Jamiroquai Album

Baby rock dust light star
Yeah, ok, that's the one

Rock Dust Light Star
And it's coming at you baby

I'm a man on the moon
I hope I don't come back too soon
Am I the only one to see the light?
No use in gettin' down upon your knees tonight

So I don't feel love
Because I got no faith
I've seen those twisted lies thrown back into my face
I've heard the crazy doctrines of the human race
I must be alone

How could it be?
Your gift to me
Salvo off heavy artillery
There's nothing 'bout your war
you can call it what you like

I know where I'm from
And it's cold and dark,
'Cos all the sinners are just saints without sparks
I'm having trouble telling them apart
Oh yeah

Comin' at you rock dust light star
Coming at you baby,
Thirty six thousand miles an hour
Rock dust light star
Comin' at you baby
What you made of what you are

Now look and see
Those stars for you and me
Waiting like slient killers in the night
Atomic legions, you can never fight (can neva fight)

I've never felt
I ever prayed
Don't have to join in with the other slaves
I'm not the only one who feels betrayed
yeahhhhhhh

See the more I think about it
I'm going against the grain
ohhhhh ohhhhh
I won't be born again
Salvation's coming from on high

(Coming at you baby, through the sky. From on high yeah.)


Rock dust light star
Coming at you baby
Thirty six thousand miles an hour
Rock dust light star
Coming at you baby
What you made of what you are
Rock dust light star
Coming at you baby
Thirty six thousand miles an hour
Rock dust light star
Coming at you baby
What you made of what you are


Rock dust light. Star.
Rock dust light. Star.

I'm a square peg
In a round hole
Maybe there's no place left for my wounded soul
Maybe the King of Kings has finally lost control of it


Rock dust light star
Coming at you baby
Thirty six thousand miles an hour

Salvation's coming
Coming at you baby
Thirty six thousand miles an hour

Salvation's coming
Coming at you baby
Thirty six thousand miles an hour
What you made of what you are

Look up and see those skies for you and me
Look up and see

Yeah! Gonna make it better.
Yeah! Gonna make it right!
Here it is, there's no way to make it better.
Yet you do, It's pressure (pressure)
I'm serious, trouble ??? on the way
Gotta little something for you, it's pressure (pressure) it gets ya

Now we need what you know
But I do that anyway
I can't let this pressure go
This pressure's here to stay

Chorus:
Yeah! White Knuckle Ride
Gonna make it better
White Knuckle Ride (I want it baby)
Yeah! White Knuckle Ride
Gonna make it right
White Knuckle Ride (I want it)
It's not so easy to control (pressure)
It's not so easy to control (pressure)
There's no easy way to make it better

There it is (there it is)
Gonna change it if I wanna
Taste it all the time
It's pressure (pressure)
Yeah-hey! Oh baby
Step into the light
Don't know if I can recover (don't know if I can recover)
Got me round your ???
Pressure (pressure)

There it is (there it is)
Gonna change it if I wanna
Taste it all the time
Step into the light
Don't know if I can recover
Taste it all the time
I taste it all the time (yeah!)

Chorus: [x2]
Yeah! White Knuckle Ride
Gonna make it better
White Knuckle Ride (I want it baby)
Yeah! White Knuckle Ride
Gonna make it right
White Knuckle Ride (I want it)
It's not so easy to control (pressure)
It's not so easy to control (pressure)
There's no easy way to make it better (I want it baby)

Stop what you're doing get into
this groove
Can't you see the signs?
Carried away on a wave of devotion
With music pumping
The lights sre shining so bright

Stop what you're doing get
into this groove
Can't you see the signs?

Slip on out and slip on into his shoes
He dances like a plasticine machine
Some guys seize the day
Some guys got the way
Sweet old-skool attraction

He wants your lovin tonight

He tells you you're no cheapskate
reproduction
You're sure that he must be the
real thing
Well you're damned if you do
And you're damned if you don't
'Cos your friends don't like his haircut

But he wants your lovin tonight

Oh seven brides might meet the
seven brothers
That doesn't mean that you are one
of them
Seventeen other lovers left the scene
But you don't think that you're the
ge-between
Giiirl think about it

He wants your lovin tonight

Oh those days turn into years and you
did nothing
And now you wish you'd been left out
there on the shelf
Baby you're an angel
Doin things for him and not yourself

Those flaming eyes that flicker in
the fast lane
Don't tell of broken hearts he's
left behind
It's hard not to succumb
But you were stuck under his thumb
You won't have a word of it
Your mama's going out of her mind

This is not the thing she wanted for ya
Chained up to the kitchen sink of life
Thirteen years of negligence
But you're too far in to jump the fence
I bet you rue the day
When you took his lovin that night

So hard for you to see through smoke
and mirrors
How come you never look before
you leap
Well baby you're an angel
You didn't know he's playing this
for keeps

Can't you see the goog the
bad the ugly
They told you it was far too far to drop
Oh baby you're an angel
Crying on a shoulder made of rock

Ahh, ahh, he wants your lovin...
Tonight my dear, tonight your lovin
[Repeat]
He wants your lovin tonight [4x]

Don't kick me when you know
I'm down baby
I've got my reasons
but you're cherry picking love
grenades
Throwing them at me again

Don't let me see you with a sad face
Don't wanna see ya
Smashing up all those dreams
That's the way it's always been

All good
In the hood tonight
Did I forget to mention
A little bit of tension makes the world
alright
(makes the world alright)

And there's some pain
You can't do without
That's the pain you're tasting
When you started walking out

Ooh mercy mercy
It's a hard game
When love is war
And war will never be the answer
I feel that rage again

This is the storm
You love to ride on
Your face s thunder
Tears are falling down like rain
On my window pane
(Keep on sayin it)

All good (all good in the hood tonight)
In the hood tonight (all good in the
hood tonight)
Did I forget to mention
A little bit of tension makes the
world alright

And there's some pain
You can't do without
That's the pain you're tasting
When you started walking out

Walking out on me yeh, walkin out
Walking out on me yeh, walkin out
Walking out on me yeh, walkin out

All good (all good in the hood tonight)
In the hood tonight (it's good in the
hood tonight)
Did I forget to mention
A little bit of tension makes the
world alright

And there's some pain
You can't do without
That's the pain you're tasting
When you started walking out

Walking out on me yeh, walkin out
Walking out on me yeh, walkin out
Walking out on me yeh, walkin out

Ace to Queen
And it's dust to dust
Things ain't changing
But I know I must
I've been hurtin'

Life seemed easy
No return
Took safety measures
But I still got burnt

I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

How the hell did I lose you?
Head's not right
Much too loose
It's not screwed on tight

I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

How the hell did I lose you?
My head's not right
How the hell did I lose you?
It's not screwed on tight
How the hell did I lose you?
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

Hanging out
Head to dry
I've been hurtin'
You made me cry
Well I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

I don't get worried
I keep a lid on tight
But it's hard to take babe
I take it every night

I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

How the hell did I lose you?
My head's not right
How the hell did I lose you?
It's not screwed on tight
How the hell did I lose you?
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

Got a head for money
You had a head for sin
Gonna build that space ship
We were gonna fly it in

I've been hurtin'
All I need is you

How the hell did I lose you?

How the hell did I lose you?
You know that my, my heads
not right
How the hell did I lose you?
It's much too loose, it's not screwed
on tight
How the hell did I lose you?
I've been hurtin'
'Cos all I need is you

Tears for days
Ace to Queen
Dust to dust
Things ain't changing

Hanging out
Head's not right
Head to dry
I've been hurtin'

Tears for days
Ace to Queen
Dust to dust
Things ain't changing

Hanging out
Head's not right
Head to dry

I've been hurtin'
Tears for days
Ace to Queen
Dust to dust
Things ain't changing

Hanging out
Head's not right
Head to dry
I've been hurtin'

So these are the figurines
acting out all the scenes before my eyes
I thought I knew them all by name
But they started looking much the same
And it's no surprise

But I don't wanna listen
Too much
How can I give up on all the days I know I've won
There's nothing but rainbows
I believe in the shadows

now honey
Thought I might Be dropping out
But now i am gonna work it out
I am gonna work with me
I am Runnin' like it …looser
Then I'm Rolling Like sea Rusty Ship On A Stormy Sea

You know that people are saying
strange things

Talk to the hand 'cause i know you think the face is gone

I don't wanna listen
Too much
I'm not gonna give up on all the days I know I've won
There's nothing but blue sky
There's nothing but blue sky

Nothings gonna stop me now
I am skimming like a skipping stone on a silver lake
I take it when the chips are down
But to play the perfect happy clown
You gotta make a mistake (gotta make mistakes)


People are saying
Strange things
And I don't wanna listen (I don't wanna listen)
Too much yeah

Nothing but blue sky
Blue Sky

How can I tell you I Know this wont Be the last Song
i don't wanna listen (I don't wanna listen)
too much
Not gonna give up on the days I know I've won

That's where I am going
'cause there is nothing nothing but blue sky
That's where I am going
Nothing but
Rainbows falling down on me …uh yeah hey

Nothing but blue sky
Can't you see
That's where I am going
Got to believe me
That's where I am going

Rolling
Down the sunny avenues
Well... all this running around
I'm back on the road with you
again baby

Free ride
I haven't got a care in the world
There's only me and you girl
Back on the road with you again baby

Sweet life we're holding onto this life
And all because you've saved me
Zero to hero that's what you made me

Lady, you know that she excites me
But her mama never liked me
I'm back on the road with you
again baby

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it
'Cos she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me

Deadlines...
We won't be needing any of those
no more
It seems like the right time
To be back on the road with you
again baby

I feel like...
I'll never feel the cold now
I'll never be alone now
'Cos I'm back on the road with
you again

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl
For me she was clearly made

I don't need no destination
'Cos my baby's saving me
She got the lifeline of love
she got it all thrown out to me

Don't lose me now
'Cos I need you baby, need
you baby

We gotta get up
Run away baby
We gotta get on
Run away baby
You know your mama never
liked me
She said we gonna break up
Said it's gonna never work
But it's too bad baby
We're back on the road again
And now we're moving
Running to the sunset
(back on the road again)
Just me and you together
(back on the road again)
I got a groove on the girl
(back on the road again)
Her mama didn't like me

Don't pick no hole in my soul
Don't you spoil my sweet charade
I get high on the girl yeh
For me she was clearly made

And don't get mixed up about it
'Cos she won't leave me at sea
I get a groove with the girl
She got a lifeline out to me

Just got my feel good factor
And it's gone right through the roof
I get the blues with the news
Girl let's get it on the hoof

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh

Throw me a lifeline
Throw me a lifeline
A lifeline of love yeh

Oh I need your lifeline of love
Get it out to me
Well I need her
Don't lose me now
Don't lose me now
I got your lifeline all thrown out to me
Oh I've got your lifeline
Got your lifeline of love yeh

And now she's stinging in the rain cause she's got so much to give
(Girl's got crazy rhythm)
And i still don't know her name, but I really wish i did
(Girl's got crazy rhythm)
There's a magic in her moves and i bet you never knew
(Girl's got crazy rhythm)
Come on stand here for a while, she'll be standing into you
(Girl's got crazy rhythm)


I love it when you get on it and hurt me babe, on your knees, once again, she's a fast persuader, out of space, escalated to elation any place

Girl's got crazy rhythm, she's coming from a stranger place
all wrapped up in music with a star gaze on her face

She got it

straight ahead, you and me, something i can't hold forever, love it when she's tearing up the brakes.
she's a dream, fantasy, i don't need too much persuading, give her all the heart she wants to take
now and then, i wonder why cupid shot me with his arrow, see my wings are melting near the sun
got my head in a spin, there's no job that she's begun to

get on down, and hurt me babe, on your knees, once again, she's a fast persuader, out of space, escalated to elation any place

Girl's got crazy rhythm, she's coming from a stranger place
all wrapped up in music with a star gaze on her face

she got it


i love it when you get on it and hurt me babe, on your knees, once again, she's a fast persuader, out of space, escalated to elation any place

Girl's got crazy rhythm, she's coming from a stranger place
all wrapped up in music with a star gaze on her face

you know she's got it

come on down, come on work me baby, and she never ever let it go

Oh hey baby
What I want and what you give

Pass each other by like ships in the night
And I still wonder why
It's like it is
Memories of how we'd cross this
bridge together
Super glued forever it was all so fine

Chorus:
And what I want and what you give
Are two completely different things
And it just don't feel the same
Now you don't call my name
And when we had what we had
For me life didn't seem so bad
I keep staring every day at this empty
picture frame

Oh hey baby
What I want and what you give yeh

Trouble brewing yes I thought we'd
ride the storm
Sail away together on an ocean blue
I don't remember when the mystery
was gone
But now I'm only half as strong without
you babe, oh yeh

Chorus:
What I want and what you give
Are two completely different things
And it just don't feel the same
Now you don't call my name
I know I'm hard to understand
But you'll always be part of my plan
I keep staring every day at this empty
picture frame

What I want and what you give yeh, woo
They're just two completely different
things
Ah baby, yeh

What I want and what you give to me

Ooh, I know I'm hard to understand baby
But you'll always be part of my plan
Can't you see?

Chorus:
What I want and what you give
Are two completely different things
It just don't feel the same
When you don't call my name
And if I had, what we had
For me life wouldn't seem so bad
I keep staring every day at this empty
picture frame

What I want and what you give yeh, ooh
They're just two completely different
things, two completely different
things again

I don't remember when the mystery
was gone
But I know that now, now
Now... I'm only half as strong
Without you baby
I think I still love you baby
And I know that I'm hard to understand
But you'll always be part of my plan
I think I, I think I, I think I think I think
I still love you baby

Goodbye
Goodbye

Seems like I knew you since you
were a little girl
Cried out to you, never thought
that you'd ruin my world
Now we're all broke up
I glimpse you on the street
Just gotta put up, shut up,
Because we've split the sheets

This world keeps spinning around
but I just don't care
I had my name written up in lights
wanted you to share
I don't mind to do my thing, to do
yours yourself
I can't stick around here no it's bad
for my health

I said goodbye to my dancer
So long to my lover
And though we never made it
I've still got to say it
I can't stand any other
(and there's no-one to hold me)

Got your letter just yesterday
So you might as well get outta here
Because you been paid
It doesn't matter cos I've got my lover
And she's into me
But I'm finding it hard inside to set
you free

I said goodbye to my dancer
So long to my lover
And though we never made it
I've still got to say it
I can't stand any other
(and there's no-one to hold me)

Keeping all the hearts you get to break
I've got another lover who loves
mistakes
I never get close enough to touch
'Cos you're cool when you're burning
Cool when you're burning

I said goodbye to my dancer
So long to my lover
And though we never made it
I've still got to say it
I can't stand any other
(and there's no-one to hold me)

Now I pretend
That I don't care
But I'm a lonely man
And I'm running scared

It's over now
So baby walk away
It's broken down
It won't work again

(and there's no-one to hold me)

Goodbye to my dancer
Goodbye to my dancer
I got to walk away baby
Goodbye to my dancer
Goodbye to my dancer
I gotta set you free baby

Goodbye to my dancer
Goodbye to my dancer
Goodbye to my dancer
I gotta let you go
Goodbye

(and there's no-one to hold me)
Nobody to hold me, no oh no

Goodbye to my dancer

Dust off that dusty photograph
And think of how we laughed
Roll up those shutters to your shop
Cos now this circus got to stop

Flick through those dog-eared
magazines
When you were in the scene
But now that you're gone...

There's never gonna be another
Never gonna be another like you
The people in the street are saying
There's never gonna be another
Woh... never gonna
Never gonna be another like you

I watched your soul when it was young
You'd finished when you'd just begun
I'd like to take a feather from
The wings that used to carry you
So suddenly, you seem at peace
We know that you have been released

Don't think they'll cry for you
tomorrow
They never cried for you that day
But the people in the street are saying
to me baby...

There's never gonna be another
(There's never gonna be)
Never gonna be another like you
(When you were on the scene)
There's never gonna be another
(And now that you're gone)
Woh... never gonna
Never gonna be another like you
(Never gonna be... another like you)
You stepped into the light and you
are the sun now

There's never gonna be another
Never gonna be another like you
(There's never gonna be another like
you, another like you, when you were
on the scene)
There's never gonna be another
(when you were on the scene yeh)
Never gonna be another like you
And dust off that dusty photograph
and think of how we laughed yeh

Now that you're gone, I think of you,
I think of you [repeat]

There's a man
runnin hot
And there's a night train
I know he's going to stick it out
Ri-ide that crazy white horse

He's a man
He's a big in paradise
But it might get blown into the winds tonight

Seems life's a record stuck
And that it couldn't make it off
He's a cool hand luke,
he's jimmy cross slippery slope

He's just possessed and crazy
Thank you for nothing baby
All those dreams are going up in smoke

I say, hey Floyd! You got your mind in a mess again
hey Floyd! You gotta learn how to break the chain

-=- Reggae Instrumental -=-

Ohh. Yeeah.
There's a night train, to your heartbreak - get on.

it's the big time, that been driving you on

So whatcha gonna do Floyd? I've got to knooow..
I got to know what you're going to dooo yeah
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do Floyd? (do floyd)
I got to know. I've got to know what you're going to do.

There's a night train, to your hearth break, get on.
It's the big time that has been driving you on, and on,.
Note my blue sky, hanging over your head. (know my blue skies hanging over you, youuu)

(come on floyd!)
Shoot em up and shoot em down.
Cut down that spot of freedom
Kick it, Stick it, do it what you can.

Got me the pissys-fit,
Get rid of all that shit

I said, hey Floyd you got yo mind in a mess again
hey Floyd, you got the time on your hands to mend

-=- Piano Instrumental -=-

Come on Floyd!
Gotta learn to break that chain now baby.
Hey Floyd, gotta learn to break that chain now baby.

Get off that shotgun ride
I know how much you tried
To blow the high priest of paid away (?)

Your no extravaganza
Do the play in the dirty dancer
Hell man! they even know your name

Hey Floyd, you got yo mind in a mess again
Hey Floyd, you gotta learn how to break the chain

(hey floyd! don't get yo mind in a mess again!)

It’s like you always want to change me
Shake me
It’s like you really wanna break me
Turn me into you

And I want to turn it down when you play that
Music’s not the funk I want to hear
(Music is not the funk)
That’s Not The Funk I Want
Say what you like I’m walking away now
Spit those bricks at me again baby
I feel like breaking glass again

It’s like you want to spit the bricks out
Cut me (cut me down to size)
It’s like you think you’re gonna save me
(Save me)
But you’re burning me alive

You want to treat me like a bad dog
Chain me all day up to you
That’s not the way I wanna see things
There things, hate things that you do
I feel I’m breaking glass again

And I want to turn it down when you play that
Music’s not the funk I want to hear
That’s Not The Funk I Want
It’s not the way to move me
Say what you like I’m walking away now
Spit those bricks at me again
Spitting those bricks at me again babe
That’s Not The Funk I Want

Say what you like I’m walking away
If you spit those bricks at me again
Say what you like I’m walking away
If you spit those bricks at me again

It’s like you always want to change me
(It’s like you wanna change me)
I ain’t changing nothing over you
It’s like you always want to break me
(It’s like you wanna break me)
I still ain’t changing nothing over you
oh baby

I want to turn it down when you play that
(turn it down)
Music’s not the funk I want to hear
(Music is not the funk)
That’s Not The Funk I Want, I wanna hear
(It’s not the way to move me)
Say what you like I’m walking away now
(Say what you like)
Spit those bricks at me again
(Spitting those bricks at me again baby)
That’s Not The Funk I Want
That’s not the funk that I want from you
That’s Not The Funk I Want
Oh baby don’t you do that
Oh baby don’t you do that
