| This girl I know needs some shelter She don’ t believe anyone can help her She’ s doing so much harm, doing so much damage But you don’ t want to get involved You tell her she can manage And you can’ t change the way she feels But you could put your arms around her I know you want to live yourself I stand in front of you I stand in front of you You’ re a boy and i’ m a girl I stand in front of you I stand in front of you She’ s a girl and you’ re a boy I stand in front of you I stand in front of you You’ re a girl and i’ m a boy [x4] Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter I stand in front of you I stand in front of you You’ re a boy and i’ m a girl [x4] |
Cette fille, je sais, à besoin d’ une épaule Elle pense que personne ne pourra l’ aider Elle a causé tellement de torts, elle fait tellement de dégâts Mais tu ne veux pas t’ investir Tu lui dis lui qu’ elle va y arriver Et tu ne peux pas changer ce qu’ elle ressent Mais tu peux mettre tes bras autour d’ elle Je sais que tu veux vivre par toi-même Je suis en face de toi Je suis en face de toi Tu es un garçon et je suis une fille Je suis en face de toi Je suis en face de toi C’ est une fille et tu es un garçon Je suis en face de toi Je suis en face de toi Tu es une fille et je suis un garçon Parfois tu parais si petit, tu as besoin d’ une épaule Je suis en face de toi Je suis en face de toi Tu es un garçon et je suis une fille |

Three
(vowles, del naja, marshall, hooper suwoton)
[Nicolette]
| Three’ s my lucky number And fortune comes in threes But I wish I knew that number That even little children seem to see Oh, I’ m missing everything I knew It’ s just so hard to be a child Oh, i’ m missing all the things i knew Yet whinge i knew nothing at all I whinge i knew nothing at all Soon i’ ll have the courage Oh, i’ m missing all the things i knew |
3 est mon chiffre porte-bonheur Et la richesse (la chance) vient grâce aux 3 Mais j’ aurai souhaité connaître ce chiffre Que même les petits enfants ont l’ air de comprendre Oh, je perds petit à petit tout ce que je savais C’ est si difficile d’ être un enfant Oh, je perds petit à petit toutes ces choses que je savais En fait, j’ aurai préféré de rien savoir du tout j’ aurai préféré de rien savoir du tout Bientôt j’ aurai le courage Oh, je perds petit à petit toutes ces choses que je savais |

Spying Glass
(vowles, del naja, marshall, hooper, andy)
[Horace Andy]
You live in the city
You stay by yourself
You a-find all weakness
Still some people they brand you ya
Just because you are rasta
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You a-find all company
When you check it them-a use spying glass
They want to know all your business
You live in the city
You mind your own business
What you see you don’ t see
But some people they always see
They never mind their own business
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You think you’ re far from the weak
When you check it them-a use spying glass
They want to know rasta business
Spying Glass !
Spying Glass !
Yeah
Better things

[Tracy Thorn]
| Don’ t drag me down Just because you’ re down And just cause you’ re blue Don’ t make me too And though you’ ve found You need more than me Don’ t talk to me About being free That’ s freedom without love Hear me say You say the magic’ s gone You want freedom without love Hear me say |
Ne me tire pas vers le bas Juste parce que tu es au plus bas Et juste parce que tu as le blues Ne me file pas le blues Bien que tu aies trouvé Tu as besoin de plus que moi Ne me parle pas D’ être libre C’ est une liberté sans amour Ecoute moi Tu dis que la magie est partie Tu veux une liberté sans amour Ecoute moi |

Sitting in my day care, the art is decopainted
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner’ s where we’ ve seen it
Chased by the plane it
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set was blue like neon
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I’ ve seen this city somewhere
I’ m looking out for no-one
Pallor in my eye it get blue like neon
[Tricky]
Hell is round the corner where i shelter
Isms and schisms we’ re living on a skelter
If you believe i’ ll deceive then common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till i take further evidence
I seem to need a reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say i’ m a good neighbour
I trudge so judge me for my labour
I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if i was some kind of a
A total stranger
[3D]
Hysterical, ecstatical no matter, call me stags( ?)
Hard to get a drink or a girl to relax
Upon phono, no go zone i go through
Aching awaits just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
Now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when i get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
So goodbye
[Tricky]
Take a second of me you beckon i’ ll be
And when you’ re sad i’ ll mourn
And when you tear i’ m torn
Take a second of me
Take a second of me
I stand firm for our soil
I lick a rock off foil
So reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in Stussy.
Show me and i’ ll stick em
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me
[3D]
Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby tagging up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, media dego painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window indigo when they go boom
I run inside my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa
Roll in a daydream
Spliff make daddy go sleep-a-trip dream

I try to believe what i feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It’ s hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me
I already know my children’ s children’ s faces
Voices that i’ ve heard before
There’ s always more
There’ s always more
Wondering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wondering, wondering
Where we can do what we please
Wondering
I feel like a thousand years have passed
I’ m younger than i used to be
I feel like the world is my home at last
I know everyone that i meet
Somewhere in the music i can hear the bells
I heard a thousand years before
There’ s always more
There’ s always more
Wondering is this there all there is
Since i was since I began to be
Wondering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wondering

Light my fire (live)
(the doors)
[Horace Andy]
You know that it would be untrue
You know that i would be a liar
If was to say to you
Girl, we couldn’ t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
You know that it would be untrue
You know that i would be a liar
If was to say to you
Girl we couldn’ t get much higher
Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
Try to set the night on fire [X4]
