Sneaker Pimps are a trip-hop trio formed in Reading, England, in 1995, following the success of Portishead's Dummy and Tricky's Maxinquaye. Borrowing heavily from Portishead and Massive Attack, Sneaker Pimps pursued a trancelike but edgy sound, highlighted by Kelli Dayton's soulful vocals. While Dayton was the focal point, Chris Corner (guitar) and Liam Howe (keyboards) are the band's leaders, writing all of the songs and producing the records. Howe and Corner had been playing in bands since the early '90s, to no success. After seeing Dayton sing with a pub band in 1995, they convinced her to join the fledgling Sneaker Pimps, who had taken their name from an article the Beastie Boys published in their Grand Royale magazine about a man they hired to track down classic sneakers. Sneaker Pimps released their first single, "Tesko Suicide," in May of 1996, and it was greeted with positive reviews in the U.K. music press. Becoming X, the group's debut, was released in August and became a critical success, with Q magazine naming it one of the best albums of the year. However, the band failed to make an impact on the pop charts in the U.K. A remix album followed in early 1998, but by the time of the follow-up Splinter, Dayton had left the group; most of the vocals were taken by Corner. Though Splinter wasn't released in America, 2002's Bloodsport earned a release on Tommy Boy.

Grazes So did the sympathy for me start to fade When your conscience is down Fix paranoia scars when I need all So did you ever see the north get so grey Swallows me up, hollows the language in my last lungs So which fucking ape is on you today That what my head wakes up and says when I crumble I'm the aim To suffocate and blame You gave less Than you tried to possess All the greed Is nothing that I need If you can't face the grazes I can't face the grazes I cannot contain this I can't fake the traces I can't fake the grazes So the fever that I got stole my name It opened me up, twisted my bones now I'm nothing I knew the second time that I saw your face The city lit up was bleeding its gifts Now I'm sinking Just another lonely box beneath her bed A mark on her back a bruise in her head Had she fallen, had she fallen That is what she wished she had said Two traces of time were riding the spine Was it worth it I'm the aim To suffocate and blame You gave less Than you tried to possess All the greed Is nothing that I need If you can't face the grazes I can't face the grazes I cannot contain this I can't fake the traces I can't face the grazes

Alibis You're cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up With your brutal suffocating ways Like cellophane Spreading yourself too thin To begin to feel anything Oh all the fear, all the lies What you think you need to survive The crisis is moving in over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply Heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming over and over the same thing Alibis Alibis Like alibis Smiling like a sunbeam Furious as creeping fire and grazing ice And your alibis Tongue-tied smoke and mirrors Left stuttering in bleach and lights Cellophane Oh all the fear, all the lies What you think you need to survive The crisis is moving in over and over the same thing From X to Y to Z comply Heartache barely keeps you alive The crisis is coming over and over the same thing Did you find that you're lost Oh let us fall down through the cracks in the pavement If you find that you're lost Nothing, nothing is safer Did you find that you're lost The cracks are the same

same thing You're like cellophane You think that you got it wrapped up With your brutal suffocating ways Alibis Alibis So Far Gone The sun ate the moon, swallowed the weather Busy old fool, now the days last forever The center won't hold, exempt of the rules To burn through the night, to sound the retreat It fractures the whole, a brutal excuse Frantic like a child, from panic to attack So far gone, never reformed, way round wrong Fall so hard, into the storm, way off course The sun ate the moon, swallowed the weather A beautiful gesture, a beautiful future We rise from the ashes, for worse or for better The sun ate the moon, swallowed the weather A summer of love, cooled to an autumn Tumble and fall and striking out for heaven So far gone, never return, no safe ground Hate so hard, teach us to learn, won't back down The sun ate the moon, swallowed the weather A beautiful gesture, a beautiful future We rise from the ashes, for worse or for better The sun ate the moon, swallowed the weather The sun ate the moon, swallowed the weather A beautiful gesture, a beautiful future We rise from the ashes Immaculate Hearts All I've done The victories and the trials All I've become You know that I've tried, god, I've tried Feel my center Know it's gentle I want you to hold if we splinter again Immaculate hearts break apart but they mend Never intended to take us so low Losing the strength, babe, I need you to hold All that has gone And the lines and the years on your face It's comfort some That the dust from the stars will remain So no to mourning And so to nothing I want you to hold if we splinter again Immaculate hearts break apart but they mend Never intended to take us so low Losing the strength, babe, I need you to hold If we could retrace our way out of this maze Will you still have the heart to be pure, to be brave Never intended to take us this low I need you to save us, I need you to hold Immaculate hearts Immaculate hearts Immaculate hearts Immaculate hearts No Show So you say you're very close to feeling close to nothing You're not sure of what you've got but you don't want it Shall we deconstruct the morning breakdown, I don't think so You're a shadow of the weekend lately, I'm a no show And I'm all out of sympathy We're too far, so bad, for me I was caught in the rush a long time, believe me I was caught in the rush, the push and shove, the two of us I was caught in the rush a long time, believe me I was caught in the rush, the push and shove, the two of us Shall we say we think today is not our day And tomorrow's not looking that good anyway If you want to be with me, do I really have to be you And if I'm all that makes you happy, well, I really didn't mean to So take what you want and leave We're too far, so bad, for me (Going to back yourself into a corner) I was caught in the rush a long time, believe me (Shall we call excesses to order) I was caught in the rush, the push and shove, the two of us (You should be walking the streets with yourself) I was caught in the rush a long time, believe me (I'm through trying to know how to help) I was caught in the rush, the push and shove, the two of us Going to back yourself into

the push and shove, the two of us I was caught in the rush a long time, believe me I was caught in the rush, the push and shove, the two of us Tranquility Trap And I dreamt I was crawling Through the fire of decadence You were with me and smiling Like a god of innocence The parasite in the host The machine in the ghost Failing Oh it's suffocating The tranquility trap From silence to a crash Oh it's devastating The tranquility trap The devil on my back And our histories shatter Breaking order to entropy I would offer my life if it mattered To protect our sanctity The parasite in the host The machine in the ghost Failing Oh it's suffocating The tranquility trap From silence to a crash Oh it's devastating The tranquility trap The devil on my back Oh metallic tasting The tranquility trap From silence to a crash Oh it's devastating The tranquility trap Oh the devil on my back SOS Should have done it sooner, but I didn't because I don't even know myself Everything I'm based on is just something I was And I can't even sell myself Oh mirror, mirror hanging on the wall Show me how to love myself Should have done it sooner, but I didn't because I don't even trust myself This is my SOS These are the bridges I'm burning I never needed such help This is my SOS I look much smaller seen from inside out Far too small to see myself Down on reflection, cast in hate and in doubt Flawed and flaws I add myself Oh mirror, mirror hanging on the wall Please, just show me someone else My hopes were low and I got so much so less Nothing left to save myself This is my SOS These are the bridges I'm burning I never needed such help This is my SOS Each day a broken clock is true at least twice Twice the odds I give myself I know it would be kinda easier sometimes If I felt like someone else This is my SOS These are the bridges I'm burning I never needed such help This is my SOS I gave my level best These hands are drowning, not waving This is my SOS This is your heart and I'm breaking Stripes Oh they want us to make like tigers Stripping the bones and bleeding the blameless dry And the story that reads us as liars Show you the stripes I earned the shameful way There's always killings to be made A beautiful profit to turn from harm's way And it's always the end of the world again All the blood and the colors and the shades of pain Our animal nature, our cynical nature And it's always the end of the world again Head to toe in an unbreakable arithmetic Our animal nature, our cynical nature And they're running us round into butter Grinding us down into so much ash and dust And they want us to make like tigers Eating our own as we choke on the love we've lost There's always killings to be made A beautiful profit to turn from harm's way And it's always the end of the world again All the blood and the colors and the shades of pain Our animal nature, our cynical nature And it's always the end of the world again Head to toe in an unbreakable arithmetic Our animal nature, our cynical nature Paper Room You can't work out the codes in my head Every time I try to second-guess the machine I feel the laughter and the taunting logic The lights are on, but there's nobody home I will never know the life that grows inside the wires Opening all the doors, freezing me to the core The paper room, it will defeat you There was never anyone inside The paper room, it will deceive you Mortal confusion swimming against the tide Perceptions pained our future regrets And the grip that we're fighting to hold and curb the unknown Becomes a coded brand new apocalypse The surface cracked and we're so panicked and bent There's a learning deeper than our minds could ever go The inevitability, the death to the ego The paper room it will defeat you There was never anyone inside The paper room it will deceive you Mortal confusion swimming against the tide Black Rain I'm holding on but then the sky comes falling in Trying to write a love song, but this is not a love song Aching limbs, I see the storm clouds are closing in Come wash me away, come wash me away There will always be confusion in the air But don't be scared to take a breath, my love The universe just doesn't care The desolation, the ticking time bomb This is not a love song Black rain Black rain Why does it pour in my heart Close my eyes I see there is no edge to me Only consciousness, only momentary All horizons come and go for eternity I can choose my pain, I can choose my pain Acid falling, breaking cells beneath the skin They can take my dignity But they can't take how I relate The resolution, the end of suffering This could be a love song Black rain Black rain Why does it pour in my heart Remember, remember, I remember A sky pierced and bled 'til it's white Like entropy from dark matter Comes a flashing light I can't find anyone So I run into the red fog Look straight in front of me The cloud glides and rushes into the darkness Everyone around me, blurry faces Emerge like ghosts from the fog I am everything, I am nothing In the red fire, in the silent centre I can't find her Love Me Stupid Mouth to mouth, give the life back to me again Drink the milk, medicate my system again Cheek to cheek, toe to toe, eye for eye, soul for soul Give the love, take the hit Break my fall, pay for it Mouth to mouth, breathe the love back to me again Snow like teardrops Softly falling Across the rooftops Love me stupid Love me stupid Love me stupid Throw the rope, drag me out from under again Got to choke all the bad inside me to mend Face to face, heart to heart, limb from limb, role for role Cheek to cheek, toe to toe, eye for eye, soul for soul Heart to heart, beat the love back in me again Snow like teardrops Softly falling Across the rooftops Love me stupid Love me stupid Love me stupid Stupid Snow like teardrops Softly falling Across the rooftops Love me stupid Love me stupid Love me stupid Lifeline And you say you love me That you're thinking of me That you'll never let me down Then you say you need me That you'll never leave me That you'll always be around All in all, we're nothing to save Just a touch too little when it's all too late Turning off and just flaking out If you've fallen chasing, then just stay down Why should I Offer you a helping hand, a lifeline I'm not the good Samaritan You and I should but we don't feel the need to even try We're just the passers-by And you keep and feed me Don't make my heart bleed Free love, free misery What you call charity Don't wish it on me Save it for your enemies More and more the missing link stays Just your lazy thumbs and hang-ups on display Crawling off animal improved Too much evolution's living truth Why should I offer you a helping hand, a lifeline I'm not the good Samaritan You and I should but we don't feel the need to even try We're just the passers-by And you say you love me That you're thinking of me That you'll never let me down Then you say you need me That you'll never leave me That you'll always be around Why should I offer you a helping hand, a lifeline I'm not the good Samaritan You and I should but we don't feel the need to even try We're just the passers-by I'm not the good Samaritan I'm not the good Samaritan Pink Noise What you hear out your window Crushing you down, it's not letting you go The tides of life, neurons and heartbeats Escaping commas, fighting for what you know Your lungs are too full You shout like a crowd Over the pink noise You're lost on the words That made you so proud Over the pink noise The red on the white We roll on the floor Forever jaded We're fighting our fears We're fighting for joy Above the pink noise Where's your voice in a sea of overload Waves of judgement cancel you and leave you cold Filtered, muted, alien messages So much data, ghosting until you submit Your lungs are too full You shout like a crowd Over the pink noise You're lost on the words That made you so proud Over the pink noise The red on the white We roll on the floor Forever jaded We're fighting our fears We're fighting the cause Above the pink noise Where's your voice in a sea of overload Waves of judgement cancel you and leave you cold Come Like The Cure You look like I feel – not up to much The first to believe and the last to trust If I had the ways and the means, I'd be obvious But your 'one size fits' Makes me sick of the sight of us Elias is the brother of your suffering He's the weather we've been under as the days kick in The infection left of promises you've given in Elias is the brother of your suffering I feel like you look when you're all made up The last to be sentenced and the first to judge If I paint the picture I'm sure I'd be clear enough So just don't come like a cure 'Cause your 'one size fits' just does no good Elias is the brother of your suffering He's the weather we've been under as the days kick in The infection left of promises you've given in Elias is the brother of your suffering (Elias is the brother of your suffering He's the weather we've been under as the days kick in The infection left of promises you've given in Elias is the brother of your suffering) Elias is the brother of your suffering Elias is the brother of your suffering Your suffering Squaring The Circle Burden's such Lost in the loop Every little sand grain Begging me to ordain The two of us Come back to you Opening arms Remember when the skies cleared Remember that we've been here before Once more squaring the circle Forever returning and waving flags The spiders in moonlight, riches to rags Oh you, demon, please Gift these gods to me The eternal glass Of existence Every pain, every joy Small to great We transform ourselves Once more squaring the circle Forever returning and waving flags The spiders in moonlight, riches to rags Oh you, demon, please Gift these gods to me

Lolita
She was soft She was unbroken Dressed in the pink That she wore as a token To the summer To the summer Always clean Always precautious She was the devil And she danced with the roses In the summer... She was rhyme She was the reason I left my life For a sole that was freezing In the summer... Always cold, always in endearing Sweet in the woods She was naked and kneeling In the summer... A thought came down And washed away the hurt And there's always something You can learn A thought came down And washed away the hurt And there's always something You can learn Maybe wrong Way beyond redemption Caught between My desire and intention To protect her From the summer... I gave my word i would only teach her Deep in believing That the wisdom would release her From her keepers And the summer Overwhelmed, primitive emotions Struck by the river That was screaming for the ocean In the summer... Silent now No-one else beguiling Lost in thew woods I will always hear her crying In the summer... A thought came down And washed away the hurt And there's always something You can learn A thought came down And it washed away the hurt And there's always something You can learn You can learn

Loretta Young Silks
( French Version )
Des prétextes pour chacun Des excuses sans fin Pas de contrat ni de loi Pour casser les battements de mon coeur Une illusion de perfection Une âme sans raison Du dégoût par dessus tout J'attends tes désirs pour en finir Tu es Loretta Young silks Tu te déguises quand tu aimes Tu es loretta Young silks Sous ton amour halogène Blesser comme seul plaisir Mentir pour jouir Tu es Loretta Young silks Tu changes l'amour en haine Des rendez-vous un peu flous Que tu manques sans gêne Tu n'es fidèle qu'à toi-même Tu te reposes sur mes "je t'aime" Tout ce que mon oeil peut voir Une lutte sans victoire Une guerre, mais sans vainqueur Pour nourrir les battements de ton coeur Tu es Loretta Young silks

Missile
So you came like a missile Falling on my head With a black sky You think you're giving.. But you're taking my life away Then you came with your breezeblocks Smashing up my face like a bus-stop You think you're giving.. But you're taking my life away Like the drunk you convinced was sober You keep me falling over You think you're giving.. But you're taking my life away With your best of intentions You try to give an ocean directions You think you're giving.. But you're taking my life away So you came like a missle Leaving me the whole world in exile You think you're giving.. But you're taking my life away Like the drunk you convinced was sober You keep me falling over You think you're getting.. But you're taking my life away You think you're giving.. But you're taking my life away

Perfect One ( Ten to Twenty EP )
Place your mark on me now Hang your star on my form Hold your hope to my arm Place your faith on my charm This is how I would This is all our time to tell This is how we spread over rough things Found from clipped wings Look at me now Look at me now I've become the perfect one Look at me now Look at me now I've become the perfect one No such thing as "clean water" No such thing as "clinical" No such thing as "left to chance" No such thing as "impartial stance" This is how I would This is all our time to tell This is how we spread over rough things Found from clipped wings Look at me now Look at me now I've become the perfect one Look at me now Look at me now I've become the perfect one Precious
( 6 underground EP ) Precious I feel precious Ways of the unknown true Bathing In your present I despise what isn't you Precious I feel precious Writhing in the way Dripping Onto slivers Screaming for screaming sake Precious I feel precious And so afraid Cracking Slowly cracking Under the neon ray Precious I feel precious Writhing in the way Dripping Onto slivers Screaming for screaming sake *** Thanx to Marco & Emmalina for this one ***
Reward ( Teardrop Explodes cover ) Bless my cotton socks I'm in the news The king sits on his face buttons all askew All wrapped up the same All wrapped up the same They can't have it You can't have it I can't have it too Until I learn to accept my reward Princes stand in queues they stand accused Live in solitude like Howard Hughes All wrapped up the same All wrapped up the same They can't have it Arrogance has it I can have it ooh Until I learn to accept my reward Learn to accept my reward Suddenly it struck me very clear Suddenly it struck me very clean All wrapped up the same All wrapped up the same They can't have it You can't have it I can't have it too Until I learn to accept my reward (x3)
Superstition ( Stevie Wonder cover ) Very superstitious, the writings on the wall, Very superstitious, the ladders 'bout to fall, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass, Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past. If you believe in the things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way Very superstitious, wash your face and hands, Very superstitious, do all that you can, Keep me in a daydream, keep me going strong, You don't wanna save me, sad is my song. If you believe in the things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way. Very superstitious, nothing more to say, Very superstitious, the devil's on his way, Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin glass, Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past. If you believe in the things that you don't understand, Then you suffer, Superstition ain't the way.
The Chauffeur ( Duran Duran cover ) Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving All looking for a new place to drive You sit beside me so newly charming Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress - all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Way down the lane away, living for another day The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress - all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress - all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing blue silver... And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies And I'll only watch you leave me further behind And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress - all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind The front of your dress - all shadowy lined And the droning engine throbs in time With your beating heart Sing blue silver Sing, sing.. blue silver (there's more to this kind of camouflage) (more than just colour and shape) (who's going now, in to a classiomatic? )
Unattach
( Low Five EP ) Unattach to know Long to be so uninvolved Try to want to know How to follow what's being showed Reserve the right to never tell Silence tells you more... I can take the rest down I can take the rest down Hang opinion 'round Hope's ballooning as we wait Never standing ground Making moves to compensate I can't wait to see you try Suits me when you fail I can take the rest down I can take the rest down Try so hard to plan a route Of summer escaped from algebra Lost, confess no claim to truth Limit me to something more Reserve the right to never tell Silence tells you more Cause I can take the rest down Cause I can take the rest down I can take the rest down... Velvet Divorce ( A life less ordinary OST )

Walk the rain ( Spin spin sugar EP )
It brakes my heart To see you go I fall apart Like a broken door I'll surely die If you gone too long Your absence cries Like a silent song I pound the walls With bloody hands I curse and I crawl Like a desperate man I walk the rain I walk the rain I see their smiles Those crocodiles And stich by stich I'm such a bitch I walk the rain I walk the rain ** Thanx to Marco & Kaya for this one **
