Return To Paradise - Sam Sparro My favourite from his second album. A classic.
"Return To Paradise" (Help us)
Though the robots have Become intelligent They'll never replicate the way that I feel I sent a love letter Through the internet You cannot touch it but you know that it's real I'm secure in my cabin And circling the planet And I'd love to hear from you Though my screen is delaying I can't hear what you're saying Hope the war is over soon Posing as human those androids have ruined The forest, the seas, and the skies [Chorus:] Close your eyes Return to Paradise We'll turn their lies to lullabies [?] enemies Are plain in front of me They could have helped us but we led them astray The new technology And ideology Have disconnected we were never the same Through the blink of an eyelid And through a million light years And we're back beneath the moon Though the human condition And race is in the mission Hope that love will get here soon Posing as human those androids have ruined The forest, the seas, and the skies [Chorus x2:] Close your eyes Return to Paradise We'll turn their lies to lullabies Just close your, close your eyes Return to life Return it back to life Close your eyes Return to Paradise We'll turn their lies to lullabies [Edited 10/22/15 6:13am] “It means finding the very human narrative of a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, non- violence, the pitfalls of acclaim as the perils of rejection” - Lesley Hazleton on the first Muslim, the prophet. | |

When I was a little boy living in the last century 21st century life, I got swept away Well, now I turned on the TV just in time enough to hear 21st century life, I got swept away Now I'm not a little boy, I'm in the 21st century I watched the news on my computer screen 21st century life, I got swept away 21, 21, 21

"Black And Gold"Mmm
If the fish swam out of the ocean And grew legs and they started walking And the apes climbed down from the trees And grew tall and they started talking And the stars fell out of the sky And my tears rolled into the ocean And now I'm looking for a reason why You even set my world into motion 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold Mmm I look up into the night sky I see a thousand eyes staring back And all around these golden beacons I see nothing but black I feel the weight of something beyond them I don't see what I can feel If vision is the only validation Then most of my life isn't real 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really there Then I don't wanna be either I wanna be next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold (Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold, black and gold, black and gold) Mmm Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 'Cause if you're not really here Then the stars don't even matter Now I'm filled to the top with fear That it's all just a bunch of matter 'Cause if you're not really there I don't wanna be either I wanna be, next to you Black and gold, black and gold, black and gold “It means finding the very human narrative of a man navigating between idealism and pragmatism, faith and politics, non- violence, the pitfalls of acclaim as the perils of rejection” - Lesley Hazleton on the first Muslim, the prophet. | |
