LG - Camberwell Carrots lyrics

(Chorus) I'm the shining star Lightning spark Camberwell carrots I can see the in dark Cupid's arrow lodged deep in my heart Love for the art Gifted; the way I'm so swift with the dart Lifting the cup I'm a champion You love to see me live it up That's why I can't ever give it up Put your hands together Give it up! (Verse 1) Ain't nothing pretty in this city, for real But we can put our heads together if you're willing to build I see a vision of Elysian Fields Another day in the life of Mr William Shields We're slum villagers Drunk off of miniatures f** the ministers And the crumbs that they're giving us Behind the bars with political prisoners Conspiracies to limit us to indigenous listeners And tone down the content Water down the accent And dumb down the image on some Jazz-hand theatrics Singing and dancing in a top hat The belle of the ball I keep it street like Top Cat And Benny The Ball Silique of a penniless fool Living on the edge Ready to fall Down again And this time I might not pick myself back up Dust myself down, and put it down to luck Life is a cruel mistress She's down to make love But she ain't down to f** Your body buckled by the pain Struggling in vain, wondering how to maintain Neighbours strung out on Crack-Cocaine They switch-up the story But the facts don't change They remain Simple and plain It's no use Groundhog Day You stay stuck in the loop And nobody's giving up the loot Play to win But it's Trivial Pursuits False promises, and fool's gold From out the cracks in the concrete A stone rose And freedom is so close I can taste it But never close enough for me to fully embrace it A lifestyle so basic Let's face it (Chorus)
