Let’s Go
Everybody wants to be famous,
Nobody wants to be nameless, aimless,
People act shameless
Tryna live like entertainers,
Want a fat crib, kitanda cha mtoto mchanga with the acres,
So they spend money that they ain’t made yet,
Got a Benz on tik that they ain’t paid yet,
Spend their pay cheque
In the west end on the weekend
Got no money kwa the end of the weekend.
But they don’t care cause their life is a movie,
Starring Louis V, paid for kwa yours truly,
Truthfully, it’s a joke, like a bad episode of Hollyoaks,
Can’t keep up with the cover notes,
So they got bad credit livin’ on direct debit in debt...

[Verse 1]

And the moyo is hard to translate,
It has a language of it's own,
It talks in tongues and quiet sighs and prayers and proclamations,
In the grand days of great men and the smallest of gestures,
In short shallow gasps,
But with all my education,
I can’t seem to commend it,
And the words are all escaping me,
And coming back all damaged,
And I would put them back in poetry,
If I only knew how,
I can’t seem to understand it.

[Chorus]

And I would give all this and heaven too,
I would give it all if only for a moment,
That I could just understand the meaning of the word wewe see,
Cause I’ve been scrawling...

Old hope got stuck in your throat,
Wound it's way round your neck caused wewe to choke.
Old hope made of rope, that held wewe tight when the chair legs broke.

When they found wewe hangin in the woods,
you alisema atleast now I don't have to kind nor good.
I'll be cruel and I'll obscene tear out my tongue cause I've been redeemed.
When they found wewe hangin in the woods,
you alisema atleast now I don't have to kind nor good.
I'll be cruel and I'll obscene tear out my tongue
Cause I've been redeemed.

Take my(don't know what she says) au the grave,
no shy glance, no coy restiants, and I wont hang my head,
and I wont...

When your life is over I won't be sad au bluer
I'll put on my fancy hat, lie down inayofuata to you
I'll kiss wewe once for life; I'll kiss wewe twice for death
Hold wewe close for comfort, wearing my best dress

You look so angry when wewe sleep, your face a troubled frown
So I will smooth your furrowed brow as I lay in the ground
I'll kiss wewe once for life; I'll kiss wewe twice for death
I'll hold wewe close for comfort, wearing my best dress

And as the mourners pass me, I will smile and wave
Thank them for their sympathy and tell them I'll be brave
But once the wake is over, and I'm drunk and feeling fine
I'll...

No walls,
Can keep me protected
No sleep,
Nothing inbetween me and the rain
And wewe can't save me now,
I'm in the grip of a hurricane
I'm gonna blow myself away.

I'm going out,
I'm gonna drink myself to death
And in the crowd
I see wewe with someone else,
I brace myself,
Cause I know it's going to hurt,
But I like to think at least things can't get any worse.

No home,
I don't want shelter,
No calm,
Nothing to keep me from the storm,
And wewe can't hold me down,
Cause I belong to the hurricane,
It's gonna blow us all away.

I'm going out,
I'm gonna drink myself to death
And in the crowd
I see wewe with someone else,
I brace...

We sit in the car outside your house
I can feel the heat coming 'round
I go to put my arm around you
And wewe give me a look like I'm way out of bounds
Well wewe let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I'm goin' down

We get dressed up and we go out, baby, for the night
We come nyumbani early burning, burning in some moto fight
I'm sick and tired of wewe setting me up
Setting me up just to knock-a knock-a knock-a me down

I pull wewe close but when we kiss I can feel a doubt
I remember back when we started
My kisses used to turn wewe inside out
I used to drive wewe to work in the morning
Friday night I'd drive wewe all around
wewe used to upendo to drive me wild
But lately girl wewe get your kicks from just driving me down
She told me not to step on the cracks
I told her not to fuss and relax
Well, her pretty little face stopped me in my tracks
But now she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid

I took a kisu and cut out her eye
I took it nyumbani and watched it wither and die
Well, she's lucky that I didn't slip her a smile
That's why she sleeps with one eye open
That's the price she paid

I said, hey, girl with one eye
Get your filthy fingers out of my pie
I said, hey, girl with one eye
I'll cut your little moyo out cause wewe made me cry

I slipped my hand under her skirt
I alisema don't worry, it's not gonna hurt
Oh,...

A falling nyota fell from your moyo and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map...

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that captured me
The sigh that blew me forward

Because it was trapped
Trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs
It was trapped between two lungs

And my running feet could fly
Each breath screaming: "We are all too young to die!"

Between two lungs it was released
The breath that passed from wewe to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept between two lungs
It was released
The breath that passed from wewe to me
That flew between us as we slept
That slipped from your mouth into mine
It crept

Because it was trapped...

These are the lyrics to florence and the machine cosmic love. Enjoy!

A falling nyota fell from your moyo and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
wewe left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
wewe left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your moyo beating, wewe were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
wewe left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

[Verse 1]

When we first came here,
We were cold and we were clear,
With no colors on our skin,
We were light and paper thin,
And when we first came here,
We were cold and we were clear,
With no colors on our skin,
Until we let the spectrum in,
Say my name and every color illuminates,
We are shining and we will never be afraid again.

[Chorus]

Say my name and every color illuminates,
We are shining and we will never be afraid again,
Say my name and every color illuminates,
We are shining and we will never be afraid again.

[Verse 2]

And hen we come for you,
We'll be dressed all in blue,
With the ocean in our arms,...

The looking glass so shiny and new
How quickly the glamor fades
I start spinning slipping out of time
Was that the wrong pill to take (Raise it up)
You made a deal and now it seems wewe have to offer up
But will it ever be enough
(Raise it up raise it up)
It's not enough
(Raise it up raise it up)

Here I am a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems Ive made the final sacrifice

We raise it up this offering
We raise it up

This is a gift it comes with a price
Who is the kondoo, mwana-kondoo and who is the knife
Midas is king and he holds me so tight
And turns me to dhahabu in the sunlight

I look around but I can't find...

If wewe could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

My fingers claw your skin, try to tempt my way in
You are the moon that makes the night for which I have to howl
My fingers claw your skin, try to tempt my way in
You are the moon that breaks the night for which I have to

Howl, howl
Howl, howl

Now there's no rolling back, I'm aching to attack
My blood is imba with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have...

Time it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
And time goes quicker
Between the two of us
Oh, my love, don't forsake me
Take what the water gave me

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

And oh poor Atlas
The world's a beast of a burden
You've been holding on a long time
And all this longing
And the ships are left to rust
That's what the water gave us

So lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow
Pockets full of stones

Lay me down
Let the only sound
Be the overflow

'Cause they took your loved ones
But returned them...

As i commited my crimes in a darkened room
A bird flew by, and saw what i'd done it set up a nest outside
And he sang about what i'd become
He sang so loud
He sang so clear
I was afraid all the neighbours would hear
So i invited him in, to reason with him
I promised i wouldn't do it again
But he sang louder and louder inside the house
And now i couldn't get him out
So I trapped him under a cardboard box
And stood on it to make him stop
I picked up the bird and above the dim i said
"That's the last song you'll ever sing"
Held him down, broke his neck
Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

Then i put that bird...

Sometimes I feel like throwing my hands up in the air
I know I can count on you
Sometimes I feel like saying "Lord I just don't care"
But you've got the upendo I need To see me through

Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
And things go wrong no matter what I do
Now and then it seems that life is just too much
But you've got the upendo I need to see me through

When chakula is gone wewe are my daily meal
When Marafiki are gone I know my savior's upendo is real
Your upendo is real

You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love
You got the love

Time after time I think "Oh...

Florence Welch is taking her Machine out on tour again, hitting the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle on March 16. But this time, the UK chart-topper tells Andy Welch, there’ll be no zaidi rock ’n’ roll antics – it’s all about the music


Amid the deliveries, collections and heavy traffic of a west London industrial estate, something very exciting is happening. While one particular unit’s exterior is just as bland as all the others, its insides contain zaidi colour and drama than any of the passing couriers could possibly imagine.

“We’re testing out giant video screens and projectors,”...

[Verse 1]

(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)
(Yeah-ah-ah, yeah-ah-ah)

Oh the river oh the river it's running free,
Oh the joy oh the joy it brings to me,
But I know it'll have to drown me,
Before I can breathe easy,
And I've seen it in the flights of birds,
I've seen it in you,
And the entrails of the wanyama in the blood running through,
But in order to get to the heart,
It takes some time wewe have to cut through.
(We can, I know wewe can...)

[Chorus]

Just keep following the heartlines on your head,
Just keep following the heatlines on your head,...

[Verse 1]

All a lone it was always there wewe see,
And even on my own it was always standing inayofuata to me,
I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the mitaani, mtaa light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can wewe see it coming now?

[Chorus]

Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down again,
Oh-oh-oh-oh,
I think I'm breaking down.

[Verse 2]

All a lone even when I was child,
I've always known there was something to be frightened of,
And I can see it coming from the edge of the room,
Creeping in the mitaani, mtaa light,
Holding my hand in the pail gloom,
Can wewe see it coming now?

[Chorus Repeat]

[Verse 3]

All a lone on the edge of sleep,
My old familiar friend comes a lies down inayofuata to me,
And I can see if coming from the edge of the room,
Smiling in the mitaani, mtaa light,
Even with my eyes shut tight,
I still it coming now.

[Chorus Repeat] (X2)

[Verse 1]

And I had a dream about my old school,
And she was there all pink and dhahabu and glittering,
I threw my arms around her legs,
Came to weeping (Came to weeping),
Came to weeping (Came to weeping),
And I heard your voice as clear as day,
And wewe told me I should concentrate,
It was oh so strange,
And so surreal that a ghost should be so practical,
Only if for a night.

[Chorus]

And the only solution was to stand and fight,
And my body was loosing all the satellite,
But wewe came over me like some holy life,
And I know how this works you're the only light,
Only if for a night.

[Verse 2]

And the nyasi was...
