Take It There Lyrics

Lots to lose where users use
Skinny don't fuss it kills [?]
(Lots to lose)
Rub it down again where the pain still sticks on the grey licks
(Lots to lose)
Sticking out your tongue it's a hot red light suck it in

I'm out there, it's heavy though
I bring my voice, yeah it's slim
I need a fix, you call the tricks
I'm the one, to hear the tune
We collide, I [?]
She's with me, we share the pain
Treat the girl, like licorice
She's so soft, and ticklish

I'll take you there, you take your time
([?])
I'll take you there, you take your time
I'll take you there, you'll lose you mind

I'll take you there, you take your time
([?])
I'll take you there, you take your time
I'll take you there, you'll lose you mind

My coordinates could be any voice cracks
Slipped down your footsteps all my boys roll my slip jobs wet
(Lots to lose)
Slip job and insurgency make the world safe for you and me

Got simple plans for special ways
Got push to grit for lonely days
Needs are met, trees are bloom
I'm the one to hear the tune
I meet you there, meet you soon
I meet you there, and give you breath
Take you there

I'll Take you there, you take your time
([?])
I'll take you there, you take your time
Take you there, you'll lose you mind

I'll take you there, you take your time
([?])
I'll take you there, you take your time
I'll take you there, you'll lose you mind

Cover art for Take It There lyrics by Massive Attack

Hmmm. I'm a huge fan of this site and I love lurking and contributing where I can...

But

I submitted theses lyrics, and I'm disappointed to see that my submission has been replaced with a verbatim copy of the lyrics on Musixmatch/LyricFind, which (as I hear them) are inaccurate.

I understand lyrics are © and laws trump everything, but what I hear differs from what appears above. I submitted my interpretation of the lyrics.

I use Spotify, so I don't get liner notes. Maybe the official™ lyrics are out there and I just don't know about them? (I know Spotify is integrated with Musixmatch -- but Musixmatch takes submissions from its community, which I am also a part of, and are also often inaccurate. To boot, their integration has been down for weeks now).

I listened to this track dozens of times on headphones with the volume cranked and EQ doing its best to isolate the vocals, while typing out the verses. While I can't decipher everything (3D and Tricky singing over each other for example), I feel inclined to post my original submission below for community consideration.

This may seem trite - and it's absolutely nothing against the mods (I believe I'm following all submission guidelines, if not please PM me) - I'm really just trying to contribute to the site, and (maybe) get some help deciphering the FULL lyrics (3D and Tricky singing together mostly) -- and to read what others have to say about this amazing track.

Folks, if you can help fill the gaps, please do -- that's what it's all about :) I'm super-jazzed about this EP and their hopefully-inevitable forthcoming album, especially if Tricky is on more tracks. Been listening to Massive Attack since '91 and their music has been a tremendous influence and 'pseudo-soundtrack' to my life.
