The Harder They Come (feat. Nelly Furtado & Tricky) Lyrics
maybe love is not for me
maybe lovers dream things
that i dont dream
and maybe ohhhh maybe
maybe you were just a little boy
i stuck in you all the pride and joy
maybe i should set you free
the harder they come
the harder they fall
baby i would rather not go there at all
the harder they come
the harder they fall
baby i would rather not come here at all
[Tricky]
ohhh
the harder they come
the harder they fall
baby maybe i would rather not go there at all
the harder they come
the harder they fall
(repeat)
come here at all
come here at all
come here at all
come here at all
baby i would rather not
i would rather not
iiiiiii
would rather not
go there
ohhhhh
take me as your prisoner
maybe lovers dream things
that i dont dream
and maybe ohhhh maybe
maybe you were just a little boy
i stuck in you all the pride and joy
maybe i should set you free
the harder they come
the harder they fall
baby i would rather not go there at all
the harder they come
the harder they fall
baby i would rather not come here at all
the harder they come
the harder they fall
baby maybe i would rather not go there at all
the harder they come
the harder they fall
(repeat)
come here at all
come here at all
come here at all
i would rather not
iiiiiii
would rather not
go there
ohhhhh
take me as your prisoner

This is from Oakenfolds upcoming June 18th release, Bunkka. Lyrics by Nelly Furtado.
Oh Paul Oakenfold, you know me so well. This song reminds me so much of myself and my relationships.
What the hell does he say in his part??
This is what I got out of Tricky's part... most likely very wrong but I could definitely hear some of these lines:
[Tricky]
See you when you come around The harder they come You don’t see Because you don’t feel I scratch I bleed Here (uphill?) Somewhat loved Not true enough Harder you come More gently you shake It’s leaving blank The wish we make She can’t fly straight She has no wings Her favourite things Her favourite things Set me free Set me free She’s wrong breath Wrong time Wrong time Wrong song Wrong line Has no wings Has no wings ???? ????
Couldn't decipher the last two lines for the life of me... really great song though.
Just spent a good hour going over this song. Some of it is still incomprehensible to me, but here's my interpretation of Tricky's part:
See you when you come around. The harder they come. You don't see, 'cause you don't feel. I scratch, I bleed, hear our prayer. You suck my blood, we drew on love. The harder you become, the more gently you shake. It's late, we break the wish we made. She can't fly straight, she has no wings. The favour of things, her favourite things. Silly feelings, silly things. She's ... wrong platform, wrong time. Wrong time. Wrong song, wrong a while. Has no wings. Has and needs, the favour of things. The favour of things.
That's the best that I've been able to get from it. Where's Paul Oakenfold when you need him? :D
