I have the sudden urge to transcribe all I know of the lyrics to Trickys Hell Is Round The Corner right here. Right Now. I know Ill get some stuff wrong but I dont want to look it up. I just discovered that a friend of mine is a fan as well, and rather than blow up her fb chat further, Ill just dump it here. Lets see... just off the top, from memory alone: I stand firm for our soil, lick a rock & forth (?) Seduce me, seduce me, Dress me up in Stussy, Hell Is Round The Corner where I shelter is in the schism, Were livin helter-skelter, If you believe or deceive, common sense says you will receive, let me take you down the corridors of my life, And as we walk as we walk (work?) to your preference, no need to answer til I take further evidence, I seem to need a reference to get residence, a reference to your preference to say Im a good neighbor, I trudge, so judge me for my labor, that part of me ensures my good behavior. The constant struggle ensures my insanity. (something) needs ensures the struggle for my family, were hungry, beware of our appetite. Distant drums bring the news of a kill tonight. A kill which Ill share with my passengers.., We take our fill, take our fill, take our fill. And as I grow, I grow collective, Before the move, sit on the perspective, Mr. Cradle-in-the-crevice, and watches from the precipice. Imperial passage. Heat from the sun some day slowly passes. Until then, youll have to live widjyaself... Until then, youll have to live with yourself... Hell is Round the Corner where I shelter... etc.. My brain thinks Bomb-like... ///////// Man thats the jammmm... featuring the same Isaac Hayes sample (from Walk On By I think) which Portishead used in another excellent song around the same time (but Tricky wore it best) Id gladly show you the spooky soul-soulful video that accompanies it. Saturated in deep red, Tricky/Martina floating about some dark chamber seated in a mysteriously free-pivoting chair, their faces shake-morphing into one another... Bloody gorgeous... But Ive never found it on youtube. I wont even bother to look... Tricky is the truth. An artist in the truest sense. Yall should be up on that, but youre not. Like seriously, no one. Thats why I bugged out when I found out Christy Braham knows whats up. Thanks for confirming refined discerning taste elsewhere in the universe, Miss Braham.
