Massive Attack founding member Daddy G reworks 'Tether' with even more menacing dread - with additional production by Massive Attack engineer Robot Club.
Taking you back to the Bristol Sound of the mid-90s.
lyrics
I can’t take the safe route I’m always out the way
I can’t take the low route I got the right of way
I never take the short route but I cannot complain
I had to knock your lights out to see a brighter day
I just took the pain out when I went on a date
I just took the weight off my back and went away
Had to block the signal I’ve got the faraday
Had to knock the lights out to see a brighter day
He came round my way, ran out, he came and he saw
N**** start to violate, got hit he’s blaming his guard
In a winter climate get wet, it rains and it pours
In the valley of death, get split get cut with the saw
Held those back, shed a tear
On my better days I knew I’d make it out from here
All sounds nice, but I could not relate
Got the door closed in my face and I knocked anyways
Close door frames and I didn’t know but it could go both ways
Cut me loose and now I’m all riled up
Cut me loose and now I’m all tied up
All out, all out yeah there's no holds barred
Life in the ring has left me so so sad
She couldn’t find it, didn’t know what was lost
Trying to hold it but it’s falling apart
You still won’t let it out
Let it out
The shiver, tremble in the cold, the stutter
The step on a pavement, stone I wonder,
If they would ever take it wrong I wonder
The SS tank they make through the thunder
The rain, the piss, the spit in your throat, the dribble
The blood, the wine, revenge comes to those who hate it
A glimmer of hope, like dew as it beads on a pipe in
Digital Breeze, refreshing the page we tether
From skinning the scalps, two courses and fine wine, villa in the alps
Get your hand out your mouth
Get your hand out your mouth
Still walking a fine line, I’m clearing you out
From skinning the scalps, two courses and fine wine, get your hand out your mouth
Take me to places I never have been to before
On a spot on the map that ain’t familiar
Took it upon myself to fill up my lungs,
Cause the feelings inside of me getting me way too involved
The feelings inside of me getting me over involved
Weight on my back what carries me blind through the fold
Took it upon myself to fill up my lungs
Cause the feelings inside of me getting me way too involved

Just imagine if these outtakes made it into EATEOT, the project would've been over seven hours! I love how "I Might Be Vanishing" is a stark contrast from other tracks, being only nine seconds. 913GA
