Faithless - To All New Arrivals - Full Album Lyrics

Updated 15/02/2007. Thank you all for your posts!! :)

Well here is an attempt to gather all the "To All New Arrivals" album lyrics in just one place! Any help (corrections, adds etc) is very welcome! :)



01. Bombs
We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become

Key in the door, the moment I've been longing for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss
And a story they're a gift to this world
My only claim to glory
I surely never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions
I'm amazed

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
One mans loss, another mans gold
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold

We're just children, we're just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all

One bomb, the whole block gone
Can't find me children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some another fun day in Babylon
I'm gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done so now I got to kill someone

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold

-------------------------

02. Spiders, Crocodiles and Kryptonite (It was quite hard for me to write down this song's lyrics!)

-------------------------

03. Music Matters

-------------------------

04. Nates Tune (Instrumental Track)
I look down on this beautiful planet and think that at last I have found paradise.

-------------------------

05. I Hope
I hope you understand what fear is before you have to feel it..... (Help needed!)

-------------------------

06. Last This Day
Lines to the skin
that has seen
neither sun nor sin

Tubes to the mouth
cannot laugh or sigh
or even cry

A drop in the ocean
a second and all time
one stop in the endless sky

But you mean
the whole world to me
you're an island of light
so please last this day
stay one more day
please last this day
stay one more day

Stay one more
stay one more
stay one more day

Just one more
just one more
just one more day

-------------------------

07. To All New Arrivals --- (wrote them down by myself)
In our world
maleria kills a child every 30 seconds
11.000.000 children die every year of malnutrition

(To All New Arrivals... Welcome)

In our world
15.000.000 children have been orphaned by AIDS
30.000.000 children die of preventable causes every day

(To All New Arrivals... Welcome)

In our world
2.000.000 children are working at the sex-industry

1.1 billion people in the world have less than 1 dollar

To All New Arrivals
We love you
We would die for you
Kill for you

To All New Arrivals
We love you
We would die for you
Kill for you

Welcome, welcome, welcome

If there's a god,
Be aware
I'm a man newly made
My son lies here
And only of him
Am I afraid
And I gaze into that face
I can see that which is true
I created him
And we created you
In his image
And I never knew love like this...

To All New Arrivals
We love you
We would die for you
Kill for you

To All New Arrivals
We love you
We would die for you
Kill for you

To All New Arrivals
We love you
We would die for you
Kill for you

You're welcome, welcome, welcome.....

08. Hope And Glory
When I arrive
Eyes wide
Fired up
Try not to slide a letter side down
Now the plane's on the ground
I'll find a good refreshment
It's 1957
I've come to the mother land
And make a home to put my bed in
This way that does (???) my head in
Some people are less than kind
I wish
My mom was here so I could arm wide
But I'm supposed to be the good news
So I lace up this hard black shoes
And ???? more work
This street was never paid with gold
They simply made my fever
They just made my fever

Just a little money in my pocket
And a little bit left for those I love
To have enough fruit on my table
And a little bit more for those you call

In this land of hope and glory
You think there's enough for us all
You think there's enough for us all

When I arrive
Eyes wide
Petrified
Try not to cry
And let this side down
Now plane's on the ground
It's 20 years later
Mama's in the arrival lounge
I take a few seconds
And kiss her
Then I look around
And what's happened to my home town
What's going on
But pappa doesn't look too strong

???? in a cab
Window's hot --- (I'm going to continue that one later... have to go for now!)

  2. Thanks for this effort.

    One note so far ... I think the line in 'Bombs' that you have written as "So much war, so much soul" is actually "So much bought, so much sold". What do you think?

    It's such a wonderful song, isn't it? :)

  4. 03 Music Matters

    (Cass Fox)
    For all those who stood up and were counted
    For all those for whom money was no motive
    For all those for whom music was a message
    I want to thank you

    For making me
    A little more sure
    A little more wise
    And couragious

    You told me to look much further
    You told me to walk much more
    You told me that music matters
    And to chase the dogs back from my door

    I won't stop here
    I won't be still untill the sun sets
    On us all..

    (Maxi Jazz)
    Under the sheets with my radio
    Turn down low
    So nobody know
    It's the late night show
    Hopin' to hear Hey Joe
    Jimmy was my hero
    Head blown by Type R or was it the true star?
    From Dali Lama to Tanamo
    Curtis Mayfield
    Say Kurtis Blow
    Singing into my pillow
    And praying I don't dance
    Untill my 9 Volt battery goes..

    (Cass Fox)
    You told me to look much further
    You told me to walk much more
    You told me that music matters
    And to chase the dogs back from my door

    I won't stop here
    I won't be still untill the sun sets
    On us all..

    You told me to look much further

    You told me that music matters
    And to chase the dogs back from my door

    I won't stop here
    I won't be still untill the sun sets
    On us all..

    You told me that music matters..
    You told me that music matters..
    You told me that music matters..
    You told me that music matters..

  5. 08 Hope And Glory

    When I arrive eyes wide fired up
    Tried not to slide and let the side down
    Now the planes on the ground i'll find a good profession it's

    1957
    I've come to the mother land to make a home to put my bed in
    this weather does my head in some people are less than kind I

    wish
    mamma was here so I could unwind
    but I'm supposed to be the good news so I lace up these hard

    black shoes
    and look more work the streets whenever paved with gold they

    simply make my feet hurt, they just make my feet hurt

    just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those

    I love
    to have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those

    who call
    in this land of hope and glory you'd think there's enough for us

    all
    you'd think there's enough for us all

    When I arrive eyes wide petrified
    Tried not to cry and let the side down
    now the planes on the ground, it'S 20 years later mummas in the

    arrival lounge
    I take a few seconds to kiss her then look around at what's

    happened to my home town

    What's going on, but papa doesn't look too strong
    rush home in a cab, windows up
    now I hear dad cough, we gotta get in before they switch the

    lights and water off
    for the night, i have to get to know the guard dogs cause they

    bite
    progress just pass us by to the right

    just a little money in my pocket and a little bit left for those

    I love
    to have enough food on my table and a little bit more for those

    who call
    in this land of hope and glory you'd think there's enough for us

    all
    you'd think there's enough for us all

  6. 10 The Man In You

    although i don't really know how to handle ya
    I will have nobody kicking no sand in ya face
    not even a trace of bland in ya
    teenage and its a trouble understanding ya
    ya got plenty of energy and stamina
    forgot all the little tricks I tried to cram in ya
    there's a bit of don't give a damn in ya, ha
    and that's your old man in ya
    stand in your way, never or ever abandon ya
    and on the day people say what they can't stand in ya
    don't let your ego get out of hand on ya
    it ain't a good look when crook kharma come land on ya
    balance yourself, bring out the zinedine zidane in ya
    the I will and I can in ya
    execute the grand plan in ya
    I'm your daddy and happened to see the man in ya

    Might know too much but i'm no sub touch
    brought you up, to recognise lies as such
    I need no crushed child hood was arduous
    and if there is a god i'm sure he would pardon us
    must be working hard in us
    not to harden us, ha

    10 that you really wanna be
    20 exactly what you see's on telly
    11 you can't tell him any-thing that he don't know already
    12 they get together steady, explore the 1st keeping up with the

    many
    13 none of them are ready, living on old raised broke not a

    penny
    14 baby in the belly, she's all done a runner another no daddy
    15 nanny and she loves it dearly, head strong proving all along

    but wary
    16 scale we were quite contrary
    this is how the garden grows
    this is how the garden grows

    children ya still own the power
    to turn this into your finest hour
    now a young ma-mum that mistake can make a contribution why dont

    we wait and see
    give back the mothers their dignity
    and the fathers who roam free a lesson in humility
    this society needs to learn

    it happened to you it could happen to me (x4)

    birds and bees without flowers
    girls be strong boys don't cower

    stand by your seats scream and shower
    oh how the sweet can't un sour

    birds and bees without flowers
    girls be strong boys don't cower

    stand by your seats scream and shower
    oh how the sweet can't un sour

  7. To all new arrivals...

    I found some other things to differ.

    He says:

    In our world
    2.000.000 children are working at the sex-trade at this moment

    1.1 billion people in the world earn less than 1 dollar a day

    ^_^

    You've done some great effort here, You are one of the first with these lyrics! Thumbs up for you (and faithless :D )

  8. Here you go for ' I Hope'

    I hope you understand what fear is before you have to feel it.
    I hope my neurosis don't rub off on you.
    I hope you always have enough to eat.
    I hope you're never bullied and I hope you never bully others.
    I hope you find love.
    I hope you don't die before your time.
    I hope you don't blame yourself for things that are not your fault.
    I hope you're always playing your tape and I hope you'll visit me when I'm old.
    I hope you are true to yourself.
    I hope that rejection doesn't stop you loving.
    I hope you never experience war.

    What, are you come to teach me?
    Well, would you want 'Philosophy' or 'The New Wayne Rooney' ?
    Will it be poetry that lights your eyes?
    Mine are shining and my tears flow free...
    Oh my son, what have I done?
    Brought perfection to this world of confusion heedlessly...
    Now you're the one feeding me,
    Because I never knew love like this, endlessly reaching back through eternity that I can clearly see in your face when you smile at me and grab my finger.

    I hope you outlive your parents.
    I hope you never bury your children.

    I hope you outlive your parents.
    I hope you never bury your children.
    I don't mind whether you're a boy or a girl, I just want you to be healthy.
    I hope we enjoy every minute of you growing up.
    I hope you lead your world to victory.
