Jamiroquai Tribute EP

Too Young To Die

Everybody don't want no war we're too young to die
So many people all around the world 
All around the world seen their brothers fry I seen your brother fry
What's the motive in that madness I wish I knew, you made my people cry
So politicians this time I think you'd better keep your distance
Say, sing it loud we're too young to die

What's the answer I wish I knew to our problems I think we've gone too high
I think we've gone too high little children yever said a word now
You know they never said a word still they have to die
Well I'm asking why it won't be long dancing like we do like we do now
To put this sad world right I gotta do it right so don't you worry
People, we don't have to suffer no more because we're too young to die

Don't you know we're too young to die I'm too young I'm just too young
All gone when we drop the bomb can the politicians reassure?
Cause here I am presuming that nobody wants a war
There's so many people praying just to find out if they're staying
But lately stately governments and disillusioned leaders are full of empty promises
But rarely do they feed us put our backs against the wall or don't we count at all?
Can you decide are you mesmerised do you know which side you're standing?
Because when it falls going take us all gotta know what we're demanding
I never lie can't you hear the cry coming from on high: we're too young to die

Virtual Insanity

World we're living in let me tell ya and it's a wonder man can eat at all
When things are big that should be small who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us?
And I'm givin' all my love to this world only to be told I can't see, I can't breathe no more will we be
And nothing is going to change the way we live because we can always take, but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse see it's a crazy world we're living in
And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these futures made of virtual insanity
Now always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting, all the new technology
Now there is no sound for we all live underground

And I'm thinking what a mess we're in hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties of Earth that man has made
And now every mother can choose the colour of her child
That's not nature's way well, that's what they said yesterday
There's nothing left to do but pray I think it's time I found a new religion
Whoa, it's so insane to synthesize another strain
There's something in these futures that we have to be told
Futures made of virtual insanity now always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting, all the new technology now there is no sound for we all live underground

Now there is no sound if we all live underground
And now it's virtual insanity forget your virtual reality
There's nothing so bad as a meddling man
Futures made of virtual insanity now always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting, all the new technology
Now there is no sound for we all live underground
Now there's nothing that we live in it's all going wrong
Out of window, you know there is nothing worse than a rambling man
There is nothing worse than a foolish mind virtual insanity is what we're living in

Deeper Underground

You know they gonna bring it down they gonna wreck it down, yeah
Something's come to rock me and I can't keep my head
I get nervous in the New York City streets where my legacy treads
I know I'm better off standing in the shadows far from humans with guns
But now it's too late, there's no escape from what they have done come on!
I'm going deeper underground there's too much panic in this town
I'm going deeper underground there's too much panic in this town

Well I got to go deeper got to go much deeper
They gonna wreck it down they gonna bring it down
Some people with a pocket full of money and an eye full of hate
Take a pleasure in destruction of the very thing that they tried to create
Somebody tell me why does all mankind only tamper and touch?
Have a habit where they bite off more than they can chew and now it's too much
I'm going deeper underground there's too much panic in this town
I'm going deeper underground there's too much panic in this town

I'm going deeper underground I'm going deeper underground
Something's come to rock me and I can't keep my head
I get nervous in the New York City streets where my legacy treads
I know I'm better off standing in the shadows far from humans with guns
But now it's too late, there's no escape from what they have done come on!
I'm going deeper underground there's too much panic in this town
I'm going deeper underground there's too much panic in this town
I'm going deeper underground they're gonna bring it down

Little L

There you were freaking out trying to get your head around
The fact that you and me and love is dead see how I'm tripping out
Because you can't decide what you really want from me
Why does it have to be like this I can never tell
Because you make me love you, love you with a little L

There you were shouting out cranking up your altercations, getting upset in your desperation
Screaming and hollering how could this love become so paper-thin?
You're playing so hard to get you're making me sweat just to hold your attention
I can't give you nothing more if you ain't giving nothing to me
Don't you know that you make me love you, love you with a little L
Why does it have to be like this I can never tell

Seems like you're stepping on the pieces of my broken shell
Because you make me love, love you with a little L 
You know that's the way you make me love you
Why does it have to be like this I can never tell
Because you make me love you, love you with a little L
Why does it have to be like this you make me love you with a little L

When You Gonna Learn

Have you heard the news today?
People right across the world are pledging they will play the game
Victims of a modern world circumstance has brought us here
Armageddon's come too near, too too near, now
Foresight is the only key to save our children's destiny
The consequences are so grave, so so grave, now
The hypocrites, we are their slaves so, my friends, to stop the end
On each other, we depend we depend
Mountain high and river deep stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep stop it going on

Have you heard the news today money's on the menu in my favourite restaurant
Well, don't talk about quantity because there's no fish left in the sea
Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was and you'd better play in nature's way
She will take it all away and don't try and tell me you know more than her
About right from wrong  you've upset the balance, man
Done the only thing you can now my life is in your hands
Mountain high and river deep we've gotta stop it going on
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep  stop it going on

Greedy men will fade away when we stop it going on
I know it's got to be that way when people stop it going on
I'm asking when you gonna learn to stop it going on
Now, when you gonna learn to stop it going on
Now, when you gonna learn to stop it going on
When you gonna learn to stop it going on?

Cosmic Girl

I must've died and gone to heaven because it was a quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999 right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing it was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella with the stars as her umbrella she asked me if I'd like to magnetize
Do I have to go star-trekking because it's you I should be checking
So she laser-beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity she's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy transmitting on my frequency she's cosmic

I'm scanning all my radars well she said she's from a quasar
Forty thousand million light years away it's a distant solar system
I tried to phone but they don't list them so I asked her for a number all the same
She said, step in my transporter so I can teleport ya
All around my heavenly body this could be a close encounter
I should take care not to flounder sends me into hyperspace, when I see her pretty face
She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity she's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy transmitting on my frequency she's cosmic

Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
Sends me into hyperspace when I see her pretty face
I must've died and gone to heaven because it was a quarter past eleven
On a Saturday in 1999 right across from where I'm standing
On the dance floor she was landing it was clear that she was from another time
Like some baby Barbarella with the stars as her umbrella she asked me if I'd like to magnetize
Do I have to go star-trekking because it's you I should be checking
So she laser-beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl from another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity she's from a cosmic world
Putting me in ecstasy transmitting on my frequency she's cosmic
