Time Is Hardcore (feat. Kae Tempest & Anita Blay)

The past is, the past is The past is a bastard Keeps asking for favours And turning up half-cut at family parties With the same old excuses Breaking all the furniture And changing the music Can't wrench nothing out of yesterday, it's gone How do you settle that score? Got you like a soldier in peace time desperate for war 'Cause what was real then isn't real anymore Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning Or let it all smash, keep winning Or give it all back, keep running Or let it go flat, let it go No, you won't get it back Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning Or let it all smash, keep winning Or give it all back, keep running Or let it go flat, let it go No, you won't get it back Wе've come a long, long, long, long way From the start Wе've come a long, long, long, long way From the start And even if we fall from grace We get back up We've come a long, long way We've come a long, long way Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh Time is hardcore Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh Forwards the whole day, backwards the whole night Wake up with yesterday's shadow And hold tight to nothing Slow flight to nowhere Ready to jump but there's no air It's all made of glass and steel Proof is real Get it embossed on the gold-plated wheel Spin it until it reveals the reason you don't feel to feel Held up by decisions you make It's a mistake but it isn't too late Somewhere it's morning, call it, it's bait I'm the genuine article in a world of superior fakes How very internet of you The right-on-o-meter is striking a thousand I want bliss, lean in, kiss Feel bass in face and lips Exist, exist or, if not that, then this Look, I was in a gold robe, beaming The light was intense and the strength I was feeling Was swimming lengths in my veins I believed in love The way of all flesh had decreed it love The way of all flesh had decreed it love (The way of all flesh had decreed it love) Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning Or let it all smash, keep winning Or give it all back, keep running Or let it go flat, let it go No, you won't get it back Keep spinning or stop in your tracks, keep grinning Or let it all smash, keep winning Or give it all back, keep running Or let it go flat, let it go No, you won't get it back We've come a long, long, long, long way From the start We've come a long, long, long, long way From the start And even if we fall from grace We get back up We've come a long, long way We've come a long, long way Oh Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh Yeah-ah-ah-ah oh How very internet of you Time is hardcore Hardcore Hardcore
