Song lyrics

Gorillaz (2001)

• The world is spinning too fast,
  I'm buying lead Nike shoes,
  to keep myself tethered to the days I tried to lose.
  • "19-2000"

• There's a monkey in the jungle, watching a vapor trail
  Caught up in the conflict between his brain and his tail.
  • "19-2000"

• I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad,
  I got sunshine in a bag,
  I'm useless, but not for long,
  The future is coming on.
  • "Clint Eastwood"

Plastic Beach (2010)

• You can’t get what you want, but you can get me
  • ”On Melancholy Hill”
