Eurochild
Massive Attack Lyrics

Sitting in my day care, yard is deco painted
I am sitting at home, looking at my garden which is decorated with art.

Blessed by the drink
I am enjoying my drink.

Upon the corners where we've seen it
On the street corners where we have observed some things happening.

Chased by the planet
Feeling overwhelmed by everything in the world.

Haunted by the medium
Being pursued by something unknown or paranormal.

Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Feeling uninterested and unresponsive to any attempts to break the monotony.

Glow from my T.V. set was blue like neon
The light from my television was blue and bright.

Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I turned on the remote and selected BBC to watch.

I've seen this city somewhere
I am familiar with this city.

I'm looking out for no-one
I am not searching for anyone or anything in particular.

Pallor in my eyes it get blue like neon
My eyes become pale and blue like neon lights.

Hell is round the corner where I shelter
I feel as though I am in hell or a difficult situation.

Isms and schisms we're living helter skelter
We are living in chaos and confusion, with many different beliefs and divisions.

If you believe I deceive then common sense says shall you receive
If you think I am lying to you, it makes sense that you will not trust me.

Let me take you down the corridors of my life
Let me guide you through the experiences of my life.

And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
Do you walk with a specific style or preference?

No need to answer till I take further evidence
Don't answer yet, I need more information before making a conclusion.

I seem to need reference to get residence
I need a reference or proof to feel like I belong somewhere.

A reference to your preference to say I'm a good neighbour
I need a reference of your preference to be able to determine whether or not I am a good neighbor.

I trudge so judge me for my labour
I work hard, so please consider that when you judge my actions.

I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
Upon entering a bar, I sense that there may be trouble or danger.

You look at me, girl, as if I was some kind of a
A girl is looking at me as if I were a stranger.

Hysterical, ecstatical no matter, call me stags
Even if I seem nervous or excited, go ahead and call me stags.

Have to get a drink, I will go to relax
I need a drink to help me relax.

Upon phono, no go zone I go through
I am listening to music and going through a no-go area.

Aching aways just to relocate you
I am in pain and wish to escape to be with you.

Kill us with your fist now baby mix it with me
Let's be together, even though it may be dangerous.

You see me function better when I get approximately
I am more productive when I have some leeway or flexibility.

High by my technical flyby
I am in a high state of mind from my technical flyby.

I function better with the sun in my eyes
I am better able to work when I have the sun shining in my eyes.

So goodbye
Goodbye.

Take a second of me you beckon I'll be
If you need me, I will be there in a second.

And when you're sad I'll mourn
I will be sad when you are sad and be there to comfort you.

And when you tear I'm torn
I too feel pain when you are upset or crying.

I stand firm for our soil
I am committed to my homeland and will defend it.

Lick a rock on foil
I enjoy or crave drugs.

So reduce me, seduce me
Make me feel smaller, but also attracted to you.

Dress me up in Stussy
Put me in designer clothing from Stussy.

Show me and I'll stick 'em
If you show me, then I'll get involved.

Will you be my victim
Do you want to be with me and be a part of what I do?

Mad over you, mad over me, analogy
We both are crazy over each other, as if it's an analogy.

Baby taking up up all of my stationary
My baby is taking up all my space and time.

Colliding with the jam
Having a clash or conflict with something.

Until the drink got dated
I drank until it was no longer fresh or enjoyable.

Window when they go when they go boom
The windows shake when something big or explosive passes by.

I run inside my room
I feel the need to retreat to the safety of my room.

No sense you can trust me
You cannot trust me, it doesn't make any sense.

Climb on my sofa
Come and sit next to me on the couch.

Roll in a daydream
Get lost in a fantasy or daydream.

Spliff make daddy go sleep-a-trip dream
Smoking marijuana makes me fall asleep and have strange, vivid dreams.
