Les paroles

1. THE PADDINGTON FRISK

To be strung up on a leafless tree,
Where everything dies and nothing grows
Hanging like moulding fruit
One last dance whilst you decompose

On come the paddington spectacles
A black plague over all I admired
A vegetable breakfast, a hearty choke
Seems like the whole world conspired

But there stood a man
He was cut up, distraught and cold
But amongst the wreckage of his ribcage
His heart still thudded as he said

I regard myself as a soldier
Though a soldier of peace
I know the value of discipline and truth
I must ask you to believe me when I say…

No matter if it all backfires kid
No matter if it all goes wrong
We just gotta get ourselves together
We've sat still for far too long
Now this ain't over yet
As far as I can see…
We've only just begun


2. RADIATE

To take away our expression
Is to impoverish our existence

Oi!
Yeah, kick it.
Yeah.

It's insatiable;
What we're waiting for

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write for a better day

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write...

It will flourish, it will thrive
It will nourish;
A spring cleaning of the mind
It will flourish, it will thrive

To take away our expression
Is to impoverise our existence

They silence and censor
Our right to create
In cells we choke,
Without what is innate

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to stop us from fading away
We'll write for a better day

This vomiting of anguish and eruption of the soul
To radiate energy to comfort and console
To scatter our thoughts, to splatter our spirit
A blizzard of fire with all we transmit

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to stop us from fading away
We'll write for a better day

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to stop us from fading away
We'll write for a better...

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write for a better day

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write...

It's insatiable;
What we're waiting for
(x4)

It will flourish, it will thrive
It will nourish;
A spring cleaning of the mind
It will flourish, it will thrive
Yeah!

It's insatiable;
What we're waiting for
(Woah-oh)
(x2)

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to keep us from fading away
We'll write for a better day

So to keep us from falling apart
We'll write songs in the dark
And to stop us from fading away
We'll write for a better day


3. RAT RACE

My heart beats in my head and it's thunderous
Those caught in the rat race plunder us
They know what's best for us
They know what's best for us

Gotta keep up, gotta get ahead
Gotta go and get a job and work 'til I'm dead
They know what's best for us
They know what's best for us

And I'm thinking that they must have missed the point
Hold on, we just hold on for an exit
And I'm thinking that they must have missed the point
Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

Out to defeat, out to defeat everyone
Out to deceive, out to deceive anyone
They know what's best for us
They know what's best for us

Who holds the master key givin' to authority (WHAT?)
I don't know, it's a foul monstrosity
They know what's best for us
They know what's best for us

And I'm thinking that they must have missed the point
Hold on, we just hold on for an exit
And I'm thinking that they must have missed the point
Hold on, we just hold on for an exit

You see the purpose of the rat race defeats me
When we're gone what's left behind?
But there seems to be no end or reason
Yet we still carry on

You see the purpose of the rat race defeats me
When we're gone what's left behind?
But there seems to be no END

When you finally reach the front of the pack
There's nothing there, just and endless barren track
It goes on and on
It goes on and on

You know what?
Let's get disqualified!
Let's get disqualified!
And I'm thinking that they must have missed the point
Hold on, we just hold on for an exit
And I'm thinking that they must have missed the point
Hold on, we just hold on for an exit


4. REDSHIFT

We drift apart, we drift apart
We drift apart, we drift apart

If there's one reason to smile
It's when you look up out at night
You're fortunate enough
To drink in a vista
A 100 billion flares
Display a glowing history
Splayed out across a canvas, the night sky
But, for a moment just contemplate
When looking up, you only saw a blank slate
And, for a moment just contemplate
It appears that heavens been abandoned

We accelerate
Through the extent of outer space
We accelerate
We separate, we fragment
We accelerate
Through the extent of outer space
We accelerate
It appears that heavens been abandoned

I climbed down from the wall
Where i sit and search for a source sublime
Other than our dear sun, the lone star, oh
But, for a moment just contemplate
When looking up, you only saw a blank slate
And, for a moment just contemplate
It appears that heavens been abandoned

Just contemplate
What if the heavens were abandoned?

We accelerate
Through the extent of outer space
We accelerate
We separate, we fragment
We accelerate
Through the extent of outer space
We accelerate
It appears that heavens been abandoned

Your skin and bones
Heart and mind
Are made from the remnants of... stars
That died
And can you feel it inside?
Can you feel it inside?
Can you feel it inside?

A supergiant erupts, into a supernova
The ultimate sacrifice
And we are the descendants!
A supergiant erupts, into a supernova
The ultimate sacrifice
And we are the descendants!

We drift apart, we drift apart
We drift apart, we drift apart


5. HOODWINKER

This is the voice of God
You've got it, you've got it
Stay in and lock your doors

I don't care what you've achieved
There's only one location if you don't follow me
(You always get what you wanted)
You're gonna burn in a blistering furnace
From now until forever, no matter how it ends
(You always get what you wanted)

Halt, freeze
Who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Stop, wait
This ain't right
This is fraudulent, this is counterfeit
You are a hoodwinker, sir

This is the voice of God
The shrink-wrapper of minds
Stay in, lock your doors

Halt, freeze
Who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?

Halt, freeze
Who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Stop, wait
This ain't right
This is fraudulent, this is counterfeit
You are a hoodwinker, sir

I don't care if you're devout
To the three thousand
Other gods
In every age the priest has been hostile to liberty
Burning books
It's mental captivity

It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
(You always get what you wanted)
For your soul

It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
It's a swindle for your soul
(You always get what you wanted)
For your soul

Halt, freeze
Who goes there?
Do you have the right, do you have the right documentation?
Stop, wait
This ain't right
This is fraudulent, this is counterfeit
You are a hoodwinker, sir

You are a hoodwinker, sir
What do you take me for, a fool?
Cheeky fucker


6. SUPERCHARGE

You could live slow, die old, like a sub-sea floor microbe
Set foot sharpish
That's one small step for man, that's one quantum leap
For mankind, now we redefine, we unify
We electrocute, we don't follow suit

We're gonna supercharge
It's gotta be one small step for man but man don't wanna step foot
Yeah, we're gonna supercharge
It's gotta be one small step for man but man don't wanna step foot

Don't wanna step foot 'round here (don't wanna step foot)
It's only blood, sweat and fears
I'm gonna set dynamite (don't wanna step foot)
So we can supercharge the night

[Big Narstie:]
Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind
What's in the dark blud comes to the light
Shepherd should never lead the sheep
Blud it's peak BDL gave you the signs
How can you separate the cunt from the body?
You can't, you gotta separate the cunt from the mind
Unity is power and in this dark hour
Progression is gonna take time
I'm a superstar, ambition like a V6 engine
I am supercharged, ladies on my lot call me the viagra boy
Baby girl cause I am always hard, so Enter the Shikari
Tun Tun warrior, dog
Hunt or be hunted
BDL gang, or BD my G we keep it one hundred

Don't wanna step foot 'round here (don't wanna step foot)
It's only blood, sweat and fears
I'm gonna set dynamite (don't wanna step foot)
So we can supercharge the night

We electrocute, we don't follow suit
We're gonna supercharge

Forward, evolve
There's a future to unfold
Focus, heads up
They're gonna sabotage the plan now we're in too deep
But mankind will redefine, we unify
It's one small step for man but man don't wanna step foot

Don't wanna step foot 'round here (don't wanna step foot)
It's only blood, sweat and fears
I'm gonna set dynamite (don't wanna step foot)
So we can supercharge the night
