TISM
Текст песни Leos Toltoy

PLease let introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste
I just like that first line, My ideas all come from another place

I'm gonna tell you a story and the main character, well it's me
It all starts way back when I began grade three

I had the blocks biggest marble collection, No that's a lie
My neighbour Johnny had swapped three jumbos for my one cats eye
Then he told me Jumbos were no longer the rage
Which shows that I was a fashion victim even back at that age

Anyway I remember it was the second week, term two
And just like normal I brought my marble bag to school
But imagine the shock and horror, for behind my back
Everyone else in the playground had bought along clack clacks

How was it that by some mysterious mutual chemistry
They all knew clack clacks were in, no one ever told me
How was it in the space of an otherwise normal night
Everyone came to school the next day not a marble bag in sight

And now I'm in a rut, where everything is the same
Just when im holding my line of tortured, artistic pain
You find out that poetry aint no longer the thing
And everyone's playing cajun, zydeko, whatever you call the thing?

What you call that thing?
What you call that thing?
What you call that thing?

I go off and buy the records, learn how to cook jumbaliyah
But everyone's dropping ecstasy and the dance clubs are on fire
I start talking about Louisiana, everyone tells me to stop
Just the like the coming of click clacks, comes something called hip-hop

Shakespeare in plays are the quintessential expression of human tragedy
Cant understand it myself but that's what my friends tell me
Anyway the only genuine thought I've ever been able to expound

Is the world aint a stage it a primary school playground
And some people are like the kids who knew when to stop
Playin' games like kerplunk and get into battling tops
Then there's people like me, who always seem to find
Just after we've bought our baseball jackets we've been left behind

We've been left behind
We've been left behind
We've been left behind

I couldn't understand it's just like musical chairs
When it's groovy to say "Groovy" and okay to wear flares
So the final piece of advice i give you should all beware
Cos when your in the jungle watch it, it's a playground out there

It's not a jungle out there (9x)
