Lyrics for Song: Blue Lines 
Lyrics for Album: Blue Lines [1991]
  
               
  9724>Tricky
  You can be with the one you love or love the one you're with
  Spliff in the ashtray-we're strong but far too little
  Her touch tickles, especially when she's gentle
  But I don't hear words cos I saw the instrumental
  Keep the girl at a distance, moves are very hazy
  No sunshine in my life the way I deal is shady
 
 
  3d
  Skip hip data to get the anti-matter
  Blue lines are the reason why the temple had to shatter
  To the sound of silence surrounded by the mass
  Her face is on the paper not the strangers that I pass
  The ones that looking back to see if they are looking back at me
 
 
  Daddy g
  Are you predator or do you fear me
 
 
  3d
  You wanna do a medicinal
  The place I really wanna go
  The one I love but never gets near me
 
 
  Tricky
  It's a beautiful day, well it seems as such
  Beautiful thoughts means I dream too much
  Even if I told you, you still would not know me
  Tricky never does, adrian also gets lonely
  How we live in this existence, just be
  English upbringing, background carribean
 
 
  3d
  Sharing a soliliquy
  We cut the vocal drop the flexibility
  Walk a temper 'cause I'm rated comatose
  No sunshine in my life cos the way I deal is hazy
  Life from day to dazey cos I'm on my toes
  Mickey I'm a 3dsey sign away glazey
 
 
  Tricky
  It's a looking glass she's looking through
  She hated me, but then she loved me too
  I'd lie not try so I lost faith
  They turn to her to keep the faith
  She told me take an occupation or you lose your mind
  And on a 9 to 5 lemon, looking for the lime
 
 
  3d
  Box clever, watch your sister come together
  Crazy weather at the end of my tether
 
 
  Daddy g
  Massive in the area, murderer
  Attack are in the area, murderer
 
 
  3d
  Some go softly softly when I have a tat
  Ratchet in the right hand
  They got the one to stab it at
  Take a walk billy, don't be a hero
  Efforts are minimal they're almost at zero
  Excommunicated from the brotherhood of man
  To wander lonely as a puzzled anagram
  Carve me blue, green? brumma? and zinc
  Take it to extremities with purple and pink
  I feel the colours fill my room beneath the patter of the rain
  I can't stand the drops they're dripping down my windowpane
  They wash away my shadow and don't even leave a spark upon my soul
  They leave the rainbows in the dark
 
 
  Tricky
  Blues get big, massive are even larger
  Save no space into the tricky tardis
  Withdraw what I saw from down in darris hall
  People laying their claim
  In stormy weather it's rain
 
 
  3d
  But you're living on a see-saw
 
 
  Tricky
  I try to see more
 
 
  3d
  Somebody died, did he, no body
  Walking on sunshine, but still we're treading water
  The son of many reasons searching for the daughter
  Seeking knowledge, not acknowledging the jetset
  Sample babies soft sounds in my budakon headset
  The solar system watches in wisdom
  The children dance as the moonlight kissed them
 
 
  Tricky
  Massive attack not black up here or where I be
  Two hours traveling so I wrote this on my feet
  Always living fast, people getting jumpy
  Where on? gruggy? falls I do the walter crumpy
  Microphones held close, crouching far apart
  Take my piece of mind and sign my name across your heart
