Tricky - Vulnerable Lyrics






Stay

Tricky:
Don't wanna stay
Don't wanna stay

Costanza Francavilla :
I don't really care or share with you
I would rather walk alone
I'm forgetting where I was

I don't really think it's fair of you
I would rather stay at home
I'm forgetting just because

Costanza & Tricky:
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day
Day with you
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day
Day with you
Don't wanna stay

Costanza Francavilla :
No don't try to manipulate
I would rather take control
I'm knowing where I was
Don't you ever try to feel my hate
I would rather feel nothing
I know we're losing love

Costanza & Tricky:
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day
Day with you
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day
Day with you
Don't wanna stay

Costanza Francavilla :
I don't really care or share with you
I would rather walk alone
I'm forgetting where I was

I don't really think it's fair of you
I would rather stay at home
I'm forgetting just because

Don't wanna stay

Tricky:
Don' wanna stay with you (2x)
Don't want another day

Costanza & Tricky:
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day
Day with you
Don't wanna stay or lay with you
Don't want another day
Day with you
Don't wanna stay

Anti-Matter

Tricky & Costanza:
I'm antimatter
I don't matter
Cancer phones
Break my bones

I'm illusion
Sonic solution
Magic mind
Sonic pollution

I just detox
I just see lots
I see nothing
Show me something

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(2x)

I have visions
Homosapiens
Fast I've grown
I think alone
I'm confusion

Evolution
I'm in man cub
Institution
I move forward
I make awkward

I just jump jump
I just thump thump

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright
(2x)

I evolve
Then dissolve
Maintain my laws
'til April falls

My sea runs red
My trees are dead
My breath runs short
Please report

Is there someone out there
Is there someone out there
Do you receive me
Do you receive me

We go round and round
We make it safe and sound
I try to break it down
Alright

Ice Pick

Tricky:
Little blood clock
You could never test I
You come close
Just close my left eye
See with my third
The rest you never heard
Executive roosters
And pop producers
What you're used ta
I get looser
I can use ya, abuse ya
F*ck what you're used to
I'm gonna lose you
I'm not what I used to
I see thru ya
I see thru ya

Costanza Francavilla :
I'm needy
I'm greedy
Feed me
Give me some
I'm needy
I'm greedy
Feed me
Give me some

I keep it coming
I keep it coming
I'm running all the way
And while I'm running
And while I'm running
I'm gonna leave you far away

Perry Melius:
Who you down like
Who do you sound like
Who you down like
Who do you sound like
You sound like T
How he used to be
Keep on talking
Watch what he's making
You're in the bars
With your stars
You go far
You're up to par
Your turn to flex

Costanza Francavilla :
I'm needy
I'm greedy
Feed me
Give me some
I'm needy
I'm greedy
Feed me
Give me some

I keep it coming
I keep it coming
I'm running all the way
And while I'm running
And while I'm running
I'm gonna leave you far away

Tricky:
Little blood clock
You could never test I
You come close
Just close my left eye
See with my third
The rest you never heard
Executive roosters
And pop producers
What you're used ta
I get looser
I can use ya, abuse ya
F*ck what you're used to
I'm gonna lose you
I'm not what I used to
I see thru ya
I see thru ya

Costanza Francavilla :
I'm needy
I'm greedy
Feed me
Give me some
I'm needy
I'm greedy
Feed me
Give me some

I keep it coming
I keep it coming
I'm running all the way
And while I'm running
And while I'm running
I'm gonna leave you far away

Car Crash

Tricky & Costanza:
You leave me hungry
Wanting more
Am I thirsty
I wasn't sure
See me driving
Through the rain
Why am I driving
I can't explain

In my car to where you are
I won't make it
I can't make it
In my car to where you are
I won't make it
I can't make it

I am sliding
I lose my breaks
The lights are blinding
The earth quakes
Now I'm lying
Will I die
Will they find me
Will they try

In my car to where you are
I won't make it
I can't make it
In my car to where you are
I won't make it
I can't make it

Doesn't matter about the time we make
Doesn't matter it doesn't shatter
If time we take
You know they're lost
While I'm dragging the cross
(If you sing along...)
And where you cross (If I scream...)

While they're washing they sins
(And we sing along...)
She sings, I do evil things
I need I strive (and we sing along...)
I bleed alive
(And we sing along... and we sing along...)

Dear God

(by XTC)

Costanza Francavilla :
Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you

Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
I can't believe

Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe

Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe

I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in

It's you

How High

If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don't fly
Don't swim don't grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran

I try to show you
But I don't know you
I try to know you
But I can't grow you

Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

Please you will move quick
You're making me real sick
No go no chnace
I don't slow I don't dance

I try to show you
But I don't know you
I try to know you
But I can't grow you

Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past
No time for rest separate
For the rest separate
For the rest now
Watch
See me how I fly fast
See me how I fly past

If I say jump jump
You say how high
Standing like a mannequin
Mannequins don't fly
Don't swim don't grin
Take it like a real man
Take it fake it
Then she ran

I try to show you
But I don't know you
I try to know you
But I can't grow you

What Is Wrong

Costanza Francavilla:
What is wrong with us
All we do is fight
Get out of my view
I'm not feeling right

I'm not feeling good
I don't think I should
Something's standing in your view
I'm standing next to you

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

What is good for you
Doesn't mean too much
What you think is true
I can't feel or touch

I can't feel or touch
I don't feel that much
What is wrong with you
You're standing in my view

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

What is wrong with you
All you do is fight
Get out of my view
I'm not feeling right

I'm not feeling good
I don't think I should
Something's standing in your view
I'm standing next to you

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me heavenly
Forever what does it mean

You and me

Hollow

Costanza & Tricky:
Doesn't matter about the time we take
Doesn't matter about the lies we make
Go slow

I think of how you're making me mad
I think of all the love we had
Feel so

Always question never quenching your thirst
Let me die when I lie to you first
I follow

When I'm with you it's from within
I know you can see through my skin
I'm hollow

I need you to feed me once more
I need you like I needed before
I'll grow

I'm floating I'm flying I'm dying
I'm floating I'm flying I'm dying

Tricky:
I said you needed like I needed before
Said you need me that you meet at five
You don't show I don't I''m alive
My pulse slow
My pulse slow

Costanza & Tricky:
I'm floating I'm flying I'm dying
I'm floating I'm flying I'm dying

Liz Constantine (opera vocals in the background) & Costanza & Tricky:
I'm floating I'm flying I'm dying
I'm floating I'm flying I'm dying

Moody

Tricky:
It's my world
It's my world

Tricky & Costanza:
Running
Breathing
Deceiving
Take and make
What you breath in
Know me
Show me
Hardly
No you can't A&R me

Costanza Francavilla :
I pretend I don't exist
I close my eyes and wish
Taste like liquorice
& sound so devilish
Slide across the floor
Move a little more
Take a sip & pour
I've heard it all before

Tricky & Costanza:
It's my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream
Make me skim
(2x)

Constanza Francavilla :
I'm feeling
Feeling
Craw across the ceiling
In the day mix
They play cheap tricks
I pretend I don't exist
Close my eyes and wish
My thoughts are devilish
My thoughts are just a wish

Tricky:
It's my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim

Tricky & Costanza:
It's my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim

Tricky:
It's funny how you feel
The eyes in your head
The brain and spine
Releases fluid when you're dead
Then you start to shed
Turning to something else instead
Something else was said
Someone else's sunset was red

Tricky & Costanza:
It's my world
Gonna take it now
Make it now
Make it shout
All this green
Gonna make me mean
Make me dream make me skim

Wait For God

Tricky:
If I came into your life
If I come to my life
The life was strange
We rely the same horse (but I think it's: We remain the same)
Set the pain, share the strain
252 stuck in the game
Girls that I smack, it's for my babe
Stuck in my life, stuck in my wife
Stuck in the scratch, she says she's dead
Waiting for God is very hard

Costanza & Tricky:
I wait for God and it's very hard
I am the lamb I don't understand
I drink your blood and I'm still thirsty
I wait for God and it's very hard

Costanza:
I'm stuck in the church
Stuck in the verse
Stuck in the words
Stuck in my nerves
Stuck in the wrong
Stuck all along
Stuck in the bars
Stuck in the cars
Stuck in the time
Stuck in this line

I'm doing fine
I'm doing mine
I'm reading signs
We're killing time
I'm stuck in time
Stuck in this line

Costanza & Tricky:
I wait for God and it's very hard
I am the lamb I don't understand
I drink your blood and I'm still thirsty
I wait for God and it's very hard

Tricky:
I wait for God I wait for Christ
I wait for wife
I wait for life
Tomorrow come
We feel the sun
Tomorrow come
We feel as one
The only God
The only son
Holy from the only one

Costanza:
We're on our own now we're fully grown
I'm all alone when I roam

Costanza & Tricky:
I wait for God and it's very hard
I am the lamb I don't understand
I drink your blood and I'm still thirsty
I wait for God and it's very hard

Where Im From

Tricky:
Damn bam
Read the lines
Bleed succeed
We design
I couldn't care less
It's a killing time
We're killing mine
you're feeling fine
Running (?) every time and every sign
every line and every crime
No snack, it bring you curse
No sweat, you like your worse
strange fruit ...
changing bombs into ear gums
Running (?) every time and every sign
Every line and every crime
Tricky & Costanza:

If you listen in then yes, you got
We want a company we're in

I don't really want to have a problem til' (?)

All I really want to do is make this clear
we do bleed you
so deceive your mind and nose

wosen grosen (?) to a dream

Hold it tight when cuts run deep
No one sees what you're hiding

The Lovecats

[ Originally by The Cure ]

Ah
We move like cagey tigers
Like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss

We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

Like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we talk
The way we walk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss

We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter
Bigger and brighter
Wider and lighter

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We missed you hissed the lovecats

Search Search Survive

Tricky:
Search search survive
Say you're lucky alive
You could be Aalyah
The grass is usually greener
Life is usually meaner
I'm like Ike I die for
I'd rather be released
Than controlled by the beast
It's not my fault
You're not a writer
Emotional exciter
You're not a writer

You're nobody
I do this for a hobby
The editor of Face
Well edit this place
Exit without trace
After we edit your face
You know I come in peace
Until the tension is released
You know I come in peace
Until the tension is released

Tricky & (Constanza):

Say you're lucky alive
(Sei tu fortunato e vivo)
You could be Aalyah

Life is usually meaner
(Ma la vita e piu meschina)
I'm like Ike I die for
(Io sono come Ike e muoio per)
I'd rather be released
(Preferisco liberato)
Than controlled by the beast

Back to: Tricky


Vulnerable is the sixth album by English trip hop artist Tricky released in 2003 on the Epitaph record label.

The main female collaborator on this album was the Italian singer Costanza Francavilla, a previous fan who approached Tricky at one of his shows and gave him a CD with songs. "On the 17th of December 2001, Tricky, one of Costanza's favourite artists ever, came to play in Rome," Costanza's Official site reads. "Costanza managed to give Tricky's drummer a demo CD (with 3 songs written, performed and produced by her). The day after Tricky called her asking to work with her the collaboration started."

In Spring 2002 she moved to Los Angeles to begin recording Vulnerable. During the summer 2002 her song "My Head" was part of Tricky's Blowback limited re-edition. In summer 2003, Costanza performed live on Tricky's "13" tour all around Europe (including the Glastonbury Festival and the London Meltdown Festival).

In fall 2003 the Back to Mine compilation dedicated to Tricky came out featuring Costanza's song "Desire" (written, performed and produced by Costanza).
