BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO BETTER THINGS

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thorn, watt, brown)

Tracy Thorn

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
Aalthough you've found
Beauty more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free

That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love

Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way

You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
Ah, that's bullshit babe
You just won't let it be

You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah

Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO KARMACOMA

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thaws, norfolk, locke)

Tricky

You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Won't lie and say this lovin's best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest

3D

I see you digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be seen to seen to
Money like it's paper with faces i remember
I drink on a daily basis
Though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper

Tricky

Walking through the suburbs though not exactly lovers
You're a couple, 'specially when your body's doubled
Duplicate, then you wait for the next kuwait

(both)

Karmacoma, jamaica' aroma (x4)

3D

You sure you want to be with me i've nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest
Take a walk take a rest a taste of rest

Tricky

Don't want to be on top of your list
Phenomenally and properly kissed
We overcome in sixty seconds
With the strength we have to together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
When there's trust there'll be treats
And when we funk we'll hear beats

(both)

Karmacoma, jamaica' aroma (x4)

3D

Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, see i'm swazy
Digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy

Tricky

Don't wanna on top of your list
Monopoly and properly kissed

3D

Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, you must be lazy

Karmacoma, what?, jamaica aroma

Nicolette

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

Wandering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

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

Wandering is this there all there is
Since i was since I began to be
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO PROTECTION

(vowles, del naja, marshall, thorn)

Tracy Thorn

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
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And I don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
You've got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
And I've leaned on me
Now you can lean on me
And that's more than love, that's the way
It should be
Now I can't change the way you think
But I can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel
I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow

You're a boy and i'm a girl

Way that we say 'em in style that we raid 'em in

Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs
'Cause brother it's relative
The ??? is pickup all the lyrics on the dancefloor
To raise your spirit level 'cause it demands more

Tricky

Attitude is cool degrees below zero
Up against the wall behaving like De Niro
Tricky's performing taking his photo
Make him stand with a tan touch it like cocoa
Smooth keep it moving at the back now
Free as the needle that's moving through the track now

3D

Hands keep the drummer's beats we need new sticks
Dance around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we drop
The paper which you use my toungue to lick with

Tricky

Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life
Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn

The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street

Tricky

If i was a rich man

Daddy G

Da da dada

Tricky

I quietly observe standing in my space

Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
But we're happy when the bomb drops
Down

3D

Don't make sound
'Cause the dancefloor's a desert
And the dancers are parched
Do a rain dance and you brace through a marsh
My heavy my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones soul is what I say to 'em
The surreal boom of the budokan stadium

Shara Nelson

Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space

Tricky

Well i'm tricky kid don't deal with sadness
Can't be with the one i love i love the one that i miss
I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor
Don't need another lover just need, i'm insecure

3D

The weather is a-changin' the storms be shakin
The love that you make is equal to the love you're makin
Here comes the sun little darlin here comes the sun

Hip-hop you don't stop cause i'm not sloppy

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO BULLETPROOF LOVE

I'm not good in a crowd
I got skills I can't speak of
Things I've seen will chase me to the grave
I'm not good in a crowd
I got skills I can't speak of over there
Things that I've seen will chase me to the grave

Plan with your hands tied
Face in the sand flies
Stumble the dunes
Complain to the moon
Backs to the wheel
This granite's too short

Take it, they give it
Or rivet for rivet
I will move for my family
A Bulletproof Love

How does it feel
The weight of the steel
The weight of the steel
The flat of the bay

How does it feel
To kneel at defeat
To kneel at the feet
Of the choices you make

I'm not good in a crowd
I got skills I can't speak of
Things I've seen will chase me to the grave

Backs to the wheel
This granite's too short
Take it, they give it
Rivet for rivet
I build for my family
A Bulletproof love

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO PSYCHE

I'm looking for you in the woods tonight,

I'm looking

Looking for you in my flashlight, I'm searching

From in the high or down the ocean

And I face myself in reason

Gain the wolf

Gain the wolf

Conjure me as a child

Slipping down a webside

Stretch up I cannot reach him

Jumping up they drag him from the water

I watch them march him into life

I watch them take him from the pale

Into the sky for your eagle eye

The sun seeds a sickle and a scythe

Ridicule they won't allow

Quench abuse and let love flower

Rip the cage out of your chest

Let the chaos rule the rest

Show without showing

What you know without knowing

Twigs snap eye / I catch no canoe only you and me

Alone on the ol' teal sea

Dissolving who we are

Call out for yesterdays destiny come

We're on a foreign shore

It was your mark of falling

I was the car still running

And when you call i'll be your shield for life

And if you feel it you will fly

The sun should have been with me

When I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

As I was set to fall in

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO PRAY FOR RAIN

In deepest hollow of our minds
A system failure left behind
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain
And their necks crane

Dull residue of what once was
A shattered cloud of swirling doves
And their eyes change
As they learn to see through flames
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain
And their eyes change
As they learn to see through flames
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain

Drops on rocks fall fast and fleeting
Hearts and wings commence to beating
Woods unseen with all believing
Vision walls fall all receding
Vision walls fall all receding
Drops on rocks come fast and fleeting
Rhythm laws unleash their meaning
Usher us into the dreaming
Vision walls fall all receding
Hearts and wings commence to beating
All unending all completing
Vision walls fall fast and fleeting
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing
Vision walls fall all revealing

In deepest hollow of our minds
A system failure left behind
Dull residue of what once was
A shattered cloud of swirling doves
And their eyes changed
As they learned to see through flames
And their necks craned
As they prayed for rain

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO SPLITTING THE ATOM

The baby was born
Nettles and Ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
This disguise covers
Bitter lies
Repeating the joke
The meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not a-
'fraid to leave
I'm letting you know
I know what you need
I'll turn you around
This beautiful town
And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Don't Lose It

Its getting colder outside
Your rented space
They shadow box and they
Paper chase
It never stops
And we'll never learn
No hope without dope
The jobless return
The bankers have bailed
The mighty retreat
The pleasure it fails
At the end of the week
You take it or leave
Or what you receive
To what you receive
Is eternited leave

Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Its easy, dont let it go
Don't lose it

Incandescent light at doors
In adolescent menopause
In little clicks you got the music stops
The needle sticks and the penny drops
The summer's gone before you know
The muffled drums of relentless flow
You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo
The sun's still burning and dust will blow
Honey scars I'll keep you near
Our blood is gold nothing to fear
We killed the time and I love you dear
A kiss of wine we'll disappear
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible
The last of the last particles
Divisible invisible

Oh, i'm missing all the things i knew
Yet wish i knew nothing at all

Soon i'll have the courage
To leave my thoughts behind
I'll give back all the knowledge
And keep the wisdom precious in my mind

Oh, i'm missing all the things i knew

Hangin' around with girl who's rolling up her jeans
She watches her street cred 'cause she's no dummy
Saw rockin the microphone and now she's calling me a honey
Says I know what I want don't move with thugs
We're house parties hip hop and smoking drugs
And whoever's been the boss she's down with 'em
She's always on time 'cause the girl got rhythm
To avoid all complications i'll give some information
About a certain location under Paddington Station
'Cause when I host my show-a I avoid the girl called lola
Who's more pu-pu-public than the drink they call it coca cola
I’m just practice posing face is shaded in black
Is dominating as my color the massive attack
Right now i hit it kick it flow smooth hit middle wicket

Tricky

I take a small step now it's a giant stride
People say I'm loud why should I hide
Only had a small taste so what a waste
I quietly observe though it's not my space
Bottom end's heavy you know we're never even
People call me Tricky for particular reason
I've got you see and I've got to let you know
See we're rockin' in your area rock beneath your balcony
My baby just cares for me well that's funny
Her touch tickles especially on my tummy

Daddy G

Now who's got the microphone

Tricky

Now who's honey

Daddy G

A turbo turbo and chant with a charge
Addy, Daddy G wild bunch crew at large
Don't call me an officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country planning also abroad
Plan to go to America when I get a visa card

Tricky

But gettin' a visa card nowadays isn't hard

Daddy G

So keep your ears glued listen to every chord
Tokyo city's one place that we toured
Four technic plus two mixer board
Sharper than a Wilkinson razor sword

3D

When I was a child I played subbuteo on
My table then I graduate to studio one
’Cos D’s my nom de plume you know but 3’s my pseudonym
And around my neck you know I wear the sony budokan
Indigo blues you got me in my own shoes
The people dancing in the shape for what they make
They can't lose
Yes waxing lyrical but this time it's not satirical
It's kinda spherical so jam me in a ???
This is the miracle of the dubplate dub selection

Daddy G

So whether you're black white or half-caste in your complection

3D

Yes pull out your phono plug and tuck you in your phony
It's started by marconi resumed by sony
A summary by wireless history and only
The massive attack enorme esplosione

Horace Andy

Get away with you gangsters
We don't want it
Get away with you gangsters
We don't like it
Eternal love eternal love
Money money money
Root of all evil
Money money money
Root of all evil

CONCERTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO BE THANKFUL FOR WHAT YOU'VE GOT

Tony Bryan

Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With the gangster lean
For what you've got

You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene
With the gangster lean ooh ooh ooh
Though you may not drive a great big cadillac
Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
You may not have a car at all
But just remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you've got
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene
With the Gangster lean
(x3)

CONCERTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO BLUE LINES

Tricky

Can't be with the one you love then love the one you're with
Spliff in the ashtray, red stripe I pull the lid
Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle
But I don't hear her words 'cause I slide the instrumental
Keep the girl in the distance, moves are very hazy
No sunshine in my life the way I deal is shady

3D

Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter
To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass
Her face is on the paper not the strangers that I pass
The ones that looking back to see if they are looking back at me

Daddy G

Are you predator or do you fear me

3D

Yeah while I'm doing this I know
The place I really wanna go
The one I love but never gets near me

Tricky

It's a beautiful day, well it seems as such
Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much
Even if I told you, you still would not know me
Tricky never does, adrian mostly gets lonely
How we live in this existence, just being
English upbringing, background carribean

3D

It's the way that we ?bility?
Sharing a soliloquy
We cut the broken thread from flexibility
Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese
No sunshine in my life 'cause the way I deal is hazy
And everyday's a daisy 'cause I'm on my toes
While contemporaries of mine remaining comatose

Tricky

There's a looking glass she's looking through
She hated me, but then she loved me too
I'd lie not try so I lost faith
Then turn to her to keep the faith
She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind
And on a nine to five lemon, looking for the lime

3D

Box clever, watch your system come together
Crazy weather at the end of my tether

Daddy G

Massive in the area, murderer
Attack inna the area, murderer

3D

Some go softly softly round the habitat
Ratchet in the right hand
They got no one to stab it at
Take a walk billy, don't be a hero
Effort's on minimal though almost touch zero
Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram

Car paint blue, green, primer and zinc
Take it to extremities my purple and pink
I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain
I can't stand the drops they're dripping down my windowpane
They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a spark upon my soul
They leave the rainbows in the dark

Tricky

Blues get big, massive are even larger
Save nuff space into the tricky tardis
We'd trawl what I saw from down in darren's hall
People laying their claim
In stormy weather it's rain

3D

But you're living on a see-saw

Tricky

I try to see more

3D

Somebody da-ditty, nobody
Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water
The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jetset
Silver papers of the sound within my budakon headset
The solar system watches in wisdom
The children dance as the moonlight kissed them

Tricky

To Massive attack Matt Black appear wearing beads
Two hours traveling so I wrote this on repeat
Always living fast, people getting jumpy
Where on ?gruggy? falls I do the walter crumpy
Microphones held close, crouching far apart
Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart

CONCERTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO ONE LOVE

Horace Andy

It's you I love and not another
And I know our love will last forever
You I love and not another
And I know we'll always be together
Some men have one love, two and three love
Four and five and six love
But I believe in one love
I believe in one love

Some men don't feel secure
Unless they have a woman on each arm
They have to play the field, prove they have charm
They say don't lay your eggs in one basket
If the basket should fall all your eggs'll be broken
But I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Oh girl I believe in one love
I believe in one love
Oh girl it's not the everyday you find the woman of your dreams
Who will always be there no matter how bad things seems
Ever so faithful ever so sure
No man could ever ask for more
I believe in 1 love
I believe in one love, oh girl
I believe in one love
I believe, girl, oh yeah
In one love, in one love
In one love, in one love
I do, I do, I do
In one love
I do
In one love
I believe in one love, in one love

CONCERTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO SAFE FROM HARM

Shara Nelson

Midnight ronkers
City slickers
Gunmen and maniacs
All will feature on the freakshow
And I can't do nothing 'bout that, no
But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate

You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

3d

I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin' back at me
To see me lookin' back at you

Shara Nelson

Crazy chancers
Seems to be moving fast

Of my childhood days
Well i can't do nothing 'bout that, no
But if you hurt what's mine

3d

I was lookin' back to see if you were
I was lookin I was

Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight

3d

Tell us what it is dangerous
Friends and enemies I find it's contagerous
And they're spreading through your system like a virus
Yes the trouble in the end it makes you anxious

I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me
To see me lookin back at you

I was lookin' back to see if you were lookin back at me
To see me lookin back at you

Shara Nelson

But if you hurt what's mine
I'll sure as hell retaliate
You can free the world you can free my mind
Just as long as my baby's safe from harm tonight (x2)

BIGLIETTI MASSIVE ATTACK, TESTO SLY

Nicolette

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
