my day begins a little late again
and i'm running out of time in which to make it in
an industry
that isn't in to me
but i ain't giving in
so easily
i've got a keyboard with a new beat on it
a new album but i'm gonna sleep on it
spend as long as it takes thinking deep on it
'cause i've got a name and i won't cheapen it
my mum still tries to stop me
saying music is fine as a hobby
i need to get a job why not be
a teacher
like her but
i'm the driver (driver), the designated driver
i'll give you a lift if you give me a fiver
it's called We Came Here Not For Gold
whack it on and we'll go for a spin yo
the Passman i'm back
chatting crap all over the track
relax man 'cause you're in safe hands
if i drop the ball i pick it up where it lands
i'm thinking about making plans but in the meantime
i'm drinking mild out the can
writing my name in the sand
in ten foot tall letters
breaking mic stands
and trying on cable knit sweaters
for tea you might find me
grating cheddar cheese over baked beans on toast
but come Sunday and i'm around my mum's for a roast
i'll maybe wear a sweater but she'll be like
'where's your coat?
if you don't wear a coat then you're gonna be cold'
i'm like, 'mum, give me a break i'm twenty eight years old
now bring me a nice slice of cake
like i told you five minutes ago
and where's the remote control?
'cause i wanna watch Flava yo'

yeah we’re doin’ it like you never knew it could be done
who else do you know that has this much fun
banging drum pads like it’s 1991
and going out of fashion mashing
Casio keys digital cymbals crashing
when all’s done and dusted
we’re gonna be bigger than Busted
before they busted
sweet like honey and
hotter than mustard
no I ain’t being funny
‘cause I’ve been to the year 3000
and people are still listening to Cosmic Sounds man
i’d like to welcome you to
our difficult 2nd album
who knew we’d be back
more hyped, more psyched
mics at the ready (ready)
Hedluv, Passman and Ed
we hold it steady (steady)
we’re holding it down for the Redruth crew
milling around town on a Saturday afternoon
like we’ve got nothing to do
in truth we’ve got a bunch
we just don’t be starting nothing ‘til after lunch
yeah i don’t be getting up ‘til after lunch
‘cause i’m doin’ it
i’m doin’ it dreckly
doin’ it
we’re doin’ it dreckly
doin’ it
we’re doin’ it dreckly
(i spend longer in the bathroom than Elvis Presley)
‘cause i’m doin’ it
i’m doin’ it dreckly
we’re doin it
we’re doin’ it dreckly
(i lost my remote down the back of the settee
didn’t find it for at week ‘cause i’m doin’ it)
it’s the way down ‘ere
way down ‘ere
we don’t do much in a day down ‘ere
i can’t get a job or get paid down ‘ere
but there’s no where to spend it anyway down ‘ere
that’s okay down ‘ere
i walk through a lovely landscape down ‘ere
that’s the pace down ‘ere
it’s country lanes, no motor ways down ‘ere
it takes as long as it takes down ‘ere
so i’m doin’ it
i’m doin it dreckly
when I drink tea it’s usually Tetley
i came from the 20th century
travelling at the speed of time
and I reckon that I might just make it in the nick of time
if they wait a minute at the finish line
and fall asleep they’ll get beat by me
the tortoise
but I’m doin’ it
like the chorus
dreckly
i’m doin’ it dreckly
dreckly
I’m doin’ it dreckly
dreckly
we’re doin’ it dreckly
when Ed’s on the mic he comes through correctly
it’s the E to the D
i’ve got it E to the Z
my maid made my bed
my mum made my tea
i’ve got it made
but 5 days a week
i’ve gotta get up early
to pay for my keep
up a ladder with a paintbrush
in a rush?
matter-do-e have a late lunch
i work for my father
though he doesn’t pay much
if I want a home of my own
i’m gonna have to save up
paper (paper)
so he’s doin’ it
he’s doin’ it dreckly
i’m doin’ it
i’m doin’ it dreckly
we’re doin’ it
we’re doin’ it dreckly
dreckly
are you doin’ it dreckly?
D.R.E.C.K.L.Y. means ‘later on’
it’s one Cornish dialect that still remains strong
which could be the reason why we take so long
luckily Hedluv and Passman are worth waiting for
we’re like miners mining
you’ve gotta put the time in
dig it out the grime
and it come up shining
ain’t no diamonds
this town was built on tin
‘cause you gotta have something
to put your baked beans in

believe me
you want one of these 'ere PC things
to make your life easier
burning CDs
that's a reason enough for me
'cause i'm a musician
that i want you to listen ta
so i'm on a mission ta
get in your head
like that game with the Rizla
and put my town on the map
or on Google Earth
and in your sat nav
take a photograph for the hell of it
take it home so you can develop it
pay a little more for the privilege
but at least this way you can pick 'n' mix
'cause it's the future
it's (it's) the future
get it all done on one computer
now you've freed up your time
you can put your feet up and recline
turn left
turn right
turn left
then go
right 'round the roundabout
you can read up online how to speak Dutch
find a good site, download some free stuff
learn how to make beats like me and such things like that
and get a recipe for pizza
well i used to love playing my Amiga
with the one meg expansion pack
the size of a lima
that's in the attic now with my box of memories
for the future
when i've got enough free time
to be swapping discs
every two ta
three minutes
like when i'm not on the phone
trying to fix my router
at the minute
i drive an automatic
and i'm telling you they're the future
you only need one foot to drive one
the other one i'm tapping to the tunes from
a stereo
we've got our very own show
when we hit the road
and we don't know where to go
we find out what the area code is
and type it into the route (route) planner
yo stereo
we've got our very own show
when we hit the road
and we don't know where to go
we find out what the area code is
and type it into the route (route) planner
it's the future
it's the future
just plug me in (in)
to a computer
so i can commute
on the Information Super Highway
Facebook
MySpace
take a look at my face
and tell me what you think
'cause you know i need to know
post me link
to that wicked video
pity though that
i won't be able to watch it
still living at home with my dad
and his computer is well shit
antiquated
running Windows '98
now that ain't the future
but you know it used to be
back in IT at Redruth Community
programming BBC Basic
on a 386
never would have anticipated
that we'd be making music
with the aid of a computer
in the future
the future
the future
turn left
turn right
turn left
then go
right 'round the roundabout
'round the roundabout
'round the roundabout
go 'round the roundabout
go 'round the roundabout
go 'round
turn left
turn right
turn right
turn left
then go
right 'round the roundabout

when it comes to the crunch
i'm a Crunchie
i pack more punch than a
KitKat Chunky
with peanut butter
there ain't no other
i get it crunk
like Cool Cutta
spread straight from the fridge
you can't believe this ain't butter
always swinging my wood
i never reach for the putter
my balls in the gutter
each and every time
i'm towing the line
an old school flow
a hype show
and dope rhymes
that's my M.O.
i carry plenty ammo
but you won't catch me rocking camo
i leave that to G.I. Joe and John Rambo
never go commando
zip too quick and you'll end up in an ambo
your manhood
hanging by a string
you won't be doing no banging
with your dick in a sling
we keep the beat banging
like a tambourine
yo it's Passman
and the Casio King
yeah you know
it's them two guys with the drum pads and the Casiotone
so come on
come check out our show if you fancy getting your mind blown
i'm a show off
i like to take my clothes off
come hard then i go soft
'cause i put my all in
i ain't yet ballin'
but i'm toppling walls like Berlin
with my wrecking ball swing
it's spectacular
i beat it up spread it smooth like a spatular
it's Redruth's most eligible bachauler
i'm Count Dracula
i stole your soul and i ain't giving it back to ya
how's that for ya?
i rap and all that for ya
a real hepcat
i break out a scat for ya
i'll rub your back for ya
i'll wear a hat for ya
and set off the rocket
i'm hot shit
take a ride in my cockpit
yes please no cheese on my wotsit
tastes like bacon
i'm salt 'n' shaking
i'm hot i'm baking
i'm icing your cake in
yeah you know
it's them two guys with the drum pads and the Casiotone
so come on
come check out our show if you fancy getting your mind blown
aw yeah
who could predict this would happen?
travelled through the rings of Saturn
and came back man
rappin'
reppin'
hevvy reppin'
never ever half steppin'
what do you reckon?
yeah you know
it's them two guys with the drum pads and the Casiotone
so come on
come check out our show if you fancy getting your mind blown

before you go to the pub
make sure
that you bring your gloves because
with everyone standing outside smoking
the likelihood they'll leave the door wide open is high
and you'll be left wondering why
you're sitting on your own when it's 'rolly time'
man it's freezing in here
and this atmosphere's lame
but at least my hair will still smell good the next day
whereas outside
they'll be having that debate
which Rizlas to use?
is it greens is it blues?
well, blues have got the glue if you're building one and passing it
but as to whether Cutters Choice has got glass in it
i don't know
but i wouldn't have thought so
it ain't the brand that i would have bought though
i know it ain't exactly weather for shorts
but once it is i'll be out here even more so
nothing brings people together like smoking can
and outside in the smoking gang
they're always talking about the weather and the smoking ban
can i borrow your lighter
how's it going man?
you know a bond as strong as a nicotine habit
can help keep a friendship tight for as long as i can rabbit
on
and i can rabbit on and on
until the crack of dawn
or at least until my baccy's gone
i started smoking got a nasty cough
my parents wanted to know why
i had to pass it off
something going 'round college at the time
which it was
we called it dirt bar
smoked it and it cost
only five pounds a teenth
divided by three
and five times a day
we'd wind up our dealer
a trip to the Spar would be on the cards
to pick up some pizza and chocolate bars
because we were (we were)
either (either)
smoking rollies or smoking reefer
and if it's gotta be neither
then half of us probably wouldn't even be here
nothing brings people together like smoking can
and outside in the smoking gang
they're always talking about the weather and the smoking ban
can i borrow your lighter?
how's it going man?
nothing brings people together like smoking can

how's it going man?
i should know better but i'll have a smoke anyway
even on the very day i say i'll give up smoking
i'm hoping that i'll give it up one day
maybe on monday
but not right now, yeah
i'll pinch the green bit from your Rizla packet
roll one up thin like a prisoner and tap it down
all the way down

flippers
03:28

|

i was looking forward to catching some waves
but now i'm just caught up
in the break water
plus i've got this lifeguard guy on my case
with his megaphone on
and he's going on
'stay between the flags'
but i'm flat on my face
and, 'it takes more than flippers
to be a good swimmer'
i guess i should've put 'em on
once i was in there
but i'm gonna make mistakes
'cause i'm just a beginner
it's getting embarassing
i think i might pack it in
but it gets easier
when i start backing in
i got a gold star
once for doggy paddling
when i was a youngster
but it just doesn't cut the mustard
when you're swimming in the sea
that's why i'll only go out up to my knees
nah
i might go a little deeper than that but
i'm happier if i can stand up
i've got some ham 'n' cheese sandwiches
my wallet, goggles and my keys
in my rucksack
somewhere safe where i can see from the sea
this kind of cold can cause your nut sack to retreat
you can't hang around when you're only kneedeep
your friends will splash ya
man they have ta
it's the rules and your balls they'll be after
so i would take a run up and dive in but
you might trip up
if you're wearing your flippers
i was looking forward to catching some waves
but now i'm just caught up
in the break water
plus i've got this lifeguard guy on my case
with his megaphone on
and he's going on
'stay between the flags'
but i'm flat on my face
and, 'it takes more than flippers
to be a good swimmer'
i guess i should've put 'em on
once i was in there
but i'm gonna make mistakes
'cause i'm just a beginner
i'm like a fish out of water
when i'm in the water
not like a fish
like i feel like i oughta
be
what with living so close to the sea and all
front crawl?
you must be jokin'
i'm attempting breast stroke
but i'm barely floatin'
just hopin'
that some of the energy i'm expendin'
will result in a little bit of forward momentum
at least
that was my intention
let's get some chips
climb the cliffs
find a seat looking out at the sea
i was on the beach once
looking out
and i saw a seal looking right back at me
looking right back at me
it was looking at me
that seal was looking at me
i was looking forward to catching some waves
but now i'm just caught up
in the break water
plus i've got this lifeguard guy on my case
with his megaphone on
and he's going on
'stay between the flags'
but i'm flat on my face
and, 'it takes more than flippers
to be a good swimmer'
i guess i should've put 'em on

Weird Nature

our two legged movement
is one of the oddest on the planet
we are weird
we are weird
nature
i've seen Planet Earth
narrated by David Attenborough
i've got the DVD boxset
so i can watch it
when i like while eating chocolate
i've seen Life in the Freezer
real edge of your seat stuff
there were penguins
getting eaten
made me think
i'm glad i'm not a penguin
(penguin)
our two legged movement is one of the oddest on the planet
we are weird
we are weird
nature
i've seen Life in the Undergrowth
a greenfly
up close
the inside
of a beehive
sitting
on my behind
cos i'm a human being
and i have seen things
like a mountain
made out of bat poo
pretty impressive but not a patch on what we can do
our two legged movement is one of the oddest on the planet
we are weird
we are weird
nature
from a birds eye view
through a fish eye lens
from the highest mountain
to the deepest trench
a lucky few have brought to millions
these images
that will live with us
i've seen the earth
from outer space
i've seen the hurt
the human race
has inflicted on it's seas
a polar bear
brought to its knees
our two legged movement is one of the oddest on the planet
we are weird
we are weird
nature

just write about what you know
so what do you know?
i don't know nothing
oh, what do you know
know about nothing?
just write about what
write about what you know
the next song i drop will be an instrumental
it's non stop and it's driving me mental
walking to the shops or driving in my benz all
the time i write rhymes i don't need a pencil
or a pad
i've got it all up here
and i've had
it almost up to here
but when i look back
over my year
i can see at least i wrote some good rhymes though
yo
sitting on the khazi it doesn't stop there
i'll be rappin' in my head, man, i'm rappin' everywhere
rappin' in my bedroom
tappin' on my leg to
the rhythm
got so many flows i don't know what to do with them
i'm in over my head
laying awake writing raps in my bed
i've got old lyrics doing laps in my head
man, i've gotta get them done so i can crack on with the next
i wrestle a track to the floor
then pin it
and ride around on it's back until it
kicks me off
lay it down and spin it
a hundred thousand times or more then bin it
if it ticks me off
this is quality control at it's limit
any more stringent
you wouldn't of heard a minute of
hedluv and passman
know when it comes to the flows we ain't half assed, we ain't
just write about what you know
so, what do you know?
i don't know nothing
oh, what do you know
know about nothing
just write about
write about what you know
then i'll write about nothing
you've got lyrics
i ain't got one
you drop bars
i ain't dropped none
you drive in your car
well i ride shotgun
you're like Sherlock Holmes
and i'm your Doctor Watson
well i'm down with that, man
the Robin to your Batman
you know i've got your back man
it's hedluv and passman
been best friends since school, man
i'm trying to write rhymes but rappers already wrote 'em all
sittin' on the settee
gettin' ready for my photocall
and anyway i ain't got nothin' to say
it's been the same since day one and i ain't gonna change
i speak in cliches and platitudes
but what i lack in imagination i make up for with attitude
i wanna be the raddest dude that you ever did see
reppin' the mic like in the west country
the best dressed sex pest in the south west
38 chest and i dress to the left
i rock a pair of short shorts
he's got no witty retort
i'm an athlete, man, and this is my sport
step off my tennis court cos i'm a smash it
get the Pat Cash and wreck it like Boris Becker
retiring replicants like Deckard
my soul is checkered
i bring the light and the darkness
and i've got infinite lives like Captain Jack Harkness
just write about what you know
so what do you know?
i don't know nothing
so, what do you know?
know about nothing
just write about
write about what you know
then i'll write about nothing
just write about what you know
what do you know?
