“give u more” lyrics + nearly 2500 plays already! :::

Posted 04 Feb 2010 in Music,NaNoWriMo,Video

Wowee, the “Give U More” video has had 2474 views on YouTube since Tuesday morning. I thought only cats playing the banjo got watched that much, so thanks everyone! We’d love to get your ratings and comments so if you fancy saying anything please head over here to do so.

Here are the lyrics (with links to the things they reference), in case you were wondering what on earth I’m banging on about:

“Give U More”
music by Redroche, lyrics by Laura Kidd + Hal Ritson

One of the signs of the decline in our time
Is that every other line is a dubious rhyme
I need a Scroobius rhyme to inject and infect my mind
Stacking “Back To Black” back to back with “Back In Black”
And the Rat Pack in the rack, mac
I need a gap – rewind, press play and release the jack

I wanna give you more
I wanna give you more
I’m not gonna open my arms to the sunrise
I wanna give you more
I wanna give you more
I’m not gonna take you higher boy

Sharper, stronger, sweeter than before
Brighter, faster, deeper take it all
Sharper, stronger, sweeter than before
I wanna give you, I wanna give you more

Cos I’m a NaNoWriMo dynamo
With my fishnet skates and my Dollymix flow
Just a pillarbox redtop jamming with my beatbox
Rolling on the street with the B-dog
@ w-a-double r-i-o-double r-l tweets
I’m the urban spacegirl baby
Here’s the twist – I do exist

I wanna give you more
I wanna give you more
I’m not gonna open my arms to the sunrise
I wanna give you more
I wanna give you more
I’m not gonna take you higher boy

Sharper, stronger, sweeter than before
Brighter, faster, deeper take it all
Sharper, stronger, sweeter than before
I wanna give you, I wanna give you more

Now it’s time to sing along…all together now…
