Karmacoma

Verify Lyrics. Your troubles must be seen to through money like its paper...

The refarin is, Jamaica and Roma not "Jamaica aroma" "monopoly and properly kiss'd"

To take this song as a song about a girl and marijuana is to look at it improperly. As with all massive attack songs one must look a bit deeper. I think this is a social commentary comparing the world (societies, governents, etc) to lovers.

You sure you want to be with me I've nothing to give Won’t lie and say this lovin's best Leave us in emotional peace Take a walk, taste the rest No, take a rest

3D "I see you digging a hole in your neighborhood You’re crazy but you’re lazy (we're destroying ourselves, right in our own country though we not doing it ourselves. Rather via through outsourcing or immigrant labour.) No need to live in a lean-to Your troubles must be seen to see through Money like it's paper with faces i remember (We have so musch money, individually its worthless. our problems are based upon the very amount of wealth we posess.) I drink on a daily basis Though it seldom cools my temper It never cools my temper" This stanza talks of America or the West i think in reference to how we live and how we consume, most notably oil. (I drink on a daily basis but it never cools my temper. (it never satisfies me)) Tricky Walking through the suburbs though not exactly lovers You’re a couple, 'specially when your body’s doubled Duplicate, then you wait for the next kuwait (We breed and wait for war. Kuwait is a reference to the Gulf War as it was the central conflict at the time this song was produced. We just reproduce and wait for a bloodless entertaining, media covered and sucessful war for resource) (both) Karmacoma, jamaica and roma (x4)

3D You sure you want to be with me i’ve nothing to give Take a walk take a rest taste the rest Take a walk take a rest taste the rest Take a walk take a rest a taste of rest

Tricky Don't want to be on top of your list Phenomenally and properly kissed We overcome in sixty seconds With the strength we have to together But for now, emotional ties they stay severed When there’s trust there’ll be treats And when we funk we'll hear beats

(both) Karmacoma, jamaica and roma (x4)

3D Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate I must be crazy, see i'm swazy Digging a hole in your neighborhood You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy

Tricky Don't wanna on top of your list Monopoly and properly kissed (We dont want the be all close up with you America because we fear satisfaction, and opulence in consumption.)

3D Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate My baby Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate I must be crazy, you must be lazy (i think this whole deflowering my baby thing is about the influence America and the west has, or rather had over the world. The people of nations looked on as their presidents and leaders made policy, for better or worse, usually worse at the behest of the West.) (both) Karmacoma, what?, jamaica and roma (x4)

Really its about the dawn of globalization seen back in 1997. The people in the video really epitomize the West i think, a thief, a psychotic killer with no clear motive, a sexually disfunctional man with mulitple mistresses, the narcissist covered in oil, and the woman, awed by weath.

(ive yet to put together some lines though)
