Lyrics:
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in geordieland
We got work tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
We're the nomad tribes, traveling boys
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's English, Irish, Scots, the lot
United nation's what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German building, British-made
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Nae more work on Maggie's farm
Hadaway down the autobahn
Mine's a portacabin bed
Or a bunk in a nissen hut instead
There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn
And German tarts are wunderschoen
German beer is chemical-free
Germany's alright with me
Sometimes I miss my river Tyne
But you're my pretty Fraulein
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep work spirit levels high
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
I've got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices
Empty vessels of dreams so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
And I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
But I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
I've got my own moral compass to steer by
A guiding star beats a spirit in the sky
And all the preaching voices
Empty vessels of dreams so loud
As they move among the crowd
Fools and thieves are well disguised
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a stone in the river
Against the floods of spring
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
Like the willows in the wind
Or the cliffs along the ocean
I will quietly resist
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
And I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
I've got my own spirit level for balance
To tell if my choice is leaning up or down
And all the shouting voices
Try to throw me off my course
Some by sermon, some by force
Fools and thieves are dangerous
In the temple and marketplace, ayy
In the temple and marketplace
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
But I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
I don't have faith in faith
I don't believe in belief
You can call me faithless
You can call me faithless
I still cling to hope
And I believe in love
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
And that's faith enough for me
I, yeah yeah
Wicked, wicked awesome
Heaven again, again

So far out, never want it, to end
Hmm, so far out
Hmm I trust you, hmm I trust you trusting me
Mhmm

In the moment snap it, no pictures
Grown women get on the floor, phone in the purse
See their level, spirit I'm wanting, someone of a mature nature is in verse
In the moment snap it, no pictures
Grown women get on the floor, phone in the purse
See their level, spirit I'm wanting, someone of a mature nature is in verse
Heaven again, again

We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on a ferryboat
Economic refugees, on the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in Geordie land
We got our tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
We're the nomad tribes, traveling boys
In the dust and dirt and the wrecking noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's English, Irish, Scots a lot
United Nations what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German building, British made
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Nay more work on Maggie's farm
Head away down the autobahn
Mine's a Portakabin bed
Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead
There's plenty Deutsch marks here to earn
And German tarts are wundersch
German beer is chemical free
Germany's alright with me
Sometimes, I miss my River Tyne
But you're my pretty frylein
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep our spirit levels high
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Why aye man
Why aye, why aye man
Sometimes, I miss my River Tyne
But you're my pretty frylein
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep our spirit levels high
Sometimes, I miss my River Tyne
But you're my pretty frylein
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep our spirit levels high
Surrounded by his friends
He sits so silently
And unaware of anything
Playing poxy pinball,
Picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue at everything
I believe in love
But how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened
Only if he's cured
Will his spirits future level ever heighten
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was
Or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
I believe in love
but how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened.
Only if he's cured
will his spirits future level ever heighten.
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.
Surrounded by his friends
He sits so silently
And unaware of anything
Playing poxy pinball,
Picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue at everything
I believe in love
But how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened
Only if he's cured
Will his spirits future level ever heighten
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is
He doesn't know who Jesus was
Or what praying is
How can he be saved
From the eternal grave?
I'm gonna crack the rose colored glasses
Of every history revisionist
I'm gonna call them on their modified instances
Till they tell it like it really is
Just like you when you talk like you do
Well I can play too, delusion is cruel
That's the absolute truth
I wanna break the mold that grows on all remembrances
I want the story told like a spirit level balanced it
'Cause their looking through a pair of awful opportune lenses
Seeing only your side had its real advantages
And that's you, when you talk like you do
Well I can play too, delusion is cruel
That's the absolute truth
(I'm gonna crack the rose colored glasses)
Yeah that's you, when you talk like you do
Well I can play too, delusion is cruel
That's the absolute truth
That's the absolute truth
That's the absolute truth
That's the absolute truth

Keep work spirit levels high
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
I need a home in which to revel
I need a place to keep my spirit level
And I know the right guys
Cause I used to work in building supplies
Cramped in a humble abode
Concrete and steel by the wheelbarrow load
Fittings to choose, colour charts to peruse
I've got a trowel and I ain't afraid to use it!
As long as you give me my pay you'll get your moneys worth
I'll be there 8 hours a day I won't hide and I won't shirk
I got a way with a hammer and a nail a dovetail and a tongue and groove
Put up a wall in half a day guarantee it'll never move
Chorus
Shouda li li li dumb dumb a day honest work
I'm gonna build a strong foundation marble walls like grand central station
Not gonna feel any more frustration do enough work for an entire nation
Gonna get a chisel and an awl and a saw carve my name out on your door
A block and tackle and a spirit level take your heart of glass and put on a bevel
Chorus repeat
Got to build a strong foundation strong enough to hold up a nation
Strong enough to put your faith in the roof won't leak and the floor won't cave in
Gonna get a lathe and a capstan press take an old claw hammer to this mess
Gonna knock down the walls of denial wear 'em down with a pick and a file
Chorus repeat
OT present

I go spirit level Spirit level
Spirit level Spirit level
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Way that we say 'em in style that we write 'em in
Massive Attack we keep it strong just like a vitamin
Going for the positive wiping out the negative songs
'Cause brother it's relative
The pass is picking up all the lyrics on the dance floor
That raise your spirit level 'cause it demands for
Attitude is cool degrees below zero
Up against the wall behaving like De Niro
Tricky's performing taking his phono
Making a stand with a tan touch it like cocoa
Smooth to keep you moving at the back now
Free is the needle it's moving through the track now
Dance to the drummer's beats we need new sticks
Bounce around the vibes like acoustics
No drugs or pharmaceuticals for the body ain't suitable
Stick with liquid me and trick we've drop
A paper which you use my tongue to lick with
Trouble and strife ain't no sunshine in my life
Wiseguys get protection when they carry a knife
They shouldn't have been born they're making me yawn
But I just take it easy it's a Sunday morn'
So you come on light my fire and
Together we'll grow forever watch my eight kay rig go
Because my eight kay rig goes boom boom
My eight kay rig goes boom
Yeah rhymin' the jam and uh we got the stamina
In case you never know us if we don't give a damn and uh
And it's hard to handle keep your distance
Resist and the posse gets the pleasure of this dance
The cool breeze that you welcome in the heat
You don't see it but you feel it when it's blowing on the street
If I was a rich man
Da da dada
I quietly observe standing in my space
It's the devious days they call the rat race
It's a concrete jungle, evil in the town
Weebles, wobble, occasional squabble
But what happen when the bomb drops
Down
Don't make sound
'Cause the dance floor's a desert
And the dancers are parched
Do a rain dance and your brain's still marsh
My heavy my brother get lighter than helium
Float above the world to break the tedium
Living in my headphones Sony's what I say to 'em
The surreal boom of the budokan stadium
Well I'm floating on air when I'm daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Well I'm tricky kid don't deal with sadness
Can't be with the one I love I love the one that I miss
I'm very down to earth but brain sits on top floor
Don't need another lover just need, I'm insecure
The weather is a changin' the storms be shakin'
The love that you take is equal to the love you're makin'
Here comes the sun little darlin' here comes the sun
It's alright
Yes Tricky kid I check my situation
Maggie this Maggie that Maggie means inflation
Hip-hop you don't stop cause I'm not sloppy
I like the beat so we need another copy
We're natives of the massive territory and we're proud
Get peaceful in the dance, adapt the glory and the crowd
The problem ain't a different kind of skin tricks
I love my neighbor I don't wait for the Olympics
See you go hooligan you're trying to play the fool again
Caught you in the lost and found
When your posse weren't around
No crowd
So you're going for you tool again
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
Well I'm floating on air when I'm daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming
I quietly observe standing in my space
Daydreaming

Keep it down deep
I'll be the venerator
Stop what you know
I'm the instant gator
And I know it's never getting better than this
So what's your spirit level?
Kick it swiftly
Hit me with the revelator
Give it up
You know I'll incinerate ya
And you know it's never getting better than this
Spirit Level
Woah
We had no way of staying afloat
We had to leave on the ferry boat
Economic refugees
On the run to Germany
We had the back of Maggie's hand
Times were tough in Geordieland
We got wor tools and working gear
And humped it all from Newcastle to here
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
We're the nomad tribes, traveling boys
In the dust and dirt and the racket and the noise
Drills and hammers, diggers and picks
Mixing concrete, laying bricks
There's english, Irish, Scots, the lot
United nation's what we've got
Brickies, chippies, every trade
German building, British-made
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Nae more work on Maggie's farm
Hadaway down the autobahn
Mine's a portacabin bed
Or a bunk in a Nissan hut instead
There's plenty deutschmarks here to earn
And German tarts are wunderschoen
German beer is chemical-free
Germany's alreet with me
Sometimes I miss my river tyne
But you're my pretty Fraulein
Tonight we'll drink the old town dry
Keep wor spirit levels high
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Why aye man, why aye, why aye man
Hook:
Me and you no level
Me and you no level
Hmmn hmm with a spirit level,
Hmmn hmm with a spirit level X2
Verse:
Life is a journey so much more than a magazine
But I got a picture pinned on my cv
You know, me and my team we no fugazi
Put in my focus on a mission
When I'm walking, destination!
Spirit Level Lyrics
Sick sick
That's not happening
I believe in love
But how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened.
Only if he's cured
Will his spirits future level ever heighten.
And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
He doesn't know who Jesus was
Or what praying is.
The Compressor
Testo: Domenico Sacco
Musica: Domenico Sacco
Too much dynamics on my master
Too much difference between the sounds
I need a way to get along
Need a solution 'cause it's so wrong
Here comes compressor
To fill the gap
A spirit level
Above the earth
Here comes compressor
To change our lives
It snaps it's fingers
And make us alive
So too much difference in sexual taste
Is still an offence to our Lord
While someone kills his brother
For too much difference in skin tone but
Here comes compressor
To fill the gap
A spirit level
Above the earth
Here comes compressor
To change our lives
It snaps it's fingers
And make us alive
Troppa dinamica nel mio master
Troppa differenza tra piano e forte
Tra chi ha tanto e chi niente
Tra la vita e la morte
Here comes compressor
To fill the gap
A spirit level
Above the earth
Here comes compressor
To change our lives
It snaps it's fingers
And make us alive
No more depression
No more depression
Here comes compressor
And feel alive
Spirit level
(spoken intro)
Tune into another dimension,
Layers upon layers,
From good to bad,
From strong to weak,
Here lie the spirit levels.
Spirit level, level up.
Pas d'négatif.
For real, reste chill et level up.
