Basement Jaxx started in Brixton, South London, UK in 1994, where they held a regular club night called Rooty, which would later become the name of their second album. The duo got their name from the location of the studio where they recorded their first EP - it was located in the basement of friends of Simon Ratcliffe.

In addition to their own work, Basement Jaxx have become in-demand remixers. Tracks such as 4 My People (which became a massive chart and club hit), Like I Love You and She Wants To Move have all had the Basement Jaxx remix treatment.

U Can't Stop Me
Basement Jaxx Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got sixteen second and I don't want to stop
I got no time for the present living on a spinning top
I got Satan on the TV I got God in a frame
I say 'Hello' for a second then you won't see me again
I am happy I am sad I can be most anything
I'm a scary mother I'm the future on a spring
I got sixteen seconds and I don't want to stop

Can't stop me
Can't stop me
Can't stop me
You can't stop me
You can't stop me
You can't stop me

I got sixteen seconds and I don't want to stop
I got no time for the present living on a spinning top
I got a fast food store selling poison, selling rocks
Spaghetti junction in my head I'm living in the after shock
I am happy I am sad I can be most anything
I'm a scary mother I'm the future on a spring
I got sixteen seconds and I don't want to stop
I got no time for the present living on a spinning top

Can't stop me
Can't stop me
Can't stop me
You can't stop me

You can't stop me
You can't stop me
