DURAN DURAN LYRICS - Skin Trade

"Skin Trade"



Working on the weekend, baby.

She's working all through the night.

A jump into the deep end gave her

The evidence she required.

Takes five; she's got pearls.

Don't fake it when it comes to making money.

So she smiles. But that's cruel.

If you know what she thinks

If you knew what she was after.



Sometimes she wonders,

And she laughs in her frustration.



[CHORUS]

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour.

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the Skin Trade.



Doctors of the revolution gave us

The medicine we desired.

Besides being absolutely painless

It's a question of compromise.

They got steel.

So cool to get angry at the weekend

And go back to school.

So big deal; it's what rules.

When it comes to making money,

Say yes, please; thank you.



Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question.



[CHORUS (Repeated)]



I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question.



[CHORUS (Repeat for FADE)]

JANIS JOPLIN LYRICS - The Last Time

"The Last Time"



Make it the last time, make it the last time

Make it the last time, oh darling please.



But I don't understand why you always pick the time

When I've just talked to you with your love on my mind.

To see a distant light, to hear a far-off horn

To leave me one more time, I can't stand no more



Say no more, well no more,

Well no more, darling, please.



And every time you leave I make the very same vow

That when you come back I ain't gonna love you no how.

But when you return you look so fine to me

I can't stand no more, my darling, it's just got to be



I said the last time, oh the last time,

Oh the last time, darling, please.



Don't you understand me, don't you understand me?

Honey, don't you understand my word?



Well, you told me that you love me, I believed you, darling,

But you lied, you know it's true.

Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving

Then I'll cry.



Oh darling, oh darling,

Oh darling, make up your mind



Oh, I can't stand your loving, honey, it's tearing me apart,

You done got my soul, but now you're after my heart.

Well, don't hurt me, darling, now you know how to do it so well

I just got one consolation, I just wail



It was the last time

It was the last time

It was the last time, darling, please.



When you told me that you love me I believed you, darling,

But you lied, you know it's true.

Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving

Then I'll cry.



Well no more, well no more,

Well no more without you, please!



If you wanna love me, honey, please stay home,

If you don't wanna love me, baby, please stay gone.

Don't you understand me, don't you understand me?

Don't you understand my words?



Say no more, oh no more,

Well no more, oh, darling, oh!



You told me that you love me I believed you, darling,

But you lied, you know it's true.

Hold on to my heart, I'll believe it till you're leaving

Then I'll cry, yeah.

FEIST LYRICS - The Water

"The Water"



The telegraph cables hum

And few can decipher who the message is from

And it deliver it quietly

Cause some don't get much company



The harbour becomes the sea

And lighting the house keeps it collision free

Understand the lay of the land

And don't let it hurt you

Or it will be the first to



The water, the water

Didn't realize

It's dangerous size

The mountain, the mountain

Came to recognize

It's a steep and rocky sides

More than realized



Pale as a pile of bones

You hope for your babies

And this is how they grow

Wind-battered, knocked over

The teeth by the shoulder

Watching the grey sky

That's acting like a good guy



The water, the water

Came to realize

It's a dangerous size

The mountain the mountain

Came to recognize

It's steep and rocky sides

Came to recognize

It's steep and rocky sides

More than realized

ATMOSPHERE LYRICS - Painting

"Painting"



[Slug - Verse 1]

Ain't no colour paint gonna cover the stains

The pictures on the wall will all remain

And even though he's now, sound and safe

Surrounded by the faces that he place his faith

The images visit from the past he witnessed

Can't stay away from the memories

Sticks with each detail, embedded in stone

Like he chiseled stoves convictions into his bones

The progress stops and pauses, spits and sputters

Like the basement faucet

And it's obvious he's lost in his regrets

You can smell it on his breath



[Slug - Verse 2]

Ain't no colour paint gonna cover the stains

But now the alcohol is gonna mother the pain

Tuck it away, no complaints

Just laying on his back, on hisbackyard under the rain

Take tomorrow but doesn't no how though

For every swallow there's another to follow

He weaves his way throughout the story

Looking for a new missing piece or a door key

Spirits used to be for celebration

But now they just take him away from the hell that's waiting

Re-up until it's three sheets up

And pick a place for the skeletons to meet up



[Slug - Verse 3]

Ain't no colour paint gonna cover the stains

But if the oxygen escapes it'll smother the flames

No introduction doesn't speak his own name

Gonna beat them demons at they own game

The sunset rides to the end slow

Same song echoing outside of the window

You can't grow if the skin don't fit you

Sometimes you gotta get low just to get through

No inspiration left to do your best when

Nobody hates you more than you're reflection

Suffer the shame until it stuffs the drain

He's got two hands and a bucket of paint

Come on

BASEMENT JAXX LYRICS - I Want U

"I Want U"



I don't know if I can give you anything to make you feel right

I can but try 'cos I can't stand the madness in my head

The whole night through

I've been thinking, I've been sinking

Lost on Mars, got no paddle

Not a super-catch, ain't no model

Hardly seem to count, I'm just an ordinary bod

Down di di...

I want u and everything you say just makes me want

U and every single day I just want

U in every single way and I just want

U and I'm just lost

I don't know if I can give you anything to make you feel right

I can but try 'cos I can't stand the madness in my head

The whole night through

I've been thinking, I've been sinking

Lost on Mars, got no paddle

Not a super-catch, ain't no model

Hardly seem to count, I'm just an ordinary bod

Down di di...

I want u and everything you say just makes me want

U and every single day I just want

U in every single way and I just want

U and I'm just lost

COSIMA LYRICS - Painted On My Heart

"Painted On My Heart"



I thought you'd be out of my mind

And I'd finally found a way

To learn to live without you

I thought it was just a matter of time

Till I had a hundred reasons

Not to think about you, but it's just not so

After all this time I still can't let go



[Chorus:]

I've still got your face painted on my heard

Drawn upon my soul

Etched upon my memory, baby

And I've got your kiss still burning on my lips

Your touch on my fingertips

This love so deep inside of me baby



I've tried everything that I can

To get my heart to forget you

But it just can't seem to

Guess it's just no use

In every part of me there's still a part of you



[Chorus]



Something in your eyes keeps haunting me

And I try to escape you

And I know there's just no way to

No way to chase you from my mind



[Chorus]

WU-TANG CLAN LYRICS - Shaolin Worldwide

"Shaolin Worldwide"

(feat. Street Life)



"Who's the knucklehead wantin respect?" -- [Ghostface]

[sample repeats in background of Street's intro]



[Intro: Street Life, (Method Man)]



Yo, yo

Never doubt the Life

(EHHHH! YO!) Yo

Who the fuck are you to criticize me?

Yo, I slap, yo, I slap dick ta ya wifey

Yo (respect, that's my word)



[Street Life]

Another Wu tradition, Street vision, listen

All my life I've been poverty stricken

Always took what's mines, never was given

a second chance just to rap sheet a bad decision

You can't knock the hustle or the life that I'm livin

Quick to stick the clip in, blow you out position

Street juridictions, nigga, no restriction

Concrete composition for emcee's in submission

Special edition crash course mission

Push through like the task force and crush all competition

See you from a distance, dry snitchin, whisperin

Greet your man posted up like two little bitches

When you get the heart, step live or catch stitches

Or find yourself with Del, sleepin with the fishes

I got no love for fans that's fake ass niggas

I can't stand the bid when it's all in my business

Wu-Tang Forever and a day, don't get it twisted

I get lifted, I just shoot somethin from hot buscuit

These street kids, we can't lost, we terrorize you district

Leave no finger prints and no survivin witness



[Chorus: Method Man]



Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide

(Yo, yo Math!)

It's them kids from the otherside "Shaolin" Worldwide

Street Life, Homocide, nowhere to run to

Nowhere to hide, boo, we P. L.O.

Fo' sho', if it don't flow, gotta go

Fo' sho', if it don't blow, gotta go

Fo' sho', if it ain't dough, gotta go

Some didn't listen 'til my gun went BLOW!



[Inspectah Deck]

Yo, thoughts sharper than a Japanese Kitana

Ninja coma, pirahnas crack teeth on my armor

Scadalous, I ran contra-bomber, stalker like rebels of Rwanda

Death before dishonor, snake charmer, persona of one who makes drama

Godfather 4 type saga, tuckin a revolver in my Parker

Bombin unprepared for departure, might talk but strike harder

Fear the bow of the silent archer

Sure shotter, pass the rock to your starter

Poison darter, news photographers document the horror

While I bounce Shaunda with Tiwana and I from blue Honda

Honorable scholar, rockwilder, rip mic's for top dollar

Your highnes, the crowd hollar

Got your head rock, feel the brain trauma

Crowd sponser, hotter than Bahama steam saunas

The Rebel of opera, popped off the choclate and the? gosha?

Monster truck crush you imposters



[Chorus: Method Man]



Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide

It's them kids from the otherside "Shaolin" Worldwide

I. N.S., Homocide, nowhere to run to

Nowhere to hide, boo, we P. L.O.

Fo' sho', if it don't flow, gotta go

Fo' sho', if it don't blow, gotta go

Fo' sho', if it ain't dough, gotta go

Some didn't listen 'til my gun went BLOW!



[Method Man]

I'm the four mic emcee with five mic potential

Overlooked cuz y'all can't understand what I been thru

You ain't got to love me, or even pretend to

Actin like the street, they ain't got no street credentials

Crack villians, raps be killin instrumentals

The caps pealin and slap a feelin out ya dental

Underground, sound, for ghetto residentials

Up shit's creek lookin for some more shit to get into

Got the Clan jewels as I continue

to serve you everythin on that's on the menu

with Chef John Jacob, remember Sunz Of Man told you Wake Up?

My nigga smell the coffee, I'm too hardcore to kill softly

Come to free the mind and get the bullshit up off me

The Jedi, only use The Force if ya force me

Shaolin What? Don't get it fucked up and cross me

Rappers gettin stuck for actin stuck up and flossy

Say it ain't so! Bust the callico

Rap from the Island called Stat', here we go



[Chorus: Method Man]



Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide

It's them kids from the otherside "Shaolin" Worldwide

Method Man, Homocide, nowhere to run to

Nowhere to hide, boo, we P. L.O.

Fo' sho', if it don't flow, gotta go

Fo' sho', if it don't blow, gotta go

Fo' sho', if it ain't dough, gotta go

Some didn't listen 'til my gun went BLOW!



[Ghostface]

"Wantin respect--wantin respect"

"Who's the knucklehead wantin respect?"

"wantin respect--wantin respect"

"wantin respect, sharpest niggas in the..."
