Well, this is a Siouxsie and the Banshees cover. Apparently Tricky/Massive Attack admired them.
I love this song, and the original.
The lyrics are different from the original but I think thats because Tricky just sang the song as he heard it.
(it is a little tricky to make out the lyrics in the original song.)
Siouxsie and the Banshee's version:
When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door
Colour me
Tattooed on the inside
Slap your thigh, slap your calf,
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me
Something fierce along my spine
To scare the madman from behind
Fortify my arms with some snake-like lines
Colour me, colour me
Like a stomach split in half
By a surgeon's cutting art
Colours me, colours me, colours me
When you're sitting all alone
In the middle of the floor
There's something uncontrollable
As you sit there watching the door
Tattooed on the inside
A lonely feeling
Inoculating
Colours me
Slap your thigh, slap your calf,
Sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me
It gives a feeling of fear or paranoia? Kind of a creepy feeling. Like being watched, or watching somebody.
... thats all I got...
