Plain talking (plain talking)
Take us so far (take us so far)
Broken down cars (broken down cars)
Like strung out old stars (like strung out old stars)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Served us so well (served us so well)
We traveled through hell (traveled through hell)
Know how we felt (oh how we felt)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Plain talking (plain talking)
Making us bold (making us bold)
So strung out and cold (strung out and cold)
I'm feeling so old (feeling so old)

Plain talking (plain talking)
Has ruined us now (ruined us now)
You never know how (you never know how)
Sweeter than thou (sweeter than thou)

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama
Lift me up, lift me up
Higher now ama

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la
Lift me up, lift me up
Oh la la la la

    Hum...I don't agree with the lyrics.... I think it's "plain talking" instead of " blind talking" and "Higher now am I" instead of "Aiah Nouwamba" !!! In the video, some of the lyrics appear on the wall behind moby....

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
