Massive Attack - Better Things Lyrics






[Tracy Thorn]

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
And though you've found
You need more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free

That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love

Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come our way

You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
All that's bullshit babe
You just want rid of me

You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah

Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way
Hear me say
Better things will surely come my way

  33. A.... A....

    I was listening to this album of massive attack, until I came to this music and I recognized this bass from somewhere, after a severe minutes thinking i found from where :D DJ Shadow sampled for his music In/flux, I knew that :D

    A.... A....

    agreed :)

  34. V.... G....

    Enjoyed! If you're a fan of this music, you may enjoy my original songs :) Come check it out by visiting my channel. Would love for you to listen. Look forward to your feedback!

  35. V.... V....

    So atmosferic.

  36. G.... G....

    Musically & lyrically fantastic

  37. j.... ....

    Yet another band influenced heavily by Talk Talk . . . beautiful but I prefer Talk Talk by far :-)

    j.... ....

    What a stupid and pointless comment...

  38. W.... W....

    Is this "trip hop"?

  39. G.... ....

    love it love it loveeee ittttt

  40. C.... R....

    Portishead? I like their stuff too. :) My favorite song is "Numb".

    But frankly, what I was trying to do here was plugging the YouTube channel of an insanely talented young Canadian, for whom I'm not even sure whether she wants to become a singer at all; but I'm trying to find more fans for her, just so I can help convince her not to give up singing - that would be a big loss for the world of music.

    C.... R....

    I like your name.

  41. A.... S....

    Beth Gibbons has a superb and unique voice as well.

  42. K.... ....

    You say the magic's gone

    Well i'm not a magician

    You say the spark's gone

    Well get an electrician

    And save your line about needing to be free

    All that's bullshit babe

    You just want rid of me

    You want freedom without love
    And magic without love
    Magic without love
    Yeah

    Hear me say
    Better things will surely come my way
    Hear me say
    Better things will surely come my way

  43. C.... R....

    Tracey does indeed have a unique voice. :) Yet, someone recently compared young Molly Helferty's voice to hers... Well, I think Molly's range falls a bit higher, but her timber is just as mellow and velvety as Tracey's - quite amazing! Check out a few of the songs on her channel (just search YouTube for "Molly Helferty") and tell me what you think :D

  44. o.... ....

    4:20, the time :3

  45. V.... S....

    I have to cover this, my god.

  46. O.... S....

    Hahaha. How right you are, my friend. A beautiful journey indeed. ^_^

  47. S.... ....

    thank you I was really wondering who she was! :)

  48. M.... C....

    it's spelled psycho

  49. d.... ....

    Protección

  50. V.... S....

    EBTG's Tracy Thorn once again with MA.. Other fav is "Protection"

  51. p.... l....

    a.... ....

    The soulful voice you're listening to in this track is that of Tracey Thorn.

    The Weekend Players lead singer is Rachel Foster.

  55. a.... g....

    Nice sounds... just close your eyes..

  56. l.... ....

    you're subwoofer may broke down if you dont hear any bass...

  57. h.... ....

    dude, where's the bass?!

  58. a.... ....

    Trip hop, out of Bristol, England. Check out Portishead, Massive Attack, Tricky.

  59. D.... G....

    She sounds like Massive Attack should, Very Beautiful

  60. K.... E....

    sounds of angels

  61. D.... D....

  72. K.... ....

    Just saw this comment. Yeah you're right. Another band to check out is Bent - Always.

  73. K.... ....

    Yeah it sounds a lot like her. Check out Weekend Players [unreleased album] on Soundcloud. Just search in Bing or Google. Her and Andy Cato are greatly underrated.

  74. S.... M....
