Massive Attack - Five Man Army Lyrics
[Daddy G]
Trendy wendys you know what i mean
Hangin' around with girl who's rolling up her jeans
She watches her street cred 'cause she's no dummy
Says I know what I want don't move with thugs
We're house parties hip hop and smoking drugs
And whoever's been the boss she's down with 'em
She's always on time 'cause the girl got rhythm
To avoid all complications i'll give some information
About a certain location under Paddington Station
'Cause when I host my show-a I avoid the girl called lola
Who's more pu-pu-public than the drink they call it coca cola
I’m just practice posing face is shaded in black
Is dominating as my color the massive attack
[Tricky]
I take a small step now it's a giant stride
People say I'm loud why should I hide
Only had a small taste so what a waste
I quietly observe though it's not my space
Bottom end's heavy you know we're never even
People call me Tricky for particular reason
I've got you see and I've got to let you know
See we're rockin' in your area rock beneath your balcony
My baby just cares for me well that's funny
Her touch tickles especially on my tummy
[Daddy G]
Now who's got the microphone
[Tricky]
Now who's honey
[Daddy G]
A turbo turbo and chant with a charge
Addy, Daddy G wild bunch crew at large
Don't call me an officer just call me a sarge
Mashing up the country planning also abroad
Plan to go to America when I get a visa card
[Tricky]
But gettin' a visa card nowadays isn't hard
[Daddy G]
So keep your ears glued listen to every chord
Tokyo city's one place that we toured
Four technic plus two mixer board
Sharper than a Wilkinson razor sword
[3D]
When I was a child I played subbuteo on
My table then I graduate to studio one
’Cos D’s my nom de plume you know but 3’s my pseudonym
And around my neck you know I wear the sony budokan
Indigo blues you got me in my own shoes
The people dancing in the shape for what they make
They can't lose
Yes waxing lyrical but this time it's not satirical
It's kinda spherical so jam me in a circle
This is the miracle of the dubplate dub selection
[Daddy G]
So whether you're black white or half-caste in your complection
[3D]
Yes pull out your phono plug and tuck you in your phony
It's started by marconi resumed by sony
A summary by wireless history and only
The massive attack enorme explosione
[Horace Andy]
Get away with you gangsters
We don't want it
Get away with you gangsters
We don't like it
Eternal love eternal love
Money money money
Root of all evil
Money money money
Root of all evil

People call me trikky for particular reasons
My favorite song🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Money not root of all evil. Mans greed is. Money can be used to create a better earth and to help people. It can grow your self.
Jah love, jah truth
Woah oh ah...
massive attack oh yeah!!!
Eric B. and Rakim - Mahogany
Mashive!
Skylarkinnnnn!!! Jah bless up massive attack
This album is a classic. They used Wally Badarou's Mambo from his album Echoes for Daydreaming. Wally is one of the Compass Point All Stars that influenced bands like Massive Attack.
eternal love eternal love
Daddy g should be a rapper
Guitar tone tips? Slapback/echo?

Horace Andy
I am feeling grateful to these keepers of the groove. Arguably the best collection of samples ever made next to Mezzanine.
Name a cooler, organic, British on point tune than this. So many lines to quote.
Suffocated Love
Could listen to this all day
Thievery Corporation much? ;)
This was released in 1994. Probably before the members of thievery corporation had even been born. Sigh.
“Gettin your visa card nowadays isnt hard” my ass. Do i need to remind tricky why he had to cancel the NYC show i had tickets to?
Always reminds me of
a good friend of mine Mr Roy Bird.
Rest in peace sire.
Amazing song - the way vocals sound and the skank rhythm in the background makes it one of its kind!
Stunning, their best song ever. Always thought so. Theyre geniuses...(geniii?)
Makes me wanna go back to the 90s!!!

"getting a visa card nowadays isn't hard"
oh how times have changed
I think it was meant to be sarcastic.
the best of Daddy G
house parties, hip hop and smoking drugs
I miss the 90s
there isn't one bad massive attack song
100th Window wasn't a great album.
Not on this album (at least)
There are so many more than that.
Such a fantastic album. Great music to chill to while drinking a cocktail
TIL Today, "Drinking a cocktail" is euphemism or smoking a big phat spliff.
Underrated Massive Attack song
So sad they don’t play any of those underrated gems on concerts now :(
I know this one is with tricky but still... would love to hear that one live
one of my all time favorites.
@SAtURaToR They're fucking sellouts. The old stuff is absolutely golden. Why do artists do this shit...
I rate it very highly, it's my favourite.
Hello :)
I would like to know which Horace Andy song has this chorus which is playing at 00:54...
:) ty. I thought maybe there is a song with this tune :) its really catchy :)
The track buried in the mix is "Five Man Army" by Dillinger, Trinity, Wayne Wade, Al Campbell and Junior Tamlins, which was itself a version of Echo Minott's "Man In Love" (cover of Babs Streisand's "Woman in Love" btw)
Thank you :)
The words Horace sings are a medley of quotes from his old Studio One and Bunny Lee singles - "Eternal Love", "Skylarking", "Money Money" plus a quote from Lloyd Robinson's 1968 hit "Cuss Cuss"
The riddim was similar to the old Soul Vendors tune "Drum Song" from 1967
@Douglas Thomson I also hear al green in the drumtrack
bravo !!!!!!!
Man Tricky is really the MVP on this album. He's 75% of the great lines.
I love this song :)
I love this song :)
the three people who disliked this need to die.
They will genius
chill as fuck, pleasure to listen and chill back to while stoned :)
The two people who gave this a thumbs down need to be punched square in the face...
Five people now. Much extremely warranted face punching. =/
more like urgent hospitalization
well that's consequential
I came to say exzactly that! No accounting for taste eh
Aphex Twin
Wow, typical nasty closed minded tolerant lefty Massive Attack types here then.
One of the BEST Massive Attack track ever!!!
No. The best Massive Attack track.
goes hard AF
smooth as fuck
Would the 2 morons who disliked this song kindly take to the witness stand and explain to the court exactly why they don't like this song!? Expect some eggs to be thrown your way. Just sayin ;)
Yeah too right, but amazing it only have 4 dislikes in five a bit years! :)
top cat!
"MONEY...ROOT OF ALL EViL"...truth ;(((
Oh dear God
Brings back good memories from the 90's.
the best massive attack tune. every song is tip but this one right here
their finest tune, by miles......
