Coming loose, at the seams
Blind spots, voices
Control's gone, I'm like a balloon
Cut it out, emotion

Distance, it grows now
You don't, reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars

Save me give me wings to fly
Make me your reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the morn

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

Headlights, black demons
Peering in my hollow core
Grudges they're strangling
On splinters and dry skin

Streetlights, they see me
The whole world will reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars

Save me give me wings to fly
Make me your reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

I'll kiss you then you'll wake up
Don't want you to meet your maker
And you don't believe in fairy tales
Well truly I'm gonna make ya

Cause I've come here to save ya
Finna none of that miss I'mma take ya
I can rap I can rhyme like karma
Be your knight in shining armor

Oh no I ain't got no Porsche
Just give me a shield and a sword and a horse
And I'll come ridin' ridin' ridin'
Give me a little one on the back

I'mma turn around and get you on back
I'mma turn around and get you on back
It's gone right from fiction to a fact
I'm gonna take you out this world, oh!

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

Kiss me (x5)
Fairy tales make up

I love this inclusion because of how it wakes up the snobs.  Then kisses them.  Then we hear Vast - Thrown Away.  Everyone relax ...

Spare us the hyperbole and the whining.  If you know a station with a more diverse playlist, let's hear it.  

And this isn't even rap...

It was a godless sound; one of those low-keyed, insidious outrages of Nature which are not meant to be. To call it a dull wail, a doom-dragged whine, or a hopeless howl of chorused anguish and stricken flesh without mind would be to miss its most quintessential loathsomeness and soul-sickening overtones.

Without some robot moves... May need to hear it a few more times...

Nope, need the robot moves... and a dance floor...  Damn, no dance floor...

Exactly.  It seems like anything that is out of the ordinary is automatically lambasted here.  Maybe it's all the old farts that should just stick to their local classic schlock radio.  Variety is the spice of life.

Knew this would upset the RP demographic. Rather like their fathers before them recoiling in horror at the Who or some such.

 Big influence on Jay Z who attempts the same fusion of dubs, beats and rap but does it mindlessly and artlessly. This however, works.

Please, for the love of all that is Holy, put a warning on the air before playing anything from Basement Jaxx so that we may remove headphones, lower volumne, or press PSD before being subjected to this sonic torture.

It's such a drag, while doing my work with Radio Paradise playing, to have to turn off the sound.  
So Mr. DJ thinks this "song" is kind of cool.  I think doing biopsies is kind of cool, but I don't subject everybody to them, if you follow.
