![]() Mezzanine (1998) [ larger cover art ] |
Recollect me darling raise me to your lips
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can't inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
In my home no chrome as clear as
See me now with my nearest dearest
Been there when I'm over careering
Room shifting is endearing
Between us is our kitchen
Would you found my irritant's itching
Been here before
Been here forever
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia creeps
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
Moving up slowly
She comes
Moving up slowly
Moving up slowly
She comes moving up slowly
Inertia creeps moving up slowly
She comes
I make no sound in my eidertown
Awake I lie in the morning's blue
Room is still my antenna in you
Nylon burns the bedspread with two
Gravity's zero see me stall
I bounce off walls lose my footing and fall
It can be sweet though incomplete though
And the frames will freeze
See me on all four's
It's been a long time
She comes
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I want to x you
She comes
I caught your radio waves
I caught your radio waves
Will you take a string
Say you string me along
Say you string me along
Say inertia creeps
Inertia creeps and she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Say she comes
Two undernourished egos four rotating hips
Hold on to me tightly I'm a sliding scale
Can't endure then you can't inhale
Clearly
Out of body experience interferes
And dreams of flying I fit nearly
Surrounds me though I get lonely
Slowly
Moving up slowly
Inertia keeps
She's moving up slowly
Slowly
Moving up slowly

Moving up slowly

| GarageDragon | Posted: Feb 20, 2013 - 10:29 This would mashup well with Suzanne Vega's Blood Makes Noise. |
| stevendejong | Posted: Jan 20, 2013 - 02:34 Fifteen years old this year, and sounding as unique and novel as back then. |
| DavidS_UK (Central England, UK) | Posted: Jan 04, 2013 - 15:25 Oh I hadn't heard this before tonight.... excellent, mystical edges to the spoken voice, the great beat, great production, I know I need to hear this several times more to really really rate it however. RP is the best! |

That's a very good rule of thumb. When contributing to fora, remember that the people you're addressing are real humans, not 1-dimensional cardboard cutouts, and if don't have the chops to say it to their face then don't say it online. The Net would be a far better place if folk followed that maxim. It's also worth remembering that true anonymity is hard to achieve online, so if you flame someone and the flamee really gets the hump s/he could track you down in real life. Another useful rule is to post under your real name, as I do. When a moment's web search could find my place of work, there's a real incentive to keep things civil. |

| Nerubo (Denver, CO) | Posted: Aug 02, 2011 - 10:22 Somehow I had missed this particular song before RP, even though I like very many songs from Massive Attack. This has become one of my absolute favorites. Not only a 10, but a hell yeah! 10. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Feb 25, 2011 - 18:42 Why is it that every Massive Attack song I hear is different from the others? Geez - must be talent. Or else a magic cameleon-cape that makes them something else every time they release a CD. I rated this a 7, but I'm bumping it to 8 because it made me do that computer-dance and it subsequently put my spine back into place. ![]() |

| CCSandman | Posted: Jul 19, 2010 - 08:00 Used to adore this song, not so much now, I prefer the latter half of the album, most notably the title track and Black Milk |

| robco1 (Chicago, IL) | Posted: Jun 01, 2010 - 08:55 this drive-by insult culture on the internet is getting really tiresome. You are (mostly) grown-ups here, not 12-year olds!

This is truely another MOST RIDILULOUS little-silly comment! COMPLIMENT! Best the conclusion: "...at least it's positive!" Are you mad...? Not everybody needs "Happy-Prozac" sermon! Who says this is a forum to post all-American, middle-of-the-road positivism? And why do think you're the one to speak for others? One man - one vote! Prozac-Mommies visit "over-50" parties!
