Name

If you like-a me like
I like-a you
Then we like are just the same

I'd like to say,
This very day
I'd like to change your name

Cause I love you and
Love-a is true and
If you will love-a me

One live as two
To live as one
Under the mango tree

If you like-a me like
I like-a you
Then we like are just the same

I'd like to say,

I'd like to change your name

Cause I love you and

I'd like to change your name

Cause I love you and
Love-a is true and
If you will love-a me

One live as two
To live as one

(Said almost wispering, barely audiable over the music. Sung only by
tricky at this point)

[Two live as one
We live as two
Under the mango tree

If you like-a me like
I like-a you
Then we like are just the same

I'd like to say
This very day]

I'd like to change your name

Cause I love you and
Love-a is true and

Bury The Evidence

Tricky:
(Hawkman in the background)

I can picture it now
You in your car
Left the bar
Playing Big Part
Keep up complainin'
It's probably rainin'
Keeping complaining
It's probably raining
You're gonna visit your car
It's one of my peeps
With a blow to your head
Is that what you need
You're probably bleeding
Is that what you needed
You're probably bleeding
Just like a movie
Just like a movie
Just like a movie
Life doesn't move me
Life doesn't move me
I keep with you now
Here in your car
Left the bar
Playing the Big Part
Keeping complaining
It's probably raining
It's one of my peeps
With a blow to your head
Is that what you needed
What you needed
What you needed
You caught me breathing
It's just like a movie
Life's just like a movie
It's like a movie
Just like a movie
It doesn't move me
Move me
Move me
It doesn't move me
Life doesn't move
It doesn't move me
Move me
It's like a blow to the head
It's like a blow to my head
It doesn't move me
Move me
Move me
Move me
It doesn't move me
It's like a movie
Just like a movie
Blow to the head
Life's like a blow to the head
What you needed what you needed what you needed

Life's like a blow to the head
It's that what you needed
Is that what you needed

A blow to the head

It doesn't move

It's like a movie

Something In The Way

[ Originally by Nirvana ]

[Hawkman]
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals I have trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off the grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way
Something in the way

Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And all the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off the grass
And the drippings from my ceiling
It's okay to eat fish
'cause they don't have any feelings

Something in the way
Something in the way
Something in the way

Five days

[ Featuring Cyndi Lauper ]

Five days
Cyndi Lauper and Tricky:
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
Five days
I ran a wolf across highways
In the early spring (don't stop you're gonna break my heart)
The rest of my days
Should I stay should I pray
That I'm here now clear now
Live with the fears
To extend my tears
Shed no have no
Undecided
Five days in which I can't wait now (I need you)
Can't wait now (you needed me)
Bet you can't wait now (whatever happened to compatible two)
Making you wait now

I ran a wolf across highways in the early spring
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more

Have I the meanings
I don't think I'm cheating
I create like the windy city (Don't go)
But the drums spread (I told you so)
Here we go with the games now
Maintain now
Might as well have you down now
Five days that you can't wait now (no need to smile)
Making you hate now

The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more
The five to fours can't take it no more

Bet you can't wait now
Making you wait now
Don't go I told you so
After what you've had
That look on your face you rat
When you talk like that
I just want to get you back

Anata no tame nara donna itami ni mo taerareru (For you I'd suffer much pain)
Garasu no hahen ni mo, zutsu ni mo (Sharp glass migraine)
Anata wa shoten o ushinatteiru (For you I'd lose my focus)
Batta no mure no naka o oyoideiru ne (I'd swim in swarms of locusts)

For you I'd swim with ease
Save the planet

For you I'd put a dress on
A dress to impress on
