Stylo
Gorillaz · The Singles Collection: 2001-2011 [2011]
Power on the motherboard, yes
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Yes the lantern burns firm and easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the
Oh Stylo, go for blossom in your soul
When you know your heart is light
Electric is the love
When the mako flies up from the bottom in your eyes
Then I'll know the twilight skies are not so broken hearted
If it's love, it's electric
It'll be flowing on the streets
Night after night
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard
Right now
Sing yourself out of depression, rise above all recession
If I know your heart, electric is the love
There's only one way
Let it play a little while longer
It's got a way of passing through man and woman
In another world, in another world, in a universe
Right now
Here's what we got to do
If it's love, it's electric
It'll be flowing on the streets
Night after night
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard
That's what I'm talking about
Love, electricity, shockwave central
Pummel on the motherboard, yes
Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow
Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on
Yes the lantern burn, burn that easy
And broadcast, so raw and neatly
Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out
Right now

The recording highlights the group's ability to merge diverse musical influences into a cohesive sound, maintaining the playful yet introspective tone that characterizes much of their discography. As part of their extensive catalogue, Stylo exemplifies the collaborative spirit and genre-bending approach that has secured Gorillaz a unique place in modern music history.
