sound like a burial - massive attack collab... rly nice !!

“End of the line,” the driver said
As I awoke with a start and rubbed my head
I stumble through the doors like the living dead
And chuck my dinner down the side of a step
So I’m hurling up on the Roman Road
A gift most abhorrent, to it I bestowed
A whirlwind torrent, a splash down my clothes
Nauseous from lamplight; morse code
Like I’m sending out an SOS
To those soon to arise in their Sunday best
With their smartest jackets freshly pressed
And all of their desires safely repressed
But this is the price of hedonistic excess
I’m just a pest to infest and distress
To possess the mind of Britain and make it aggressive
She cries more tears than a manic-depressive
We broke it so bad even Bob cant fix it
Cos Bob’s job’s gone and now he’s signing on
While a comedian presides over the city
Is he laughing or does he really think its pretty?
Do the tears of a clown
Run down his lover’s titties?
As the cries of single mothers go unfound
If you never heard the tree fall did it ever make a sound?
The ink from the betting slips runs with the rain
The last drops of hope of a life consigned to pain
I was searching for pearls like a Japanese diver
But all I could find was Lady Godiva
Girl in the bus stop sitting with her legs crossed
They won’t be crossed for long ‘cos the Mondeo’s come along
These blackened walls breed hardened minds
So get  your head down and keep checking behind

London’s so dark, but you never see the stars
I’m blinded by the lights of the passing cars
Twisted visions in the shadows of the underpass
Blackened walls, lonely streets, forgotten parks

The discarded shells of run-down shops
The empty shelves and bottle tops
The slit throats of the ghosts of the past
And those shadows that the ripper cast
I’m kicking cans and broken glass
Boy, you know its time you oughta grow up fast
These diseases of the mind all seem to last
I decide its time to raise the mast
Try coming to my senses
Pass chicken wire fences
And blind-drunk eccentrics
Spouting shit offensive
I’m feeling apprehensive
Cos I’m new to this town I guess I’m an outsider
With a sorry-looking frown and a crumpled fiver
Eight million strangers and a handful of friends
Their stares are driving me round the bend
Cos my brain was real twisted but now its on the mend
Stop at Maccy D’s and waste the last of my spends
All of these nights seem to follow this trend
Then I’m on the road like Jack Kerouac
Just trying to get some of my memories back
Kebab shop neons struggle to hold a current
The silhouettes inside seem just as sullen
As the wind blows the stories of the road
Across the pavement a river of shit flows
I hate being awake when the sun begins to rise
I feel like my brain’s been shanked by a carving knife 
While the birds sing, but the day’s so uninviting
It's first thing and the rays are heavy, biting
I’ll join the 27 club six years early
It’s not like this place does much to deter me

London’s so dark, but you never see the stars
I’m blinded by the lights of the passing cars
Twisted visions in the shadows of the underpass
Blackened walls, lonely streets, forgotten parks
