Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
From my head down to my toe
Say they suss me with that scorn
Dem want to see me bow
They want to see me stoop down low
But different people different views
So baby don't feel blue
'Cos what you send out will come back to you
And if there's a will
We will make a way (yeah)
The deepest valley the steepest hills
We will overcome
And all obtsacles
Will go up in flames (yeah)
'Cos natty rides again (yeah)
Nappy rides again
Oh nah baby don't you cry,
Put your head up high we be alright.
Oh nah baby don't you cry,
Put your head up high we be alright.
From my nappy head down to my clarks
Say they suss me with that scorn
But I wear my 4D glasses
So I can see right through their mask
And dem a wonder dem wonder dem wonder
How we get stronger get stronger get stronger
Yes dem a wonder dem wonder dem wonder
How dem just can't push we under that's why I say
Oh nah baby don't you cry, put your head up high
we'll be alright.
Oh nah baby don't you cry, put your head up high
we be alright.
If I had wings and I could fly I could spread them
Wide and rise up high
Your body language is like poetry so nice of shape yet still so free
You remind me of infinity, divinity you're unlimited.
My life has always been in thee it's either lovers or it's enemies.
'Cos there's nothing in between the line's so thin you know I mean.
You see there's this chemistry, I'm not a shy guy usually,
But when I feel your energy when ah penni you you penni me.
Mentally an physically and spiritually you're reflecting
Mmmh you make my life complete, yeah you are the rhyme for me.
You're motions are like melodies I'd be the perfect harmony
The third one would be our pikini who seal' up the chord, the trinity
The beauty is laying in between the lines of the three
Three in one one in three, oooh anyway.
I wanna lay with you on mellow beats
Cruise with you
Through ghetto streets,
With your baby I'll keep it real you fulfil my dreams
Fulfil my dreams
(Ooh if I had wings and I could fly I could spread them
Wide and rise up high)
Say they suss me with that scorn
Dem want to see me bow
They want to see me stoop down low
But different people different views
So baby don't feel blue
'Cos what you send out will come back to you
And if there's a will
We will make a way (yeah)
The deepest valley the steepest hills
We will overcome
And all obtsacles
Will go up in flames (yeah)
'Cos natty rides again (yeah)
Nappy rides again
Oh nah baby don't you cry,
Put your head up high we be alright.
Oh nah baby don't you cry,
Put your head up high we be alright.
From my nappy head down to my clarks
Say they suss me with that scorn
But I wear my 4D glasses
So I can see right through their mask
And dem a wonder dem wonder dem wonder
How we get stronger get stronger get stronger
Yes dem a wonder dem wonder dem wonder

Word Alive, The
This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
