Pre-Millennium Tension lyrics

[martine:]

This is a matter of utmost urgency
You might even call it a police emergency
Suckers got ill when they finally heard the G
Wasn't sellin' out, they tried to murder me
Reached for my jammy like a troop's supposed to do
Never let a sucker get too close to you
Heard 'em comin', ducked behind the wall
Then saw the whites of his eyes, the first one had to fall

[tricky:]

Choose me if...
I wish I didn't feel
I wanna do bad things and then we're one again
I wanna do bad in those movies
They say squeeze never put it
Muscles wrapped round the bullet
And you say you be brought into it
OK, let me make a phone call
I'd rather you float down the river-sea
Voodoo Heathen, fuck around with my privacy
I wish I didn't feel
I wanna do bad things

[t]=tricky's voice
[m]=martine's voice

[t]
my defences
[t+m]
become fences
[t]
i'm stumbling
[t+m]
i change my face
and if you think i'm fake-up
wait around till i'll take off my makeup
here we go again
i need another one
her name is
she looks through me
says i'm the only one

[m]
i met a christian in christiansands, and a devil in helsinki

Follow where Mary goes
Cherish the things she knows
Says if I change my stride
Then I'll fly
She makes me wanna die
Change my stride
Then I'll fly
Look to the sun
See me in psychic pollution
Walking on the moon
How could you dare?
Who do you think you are?
You're insignificant
A small piece, an ism
No more no less
You try to learn the universe
Can't even converse in universe

Piano

to the noose
to the neck
to the boost
to the check
to the micic
to the psychic
to the circuit
to the games pays to blame
to the freedom
make it rain
make it sane
make it dance
not a chance
see her run
see her come
take me cunning
she's dark-eyed
never saw, never saw

she's lifelike
to the heartbeat
can't feel the heartbeat
to the flowers
to the bunches

Trik Turner “Friends and Family”

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Some call me a loser,
Some call me a cheater,
Some say I’m a selfish
Untalented dreamer
Cause all I try to do
Is keep my dreams alive
Is that so hard to do?

When you’re workin’ nine to five,
I’ve never been born afraid to die,
But I’m afraid to leave behind

Tricky:one-two one-two
huh, one-two one-two one-two
d:mikecheck
Tricky:that won't front
braggin' on the stunts
coke in ya nose
d:coke in ya nose
Tricky:knock out ya gold fronts

that won't front
braggin' on your stunts
coke in ya nose
knock out ya gold fronts (with d)
Here comes the Nazarene
look good in that magazine
Haile Selassie
they look after i
god will recieve us

Alright, alright
Why the fuck do they keep making those guns ?
Chew compassion save some sons
Why'd you keep buying their guns
Foolish, life's too short for stray bullets
Why'd you keep buying their guns
Foolish
Corporate companies love when them kill themselves
It boost up the record sales
Why'd you keep making your guns ?
Alright
Chew compassion save some sons

"Well I see it so much..."
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you,
maybe that's strong enough to make you
12 12 catch up
Before you test, know what's going on,
I've been around for long, my evil is strong
I lie awake and hate you,
Maybe that's strong enough to make something happen-

I waited ahh
This is a warning, you'd better void,
Poets are paranoid, DJ's destroyed,
'Cause I came back to attack religious spite
Strike like lightnin', It's quite frightenin'
But don't be afraid in the dark, in a park,
Not a scream or a cry, or a bark, more like a spark;
Temper like an alcoholic, muscles tighten up,
What's that lighten up, you see a cipher,

(vocals by Sky)

Me's a ghetto youth

And you done know the man have youth and youth
