So you think you backed a winner? Got your finger firmly on the trigger You’ve got the handle, I’ve got the blade Guess it’s the price that I’ve had to pay But no regrets No remorse No looking back Nor forward No future No past It’s not real It won't last (it’s just a fantasy) It’s not that you didn’t want it Spent every waking hour dreaming about And now your given the chance You find yourself having to pass But no regrets No remorse No looking back Nor forward No future No past It’s not real It won't last (it’s just a fantasy) Oh no, now here we go again And I know, it seems we’re going round the bend And when you think you’ve turned the corner Just like lightning, I strike without warning But no regrets No remorse No looking back Nor forward No future No past It’s not real It won't last (it’s just a fantasy) So you think you backed a winner? Got your finger firmly on the trigger I’ve got the handle, now you got the blade Guess it’s the price that you had to pay But no regrets No remorse No looking back Nor forward No future No past It’s not real It won't last (it’s just a fantasy) Who backed the winner? Who backed the winner?

As the monkey climbs higher And the tree it gets thinner The further up he goes The more he’s exposed If you can’t be good Be careful And if you're wishing on a star Be certain Cause If your following fashion The strangest things can happen Is that the sound of you Crashing down to the ground?

I bought a brand new geansai I got it in Guineys They had it on sale It was the last one left Now I hope you like it Cause when I was buying it I had you in mind Even tho’ I know it’s the summer I’m still gonna wear it Then I went to London And guess what they sold me it was a brand new pullover it was a brand new pullover I said I think I like it To the man that was selling it But it’s not as nice No, It's not as nice As me brand new geansai I bought a brand new geansai I bought it on Monday I wore it all week It’s on me as we speak Even tho’ I know it’s the summer I’m still gonna wear it Then I went to London And guess what they sold me it was a brand new pullover it was a brand new pullover But It's not as nice As me brand new geansai

What they’re doing is clear Playing on peoples fears Where you come from your going back there They don’t like your type 'round here Olu Who you think you are Wanting what we have Where you come from your going back there They don’t like your type 'round here Olu Why you had to leave Causing no one grieve Where you come from your going back there They don’t like your type 'round here Olu

This is a song for my enemies so come closer, come closer This is a song for my enemies so come closer, come close Where I can see you, where I can see you They’d better get out their knives And sharpen them But wait, before they do I’ll take the shirt from off me back I can’t be doing with ruining it with blood, & sweat, & tears This is a song for my enemies So come closer, come closer This is a song for my enemies So come closer, come close Where I can see you, where I can see you I could be fooled, but then again I have no cause to question things Unless you operate that way It wouldn't cross your mind to say Hold on, hold on, hold on This is a song for my enemies So come closer, come closer This is a song for my enemies So come closer, come close Where I can see you, where I can see you I could be fooled, but then again I have no cause to question things Unless you operate that way It wouldn't cross your mind to say They’d better get out their knives And sharpen them But wait before they do I’ll take the shirt from off me back I can’t be doing with ruining it With blood, & sweat, & tears

I can’t stand it I can't stand all this hustle & bustle I should be out doing the Summerhill shuffle I’m in the kitchen frying chicken It’s too hot It’s too hot Then dicky donk fonk it Then dicky donk fonk it This pressure has got to stop Blood vessels about to pop Take it back to where it came It’s too cold It’s too cold Then dicky donk fonk it Then dicky donk fonk it Got to do what you got to do Asked for coddle when they ordered stew Can’t please them all the time It’s too hot Then dicky donk fonk it Then dicky donk fonk it

You know actions speak louder than words And all you know you have learned Like all religions around the world I feel Christians should be seen & not heard Talk the talk Don’t talk the talk If you won’t walk the walk won’t walk the walk Live clean Live clean
