"They tell me life is beautiful.
Life is beautiful.
They tell me life is beautiful.
Life is a beautiful thing...""I gave you all of my experience,
I can't predict the end result of my love.
If you're assuming there's a silky sweet ending,
I'm not exactly what it says on the tin.
I caught you looking for a list of my ingredients,
Saw you waiting for your change.
And now you're searching on my sell-by,
Checking if I'm the top of the range...""Overtaken, I left you far behind.
So mistaken, you were totally blind.
Farewell beautiful, there is something you should know:
You're face to face with the man who let me go...""You can jump up and follow me,
Like a piper of love for humanity.
And I'll show you the things that you've never seen,
We are all in and out of this world.
You can hold back, stay where you are,
Let the world go by, view from afar.
And you'll miss all the places you've never been,
We are all in and out of this world.
And we sing!""I remember the future
(I remember the future)
Keep reminding myself to keep love
'Cause love can slip away.
And it waits for no man,
And it waits for no woman,
And it craves no war, turn back the clock,
Just like we were before.
I remember the future...""Making small talk till there's nothing left to say,
Make believing that it's just another day.
My heart keeps telling me that come what may,
There's something going wrong.
People smiling in their usual vacant way,
As if implying that everything's okay.
I'll be a fool you can lead my heart astray,
There's something going wrong...""Everything... begins... and ends... at exactly the right... time...""My delicious confusion,
The solution, journey with no end in sight.
Desecrated by angels and men,
Bodies linger in the morning light.
I live in fear,
Of the things I desire.
I should surrender,
To the terrible wonderful world that lies...before me...""If this second was your life, what would you do?
If this second was your life, I would love you.
If this second was your life, would you love it?
If this second was my life, I would love it.
If this second was my life, I would love you.
If this second was my life, I would happily die...""All the unsuspecting faces gaze up to the sky,
Roll out the red carpet, open your arms wide.
Line up with your welcome smiles,
Expectations guaranteed to fail.
Safe to say they didn't come in peace, what will you do now?
The truth is slowly dawning, no more where or when or how.
Once I would have killed for this,
Now it's here, we'll die for this.
Oh why, should I laugh or cry?""In my school the freaky one,
My hands were sore, my fingers numb.
From making rhythms on my desk,
My heart was banging in my chest.
So it came to pass my beats,
Were broken by the other kids.
They make stronger, make me deeper,
So my path is getting steeper.
I love my syncopated city.
This is my fascinating rhythm.
I need my syncopated city.
I love my mindless repetition."(Big big ups to DJ Finny who first introduced me to London Elektricity. I then went out and purchased all four albums at once)
But to save you the searching, the songs are (in order):
From Billion-Dollar Gravy
The Great Drum And Bass Swindle
Main Ingredient
Born To Synthesise (One of my most favorites)
From Power Ballads
Out Of This World (Always makes me dance)
Remember The Future
I Don't Understand
Hanging Rock
From Syncopated City
This Dark Matter
Just One Second (Always makes me misty-eyed)
Outnumbered
Syncopated City Revisited
Enjoy!
Thanks! *hugs*
Apologies for the YouTube link, but it's the only place I could find the original album cut. The link under the album on Grooveshark is slightly remixed, and the link on GS under GT3 is shortened/remixed. What can I say, I'm a purist. ^_^
I fall asleep with the tv too loud,Spending time staying in with the out crowd,
Dreams come and leave me in cold sweats.
Tomorrow feels like a new day coming,
I can't see it being all for nothing,
And I know it's as good as the whole world's gonna get...
