Blue Lines Lyrics - Massive Attack

1 Can't be with the one you love, then love the one you're with

2 Spliff in the ashtray, Red Stripe, I pull the lid

3 Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle

4 But I didn't hear her words 'cause I slide the instrumental

5 Keep the girl in the distance, moves are very hazy

6 No sunshine in my life, the way I deal is shady

7 Skip hip data to get the anti-matter

8 Blue lines are the reason why the tower had to shatter

9 To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass

10 Her face is on the paper not the strangers that I pass

11 The ones that looking back to see if they are looking back at me

12 Are you predator or do you fear me?

13 Yeah, while I'm doing this I know

14 The place I really wanna go

15 Is the one I love but never gets near me

16 It's a beautiful day, well it seems as such

17 Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much

18 Even if I told you, you still would not know me

19 Tricky never does, Adrian mostly gets lonely

20 How we live in this existence, just being,

21 English upbringing, background Caribbean

22 It's the ?we rebility?, sharing a soliloquy

23 We cut the broken thread from flexibility

24 Mi chiamo 3D si sono Inglese

25 No sunshine in my life because the way I deal is hazy

26 And every-day's a daisy cause I'm on my toes

27 While contemporaries of mine remaining comatose

28 There's a looking glass she's looking through

29 She hated me, but then she loved me too

30 I'd lie not try, so I lost faith

31 Then turn to her, to keep the faith

32 She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind

33 And on a nine to five lemon, looking for the lime

34 Box clever, watch your system come together

35 Crazy weather at the end of my tether

36 Massive in the area, murderer

37 Attack are in the area, murderer

38 Some go softly softly round the habitat

39 Ratchet in the right hand they got no-one to stab it at

40 Take a walk billy, don't be a hero

41 Effort's on minimal though almost touch zero

42 Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man

43 To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram

44 Car paint blue, green primer and zinc

45 Take it to extremities my purple and pink

46 I feel the colour's fill my room beneath the patter of the rain

47 I can't stand the drops they're dripping down my windowpane

48 They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a mark upon my soul

49 They leave the rainbows in the dark

50 Blues get big, massive are even larger

51 Safe, no space, until the tricky Tardis

52 Withdraw from what I saw from down in Darren's hall

53 People laying their claim, in stormy weather it's rain

54 But you're living on a see-saw

55 I try to see more

56 Somebody died, did he, nobody

57 Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water

58 The son of many reasons searching for the daughter

59 Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jet set

60 Silver papers of the sound within my Boodo Khan headset

61 The solar system watches in wisdom

62 The children dance as the moonlight kissed them

63 To Massive Attack Matt Black appear wearing beads

64 Two hours traveling so I wrote this on Rapide

65 Always living fast, people getting jumpy

66 When ?igoogie? falls, I just do the walter crumpy

67 Microphone's held close, crouching far apart

68 Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart
