You sure you want to be with me? I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best
Leave us in emotional peace (Hell is an emotional place)
Mm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of rest (taste sadness)
Don't want to be on top of your list,
Of never being properly kissed
We overcome in 60 seconds with the strength we have together.
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed.
And where there's trust there'll be treats
When we funk we'll hear beats,
Karmacoma
You and her walking through the suburbs
No, not exactly lovers
You're a couple, specially when you're body's double.
Duplicate and then you wait
For the next Kuwait (uwait).

Re-wording, in my opinion:
You sure you want to be exclusive with me? I'm not a player in it just for hot sex I won't lie and say I'm the best lay out of all the girls you shag Let's just forget the sex and work on our emotional relationship Go think about something other than sex - namely, me.
I don't want to be the best out of many (I want to be the only one) I don't want to be the number 1 girl who's kissed out of lust instead of love If we give in to our bodily desires we'll undo all of the emotional progress in sixty seconds But for now, you can't seem to do that so I'm not going to get involved And when you can handle trust (and a proper relationship) we'll have sex And it'll be mind-blowing
Karmacoma etc
You and any other girl can "be together" but it's not a true relationship You're only a couple when you're having sex Go ahead and "duplicate"(could mean having an oops baby or just the emotional/relationship consequences in general of sex) but that kind of relationship will be a disaster (like Kuwait) in the end
she clearly says "when we FUCK we'll hear beats"... clearly.
i think she meant it to sound as if it were both words, funk and fuck, like equating sex to a kind of dance between two people
i love tricky's beats ... but that's off topic.
"not exactly lovers, you're a couple, 'specially when your bodies double" - the relationship is all sex but they seem to always try to overcome the emotional aspect of their relationship; they both don't want to feel like they have a "monopoly" on the other person.
I am really not sure what this means but to me it sounds like the girl is totally into him but trying to play it cool because she knows he is a player. She is alluding to the idea that if he would stop sleeping around she might be with him again ( he will get treats and hear beats). She reminds him that their sex is amazing but she doesn't want to be one of many, even if she is on top of his list. She won't give him anything unless he changes (which we all know he won't). When she says leave us in emotional peace maybe it means she has his kid too? Just a wild stab. This song is so sexy and dreamy. Her voice is gorgeous.
when a relationship is intoxicating and strange because it's just arguing and sex.
i don't know how i should know this lol.
but the words are saying that things are better when there's trust and till then they should breathe.
definetly. she doesn't say 'funk'. i thought that was a cool line. music and emotion in one thing.
she does say funk!
I love this song...the distinctness of Tricky's and Martina's voice gives the song a really sensual vibe. Martina's voice is great. The rhythm is also really mellow and the "karmacoma" chant adds to the sensuality. I was given a massage while listening to this song and the whole sensation was almost exotic like. This entire record is awesome for "getting in the mood."
Most of the lyrics in this song are taken from Tricky's rap in Massive Attack's "Karmacoma".
she does.
