Lyrics of 'In the Mode' by Roni Size

CHORUS
Coming down, new sound, you should be thankful,
Dirty riffs, dirty beats and dirty samples
Sell out shows, take the money, then we cancel
Front rows, back rows getting trampled

(Repeat Chorus)

What, you thought we just left the scene alone?
Got some front page headlines and just ran from out the zone
Are you mad?
I think you're having trouble understanding,
What it takes to fly the globe and keep the crowds demanding,
More of the type of the beats you felt,
The kind of smoothness that you associate to cream that melts
All over tracks,
Dinstinctive patterns are created,
Like an emblem on the grill that says it's highly rated
You figured it out, how much energy when we lash it out,
How much goes into a stage show when we move and bash it out
Eyein them out, it's no coincidence that we're up here,
It's not the lucky team who had the lucky run and cup year

CHORUS x2

You can't buy a scratchcard and jump it this hard
And bust the kind moves that cuts the bone and leave you scarred
There's thought behind the picture, fate behind the faces
Take a look around see who leaves and who chases
Advancing, I don't care how you feel just keep dancing,
You heard me, I jump an extra tide and flow superbly,
Cos it's coming, open up the gates, keep it running
Never been the ones to cotch and start slumming
Thats an easy ride, I'd rather say a storm than a gentle tide
I find it more exciting, and besides I think it's justified,
That we should blow, sky diving the low go, let the people know
Forty thousand feet, lets go climb it check out the ratio

You gonna wait until we're gone until you realise it's a masterpiece?
Treat it like a prisoner who's got no chance of a quick release
Or realise it's precious and discover the truth
And let signals be the marker point to reach for the roof

CHORUS

I don't know when to stop when I see y'all
I can't hold back, attack, respond, withdraw
I don't know when to stop when I see y'all
I can't hold back, attack, respond, withdraw
I don't know when to stop when I see y'all
I can't hold back, attack, respond, withdraw
I don't know when to stop when I see y'all
Can you see that? You see the door

What, you think you can just step in off the streets?
If you don't get the bringin, you don't get the link
That's why some people talk when they really need to think
Clearly, like leap years don't come yearly
Our camp is truly one of a kind, mean that sincerely
For real, you know that you should know by now
See, it's started all already, you should tell by now
Exact, got satisfied friends around track
We've already started planning where to set the counter at
It's been ready for years but see it's all about timing,
You can't expect to reach the top without a little climbing
It makes sense, you can't hold back with gayfence
You look tense, I move on with careful accents,
And stand tall, don't wanna reach one, but reach all
Got the feeling that you heard already cos we heard call

CHORUS x2
