Vocal
808
Have you ever wondered just what Bjork
was singing about in 'Ooops'? Is 'Lopez' really about golf? And is 'Bond'
an information age love song? Maybe you've clicked the right link, maybe
not. Perhaps I'm just dribbling and fantasizing about playing Mini Moogs.
Here are all the 808 State lyrics I can find anyway. If you have more,
mail me.
Ooops
Bond
Lopez
Sound

Azura
One

Ooops
(Bjork,
808 State)
Ooops,
alright
I'll
come right over
&
pour myself over you
jars
of fun
exciting
stories
I'll
make you forget
tickle
you a little bit
seduce
out your good temper
I'll
shine all over
I'll
cook my best dish for you
but
then it's my turn
I
want all your adoration
dog,
I own you
sit
down fool
you
own me
I'm
yours
I'm
the sun
I'll
shine all over you
grab
the rays
sugar
Bond
(M
Doughty, 808 State)
The
trouble is
a
single atom
shot
at random
random
fire
two
particles
fused
and coupled
once
united
multiply
the
waves run
underground
electric
power
copper
wire
some
tiny evil
bursts
the surface
lays
quiet like
insecticide
Slanted,
the eyes
and
this bonds mind to mind
the
risk is mine
and
this bonds mind to mind
She
says a word
across
the ocean
I
hear the spit
I
hear the sigh
the
wavelength
undivided
to
drain the fruit
and
leave the rind
the
shot runs
through
her wiring
through
her curve
through
her spine
to
feel an impulse
rising
rising
a
mess of reason
and
kissing eyes.
Lopez
(James
Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, 808 State)
Ultramarine
everything vanishes
Moonlight
for my stars in the drift
Not
shared through speech
Each
sun feels like the last
Death
is proclaimed at sunset
By
a final light
Which
darkness fills
With
every shade
Solitude
bides time
Joy
gives me my last regret
Joy
gives me my last regret
Joy
gives me my last regret
Joy
gives me my last regret
Ultramarine
everything vanishes
Moonlight
for my stars in the drift
Not
shared through speech
Each
sun feels like the last
Death
is proclaimed at sunset
By
a final light
Which
darkness fills
With
every shade
Solitude
bides time
Joy
gives me my last regret
Joy
gives me my last regret
Joy
gives me my last regret
Joy
gives me my last regret
Sound
and Vision
(David
Bowie, 808 State)
Ahhh...
Ahhh...
Doo,
doo, doo, do-doh
Doo,
doo, doo, do-doh
Don't
you wonder sometimes
'Bout
sound and vision
Blue,
blue, electric blue
That's
the colour of my room
Where
I will live
Blue,
blue
Pale
blinds drawn all day
Nothing
to do, nothing to say
Blue,
blue
I
will sit right down, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
And
I will sing, waiting for the gift of sound and vision
Drifting
into my solitude, over my head
Don't
you wonder sometimes
'Bout
sound and vision
Azura
(Louise
Rhodes, 808 State)

Here's
all I really know of this life
Love's
all we have to give
Seems
like the more I struggle on this earth
The
more completely I'm in
In
a world where mediocrity rules
Bodies
collide without a moment of emotion
Scant
parts running high behind closed minds
And
we all lose our way.
Let
me be, let me be the moon and stars for you
Let
me be your sky of blue
Let
me be, let me be the sun and moon for you
Let
me be your sky of blue.
The
winter clouds are stalking up on me
Packing
the sun away
Darkness
is creeping up on all our dreams
To
wipe them clean away
Building
boxes around our lives
Compartments
for each and every feeling
Freedom
lost with our innocence
Forgotten
long ago.
Let
me be, let me be the moon and stars for you
Let
me be your sky of blue
Let
me be, let me be the sun and moon for you
Let
me be your sky of blue
Your
sky of blue.
That's
all I really know of this life
Here's
what I want to be
Seems
like the more I wander on this earth
The
more I'm after me
In
a world where freedom rules
Souls
cut the line and make the sweetest music
One
part's necessary in open minds
And
we won't lose our way.
One
in Ten
(UB40
vs 808 State)
(Communicated
by Joe. Thanks!)
I
am the one in ten-a number on a list
I
am the one in ten-even though I don't exist
Nobody
knows me but I'm always there
Statistical
reminder of a world that doesn't care.
I
am the one in ten-a number on a list
I
am the one in ten-even though I don't exist
Nobody
knows me...
10x10
If
you want the clouds to move on raise the feeling 10 times 10...
If
you want the light to shine on raise the feeling 10 times 10...
If
you want the walls to come down raise the feeling 10 times 10...
If
it's true for you it's good for me let's feel it 10 times 10...
