If I don't get out of this I I wish, I just want you to know that I really really love you.
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become
Key in the door, the moment I've been longing for
Before my bag hit the floor
My adorable children rush up screaming for a kiss,
and a story, they're a gift to this world
My only claim to glory
I surely never knew sweeter days
Blows my mind like munitions
I'm amazed
So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world can ever hold
We're just children, we're just dust
We are small and we are lost
And we're nothing, nothing at all
One bomb, the whole block gone
Can't find me children and dust covers the sun
Everywhere is noise, panic and confusion
But to some, another fun day in Babylon
I'm gonna bury my wife and dig up my gun
My life is done so now I got to kill someone
So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much heaven, so much hell
So much love, so much pain
So much more than I thought this world could ever contain
So much war, so much soul
Moments lost, moments go
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
So much more than I thought this world could ever hold
We think we're heroes, we think we're kings
We plan all kinds of fabulous things
Oh look how great we have become

I'm getting a Eurythmics vibe off these guys. :-)

Hadn't heard this before, but I will follow your advice and listen to the whole album. Thanks! Not sure how I haven't heard of Faithless before, but thanks to RP for another introduction to a great, under-the-radar (at least to me) band.

I wouldn't call this "pseudo Rap". This – rather unique – style of delivering vocals has been very consistent over Maxi's career and become a trademark. I have to admit though that his performance on this track is not among his best.
You should really watch a recording of Faithless performing live – there's absolutely nothing "pseudo" about Maxi Jazz. In fact, he is so energetic or thoughtful that I still consider the Faithless concert I attended to be among my personal top ten concerts.
That guy's pseudo rap vocals ruin this for me.

The album cover features the 1880 oil painting, "Nightfall on the Thames", by John Atkinson Grimshaw.

King & McGaw (and everyone else) call it "Nightfall Down The Thames" for some reason.
https://www.kingandmcgaw.com/prints/john-atkinson-grimshaw
Either way, it's beautiful work, to my eyes. Almost photographic style.
Is that the original Saint Paul's Cathedral in the cover shot?

Sounds like a mix of Alpinestars and Syntax. Nice.

F'nly delightfully hypnotic
Love this record, you are welcome to play this a little more if you like Bill:-)![{#Clap} {#Clap}](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_clap.gif)

First play since 2007? Cool!
Anyone know which of the three versions of Bombs on the album this upload is?

If you can't tell the difference between this and JockJams, then I'm afraid the answer to your question will also escape you.

Very dark, though topical lyrics.
Gutsy, 8.
not their best, but worth listen to.
Huh, I didn't think RP would play Faithless.
Great song! more like this, please.

Do the ratings we put on here really matter. . . I mean if a song is rated constantly low does it get pulled, I don't think so, I think it more for our amusement
If it gets all 1's and really negative comments and everybody hates it then it will be pulled.
If Bill wants to. (it's good to be King) ![high five](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/high-five.gif)
what is this eurotrash lounge garbage?

This band is just sensational live. Don't miss the chance if they're ever playing near you.
He's known as Maxi Jazz, almost certainly on another Faithless track. Very likely "Insomnia" which kicked off the usage of the pizzicato sound in a lot of other dance tracks in the mid 90s. ("I can't get no sleep...")
God, that was a good tune. ![not worthy](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/icon_notworthy.gif)
It's all good!
Little known fact - The guy in Faithless is the brother of Dido.

He sounds like Roddy McDowell, to me... how random is that ![think](https://img.radioparadise.com/emoji/eusa_think.gif)
I'm sure we're doin' a 'run' of LRC upload 'adds'
which I'm delighted to see!
Gives us hope for the 'big day' when it's 'OURS', or even MINE!
Love this song too by the way
got my vote on LRC straight away!

Maxi Jazz. Bill's played "Mass Destruction" by these guys before - that's where you've probably heard him.

Very cool. Never heard of them before.
Again, thanks RP!
Very Intense.

With the conflicts raging in Gaza and the Ukraine at this moment in history, the lyrics provide much food for thought.
