  • The baby was born
    Nettles and ferns
    The evening it chokes
    The candle it burns
    This disguise covers bitter lies
    Repeating the joke
    The meaning it dies
    Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave
    I'm letting you know
    I know what you need
    I'll turn you around
    This beautiful town
    And then you'll believe it when your eyes then deceive you

    It's easy, don't let it go
    It's easy, don't let it go
    It's easy, don't let it go
    Don't lose it

    It's getting colder outside
    Your rented space
    They shadow box and they paper chase
    It never stops
    And we'll never learn
    No hope without dope
    The jobless return
    The bankers have bailed
    The mighty retreat
    The pleasure it fails
    At the end of the week
    You take it or leave
    Or what you receive
    To what you receive
    Is eternited leave

    It's easy, don't let it go
    It's easy, don't let it go
    It's easy, don't let it go
    Don't lose it

    Incandescent light at doors
    In adolescent menopause
    In little clicks you got the music stops
    The needle sticks and the penny drops
    The summer's gone before you know
    The muffled drums of relentless flow
    You're looking at stars that give you Vertigo
    The sun's still burning and dust will blow
    Honey scars I'll keep you near
    Our blood is gold nothing to fear
    We killed the time and I love you dear
    A kiss of wine we'll disappear
    The last of the last particles
    Divisible invisible
    The last of the last particles
    Divisible invisible Writer/s: Damon Albarn, Grantley Evan Marshall, Neil Davidge, Robert Del Naja
