Rolling Blackouts

The Go! Team Rolling Blackouts Lyrics
1.T.O.R.N.A.D.O.

Lyricist:Stuart Douglas Bogie, Nkechi Ka Mmaku Egenamba, Aaron
Johnson, Ian David Parton

It's the T-O-R-N-A-D-O
It's the T-O-R-N-A-D-O
It's the prototype
It's the double strike
From the get go

It's the T-O-R-N-A-D-O
It's the T-O-R-N-A-D-O
It's the prototype
It's the double strike
From the get go

My head's in check, my word is legit
I got three wishes on a two way split
Game ready, rock steady forever
Your fire we're down for whatever

Major praise and don't delay
When I sashay I take motorcades
I mean it more than anyone
I'm sweet on the beat and I keep it lo' slung
I'm sweet on the beat and I keep it lo' slung

Get your treats from streets and chaos galore
And mayhem, better brace yourself for it
We're the troopers on parade
We're the cream in the green berets

Making like we're professionals
If the cheques too low, move the decimal
'Cause I know my aspect ratio
From the get go

It's the T-O-R-N-A-D-O
It's the T-O-R-N-A-D-O
Its' the prototype
It's the double strike
From the get go

Jump, jump, you can catch me on the fly
Jump, jump, watch me amplify
'Cause blowing amps is the master plan
So shake the ceiling and wave your hands

There's steel on the reel for the mass appeal
Got an elegant way and it's all for real
Hold tight like title holders
We're the ringside holy rollers

Getting down to the nitty-gritty
Took the G I sound 'til the music hit me
So, step it back, the battle's won
I'm sweet on the beat and I keep it lo' slung
I'm sweet on the beat and I keep it lo' slung


2.Secretary Song

Lyricist:Eddie La Shea, Ian David Parton, Piero Piccioni

Go, go, a go, go, a go, go
Go, go, go

Start the day for something
Start the day at seven ten
Waking for a living
And the pattern starts again

It's Avenue B, change at Tennessee
Before the city begins to swell
At seven two four on the second floor
Is where the telephone has my bell

Echo, echo, echo down the wire
I can see, I can see, nothing else to be
I can see, I can see, nothing else to be

Only seven letters
Only seven hours to go
I begin to wonder now
If there's still a place below

I file it away, handing in the tray
So I can only be who I am
Eleven fifteen, tapping the machine
Until the calender starts to jam

Echo, echo, echo down the wire
I can see, I can see, nothing else to be
I can see, I can see, nothing else to be

Oh, talking about, oh, walking about
We'll go back to the sea
And find what I'm about

Oh, but I'll never be someone again
Oh, 'cause it happens all over again tomorrow

Hit it, get it, make it, shake it
Hit it, get it, make it, shake it

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go, go, go, go
Go, go, go


3.Apollo Throwdown

Lyricist:Ian David Parton

It's not up to me, it's not A13
It's not the Circle K at the top of street

I know, it may seem debonair
But there's time on the line that we just can't spare
Hold up everybody, put it all on ice
Gotta feeling on the mic that's twice as nice

Gotta cope with the dope by cutting soap
So turned on livin' out my horoscope

No one can do it like we can
We take the stand with a master plan
We are the educated, motivated
Skin tight, rawhide, hardworkin'
Blood sweatin', hollerin', your world wreckin'

Ladies of eighty three
Ladies you want to be
We're not the first but that matters least
'Cause there's free rough justice for the masterpiece

I said, a panther is what a cougar ain't
What a royal wants to be, what a hustler can't
What the ladies like, what the fellas love
What U.L.C. can't get enough of

I said now walk like a panther
I said walk like a panther?
What the ladies like, what the fellas love
What U.L.C. can't get enough of

We got no second chance, we got a soldier's stance
We got the thrills in our skills that you can't advance
Never gonna get ninety nine percent
My get up and go just got up and went

So unrelenting, pay strict attention
My mind is heading in the right direction
More hits than bazooka smooth
Our guarantee is we can move

Our Q and A don't ricochet
We make the play with a double A
We are the educated, motivated
Skin tight, rawhide, hardworkin'
Blood sweatin, hollerin, your world wreckin'

Ladies of eighty three
Ladies you want to be
We're not the first but that matters least
'Cause there's free rough justice for the masterpiece

I said, a panther is what a cougar ain't
What a royal wants to be, what a hustler can't
What the ladies like, what the fellas love
What U.L.C. can't get enough of

I said now walk like a panther
I said walk like a panther
What the ladies like, what the fellas love
What U.L.C. can't get enough of

I got, rockets to the left of me, bullets to the right of me
Flames to the back of me, spark the TNT
Cobras to the left of me, vipers to the right of me
We're the G- O T-E-A-M

Oh oh, double O- P
Oh oh, double O- P
We say, you say, you say we fly
You're the ones we notify

I said, a panther is what a cougar ain't
What a royal wants to be, what a hustler can't
What the ladies like, what the fellas love
What U.L.C. can't get enough of

I said now walk like a panther
I said walk like a panther
What the ladies like, what the fellas love
What U.L.C. can't get enough of

One, nine, one, three
You know you wanna be like me
One, nine, one, three
We gotta life to set free

One, nine, one, three
We gonna shake the AKG
One, nine, one, three
You wanna bring it back like me
Yeah, yeah


4.Ready To Go Steady

i got a feeling and the feeling's new
now its a funny thing and it concerns you
it may seem like a hurry but its overdue
you see
i know we're only at our second date
but this time something tells me that i cannot wait
i'm not so good with words so let me tell it straight

yeah we only just met
but i'm ready to go steady
haven't seen your place yet
but i'm ready to go steady

if you don't know how
i do
try a different avenue
when it hurts this bad it could never come too soon

its not the kinda thing thats slowly grown
its like i've found somebody that i've always known
a voice i recognise right down to the bone
now baby
if i can make it i can't guarantee
but theres a chance you might feel the same as me
so i just need a reason whats it gonna be?

all the answers are changed
now i'm ready to go steady
all the mysterys explained


cos i'm ready to go steady

if you don't know how
i do
try a different avenue
when it hurts this bad it could never come too soon

(talking section)

you see
a day is a long time when you're alone and even if
there's a ghost of a chance thats enough
i learnt my lessons the hardest way but this time the
story is true it just hasn't happened yet

all the answers are changed
now i'm ready to go steady
all the mysterys explained
cos i'm ready to go steady

if you don't know how
i do
try a different avenue
when it hurts this bad it could never come too soon
hurts this bad it could never come too soon


5.Bust-Out Brigade

(Instrumental)


6.Buy Nothing Day

nothing came today
nothing will tomorrow
no-one took the system cos the world was out of
bounds
action is a strategy theres just no getting round

but i would never lose my head tonite
and i would never lose my head tonite

cos when its
all coming back
kickstart the motor
circle the track
over and over

we don't plan it all
cos making it up is so natural
we don't know for sure
but this is the law
we'll never come back here tonite

running out of luck
running out of money
running for the subway isn't gonna make it, girl
won't start revolutions but we're giving it a whirl

and i would never lose my head tonite
and i would never lose my head tonite


cos when its
all coming back
kickstart the motor
circle the track
over and over

we don't plan it all
cos making it up is so natural
we don't know for sure
but this is the law
we'll never come back here tonite

cos when its
all coming back
kickstart the motor
circle the track
over and over
all coming back
kickstart the motor
circle the track
we'll never come back here tonite

and i would never lose my head tonite
and i would never lose my head tonite


7.Super Triangle


8.Voice Yr Choice

Lyricist:Syl Johnson, Ian David Parton, Marvin Smith

It's the rock star sound
Miss Unique, I'm the bouncing bomb, can't just get me down
Finger snapping like a thunder clapping
Here comes the whack, so we can bring it back

TNT, the killer bee
Use the voice, you made the choice
I got no trophy to introduce
But I'm willing and able to shake it loose

It's gotta be rear locking, show stopping
Sassy, free, sophisticated, super rocking
Name taking, earth quaking, record breaking
No mistaking, it's mind shaking, in the making

It's a walk and a way of thinking
Shake your hips from left to right
It's a bell and I need to ring it
To spark the dynamite

I have no brain, I'm going down
I guess some heads were made for crowns
Bad to the bone, yeah, bad in the gang
You hold me to Tampa, trying to play my thing

I'm a rock star, baby
Miss Unique, I'm a such a lady, lady
In the club with my Grey Goose
Yeah, I'm crazy, I'm his lady
Pretty pink Mercedes

Low fidelity, rear locking, show stopping
Sassy, fresh, sophisticated, super rocking
Name taking, earth quaking, record breaking
Pass it back so we can take the whack

It's a walk and a way of thinking
Shake your hips from left to right
It's a bell and I need to ring it
To spark the dynamite

You know you would never be me, oh you know
In the lineup I'm living pretty and beyond
You know what that is paradise
Rock star angel, I'm a lucky strike, yeah

TNT, the killer bee
Use the voice, you made the choice
I'm shaking up the underground
'Cause I'm willing and able to break it down

It's money on my mind, money, money on my mind
Zip me up, hon, I think about you all the time
And one thing, Miss Unique is underground
And one thing, Miss Unique is underground, yeah

It's gotta be rear locking, show stopping
Sassy, free, sophisticated super rocking
Name taking, earth quaking, record breaking
No mistaking, it's mind shaking, in the making

It's a walk and a way of thinking
Shake your hips from left to right
It's a bell and I need to ring it
To spark the dynamite

You know you would never be me, oh, you know
In the lineup, I'm living pretty and beyond
You know what that is, paradise
Rock star angel, I'm a lucky strike

TNT, the killer bee
Use the voice, you made the choice
I'm shaking up the underground
'Cause I'm willing and able to break it down


9.Yosemite Theme


10.The Running Range

Lyricist:Ian David Parton

We got the rally on the run
Now people show us something we can do
Got the message, got the gun
We're not the kinda girls he gives into

So we say it's alright
Say it all the time
Say it's alright
Say it all the time

We got the people in the know
We got the guarantee to get jumping
Got the feeling, got the flow
So now we really talk about something

And we say it's alright
Say it all the time
Say it's alright
Tripping on the line

Going for the distance
Going for the speed
Going for the motion
But we never know what's real

Across the divide
'Til they decide
They're gonna set you free

We put the meaning in the world
We put the fire in the connection
Got them bringing on the turn
And never take a different direction

Now we say it's alright
Say it all the time
Say it's alright
Say it all the time

We got a million on the line
We got the kinda thing you can't let go
Made it better by design
And set the strategy from the get go

Now we say it's alright
Say it all the time
Say it's alright
Tripping on the line

Going for the distance
Going for the speed
Going for the motion
But we never know what's real

Across the divide
'Til they decide
If they're gonna set you free

Say it's alright
Say it all the time
Say it's alright
Say it all the time

Going for the distance
Going for the speed
Going for the motion
But we never know what's real

Across the divide
'Til they decide
If they're gonna set you free
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight


11.Lazy Poltergeist


12.Rolling Blackouts

over the range
the secret is what we became
now only the secret remains

don't settle on me now
the cover is blown with a touch
we go when they're asking too much

got a history and its catching up
crossed the nation like a rolling blackout
got the mystery but its not enough
ain't a prison but you'll never get out

realise
staying over is yr only prize
now i know
some forget...
but i don't

the road before us
we move on and never let out
the things we had whispered about

back to the mirror now


theres nobody left to defend
its here that my loyalty ends

got a history and its catching up
crossed the nation like a rolling blackout
got the mystery but its not enough
ain't a prison but you'll never get out

realise
staying over is yr only prize
now i know
some forgive...
but i don't

no delay
get out today
get out if only i could
letting go
i could say no...
but i won't


13.Back Like 8 Track

Lyricist:Alemayehu Eshete, Ian David Parton

Yes, running heavy
Back like 8 track, woo

We always step to the stress with much finesse
Flip first to the sweatin', you're my second guess
We double down the sound that you never got
Counter check the deck but I never stop

Rolling and I rock the vote
Made a stack to the roof with the rules I broke
Don't get no pay for the matters I sway
Drop the rock at the hop and have a nice day

Oh, so smooth, we got it when we groove
Those girls ain't got no moves, now we're coming for Y-O-U
spells
You, oh, those girls are bad, stepping with so much class
By this time which we're sure you look ridiculous

Yes, running heavy
On the fly, woo

We gotta shot to rebel on the double L
Got my 414, got my clientèle
We wiretap the track that you bunny hop
Double team the scene but you never stop

Faking and I say it plain
Counterclaims coming at us like a bullet train
Don't get no pay for the records I play
Drop the rock at the hop and have a nice day

Oh, so smooth, we got it when we groove
Those girls ain't got no moves, now we're coming for Y-O-U
spells
You, oh, those girls are bad, stepping with so much class
By this time which they did it up I know you cheated

Oh, so smooth, we got it when we groove
Those girls ain't got no moves, now we're coming for Y-O-U
spells
You, oh, those girls are bad, stepping with so much class
By this time which we're sure you look ridiculous


14.Headache In My Heart

i thought our destiny
was in the stars
i thought they never lied
how wrong i was

cos if your sign
was only passing through
then this one's back to you
we were finished from the start
inside, a headache in my heart

because
i woke from a dream
i woke from a dream
that i can't get back
because
i woke from a dream
i woke from a dream
that i can't get back
that i can't get back

of all my troubles in
the milky way
a million years from now
what would they say

because if love is just
a thing we do
then this one's back to you
is it crossing out my name?
i called tonight by no one came

because
i woke from a dream
i woke from a dream
that i can't get back
because
i woke from a dream
i woke from a dream
that i can't get back
that i can't get back

cos if the future's only making do
then this one's back to you
we were finished from the start
inside, a headache in my heart
