Karmacoma
Massive Attack Lyrics
You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Won't lie and say this love is best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest
I see you digging a hole
Your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy
Your troubles must be seen to see through money
Like it's paper with faces I remember
I drink on a daily basis
Though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper
Walking through the suburbs they're not exactly lovers
You're a couple, especially when your body's doubled
Duplicate, and then you wait for the next Kuwait
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest
Taste the rest
You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest
Taste the rest
Take a walk take a rest
Taste the rest
Don't want to be on top of your list
Monopoly and properly kissed
We overcome in 60 seconds
With the strength we have together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
When there's trust there'll be treats and
When we funk we'll hear be beats
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Deflowering my baby, aiyee my baby me
I must be crazy, see I'm swazy
Digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy
Don't wanna on top of your list
Monopoly and properly kissed
Deflowering my baby, aiyee my baby me
My baby
Deflowering my baby, aiyee my baby me
I must be crazy, you must be lazy
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma
Karmacoma, Jamaican aroma

"Karmacoma" is from the 1994 Massive Attack album "Protection" and features the rapper Tricky. Tricky's solo career was taking off at this time and he decided not to collaborate with Massive after this album, having never been very happy with Massive Attack's creative direction or in his relationships with Del Naja and Daddy G. Another story is that Tricky failed to complete a number of lyrics for the Massive Attack album "Protection" and gave the band some of the lyrics he had written for his solo album "Maxinquaye" instead.

Tricky's solo career was taking off at this time and he decided not to collaborate with Massive after this album, having never been very happy with Massive Attack's creative direction or in his relationships with Del Naja and Daddy G. Another story is that Tricky failed to complete a number of lyrics for the Massive Attack album "Protection" and gave the band some of the lyrics he had written for his solo album "Maxinquaye" instead. Hence, different versions of the same songs appear on both albums - called "Overcome" and "Hell is 'Round the Corner" on Maxinquaye and "Karmacoma" and "Eurochild" on Protection. When Massive Attack were asked, in a radio interview on CFNY (Toronto), about why the lyrics were the same, they jokingly said that "it was because he was lazy".

You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Won’t lie and say this loving's best
Well leave us in emotional pace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest
I see you digging a hole in your neighborhood
You’re crazy but you’re lazy
I need to live and I need to
Your troubles must be seen to see through
Money like it's paper with faces I remember
I drink on a daily basis though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper
Walking through the suburbs though not exactly lovers
You’re a couple, especially when your body’s doubled
Duplicate, then you wait for the next Kuwait

We overcome in sixty seconds
With the strength we have to together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
When there’s trust there’ll be treats
And when we funk we'll hear beats

Deflowering my baby, i.e. my baby mate
I must be crazy, see I'm Swayze
Digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy

Deflowering my baby, my baby mate. My baby

Karmacoma:
Karma = idea that every action has value and that affects your future, therefore implying that there is indeed good and bad in the world
Coma = a state of mind where human is oblivious to its surroundings and events
Karmacoma = Human who has no conception of right or wrong, good and evil. - kind of blissful nihilism
Laurence Of brexit
Karma coma + Jamaican aroma is a reference to Trickys West Indian and Italian bloodline..
z dobra złego zło z dobra lub odwrotnie

Max Scholl
Essentially the movie 'Fallen Angels'...

Yep, I, vividly, remember this clip/video of late Winter (February-March), 1995, on MTV Europe; back then, I thought the chorus, "Karmacoma, Jamaica and Roma", was rather silly (even, weird)!
