"MAGNIFICENT" lyrics, right here :)

"MAGNIFICENT"


So much anticipation,
for this conversation - such a long time
like a meeting of 2 nations
this special occasion
got us both tongue-tied

let me just say that I've respected you
from a distance
I've been watching you - sho been watching you

In the time it took the others to say your name
we became magnificence

Chorus
What I'm about to say will astound you
but I can only say it with no walls around you
Magnificent Oh ho
Magnificent when it pounds you
Magnificent Oh ho
The voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind


The two of us, like stardust
we go back, yeah we must
To the dawning of all time
To the nuclear reaction
the omnipresent satisfaction
sweet destiny kind
regardless of what they say to you
the moment you hear me speak this truth
let me say to you, they just through
like paradisé, I'm so nice
I never lose my effect on you

Chorus

Counting backwards, 1000 2 1
everything that we do is so much fun
2 a time before time began
before I was a woman and you were a man
before sex and race never mattered
tell me now, do you understand?

Chorus
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

I thik I hear some other words in the lyrics .. but you have got it all down. Still, sometimes, the words he says sometimes sound different.

My words are in caps. Wish NPGMC will produce a lyric book. Maybe in the refurbished VS room?

The two of us, like stardust
we go back, yeah we must
To the dawning of all time
To the nuclear reaction
the omnipresent satisfaction
sweet AND STICKY kind
regardless of what they say to you
the moment you hear me speak THEY'RE THRU
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT 2 SAY 2 U, THEY JUST DON'T
like paradisé, I'm so nice
I never lose my effect on you


Counting backwards, 1000 2 1
everything that we do is so much fun
2 OUR time before time began
before I was a woman , BEFORE U WERE A MAN
before sex and race never mattered
tell me now, do you understand?

reading the other transcripts of the lyrics and listening to the song again, im 99% sure this
is the final correct set of lyrics:


yay,ooh ooh
so much anticipation for this conversation
such a long time ,
like a meeting of 2 nations
this special occasion got us both tongue - tied
let me just say that i've respected you from a distance
i've been watching you , sho been watching you
in the time it took the others to say your name
we became magnificence

Chorus:
what im about to say will astound you
but i can only say when no-ones around you
youre magnificent oh ho , magnificent when it pounds you
magnificent oh oh
the voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind

the 2 of us like stardust , we go back yeah we must
to the dawning of all time ( time time time)
to the nuclear reaction ,the omnipresent satisfaction
the sweet and sticky kind
regardless of what they say to you, the moment you hear me speak theyre through
(they dont know what to say to you , they just dont )
like paradise i'm so nice , i'll never lose my effect on you


what im about to say will astound you
but i can only say when no-ones around you
youre magnificent oh oh , magnificent when it pounds you
magnificent oh yeah oh oh
the voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind
(the voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind)

counting backwards a thousand to one
everything we do is so much fun
to our time before time began
before i was a woman and before you were a man
before sex and race ever mattered
tell me now do you understand

what im about to say will astound you
but i can only say when no-ones around you
what im about to say will astound you
but i can only say when no-ones around you
youre magnificent , magnificent when it pounds you
magnificent oh oh
the voice that you hear is the alchemy of your mind
(that you hear is the alchemy of your mind)
