None of us are getting out of this life alive

Call My Phone Thinking I’m Doing Nothing Better

[Intro: The Streets]
Call and call my phone, thinking I’m doing nothing better
I’m just waiting for it to stop so I can use it again

[Chorus: Tame Impala]
I was gonna call you back, I swear
Just as soon as I felt up to it

[Verse 1: The Streets]
You call and call my phone, thinking I’m doing nothing better
I’m just waiting for it to stop so I can get back to it
How funny family is actually fuckin’ has you in bits
Your mum has good genes, but Dad’s are ripped

[Pre-Chorus: The Streets]
Dance like no one is awkward to music listened to lit
You’d worry less about what they thought
If you knew how little they did
On to better things, they fucking love all of the guessing
Someone just met your ex, thinking they met someone special

[Chorus: Tame Impala]
I was gonna call you back, I swear
Just as soon as I felt up to it

[Verse 2: The Streets]
The phone is ringing, the phone is ringing
Can’t use it ’til it stops
I moan and listen, the tone emits
The only man in black, hi-viz jackets in the cab
Brexit breakfast, Day-Glo stars, I am baggin’ and dashin’
Whoever’s with my ex needs to do better
She’s still texting me at two ’til ten
Weird liquor tastes weirdly better when your life is fucked up
[Chorus: Tame Impala]
I was gonna call you back, I swear
Just as soon as I felt up to it

[Verse 3: The Streets]
You call and call my phone, thinking I’m doing nothing better
I’m just waiting for it to stop so I can use it again
Love isn’t a riddle, love isn’t made to be hard
You know I’d give you my kidney, just don’t ever take my charger

[Pre-Chorus: The Streets]
So dance like no one is awkward to music listened to lit
You’d worry less about what they thought
If you knew how little they did
You call and call my phone thinking I’m doing nothing better
I’m just waiting for it to stop so I can use it again

[Chorus: Tame Impala]
I was gonna call you back, I swear
Just as soon as I felt up to it
It just hasn’t happened yet
And I’m still gonna call you back one day
And you can tell me all the news
That you’ve been trying to, oh yeah

[Outro: The Streets & Tame Impala]
You call and call my phone, thinking I’m doing nothing better
I’m just waiting for it to stop so I can use it again
You call and call my phone (I was gonna call you back)
Thinking I’m doing nothing better (I swear)
I’m just waiting for it to stop so I can use it again

None of us are getting out of this life alive

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
I don’t like my country, it’s more of an addiction
The way girls fixate and pore over lip gloss
I’m hard to love, I make idiot jokes
But those the hardest to love are those that need it the most
Some people drink to be interesting
Some people drink to be interested
The boss comes, fuck delays
Lust rushes, love waits
Fuck the crushes at rush hour
Luck in love is like government power
Just fuckin’ bust case

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive

[Verse 2: Joe Talbot]
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
That’s why I don’t go gentle into that good night
That’s why I’m shining brighter than the brightest light
I twinkle like my blade in the belly of the right
‘Cause dullards don’t shine for shit, they just talk shite
Shoulda, woulda, coulda does not build prophecies of height
So I’ll be mouth and eyes for the sore foresight
Never act like an Audi driver
Never mix with the drink spikers
Never seen with the seat pissers
Never ever been a game misser
‘Cause missin’ a game’ll keep me up all night
‘Cause none of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive

[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
When I was a young boy, I painted my room black
When I was a young boy, I rated the boom bap
Cut to aerial footage of a scary estate
Keep going and prove them right, send for everyone in the night
Returning to home, still yearning to leave
Turn in the sun in worsening seas
Determined to put my searching at ease
Circling seagulls determined to eat
Into the smoke of the blue-green and chalk
Sinking and glowing and dipping, we talk
Until the cliffs become big on our port side
Closer and taller, it makes me feel short
Calling me back at the start of the year
All I ask is a star to steer

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Full fathom five, my father lies
None of us are getting out of this life alive

I wish you loved you as much as you love him

I Wish You Loved You As Much As You Love Him

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
So kiss his picture and chuck it in the bin
You been on the road of excess for what seems like forever
The palace of wisdom, are we nearly there yet?
Are you with the flame that you had hoped?
Or are you just afraid to be alone?
I know he says he’ll change, but maybe you should know
That people never change, they’re just exposed

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love—

[Verse 2: Greentea Peng]
Searching for ourselves in one another
You all got all the power you need
Don’t place them in no lover
I feel your search for balance
And there’s comfort in your comma challenge
Can’t be alone, on cellphone
This lonely life is savage
But please put down that baggage
https://f7a004ea99d9abca3ebe9d104eb2603a.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html%5BChorus: Mike Skinner]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him

[Verse 3: Donae’O]
I wish you loved you and gave yourself loving
‘Cause loving yourself is true wealth, honey
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
You love this guy like there’s two of him
To live like that is no life
If you walked away from him, then you would win
And that’s no capping
But, baby, you like to be disrespected often
Bitch, you have different options
Bitches like you like living large
Aw, behave
Said you like games, babe
Drama is your safe place
I’m just saying

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him

[Bridge: Greentea Peng]
All the same
At the end of the day
It ain’t a fair exchange
He always says he’ll change
Can’t you see it’s no use?
You gotta cut off all these things that are not serving you
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I wish you loved you as much as you love him
I wish you loved you as much as you love him

[Outro: Greentea Peng]
You wish you could ignore the way it feels
Something in your head says he ain’t real
But you shot me down
You say it ain’t a big deal ’cause he’s gonna change
But see, it’s all the same
At the end of the day
It ain’t a fair exchange
He always says he’ll change
Can’t you see it’s no use?
You gotta cut off all these things that are not serving you

You can’t afford me

[Chorus: Wayne Bennett]
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
None of us are getting out of this life alive
Stumble through as best through the strife you strive
I talk around my bets ’til the sky is pink
But she talks about her ex so much, even I miss him
No joke to me, you have to keep winning
I know you’re so broke, you’re having sleep for dinner
What emerges from night, at the foot of the curtain is light
The morning is tryin’ to get in as you put the world to rights
Love fakes you out, when you want it, it leaves
Love is great, don’t you ever wanna sneeze?

[Chorus: Wayne Bennett]
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me

[Verse 2: Ms Banks]
Yo, see, if you don’t know your worth
You’re gonna settle for less
I need honesty, best policy
And that minimum respect
I don’t want no stress
I don’t need me a pest
And if you lay down with dogs, babe
Then you’re gonna need a vet
See, they come around with their chest high
And they got nothing to offer
Like, why you so on me, mate?
Why even bother?
See you wanna fuck, try to push your luck
Now take me down and you’re lookin’ stuck
You’re still at your mum’s and a total bum
But you want the cookie, you can’t get a crumb
Nah, I ain’t gonna ‘low you, mate
Not even a little
I’m from M&S, babes
You got a better chance at Lidl’s, ah
https://3a75dffdcdae16202893b6e26d488fa4.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-37/html/container.html%5BChorus: Wayne Bennett]
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me

[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
You make problems with people so you can push them away
So they can’t leave you before you leave they
Leather jacket summer, brace the sweat and chase something
In this weather, only the ugly wear a face of make-up
Again, I tell you I don’t party, hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard
Put the work in the club from eleven ’til two
But you are still a virgin ’cause you never lose
I tell him you go the way you look
So when you’re down, see what’s up
But if you’re feeling down, I can always feel you up
Born in Barnet at the age of zero
Did my learning in Birmingham
Again, I tell you I don’t party, hardly
But when I do, yes, I party hard

[Chorus: Wayne Bennett]
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me
If you don’t know how much I am worth
Then you can’t afford me

I Know Something You Did

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I know something you did, but I can’t say owt
Because of, let’s say, how I found out

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Taste the frickin’ lesson like the apple from the doctor
It’s all wasted into them but they take the Michael, ooh
Some people’s only taste of actual success
Is when they take a bite from you
You hold onto feelings and don’t let them go
It’ll do you no favours, it’s doing you wrong
Why are you obsessed with the debt that I owe you?
I’ve owed you for ages, move on

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
I know something you did, but I can’t say owt
Because of, let’s say, how I found out

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
Your optimism half-full, your pessimism half-empty
But I wonder why the glass is bigger than it was meant to be
Pacing in the living room, maybe caused by cunch
Wake in the middle of the evening, face falling in my lunch
(And now I have)
Laptop running YouTube over
(Got something you did)
We used to go there, but do witho now
At the little screen on a shitty bed
(That you won’t)
Now you pity me, or you dream instead
(Ever admit)
[Chorus: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
(My fingertips)
I know something you did, but I can’t say owt
(Help turn my hips)
Because of, let’s say, how I found out
(No time, no time for this)

[Verse 3: Jesse James Solomon]
I know something you did
But I can’t say shit
‘Cause you’ll trace it and start tripping over your laces
Through the grapevine, I made this
Red wine for your tastin’
I thought I knew what your taste was, but you’re tasteless
As the flame dimmed and the moon shined on the paintin’
You was waitin’, up late for a Pagan
Brazin’, it’s brazy, I’m not shaken
Head achin’, I’m just tired
I’ll play you like the PlayStation
But when you play me, it ain’t nice
I just bake off, I ain’t say shit
‘Cause if I said shit, then it’s

[Chorus: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
I know something you did, but I can’t say owt
Because of, let’s say, how I found out
(I don’t wanna play that game
I don’t wanna play that shitty game
)

[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
Lock the back door, fuck is that for? The sun is not gone
Kickin’ shoes off up the stairs, it’s awkward so you forced to stare
Tights off in a game of two, cock the hammer
Feels somethin’ like a board game, socks and ladders
Woke up when the night was leavin’ the mornin’, lyin’ on my bed
Like a drawin’ of a spiral staircase
That falls and falls and finds no end
Spoken lightly, so you might not hear me
I woke up when the night was leaving

[Chorus: Mike Skinner & ELIZA]
(And now I have)
I know something you did, but I can’t say owt
(Got something you did)
Because of, let’s say, how I found out
(That you won’t ever admit)
(My fingertips)
I know something you did, but I can’t say owt
(Help turn my hips)
Because of, let’s say, how I found out
(No time)

Eskimo Ice

[Chorus: [?]]
Let the phone die, memories slide
Eskimo ice, Hennessy eye
Festival high, best friend’s wife
Memories slide, best things in life
Let the phone die, memories slide
Eskimo ice, Eskimo ice
Let the phone die, memories slide
Memories slide, best things in life

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner & Kasien]
Stumble in the jungle, rumble into the motif
Clothes bashy and taught, with no rational thought
Do it for the shouts, do not ever doubt
Either you are on the grout, or you do it for the clout (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Kasien]
Just came up and got flagrant (Uh)
Left my girl, back to basics (Uh)
Tie these girls with no laces (Yeah, yeah)
Plastic cups with no chasers (Yeah)
Lookin’ for love in wrong places (Yeah)
Faced it, just got up and said, “Laters” (Wow)
I don’t give up ’cause I’m patient (No)
You can stay up, fuck the neighbours, wait ’cause (Woah)
All the girls standing in the line for the toilet (Woah)
See if she can sniff between the lines of a [?] (Woah)


[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
You’re all wankers and cunts
Jimmy Cooper in Quadrophenia is the movement you want in here
You know I repped the pedal ’round the front garden
Oi, bell the hooter and pissed apart
(Tell the gooch that I’m not a part of that)
Man, God has it backward, God has seen it all
But if God had’ve dropped acid, would God see people?
It’s all fun ’til it’s two, one by two ’til it gets loose
What should we all do? I’m the shub Scooby-Doo

[Verse 4: Kasien]
Avoid the Jake ’cause we’re peakin’ (Uh)
Up for days, we ain’t sleepin’ (Uh)
I’m in a daze, this ain’t creasin, uh
Free my mind, cut the demons, uh
Do it all again next weekend (Uh)
Do it all again next weekend (Uh)
I feel the bass line breathin’ (Uh)
Feel my heart rate is seethin’ (Yeah)
[?] max all [?] (Yeah), in the wave so deep (Yeah)
Your energy I wanna keep (Yeah), yeah, I know you wanna

[Chorus: [?]]
Let the phone die, memories slide
Eskimo ice, Hennessy eye
Festival high, best friend’s wife
Memories slide, best things in life
[Verse 5: Mike Skinner]
Just came up and got flavours
(Smoked bacon and quavers)
In that joke’s where you say things
It’s a pokie rate that we’re raving
The way it go to Giano
Gonna save loads on Cinzano
‘Cause you may go through a half-hour
With the way it wants to go harder
Bitch is okay, some people come for the scene
Rich is okay, I just leave them on ‘seen’
I am the wave god, come on, G, check me
Real G’s sing real songs, re-raised our bet
Drink like it’s Galway, ride the bike in the hall, G
Think about your content, find the life of your stories
It’s the wrong time for napping, songs about trapping
Songs go onto garage, it’s long to go garage

[Chorus: [?]]
Let the phone die, memories slide
Eskimo ice, Hennessy eye
Festival high, best friend’s wife
Memories slide, best things in life
Let the phone die, memories slide
Eskimo ice, Eskimo ice

[Outro: Mike Skinner]
Let the phone die, Hennessy eye
Eskimo ice, best things in life

Phone Is Always in My Hand

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Few of us are up for livin’ in the next World War
So do not disturb a woman that you are not ready for
Cheat on her into the smoke
Leavin’ the club while it’s sunny
If you’re treatin’ her like it’s a joke
She’ll leave you like it’s funny
I’ll always give you advice when you need it
And sometimes when you don’t
Swim in ice waters when the convo gets close
If I say I’m five minutes away and you believe me
That’s your problem
I only want one thing from her, personality
Which is good because she certainly has three
He who angers you conquers
This ain’t playtime, this ain’t conkers
This could get dizzy, pre-Bonkers
Grime kids mosh now, they don’t conga

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am
[Verse 2: Dapz on the Map]
Yo, I said I had my phone on ‘Do Not Disturb’
Just saw your calls and read your texts
When I shout her back, she’s shoutin’ back
Then I pressed decline, she can’t accept that
My phone is always in my hand
Then, out of the blue, start seeing red things
I’m out of whatever it gets out of hand
‘Cause she can’t take the disrespect to ignore, man
But I’m not ignorant, I’m too busy indulgin’ the Internet
I’m online but I pree her offline
Quick to respond but slow to reply
Don’t know why you unlocked my phone
Fill up my phone back in the blink of an eye
My ‘Screen Time’ hours on my iPhone X is high
I’m on ten per cent, but might let it die (Oh my)
Woah, FaceTime missed calls from the gang
But they don’t watch face ’cause they know how I stay
Try called twice, get no answer and call it a day, come on

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am
[Verse 3: Mike Skinner]
I draw my finger down the skin of my cheek
Like the tear that runs down in your fucking dreams
We have no time to lose, this heavy in our stomach
Time is an illusion, especially at lunch
Everyone’s around when times are amazing
But do they wait with you when you’re tying your laces?
You’re ignoring me
But you’re watching my stories
I’ll this say again, and I’ll say this to another
It ain’t underhanded and it ain’t unloving
But don’t try to understand ladies, brother
Ladies understand ladies and they hate each other

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am
My phone is always in my hand
If you think I’m ignoring you, I am

The Poison I Take Hoping You Will Suffer

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
There’s several ways that this is gonna go bad
The devil says he misses me and wants me back
Me and you are like a box set
That I wish I forgot and watched again
Like waiting for ice to be water
So stressed about getting my life in order
Don’t get my life in order
I am not that guy to give you what you want and forfeit myself
Because every girl has a dude in her inbox talking to himself

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer

[Post-Chorus: Oscar #worldpeace]
Pick your poison (Uh)
Is it money or the moment? (Uh)
Are we running out of choices? (Uh)
When you’re down, who you phoning? (Uh)
Still stay fully focussed (Uh)
Still in love with your progress (Uh)
Pick your poison (Uh)
If it’s you, then I’m all in

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
The smell of leather on the sofa
Flat screen pukes up channel spew
That weather where I wear a coat in the morning
I regret in the afternoon
Plans always become dead
I told you I’d come along for the jokes
But that was two hours ago, I was younger back then
I was full of hope
[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer

[Post-Chorus: Oscar #worldpeace]
Pick your poison (Uh)
Is it money or the moment? (Uh)
Are we running out of choices? (Uh)
When you’re down, who you phoning? (Uh)
Still stay fully focussed (Uh)
Still in love with your progress (Uh)
Pick your poison (Uh)
If it’s you, then I’m all in

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer

[Verse 2: Oscar #worldpeace]
Energies get lost, can you see them?
Come see me in the evening and let me know if you’ve eaten
You think I’m late night creeping
Black men don’t cheat, I ain’t cheatin’
I’ve been on the road tryin’ to get it in
Tryin’ to go where I’ve never been
Tryin’ to give you all this melanin
Mmm, hit my phone when it’s relevant
I be at home when you’re gettin’ in
In the room, what’s the elephant?
When I’m low, you’re the medicine
So when you out, where you been then?
Mmm, deep waters, I’m in them
You’re going out? Then I’m in then
Who’s that? Never seen them
I was bad, never sinned dem
Never needed no opinions
Mmm, and I pray we never fall off
Got a son, want a daughter
When you’re ready, we can go halves
Got the bag and it’s all ours
When you’re ready, we can go large

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer
(Resentment) The poison I take hoping you will suffer

[Post-Chorus: Oscar #worldpeace]
Pick your poison (Uh)
Is it money or the moment? (Uh)
Are we running out of choices? (Uh)
When you’re down, who you phoning? (Uh)
Still stay fully focussed (Uh)
Still in love with your progress (Uh)
Pick your poison (Uh)
If it’s you, then I’m all in

Same Direction

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]
See me, I like to go my own way
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
If she can’t move on, that’s her problem, I’m good, that’s her delay
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
Like owls in the night, we’re up so late
Sympathy fiddle plays for a love that’s wasted
Now is the time for a good idea
In the middle of the night when no one’s up to take it
Two-eighty-one’s getting done, damaged
Soleil was her name, like the sun in Paris
The air was silent, the only thing about her that was
From sundown ’til lunch
I wink, I was joking, if she snubs me
I’ll take it slowly, she wears it, hell
She’s lit up, smokin’ in the club
But she drives too fast to care about her health
She only listens to crud or house
I’m only ever in the club or house
Cigarettes she gave up just for loud
I only ever wanna make

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]
See me, I like to go my own way
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
If she can’t move on, that’s her problem, I’m good, that’s her delay
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
You lean in to the car window
Tell me the stars are getting off
The sky moves back like tinted windows
Revealing tomorrow like a deathly cough
I tell no lies, it’s easy to remember
Pocket the keys from in my lap
One too many blue lights flick on the dash
Glow from the electronic highs
Smoke floats out and disappears
You jump in the driving seat, make for the stick
No joke now, we are onto our fears
Bump up the song, hit the mirror on the door
Wait for her key to be fatally flawed

[Chorus: Jimothy Lacoste & Mike Skinner]
See me, I like to go my own way
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
If she can’t move on, that’s her problem, I’m good, that’s her delay
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Verse 3: Jimothy Lacoste]
But we’re now walking the same direction
So God, please leave me
Please leave me, please leave me
Leave me, leave me
Please leave me, yeah, please move on
Please leave me and carry on
Please leave me and don’t be weird
Please leave me, you just flopped
Please leave me, you’re now dropped
Please leave me, I need time
Please leave me, you’re in slime
Please leave me with my music
[Refrain: Mike Skinner]
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction
We both say goodbye but then walk in the same direction

[Outro: Mike Skinner]
I never rate any gathering ’til the people have all settled
To talk on the weather in the wet is a downer on the day
We could debate this all afternoon and we would still not settle it
But that is much better than us settling it without debating at all

Falling Down

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
You can’t fake the fizzle
Be it is in your skin
Three Rizla sheets to the wind
When you fail, they rejoice
When you fail, they rejoice
Falling down is an accident
Staying down is a choice

[Verse 1: Hak Baker]
Took a little trip, slip, miss
Geezer, this is it, misfits
See all their lip, check this
Geezer, please miss me with all of it
Tequila at the bar last night
The reason why I look like flippin’ shit
Reason why I’m questioning all of it
‘Cause, cor blimey, she was fit
Took a little trip last year
What a brittle trip, rasp gear
Met about a baker’s dozen
Of cynical little pricks
Geezer, this is me, mate and what you see, mate
Is what you get, yep, no fantasy
I got my East End gang with me
A bunch of cunts in all honesty
The Monday will be solemn
Could do with a little trip to Holland or Tulum
But see, me cash flow’s a travesty
The reason why I’m nickin’ these bag of peas
Oi, oi, oi

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
You can’t fake the fizzle
Be it is in your skin
Three Rizla sheets to the wind
When you fail, they rejoice
When you fail, they rejoice
Falling down is an accident
Staying down is a choice

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
She walked with me to the place
But she won’t let me try and act up
She talked shit to my face
But compliments me behind my back
Text messaging like I
Shoot from the hip in a Western movie
Everyone who comes into your life
Is a blessing or a schooling
Fall in love with the girl who makes you love the guy that

[Bridge: Mike Skinner]
Under a little blem of weed
Just learning the ropes of it
Come to see the film, please
But don’t turn off your phone, innit?
When you fail, they rejoice
When you fail, they rejoice
Falling down is an accident
Staying down is a choice
[Verse 3: Hak Baker]
Yo, when we all fall, we’ll be dead
Brown bread discomposed in the depths
Yo, falling down is an accident
But see, staying down is for plebs
Come on

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
You can’t fake the fizzle
Be it is in your skin
Three Rizla sheets to the wind
When you fail, they rejoice
When you fail, they rejoice
Falling down is an accident
Staying down is a choice

Conspiracy Theory Freestyle

[Intro: Rob Harvey]
Reachin’ up to the blackest lights
I hope and pray that it will carry me–

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
You know the truth like your phone knows the time
You set it and forget, but you forget to know why
All of history is a set of frickin’ lies
Agreed on by men and their decision-making wives
We pace and blame each other, fears raced to be saved by mother
I could take or leave this fun, no time to be taken, make for it, run
Woke up when the night was leavin’ the morning, lying on my bed
The illusion of a spiral staircase falling by into no end

[Chorus: Rob Harvey]
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner & Rob Harvey]
You know the truth like your phone knows the time
You set it and forget, but you forget to know why
Tryin’ to get you an adventure, so don’t go along with fear
(Reachin’ up to the blackest lights)
If you’re tryin’ to get to heaven, I would not go from here
The more I do it, the more I’m mute
(I hope and pray that it will carry me away)
Never judge, it’s always thankless
But if a girl ever calls you cute
Then you have to call her handsome
While we eat and compare stories
We sail away on thoughts
Like when you fell asleep on your parent’s bed
And would wake up in yours
Friday, coffee’s a grown-up drink
Go for broke when blokes show up
Saturday, beer’s a grown-up drink
But on Sunday, water’s the most grown-up
The world is round to stop you seeing too far down the road
Unless, of course, the world is credibly flat
(I sit and pray that it will carry me–)
But if you want you a conspiracy
There’s an edible for that
[Chorus: Rob Harvey]
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change
(Where now do we go from here?)
We’re not gonna live this way, we’ve got to stand up and change

Take Me As I Am

[Verse 1: Mike Skinner]
A vision that hurts and a skirt that’s clinging
Suspicion fought with thirst, but the thirst was winning
I’ll regret this in the morning, shots of the rye
But that’s future me, I’m glad I’m not that guy
With your hand above the fold, you’re a scandal in the press
There’s powers in your flowers, you’re a damsel in distress

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Take me as I am (Ay)
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Verse 2: Mike Skinner]
Melodies of love, all selling the dream
Everyone in the club is smelling their keys
Men are weird at the close of the PM
Just ask a pretty girl to show you her DMs
Thirsty at the bar, blurry to the brink
Ghost me at the bar, you’ll be thirsty with a drink
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Instrumental Break]

You’re messing with my mind, and my feelings in your eyes
It’s a blessing in disguise, but it’s really well disguised
Regret this in the morning, shots of the rye
But that’s future me, I’m glad I’m not that guy (Run the flow)

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
Take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am (Ay)
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Verse 4: Mike Skinner]
A vision that hurts and a skirt that’s clinging
Suspicion fought with thirst, but the thirst was winning
I’ll regret this in the morning, shots of the rye
But that’s future me, I’m glad I’m not that guy
With your hand above the fold, you’re a scandal in the press
There’s powers in your flowers, you’re a damsel in distress
Take me as I am
Or watch me as I go (Run the flow)
[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Mike Skinner]
(Run the flow) Take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am (Ay)
Or watch me as I go
She said, take me as I am
Or watch me as I go

[Outro]
Y’all
Yo, Selecta, turn up the music, please
Turn up the music, Selecta
Security, up here, right now
Security, up here
Turn on the [?] light so we can see what’s happened
Security, up here, right now
