Coming loose, at the seams
Blind spots, voices
Control's gone, I'm like a balloon
Cut it out, emotion

Distance, it grows now
You don't, reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars

Save me give me wings to fly
Make me your reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the morn

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

Headlights, black demons
Peering in my hollow core
Grudges they're strangling
On splinters and dry skin

Streetlights, they see me
The whole world will reach for me
All I got, all I got
Is my scars

Save me give me wings to fly
Make me your reason to fight
Suddenly we'll cross a home
Remember me into the night

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

I'll kiss you then you'll wake up
Don't want you to meet your maker
And you don't believe in fairy tales
Well truly I'm gonna make ya

Cause I've come here to save ya
Finna none of that miss I'mma take ya
I can rap I can rhyme like karma
Be your knight in shining armor

Oh no I ain't got no Porsche
Just give me a shield and a sword and a horse
And I'll come ridin' ridin' ridin'
Give me a little one on the back

I'mma turn around and get you on back
I'mma turn around and get you on back
It's gone right from fiction to a fact
I'm gonna take you out this world, oh!

Kiss me then I'll wake up (x5)
Fairy tales make up

Kiss me (x5)
Fairy tales make up

OMG PSD WTF Beyonce's pro tools unit got stuck in an act of sex with Mia. 
I have not rated a song in years, but this (ohh ahh) track (ohh haa) got me (ohh ahh) out of (ohh ahh) my seat (ohh haa) to dust off (oh ahh) the ol' sucko-barfo! Please never play this again.

I like Basement Jaxx but this is not very good isn't it? 

 
No, it isn't.
{#Frustrated}
I love this inclusion because of how it wakes up the snobs.  Then kisses them.  Then we hear Vast - Thrown Away.  Everyone relax ...

Sucko Barfo sums it up.  Please don't play this again.
unfortunately this track diverges from RP nature... geeeez
please make it stop
Certainly not my cup of tea.
 
RELIEF!  PSD>> got me Me and Julio Down By the School Yard!
This is one of those tracks that makes me turn Radio Paradise off.  For 3 days.
This is hot! Electronic music like all the other genres is equally deserving of respect. This track stands out.
Great stuff thx !
 
This selection didn't work for me... 


Hey what is this?

It sure is a miss.

Not in a bliss.

It should be dissed.

Lift the seat, if you piss. 


Those be be some killer lyrics I just wrote. Now where is my mutha !@78&**   check? 
Eclectic, yes.  Good, no.  

But I give an A for effort and shaking things up.  
I like it. 
Gawd this is horrible.
I can't wait for this song to be over. 
 
Love me some Jaxx!
At the turntable...

 

ELIZA!!! 
I like it when he ruffles their feathers....
They need to learn!

{#Clap}

A bold selection, Bill and Rebecca!  Bound to ruffle some feathers though...
Bill, please.  Seriously.  Please

{#Grumpy}

Second door on the left, light switch is on the right, flush when your done. please.
Absolutely horrible. Please never play this again.
Really?
how did this make it onto RP?  sometimes i think Bill puts stuff on just to read our comments.  this sucks.  even by Basement Jaxx standards.
I'll move it up to "2" since it probably entertains Bill to freak us all out a "little."
Possibly the worst song I've ever heard on RP. Reaching for PSD button...
Musical diversity has to have a limit.

Worst song of all time...please stop playing this POS.
What the hell is this crap?
I MUST assume this is added by an error...
Or Bill let his cat be DJ ;)
I really wish I could give it a minus score.
s'crazy.   I kinda like it though. sum'fin different.
Terrible song tune racket piece of music noise. But, hey, this is what is happening somewhere, so it should be heard. Respect to RP for playing it.
It ain't no happy day.

I can't find my jay.

Is that sun, or a ray?

Why must I pay?

Is it Wray or Fay? 

The dragon I slay.

The dog will bay.

All work, no play.

Leave don't stay.


It's another masterpiece of a song...now where's my mother$$^&** recording contract? 
I had to check to make sure I was still on Radio Paradise....ugh that was bad Bill
Sorry, not for me.  I had to check and see if someone hacked RP.
migraine inducing  {#Frown}
Looks like I'm a contrarian again. This is unusual which immediately gets a "Me Likee" from me. This is why I come to RP. Thanks for turning me onto another band Bill.
Thought there was a video playing in another tab and was confused when I couldn't find it... this is NOT something I'd have expected to hear on RP. Interesting.
Ouch - I like a wide variety of music - but not this song.
Worse than Bob Dylan? Yup. PSD>>
{#Clap}oh Bill, I'm "having a moment": Bowie, old Prince and then Basement Jaxx....  
Sucko-barfo... sorry :)
What's that?

I've noticed you're playing a lot of the same stuff over and over, like you have a top 40 list, much to my chagrin. But Rap music is the last straw, if I hear more of that , I'm outta here.

 
Spare us the hyperbole and the whining.  If you know a station with a more diverse playlist, let's hear it.  

And this isn't even rap...    
second hearing and liking it more. bumping from 4 -> 6.
Sorry Bill, but I just added my name to the list of 1-raters.  This is a mess.
H-o-r-r-I-b-l-e!!!!  Noisy and irritating. 
Jesus, what the hell?
Beyonce would be proud.
It was a godless sound; one of those low-keyed, insidious outrages of Nature which are not meant to be. To call it a dull wail, a doom-dragged whine, or a hopeless howl of chorused anguish and stricken flesh without mind would be to miss its most quintessential loathsomeness and soul-sickening overtones.

Yeah, why not?  Shake away!

 
Comfort is one thing, this terrible song is another.
And the melody is somewhere...  in the beeps... Hmmm, not really able to figure it out...

Without some robot moves... May need to hear it a few more times...

Nope, need the robot moves... and a dance floor...  Damn, no dance floor...

 
Thank you, Bill! I bought the CD I love this so much. Variety is the spice..., and you certainly dish it out.  Keep up the great work and keep exposing us to challenges.
Bill, you rock!  ...the never stale RP!!
Clearly Bill started his New Years Celebration way early!
Please let this song end
 
Ohh Please make it stop

Good stuff! Love the ratings...'no world is perfect, not even the RP listeners one'
The rating on this song is embarrassing to everyone who rates songs on this forum.
jeez - i had almost forgotten about these guys.....i thought maybe he doesn't play them any more after all the complaints!!!
No surprise the dopey old stoners out here did not dig. Comfortably Dumb. You'd think the Pink Floyd in rotation would be  enough to keep em sated.

You seriously think this is rap music?  Wow... Maybe someone as closed-minded as you would indeed be better off elsewhere.
I do not recall two songs in a row so bad. This is a testament to otherwise great music selection.

Please Never Play This Song Again.. Images of Linda Blair and projected gnarl pervade... Made me want to jam pencils into my ears

Exactly.  It seems like anything that is out of the ordinary is automatically lambasted here.  Maybe it's all the old farts that should just stick to their local classic schlock radio.  Variety is the spice of life.
Knew this would upset the RP demographic. Rather like their fathers before them recoiling in horror at the Who or some such.
 Big influence on Jay Z who attempts the same fusion of dubs, beats and rap but does it mindlessly and artlessly. This however, works.
Really? I mean really?
Ok...so I guess Radio Paradise DOES play just about everything. It's been confirmed.

and that one should definitely be thrown far far far away never to be seen again, it's rating says it all. 3.4 ???
Are you serious?? WTF{#Fire}
This song made me stop and start RP just in case
Please, for the love of all that is Holy, put a warning on the air before playing anything from Basement Jaxx so that we may remove headphones, lower volumne, or press PSD before being subjected to this sonic torture.

Accurate and seasonal!
Make it stop.
I'm a little surprised this is on Radio Paradise. WTH??  I listen to RP to get away from this crap music.
No, just no.  
...nice segue from vienna teng!..
Ick. Thumbs down on this one, Bill.
If I want to hear stuff like this, I will go stand next to my daughter's bedroom door.
Am I the only one that wants to see this make a triumphant comeback? If only for more entertaining comments from the RP community.

I agree!  It's got a great groove.

I'll take it over that crappy "world music" any day.
Wow. That was annoying. Annoying enough for me to log on to say it's annoying.
It's such a drag, while doing my work with Radio Paradise playing, to have to turn off the sound.  
So Mr. DJ thinks this "song" is kind of cool.  I think doing biopsies is kind of cool, but I don't subject everybody to them, if you follow.

214 sucko-barfos? WTF? It's surely not that bad, is it? Even Dengue Fever songs don't rate as badly. I can see how it might irritate many, but it's interesting, different and well-produced. 8 from the perverse swimming-against-the-current Nottingham jury.
 
Well done Freddy-Boy - I have given it 10 to make things more interesting!
Doesn't bother me at all. Fixed a monotonous morning.
LOL

it's not that bad...

I like the Yoko Ono one though.  Shrug.
