In the name of And by the power of The holy spirit May we invoke your Intercession for The children of england Some of whom have seen Murder so obscene Some of whom have been taken
Let not another child be slain Let not another search be made in vain
Jah forgive us For forgetting Jah help us We need more loving See the teachers Are representing you So badly That not many can see you
Let not another child be slain Let not another search be made in vain
I once saw a dragonfly Caught in a spider's web As I looked at her once more I thought that she was dead
So I left her alone and I went on my way And I was dreaming of Paris and Pierre Boulez But she called to me with a beat of her wing She called to me and said, "Free me!"
She said, "Come and fly away With me tonight Come and fly away With me Come and fly away With me tonight" She said, "Ah ah ah..."
I've been up there before Riding the wind and Laughing and open But now I am afraid of flying I am afraid of finding the black again I am afraid of flying I am afraid of finding the black fade, black again
And now we're grown up orphans That never knew their names We don't belong to no one That's a shame you could hide beside me Maybe for a while And I won't tell no one your name And I won't tell 'em your name
scars are souvenirs you never lose The past is never far Did you lose yourself somewhere out there? Did you get to be a star? And don't it make you sad to know that life Is more than who we are
I'm the blade You're the knife I'm the weight You're the kite They were right when they said we should never meet our heroes When they bowed at their feet, in the end it wasn't me
Is this my life? Oh, am I breathing underwater? Is this my life? Oh, am I breathing underwater?
Nights are days We'll beat a path through the mirrored maze I can see the end But it hasn't happened yet I can see the end But it hasn't happened yet
The swimmer knows she'll never touch the floor She can float unharmed by murky wars And the land is as plain as her skin But the water shines like the star in her mind
I can hardly see you now Are you getting closer and Do you know you're the one? They will never understand How washed up you feel on land The spotlight of the sun, it shines on
So you're feeling tied up to a sense of control And make decisions that you think are your own You are a stranger here, why have you come? Why have you come, lift me higher, let me look at the sun Look at the sun and once I hear them clearly, say
Now you're moving on and you say you're alone Suspicious that this string is moving your bones We are the fire, we see how they run See how they run, lift me higher, let me look at the sun Look at the sun and once I hear them clearly, say
Who, who are you really? And where, where are you going? I've got nothing left to prove Cause I've got nothing left to lose See me bare my teeth for you See me bare my teeth
a prayer for england ↝ massive attack
In the name of
And by the power of
The holy spirit
May we invoke your
Intercession for
The children of england
Some of whom have seen
Murder so obscene
Some of whom have been taken
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain
Jah forgive us
For forgetting
Jah help us
We need more loving
See the teachers
Are representing you
So badly
That not many can see you
Let not another child be slain
Let not another search be made in vain
dragonfly ↝ my brightest diamond
I once saw a dragonfly
Caught in a spider's web
As I looked at her once more
I thought that she was dead
So I left her alone and I went on my way
And I was dreaming of Paris and Pierre Boulez
But she called to me with a beat of her wing
She called to me and said, "Free me!"
She said, "Come and fly away
With me tonight
Come and fly away
With me
Come and fly away
With me tonight"
She said, "Ah ah ah..."
I've been up there before
Riding the wind and
Laughing and open
But now I am afraid of flying
I am afraid of finding the black again
I am afraid of flying
I am afraid of finding the black fade, black again
name ↝ boyce avenue
And now we're grown up orphans
That never knew their names
We don't belong to no one
That's a shame
you could hide beside me
Maybe for a while
And I won't tell no one your name
And I won't tell 'em your name
scars are souvenirs you never lose
The past is never far
Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?
And don't it make you sad to know that life
Is more than who we are
breathing underwater ↝ metric
I'm the blade
You're the knife
I'm the weight
You're the kite
They were right when they said we should never meet our heroes
When they bowed at their feet, in the end it wasn't me
Is this my life?
Oh, am I breathing underwater?
Is this my life?
Oh, am I breathing underwater?
Nights are days
We'll beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
But it hasn't happened yet
the swimmer ↝ sleater-kinney
The swimmer knows she'll never touch the floor
She can float unharmed by murky wars
And the land is as plain as her skin
But the water shines like the star in her mind
I can hardly see you now
Are you getting closer and
Do you know you're the one?
They will never understand
How washed up you feel on land
The spotlight of the sun, it shines on
who are you, really? ↝ mikky ekko
So you're feeling tied up to a sense of control
And make decisions that you think are your own
You are a stranger here, why have you come?
Why have you come, lift me higher, let me look at the sun
Look at the sun and once I hear them clearly, say
Now you're moving on and you say you're alone
Suspicious that this string is moving your bones
We are the fire, we see how they run
See how they run, lift me higher, let me look at the sun
Look at the sun and once I hear them clearly, say
Who, who are you really?
And where, where are you going?
I've got nothing left to prove
Cause I've got nothing left to lose
See me bare my teeth for you
See me bare my teeth
