I need sugar
I need a little watersugar
I get thoughts about you
and the night it wants me like a little lost child
locked in a safe place
lookin out the window
the dark move fast past the window
the dark on the other side of the locked door

- expected early in the mornin'
rising in the morning stopped to you
beneath the feet of the city

when you're gone you take your century
telephone breath between us
the whole world is between us
only these wires
dust between the wires
and the green grass
in the distance
i am your tourist
- expected early in the mornin'
- expected early in the mornin'
moving in brilliant timing...
- i search for this spot then find you fellas hangin around at the same
stump...and you're right there with 'em
- well, i've never fished here, but i caught beaucoup fish in reverend
burton.
- i never did catch fish here

Jumbo - Underworld
Underworld's 'Jumbo' stands as a defining track from their 2012 compilation 'Collection,' showcasing the group's enduring ability to blend electronic textures with atmospheric depth. Released alongside other significant works from their discography, including tracks from 'A Hundred Days Off' and the 'Isles Of Wonder' opening ceremony soundtrack, the song exemplifies the band's signature style of merging industrial rhythms with melodic sensibilities. The recording reflects the evolution of their sound during the early 2010s, maintaining the complex layering and dynamic shifts characteristic of their broader catalogue. As a staple of their live performances and studio output, 'Jumbo' remains a powerful representation of Underworld's contribution to the electronic music landscape, capturing the tension and energy that defines their artistic identity across decades of recording.
