Daydreaming Lyrics
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Massive attack we keep it strong just like a vitamin
Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs
'Cause brother it's relative
The ??? is pickup all the lyrics on the dancefloor
To raise your spirit level 'cause it demands more
Up against the wall behaving like De Niro
Tricky's performing taking his photo
Make him stand with a tan touch it like cocoa
Smooth keep it moving at the back now
Free as the needle that's moving through the track now
Dance around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we drop
The paper which you use my toungue to lick with
Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn
But I just take it easy it's a sunday morning
Together we'll grow forever watch my ak rig go
My ak rig goes boom
Cause you never know it's like we don't give a damn and uh
And it's ??? to keep your distance
Resist and the posse gets the pressure of this dance
The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street
It's the devious days they call the rat race
It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town
Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
But we're happy when the bomb drops
Down
'Cause the dancefloor's a desert
And the dancers are parched
Do a rain dance and you brace through a marsh
My heavy my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones soul is what I say to 'em
The surreal boom of the budokan stadium
I quietly observe standing in my space
Can't be with the one i love i love the one that i miss
I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor
Don't need another lover just need, i'm insecure
The love that you make is equal to the love you're makin
Here comes the sun little darlin here comes the sun
It's alright
Naggy this maggy that maggy means inflation
Hip-hop you don't stop cause i'm not sloppy
I like the beat so we need another copy
Getting peaceful in the desert that the glory and the crowd
The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
I love my neighbor and I ??? the olympics
See you a hooligan you try to play the fool again
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Well i'm floating on air when i'm daydreaming
I like how they borrow lines from some of their other songs and do little variations on 'em....like 'can't be with the one you love, so love the one you're with' from Blue Lines, or 'I quietly observe this is not my space' from Five Man Army. And they also borrow lines from Fiddler on the Roof and the Beatles' Abbey Road...too good!
massive attack truly know how to tease the senses & entrance with their music. it's sends me to another world and this song is a prime example. delightfully disturbing in its eeriness. i love triphop.
"The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks; I love my neighbor, I don't wait for the Olympics."
More commentary made by Trick and his crew on the ailments in society.
Me and my friend have smoked so much pot to this song its ridiculous. This or Blue's Line is always the first song played.
My all time favorite Massive Attack song.
^^I agree w/ how amazing it is that MA can incorporate other lyrics into this song. My favorite track off Blue Lines.
I always thought it was funny that 3D sings "No drugs or pharmaceuticals" in this song because Massive Attack strikes me as being the kind of band that's pretty much fucked up all the time. Then I realized he's singing "No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable" which is much funnier, even.
Weebles are toy figures shaped like eggs, that are weighted so that they "wobble but don't fall down". Massive attack must be talking about the 1970s UK ones that are slightly different ones in the US. I just read about Weebles- how sad am I!
