You've got to check it; one, two, three - stop fretting. I'll save you from the clutches of the music cretins. I'm kicking back. Don't get me wrong I'm proud though - kicking round the beats just like Ronaldo. Live, when there's a vibe going on - like when you see a face, or when you hear a song that reminds you of a particular time when everything was cool, and everyone was fine. Redesigned - a distant memory. Beam yourself down to this place in time with me. Crack a beer, hear the people all give a cheer. Sincerely hope 'cause it's the time of the year. We all toke - I know you do too - forbidden fruits are from the Queen of Voodoo. My lighter's got rhythm if you know what I mean - you see the flames dancing but it's nothing but a dream. Themes of endless superstition, seven little spoons all taking up position. Ozone mending, reflex bending, check the Spoon Wizard 'cause the story's never ending. Trade it, get a good result and then take it - no one ever knows unless you try to fake it. Got it to tease us, difficult to please us, take away the facts and where does it leave us? In a spin - Spoon Wizardin' - feeling like I don't care what the fuck it is the state I'm in. If you see the next episode, be nothing there 'cause you'll be mine - keep you on your toes. We stop for nothing, seven in line, a suitable production - read the signs and come in from the cold. Redesigned, or so we've been told.

Come along high. Wha ya say? Hello. Particularly fine. Slick, but yet mellow. People on hold but never to busy - doing as you're told. Shake it up, shake it up, shake it up, we get fizzy. Will you get paid? Under no illusions - money for the others blinds you with confusion. Promises, promises, promises, yeah - whatever. Leave me high and dry? No fucking way, never. Coz we're so strong - got the people all around standing up together so we can't be brought down. Got ya involved coz we love you for your gift. Over all, as a collective this it multi-talented. Been away, came home, find you're back just where you started. Maybe be wiser, maybe a little jaded. Either way, what ya say, leave them all standing. Looking over shoulders, yes? Rightfully demanding. Learning what we need. Living standards. Between us - chemistry. She leaves me dumbfounded. Note the reverse means to merge, to merge inside of me. Making matters worse, worse body urge thrives me. Taking it over to my free side - let it ride. Someone, somewhere decide. You try my patience so I'm keeping clear. My fear. Easy to control every one thing, everywhere. Slowly getting old. Left my mind in. Hold back, need a little space - too in my face - let me breathe. Breathe, Human race. Left no trace. Wouldn't ever know we were there, except for the music deeds done. Any time where, look for the final gesture. Clicking the reverse. Natural urge. My destination your last word. What ya heard ain't true.These are breaks through which you take your body. I'm sorry - did I hurt you? Hurt you - sorry, did I hurt you? Never need anyone so you can't desert me. I'm used to slaving. Depraved. Still claiming. Got to get to something. Making no sense. Dreams raining down. Shoot you like a star, like a star going too far to the darkest corners. Explorers of the brain. All the same you're accused of doing nothing, but it ain't true. See through you to the other side. Getting so creepy that you can't hide.

Here we go again - still stepping up the beats. But it couldn't be done without the big J.B. I remember when he played bass on the records, and he always dropped a note just to make it sound better. Paulie played the drums but he couldn't keep the time, so we bought a set of decks - started mixing up the rhymes. I can play guitar, sure - that's no trouble. But when I start to sing I sound like Barney Rubble. Started pressing buttons - getting with technology -- no one knows more about that than Johnny B. If we come across a beat for you to jump to, we can make a loop from here to Timbuktu. Kick a big dipper in the lop left corner - Pozzy and his Fozzy they said, "You know you wanna." It takes time - got to walk a fine line like a monkey - swinging up there on the vine. Always running hot - you could say we smoke a lot - but we never slow down. Never gonna lose the plot. Take a trip down to the South West area, cause a bad vibe and you know we're gonna stare at ya. We ain't lazy but you could say we're mellow - ask J. B. he's the slowest type of fellow. But we don't care. Kicking round down here. Got the so nice sounds always ringing in the ears. Making tunes. You know it never came so easy. Every time I drop a rhyme you want to be me. So kick back, get your head relaxed with the Skating Holmes beats never been so phat. No point waiting for the time to come around - might as well let go; get your body unwound. I'm a monkey looking out to get a good swing. If you're all coming with me; let the beats begin.

Make no mistake - if you're ever going to get it straight - me and the Holmes and the Wizard's here to infiltrate. Part of something made up from inspiration, motivation. Deportation if I stay too long. I'm wasting in a frame: Pigeon hole'd and lame. Why we keep it moving - why we split the grain. Like a bigger picture. Between us we deliver different styles of pleasure. Before you reconsider one slick move, don't put it to the test because you'll lose. Some will reinvent this in your mind - you can ferment this. Lyrical spells. I'm the Wizard's apprentice - accomplice - with rhymes for you to get with. Make you feel just right. Pushing further through the night. Dedicated to the people 'cause we're so damn nice. New direction, don't fear or fight rejection. Skating Holmes, Spoon Wizard's on the overall projection with ease. Nothing but a dance floor tease. Someone's got to stop it before we let it be. I can see good times ahead for you and me - everyone make a note: what it is you want to see? We'll take you there - no trouble, free ride. People let me tell you, gotta hold your head high. UK streets where we feel it inside. Dream scenes, the means like no one ever told you. Make yourself busy. Coming through. We've got to hold you mesmerised in the palm of my hand, like pressurised as the beats expand. Your time. Feel free. Deep freeze: rewind. Your time. Deep freeze: rewind.
