  • When the photographs you're taking now
    Are taken down again
    When the heavy clouds that hide the sun
    Have gone
    The millions of us on the hill
    From the star to lands end
    When photographs you're taking now
    Are taken now, press send

    This is a precious opportunity
    Beware of the photographs you are taking now

    We are flying over black sands
    In a glass aeroplane
    Crashing in slow motion in another cityscape game
    Where the feeling is supernatural
    Like passing into other worlds
    We're ending this dissolution when the mother-ship it explodes

    When the photographs you're taking now
    Are taken down again
    When the heavy clouds that hide the sun
    Have gone
    The millions of us on the hill
    From the star to lands end
    When photographs you're taking now
    Are taken now, press send

    We were walking as zombies on over
    To the church of John Coltrane
    Arizona bus from sunset be freedom taking cocaine
    In the paints and chords of nature
    All is but a vanity
    And the metronome knows that defeats you is the monochrome that you seek

    When the photographs you're taking now
    Are taken down again
    When the heavy clouds that hide the sun
    Have gone
    The millions of us on the hill
    From the star to lands end
    When photographs you're taking now
    Are taken now, press send

    This is a precious opportunity
    Beware of the photographs you are taking now

    Photographs you are taking now
    Photographs you are taking now Writer/s: DAMON ALBARN, RICHARD RUSSELL
