Every Planet We Reach Is Dead

Essential funk. Mr. Ike Turner doing what he is good at. And 2-D doing, what he loves. It's been known for a while, that 2-D really loves funk/soul music. The keyboards are just crazy on this track, with the best guitar of the album. And, then there are the lyrics. "I love you. But what are we going to do"? This is just a great example of how good of a song-writer Damon Albarn really is. After hearing this, all the soul-music gods will be banging their heads against the walls, thinking "How come I never wrote this?".

Lyrics:
 

I lost my leg,
Like I lost my way.
So no loose ends
And nothing to see me down.
How are we going to work this out?

Dreams all bad,
A head turned mad.
I love the girl,
But God only knows it's
Getting hard to see the sun coming through
I love you
But what are we going to do?

Picture I'm a dreamer
I'll take you deeper
Down to the sleepy glow.
Time is a low, don't you know?
What are we going to do?

When we go down
All this sickness out in space
All it doesn't fall in
I want to see you again
I love you
But what are we going to do?
