Damon Albarn - Mr. Tembo Lyrics






Injili, Injili
Can I sing with you
'Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's got to do
But first I'm going back
To the Colworth Road
To find the mission
And help him with his load

[Chorus:]
Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned

Injili, Injili
We will sing with you
Just like the T.V
In Mr. Tembo's room
Off the emphatic night
He checked in on his own
At Mkombozi Inn and
Made it his home

[Chorus]

Injili, Injili
We will sing to you
'Bout Mr. Tembo
And what he's going through
Gets up early
While you are still in bed
Mr. Tembo, green blanket by his head

[Chorus]

Hey, you keep those lions off the front of the boat!
Good God, man! Have you some cotton in your ears?!
I'm trying to run this expedition in a decent manner!

Logistics, haulage, golf, bungalows, spires, canals, cows, hay bales
Telegraph wires, pylon power
Farmhouse over chimneys still used
Stone, satellites, football pitches, faded flags and lots of dogs
Neon cross on top of a block of flats, and a church, not as usual

[Chorus]

  1. R.... N....

    Whenever I perform a show, I always include this song on my set. It's fun to play specially when playing it with a Ukulele.

  2. P.... D....

    This sounds like a missing track from Plastic Beach or something.

  3. A.... L....

    this is probably my favorite video ever

  4. d.... ....

    I heard Mr tempo was hit by a truck. Both the driver and mr tembo were killed.

    d.... ....

    It wasn't a total waste though. Because, I heard the skinned and gutted mr. Tembo and fried him up to feed a whole village. If you haven't tried elephant burgers oh, you don't know what you're missing.,

  5. w.... t....

    When this song came out, and I heard it on the radio, in the "Injili, Injili" part, not only me, but apparently everyone that heard the song here thought it said "In Chile, In Chile" (I'm from Chile xD). So most of us liked to sing the song like that. When Damon came, he was interviewed in Rock & Pop radio before the show, and the interviewer told him about everyone thinking the song said "In Chile". Damon thought it was funny and then in the concert he sang the song like that ❤️

  27. A.... T....

    Rest in peace Mr. Tembo :((

    Elephants can live up to 70 years. My main man Mr. Tembo was like 10 months old. Where are people getting the "Rip mr.Tembo" Shit from?

    Naosu he apparently died of an illness that’s common in elephants
