(You can hear where "Lust For Life" got its intro...)
I need love, love To ease my mind I need to find someone to call mine But mama said
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait You got to trust, give it time No matter how long it takes
But how many heartaches Must I stand before I find a love To let me live again Right now the only thing That keeps me hangin' on When I feel my strength, yeah It's almost gone I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take
How long must I wait How much more can I take Before loneliness will cause my heart Heart to break?
No I can't bear to live my life alone I grow impatient for a love to call my own But when I feel that I, I can't go on These precious words keeps me hangin' on I remember mama said:
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said trust, give it time No matter how long it takes
No, love, love, don't come easy But I keep on waiting Anticipating for that soft voice To talk to me at night For some tender arms To hold me tight I keep waiting I keep on waiting But it ain't easy It ain't easy But mama said:
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said to trust, give it time No matter how long it takes
You can't hurry love No, you just have to wait She said love don't come easy It's a game of give and take
Your everlasting summer
You can see it fading fast
So you grab a piece of something
That you think is gonna last
You wouldn't know a diamond
If you held it in your hand
The things you think are precious
I cant understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
You been tellin' me you're a genius
Since you were seventeen
In all the time I've known you
I still don't know what you mean
The weekend at the college
Didn't turn out like you planned
The things that pass for knowledge
I cant understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine
I spend a lot of money
And I spent a lot of time
The trip we made to Hollywood
Is etched upon my mind
After all the things we've done and seen
You find another man
The things you think are useless
I cant understand
Are you reelin' in the years
Stowin' away the time
Are you gatherin' up the tears
Have you had enough of mine

Live version (which sounds a little rushed when compared to the studio version) with an introduction by Bill Cosby:
I'm the one natural one, make it easy
we can take it inside
where I can love how I like if I want it
whatever keeps me high
yeah, we can take it
good and loose on an endless spree
good because we made it
and when momma's not around
there's no telling what we'll do when we're free
I'm the one natural one, make it easy
we can take it inside
I can have it cause I act like I love it
it's a matter of pride
yeah, we can take it
good excuse for an endless spree
good because we made it
and if the world is falling down,
it may as well crash with me
when I'm numb natural one
it's the one natural one
(there's no telling what we'll do when we're free)
when I'm numb natural one
(there's no telling what we'll do when we're free)
it's the one natural one
(and you may as well crash with me)
when I'm numb natural one
(there's no telling what we'll do when we're free)
it's the one natural one
(there's no telling what we'll do when we're free)
when I'm numb natural one
(there's no telling what we'll do when we're free)
it's the one natural one
(and you may as well crash with me)

Back in March, in the lead up to the Rainbow Disco Club festival in
Tokyo (an event that would frustratingly be rained off), I was asked to
make a list of my 10 favourite festival tracks. I came up with a dozen,
all edits which have served me well during recent years and certainly
merit anthem status. Around the same time I was approached, via the
Garden Festival’s PR dept. to supply an exclusive mix for the
aforementioned oki-ni series. As an example, I was linked to Derrick
Carter’s contribution, where he referenced the mixes he used to hear on
Chicago dance station WBMX in the early 80’s, focusing on Disco &
Classics.
Whilst thinking about a suitable theme for my mix, I had the
brainwave of working with the list of festival favourites I’d recently
compiled– I thought that putting these 12 tracks together into a single
mix would not only provide a solution, but gives me the opportunity to
document some of the music that’s served me so well in the festival
environment, which I’d never otherwise play all together. So, from
there, it was just a case of finding a way to jigsaw them into a
coherent whole, which didn’t prove to be difficult, the mix coming
together in no time.
It wasn’t until I’d submitted it mix that I found time to have a look
at the oki-ni website and check out some of the mixes already on there,
a pretty substantial 75 of them. It was only then that I realised that
my approach was somewhat out of sync with the ethos of the series,
which was outlined as follows; ‘the series aims to venture off the
dancefloor, allowing the artists involved the freedom to produce unique
and personal mixes that speak directly to them. The results are always
eclectic, compelling, and unique’.
Being that this was supposed to be more a personal choice tunes you
wouldn’t play out, rather than the clearly themed mix I’d mistakenly
believed it was, I pointed out this anomaly, but was assured that all
was fine. Had I not been off to the US that weekend, then onto Japan,
I’d have probably insisted on doing something else, which fitted their
criteria, but they insisted that they were more than happy with what I’d
done, so it became the mix #76 in the oki-ni series (and exclusive to
their website for the past few months):

Half of the tracks are my own edits, half other people’s (big up
Psychemagik, Dimitri From Paris, Joey Negro, Bermuda Triangle, Leftside
Wobble and Michael Cook). The mix features some iconic names, The
Beatles, The Beach Boys, Talking Heads, The Clash, Marvin Gaye &
Tammi Terrell, Prince and Fleetwood Mac included. As they say, great
music never dies, especially when there’s an edit that helps introduce
it to a whole new younger audience, whilst rejuvenating the spirit of an
older one in the process. Hopefully this collection of climatic tunes
will help bring on the festival spirit – here’s to sun and mud to come!
One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you I don't care what you think Unless it is about me It is now my duty to completely drain you I travel through a tube And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you Pass it back and forth In a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours I like you
With eyes so dilated I've become your pupil You've taught me everything Without a poison apple The water is so yellow I'm a healthy student Indebted and so grateful Vacuum out the fluids
Chew your meat for you Pass it back and forth In a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours I like you You
Yeahhhhhhhhhh One baby to another says I'm lucky to have met you I don't care what you think Unless it is about me It is now my duty to completely drain you I travel through a tube And end up in your infection
Chew your meat for you Pass it back and forth In a passionate kiss From my mouth to yours Sloppy lips to lips You're my vitamins I like you
