Sneaker Pimps - Splinter Lyrics

🌬🖤

Try'n to ascertain where the Crumar Roadrunner keyboard was used, and with what effect ?

Qué tiempos.

If you listen to sneaker pimps, unkle and massive attack. Let me tell you- you're fuckin cool.

What is this garbage? Where's Kelli Dayton?

Making really bad solo stuff.

thanks sneaker pimps for forming my youth. was listening to this every day while going to school, traveling over the whole city, some joint during it, oh shit..

One of my favorite albums since I first heard it on the day it was released!

curl is soo goodd

i can see that lil peep listened to them alot

best sneaker pimps album ever :)

This should have more airplay

Half
Life



Half life wastes before it goes

It's funny how your bee sting touch

Never leaves me whole

It's not enough to stay here almost trying

You keep your last laugh watch this dying

It's just your half time vertigo

And if you want an answer

I don't know



If you had completed me

Don't think I'd be pleased with you

Don't think I'd complete with you

With half of me to take



Half life nothing I'd call home

It's lucky how these phantom limb

Bee stings never show

It's not enough to leave this falling kindly

You burn my star down twice as brightly

It's just your half light undertow

But if you need forgiveness

I don't know



If you had completed me

Don't think I'd be pleased with you

Don't think I'd complete with you

With half of me to take



Half light breaks with nothing wrong

Just a corner of my bed

Where you don't belong

It's kind of you to notice no one's dying

You had your last laugh almost crying

It's just your half life long to know

And if you need a reason so it goes



If you had completed me

Don't think I'd be pleased with you

Don't think I'd complete with you

With half of me to take

Low Five



It takes too much to please me

Attached but no real feeling

High fives and corporate anthems

Nothing comes to mind

Kitemarked for true low standards

Where more wants all and no less

Just change with no real progress

Nothing comes to mind

I want higher

But nothing comes to mind



Give me a low five

Cause I can't help myself

I'm a low five downsize no one else

Do you love yourself?



These altered states and egos

Potential less than zero

Found God in San Diego

Nothing comes to mind



Give me a low five

Cause I can't help myself

I'm a low five downsize no one else

Do you love yourself?



I half expect to find myself

In full control of nothing else

Lost hope but learnt to hopeless

Nothing comes to mind

I want higher

But nothing comes to mind



Give me a low five

Cause I can't help myself

I'm a low five downsize no one else

Do you love yourself?

(x2)



Lightning Field



Strike me down

Give me everything you've got

Strike me down

I'll be everything I'm not

Count the questions on one hand

You don't ask me what I planned

Strike me down

Should have asked me what went wrong

Strike me down

Should have stayed away too long (x2)



Strike me down

Give it everything you've got

Chance me now

I'll be everything I'm not

Hope's the child of what luck brings

Points the faith in higher things

Ask me now

Fire at everything at once

Strike me down

Take it any way you want (x2)



Strike me down

Better left it all unknown

Strike me down

Should have left it all alone

Wash the questions off my hands

I'm the fate in no one's plans

Strike me down

Give it everything you've got

Strike me down

I'll be everything I'm not (x2)

Everything I'm not

I'll be everything I'm not



Curl



Now your future's got me told

Stopped breathing on my own

I curl to break consent

To print the fact in stone

Suppose for seconds you forget your past

Neglect to turn in think straight stand out last



And I just curl now

To help me find you out

We're keeping devils down, sleeping sound

(x2)



Now your newspeak's aging thin

A pale and hanging faith

A devil sick on sin

Will curl against it's place

Suppose for seconds you forget your past

Neglect to turn in think straight stand out last



And I just curl now

To help me find you out

We're keeping devils down, sleeping sound

(x2)



Itch to scratch

To strike my past from all it's owed...

It's sold, it's sold, it's sold



And I just curl now

To help me find you out

We're keeping devils down, sleeping sound

(x2)



Destroying Angel



I know you know my head's not in this now

Nothing you could keep so keep me down

Like the stones beneath the water that you walk on

To be taller

And the hands you stuck together when you prayed

You'd wait forever

Just another fragile angel heart

Falling down on lead wings torn apart



And words beneath my skin

The ink that you put in

Destroying all the things you've left around

Earthbound's coming down, come down, come down

Come round



So what you have the nerve to call a friend

Is starved of all the sense to make amends

Cause I'm the glass you break to touch

But you never want me much

Like the view across the water from your shoes

Two feet smaller

I know it doesn't pay to be this hurt

Falling off the morning getting worse



And words beneath my skin

The ink that you put in

Destroying all the things you've left around

Earthbound's coming down, come down, come down

Come round



Cause I'm down

I'm down

(x2)

Yes I'm down

Help me, I'm down

Tell me, I'm down

I'm down



Empathy



Her innocence above me

Today is dead, she's around my head

Between my history, between my headphones

This is her home, forever her home



But I can't be her brother

To empower her to become her

Trawl through this forgiveness

My memory's so empathy low

Empathy low

Empathy low



This attitude beneath her

The evidence it denies us

Proves herself to be closer

But not me

Forever not me



This sickness avoids all cure

Imperfection my downfall

I learn myself through symptoms

My memory's so empathy low

Empathy low

Empathy low



Superbug



I aim to bug you on your vacancy

Never complicate but you talk it cheap

You sense but you don't know

Too lame to catch a cold



Slowly the signs will read you dumb

Surely the times will feel you numb

I know the pains you took to show me

And I'm nothing but your superbug for asking



I hate to bug you on your certainty

Never compromise, you're just always weak

You care but you don't show

Too proud to catch the flow

And under all the truth and facts there's faith enough

If you can't live on love alone it isn't love



Slowly the signs will read you dumb

Surely the times will feel you numb

I know the depths you sunk to show me

I want the life the world still owes me

And I'm nothing but your superbug for asking

Answer, stamp me out



And I'd love to break your fall but no one's asking me

Answer, stamp me out



Slowly the signs will read you dumb

Surely the times will feel you numb

I know the pains you took to show me

You said it hurts your head to know me

And I'm nothing but your superbug for asking

Answer, stamp me out

Flowers
And Silence



We're always too always in doubt

Works on me

She's nowhere she mainlines helps me out

Now I can speak



Was heard not seen wasted nothing's free

Was black was bruised fucked up twenty two



And I'm amazed you eat you sleep you function at all

Cause my aim's so weak but I'd fail to get into my arm

Was made the first to laugh

Tried but the tribute short changed kindness

Flowers and silence

Was made the first to laugh

Charmed but the weather broke me sober

I've never been colder



Seen braver seemed braver since then

But never been

No favors no saviors no sense

It's not in me



So nothing's free ghostdrunk out of reach

So action this cared less never missed



And you preach you teach did I learn you nothing at all

I'm too dumb to see but you stooped for someone this small

Was made the first to laugh

Tried but the tribute short changed kindness

Flowers and silence

Was made the first to laugh

Charmed but the weather broke me sober

I've never been colder



You'll always be closing me down

Works on me

Denied me remind me

I'm sold out

Just skin and teeth



Left black and bruised fucked up nothing new

Was heard not seen wasted so nothing's free

Cute
Sushi Lunches

Pretty raw with it

Cute sushi lunches

Nineteen steps from out under your feet

Can't eat won't eat

Have, have not me



Can't eat, won't eat

Sushi lunches

(x2)



Pretty down on this

Cold feet excuses

One lane talk where art and life don't meet

Can't see, won't see

Have, have not me



Hate like a child

Hates his haircut

Can't eat, won't eat

Sushi lunches



Ten To Twenty



Different ways of counting

Fingers running through your hair

Ten to twenty lifelines

If you doubt how this compares

There's fear enough to share

A fear of loathing

So easy how you bear

The trace of me without you there



So fall like the snow

Too much too slow

So fragile to say

Hanging over every day

A breeze with contempt

To shame the others

A story's too thin

To cover all your lovers



Count me out your standards

Shadow trade in competence

Ten to twenty answers

Shouting down on confidence

Too easy not to share

To vain for secrets

There's fear enough in there

A taste of need in someone's care



So fall like the snow

Too much too slow

So fragile to say

Hanging over every day

A breeze with contempt

To shame the others

A story's too thin

To cover all your lovers

(x2)



Splinter



I see you couldn't catch your breath

Believe me, it's all that it must be

You see I never said my piece

If only you left it that easy

Fractured we have been

Since sometime sixteen

Failure was on me

Cause your ideals bore me



Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?

Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under?

So colored by you

But your monkey messed it up

Surrendered by you

Your monkey's longwhile had enough

You're like scissors in my coat

You're like splinters in my cup



I know you couldn't care me less

Keep hoping, it's all only token

You know I never had my say

If only you'd kept it that open

Loser I have been

But it's so lost on me

Splintered I will be

When your peace breaks cheap



Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder?

Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under?

Three color blind you

But your monkey messed it up

Surrendered by you

Your monkey's longwhile had enough

You're like scissors in my coat

You're like splinters in my cup



Wife By Two Thousand

Never so complete just failing on its feet

Choking out these last few days here

Never ever lied all confidence at all times

Trying hard to love myself

I think that I need some working on

So work on me

I think that nothing's getting through

So get to me

Just another no show waste of passing go

Christ knows how we get to be here



No one's broken

No one's beaten

I can see a rainbow near them

I can see a rainbow

I can see a rainbow



Never so confused just laughed out cost abused

Aiming loosely your direction

Always too extreme all case and cause to plead

Striving hard to spite yourself

I think that I need some working on

So work on me

I think that nothing's getting through

So get to me

Just another no name taken passing blame

Christ knows how we get to be here



No one's broken

No one's beaten

I can see a rainbow near them

I can see a rainbow

I can see a rainbow



Always coming clean all case and cause to bleed

Trying hard to like yourself

Never so complete just failing on its feet

Choking out its last few breaths here

I think that I need some working on

So work on me

I think that nothing's getting through

So get to me

Just another no show scissors paper stone

Christ knows why we get to be here



No one's broken

No one's beaten

I can see a rainbow near them

I can see a rainbow

I can see a rainbow

kelli sang better than you, chris. You know that.

Dude, who gives a shit? Kelli was a hired gun that never did anything of any merit or consequence before or after Becoming X.

Are you aware that it isn't even posted by the author himself? Who are you speaking to?

I'm just really curious

to you. you just answered.

As the Official Ambassador of the Internet, I implore you to cease your foggotry at once!

I think they are both great and they would both sound good taking turns on an album. Things happen though and I'm content with Chris. He's got a good despair type vocal style, works really well imo.

This is the best Sneaker Pimps album in my opinion. I was surprised to find this one on YouTube.

I don’t think there is any words to describe how amazing this album is.

Half life is so sensual.

Phantom Anna ty😊

the one person who disliked this obviously couldn't see a rainbow!

What the fuck is going on

Ten to Twenty....mama! Again and again and again...

I cry! Thanks! Regrats from México

Would it be possible to add time stamps to the songs?

if I can overcome my laziness yeah

AThousandPapercuts ..so thankful you uploaded this: You are one of the good ones😊

About time this album got put up! Amazing piece of work.

this album is so beautiful, I love the acoustic, the electronic, and his vocals. I've explored all the Sneaker Pimps albums and all the IAmX albums. This one speaks to me the most. I love half the songs on this album very much. Which is more than most albums I enjoy. Half life, lightning field, destroying angel, empathy, flowers and silence, splinter, wife by two thousand. And unattach. Honestly, I'm not a fan of the rest of the songs but the ones i love, I LOVE. I'm the pickiest music bitch but I love this cd so much because there are so many songs that are really good.

Still listening to it regularly. It's definitely a close second to becoming x. Better than bloodsport. for sure.

This is a work of art. So much depth to this album, you can tell it was a labour of love.

Didn't know this album existed until today. Thanks.

one of the best albums i own!!!!!

This is one of the most underrated albums out there, IMO. So many great tracks!

Wow! I thought I was the only person in the whole world who appreciated this album.
I think it is one of if not the greatest albums ever .
Glad to see other peoples coments.

It's because once they got rid of Kelli nobody cared. It's definitely a good album but when I listen to this I just imagine how much better it would be with Kelli's voice. Just not a fan of Chris' voice at all, much too Liam Gallagher for my taste. Sounds like Oasis trying to do trip-hop. It would be like if Portishead fired Beth Gibbons after Dummy and had some dude sing all the songs on their self titled. Just wouldn't work at all imo.

Totally agree!!!

they should of kept the girl but still had some songs with the guy singing like arcade fire or phantagram

Same✨ I'm obsessed with this album, I prefer a hundred times Chris Corner as the lead vocalist

THANK YOU SO MCUH!
