Another news item and another newscaster
But there's worst to come at the arrival gate
There's a crack on board and it's running in freight
Well the fruit of the poppy take up all your time
Getting high by the hands of re-organised crime
Put the put the squeeze on the Colombian leaf
Make the brother a liar and a sister a thief
It's nothing like velvet, nothing like velvet
It's nothing like velvet but it starts off smooth
Nothing like velvet and a rut's not a groove
It's nothing like velvet when it's pound on pound
Nothing like velvet when you're underground
They're shooting up Glasgow, shooting up Leeds
There was never this peril with the stems and seeds
And the hip and the right have got nothing to say
Except, "It's out of control and it's headed your way"
It's nothing like velvet, nothing like velvet
And I loved Charlie Parker but you know he did us harm
Every time he left to pour that inspiration in his arm
It's nothing like velvet but it starts off smooth
Nothing like velvet and a rut's not a groove
It's nothing like velvet when it's pound on pound
Nothing like velvet when you're underground
Another feature film about an air-line disaster Another news item and another newscaster But there's worst to come at the arrival gate There's a crack on board and it's running in freight Well the fruit of the poppy take up all your time Getting high by the hands of re-organised crime Put the put the squeeze on the Colombian leaf Make the brother a liar and a sister a thief It's nothing like velvet, nothing like velvet It's nothing like velvet but it starts off smooth Nothing like velvet and a rut's not a groove It's nothing like velvet when it's pound on pound Nothing like velvet when you're underground They're shooting up Glasgow, shooting up Leeds There was never this peril with the stems and seeds And the hip and the right have got nothing to say Except, "It's out of control and it's headed your way" It's nothing like velvet, nothing like velvet And I loved Charlie Parker but you know he did us harm Every time he left to pour that inspiration in his arm It's nothing like velvet but it starts off smooth Nothing like velvet and a rut's not a groove It's nothing like velvet when it's pound on pound Nothing like velvet when you're underground Explain Request ×
