Aftermath Lyrics
[Martina Topley-Bird]
For once, there's someone
For he, for she
For once, there's someone
For he, for me
[Tricky & Martina Topley-Bird]
Your eyes resemble mine
You see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom
Speak of our peoples plan
I'll be here for my baby
For my baby I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you
Things you need to hear
[Tricky]
So this is the Aftermath
[Sample]
"Let me tell you about my mother"
[Mark Stewart]
How can I be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure?
For once, there's someone
For he, for she
For once, there's someone
For he, for me
[Tricky & Martina Topley-Bird]
Your eyes resemble mine
You see as no others can
Here inherit my kingdom
Speak of our peoples plan
I'll be here for my baby
For my baby I'll be near
So many things I need to tell you
Things you need to hear
[Tricky]
So this is the Aftermath
[Sample]
"Let me tell you about my mother"
[Mark Stewart]
How can I be sure?
In a world that's constantly changing
How can I be sure?
