The Noose of Jah City
King Krule Lyrics
The noose of jah city...
It eats away at your brain
As you strain to try and contain
Felt the same
And what was to blame?
It took my days out of place and into grace
And (doncheeiv?) lost faith
Now surrounded
And I've spent dying
Body found
And my soul's left to drown
Suffocated in concrete
It took a hold of me
Put me on repeat
Now your last routine
It will start to lean
Towards an escape
But I (feels?) this state
It eats away at your brain
As you strain to try and contain
Felt the same
And what was to blame?
It took my days out of place and into grace
And (doncheeiv?) lost face
These walls grow taller
I start to lose the sense of life
The room becomes a warning
As I see they're washing away my pride
And in the tide
I saw the crimes and passed them by
I wonder why
I question why
It eats away at your brain
As you strain to try and contain
Felt the same
And what was to blame?
It took my days out of place and into grace
And (doncheeiv?) lost face

Named after the Elvis Presley film King Creole, King Krule is a solo project of Archy Marshall (born 24 August 1994), a London-based artist who has been compared to Joe Strummer and Billy Bragg. The singer, songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist raised eyebrows with the 2010 single "Out Getting Ribs," released under the alias Zoo Kid, which showcased his distinctively raw voice.

The singer, songwriter, guitarist, and keyboardist raised eyebrows with the 2010 single "Out Getting Ribs," released under the alias Zoo Kid, which showcased his distinctively raw voice. Anticipation for Marshall's first album grew as the song earned him a spot on various high-profile "artists to watch" lists, as well as a nomination in BBC's Sound of 2013 poll.
In 2013, while still a teenager, Marshall released the first King Krule album, 6 Feet Beneath the Moon, on XL in the U.K. and True Panther in the U.S. Marshall then collaborated with his brother Jack for the relatively fluid, more electronic A New Place 2 Drown. Released in 2015 and credited to Archy Marshall, its physical edition was packaged with a 208-page book of poetry, photography, and art. King Krule fully reactivated in 2017 with a handful of varied singles -- the dreamlike ballad "Czech One," the mid-tempo rocker "Dum Surfer," and the rumbling "Half Man Half Shark," all featuring saxophone from Ignacio Salvadores -- that led up to The Ooz, an hour-long follow-up written during a three-year period.

The Noose of Jah City
It eats away at your brain
As you strain to try and maintain we felt the same
I'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates, negotiate
A loss of faith
Now surrounded
They saw me fall from here but not hit the ground
And nights been dying
The body was found but my soul was left to drown
Suffocated in concrete
It took a hold of me
Put me on repeat
Now your life's routine
And you start to lean
Towards an escape
But I fuse this state
It eats away at your brain
As you strain to try and maintain we felt the same
I'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates, negotiate
A loss of faith
These walls grow taller
I start to lose a sense of light
The room becomes a warning
As I see they’re washing away at my pride
And in the tide, I saw the crimes that passed them by
I wonder why
I question why
It eats away at your brain
As you strain to try and maintain we felt the same
I'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates, negotiate
A loss of faith
putun man
The noose of Jah City
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain, felt the same
I'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate
A loss of faith
Now I'm surrounded
They saw me fall from here
But not hit the ground
And I's been dying
The body found and my soul was left to drown
Suffocated in concrete
It took a hold of me
Put me on repeat
Now your last routine
And you start to leave
Towards an escape
But I feel sustained
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain, felt the same
I'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate
A loss of faith
These wounds grow too large
I start to lose the sense of life
The rubicon's a warning
As I see they're washing away my pride
And in the tide
I saw the crimes I passed them by
I wonder why?
I question why?
It eats away at the brain
As your strain to try and maintain, felt the same
I'm always to blame
It took my days out of place
And integrates and negotiate
A loss of faith
