Fried Rice |
You know |
We’re comin' to get ya |
We’re comin' to get fried rice |
You know |
It’ll never be the same |
Never be the same |
Oh no no |
You know |
We’re comin' to get ya |
We’re comin' to get fried rice |
You know |
It’ll never be the same |
Never be the same |
Oh no |
All the rain dogs have come to shake off the street sound |
Rave off the rain fog let the fools steam out |
Some of them beach bound some run for West St |
Heads full of spare change wallets with confetti |
Pockets with the reddy’s that keep the city pretty |
The spare cash that beats the sea back and keeps the police busy |
'Cause if it weren’t for drunk disorder |
Brighton would be surely drowning in salt water and budget board ordered |
As it is |
We’re the mecca for letting hair down |
Come ride the carousel and join the fair ground |
A powder shot of soma in this candy floss city |
Where they say the drinkers come to practice animosity |
And a teenager dressed as a man can watch titties and talk totty |
Where a crotch costs a grand, it’s not for free |
It’s in the hand of gangsters who are expanding their monopoly |
From the strip club to the hippie cafe across the street |
It’s all part of the fun, the fun has become a commodity |
Like the square full of sun and beach front properties |
«Honestly, Neil, it’s so bohemian» |
But that type of freedom comes at a costly premium |
And Simon says that it’s a hard logic |
He gets less for forty hour weeks and selling narcotics |
From his front room to kids from London |
'Cause Brighton’s where you go not where you come from |
No |
Your paper wings are faded man |
You’re flying too close to the sun |
Hey when spring comes early |
I’ll be there |
The way the night weighs upon my shoulders |
Oh no no |
'Cause we’re coming to get ya |
We’re comin' to get fried rice |
You know |
It’ll never be the same |
Never be the same |
Oh No |
I said we’re comin' to get ya |
We’re comin' to get fried rice |
You know |
It’ll never be the same |
Never be the same |
I was soaring over a cultural desert of false pleasures |
On a pair of stolen wings made from beeswax and vulture feathers |
I could barely hold them together |
When I came to a baron ocean and entered this oasis of Arizona weather |
Alternating with rains wetter than Amazonian rivers |
And I found shelter there with the local rebels |
Who entertained themselves by experimenting with their serotonin levels |
On pebble beaches |
Before descending into the nether regions of the hills |
Dressed in leather breaches, necking pills like Skittles |
In the steamiest dens of sexual deviants |
Ready to pledge allegiance to nothing less than pleasure seeking |
Yes, a festive ethos infected them every weekend |
And this bohemian mecca needed a network |
Of creative musicians, MCs and Djs for entertainment |
The kind of place where the nightlife is just as vital as the fire brigade |
Where a guy can ply his trade live on stage |
In front of a bunch of primates with deep fried brains |
And Hey! |
I can relate to the desire to change your mindstate every night |
Wake up with a migraine and the next day try it again |
So I stayed in Brighton for quiet some time |
Mostly because I like the way the locals play this rhyme game |
But I was never quite native to this tribal oasis |
Just an honorary adopted member |
So I left them to the onslaught of winter |
Confident that liberty is something they will not surrender |
You Know |
We’re comin' to get ya |
We’re comin' to get fried rice |
You know |
It’ll never be the same |
Never be the same |
Oh no no |
We’re comin' to get ya |
We’re comin' to get fried rice |
You know |
It’ll never be the same |
Never be the same |
Oh no |
I am here |
So I hear |
But I feel I’m not near |
Then I’m gone |
So so long |
You know time just stumbles on |
And once I leave |
I can breath |
Tuck some cards under my sleeve |
And then Baby when I get back |
I’ll let you know |
