Streets - Memento Mori lyrics
rate meAh, what was the question<br />
Oh yeah, momento mori<br />
It means remember it's inevitable that we will all die<br />
It sounds quite depressing when said so raw and direct<br />
But it means don't hang yourself on a material life<br />
But that gets dropped when I'm bop on shopping day<br />
Am I shallow, am i hung up on such wrong ways<br />
Yes I am shallow and loving every wrong play<br />
If love is blind then why do we all buy lingerie<br />
I've got nothing in my life away from the studio<br />
So when I'm loose I end up consuming dough<br />
<br />
Memento mori, memento mori<br />
It's latin and it says we must all die<br />
I tried it for a while but it's a load of boring shit<br />
So I buy buy buy buy buy buy<br />
<br />
If I start to think of life I have prangs of paranoia<br />
Pull one stripey shirt off a racks or another<br />
Overthink my fate grasping a pastel jumper<br />
Panic buy a flight home, prang though actually sober<br />
Change my mind and fly back into vegas<br />
Buy more pastel shades and some famous labels<br />
Frame the ferrari through the day with the mayhem<br />
Just to forget about the race in my head<br />
I don't really care about the luck and the look<br />
But driving a ferrarri is fucking book<br />
<br />
Memento mori, memento mori<br />
It's latin and it says we must all die<br />
I tried it for a while but it's a load of boring shit<br />
So I buy buy buy buy buy buy<br />
<br />
I think if I could see me now from my growing past<br />
I'd Hate the shirted cunt that seems to be so fucking flash<br />
I reckon from the threadsI think all I think's about cash<br />
But my manager tells me I ought to think about cash<br />
It's like people don't know the eighties started<br />
My car just keeps carding with the card machine<br />
You don't regard the old you, driving a ferrarri<br />
Mine's the driving license through Nevada at speed<br />
I never think about money<br />
In fact I have no idea how much money I have<br />
<br />
Memento mori, memento mori<br />
It's latin and it says we must all die<br />
I tried it for a while but it's a load of boring shit<br />
So I buy buy buy buy buy buy<br />
<br />
Chilly 'n carmen air sips as I'm parting her hair<br />
But I'm an asbo drinker I want to be chilly parkair<br />
But asbo drinkers just don't dig my art and my flair<br />
Even if they dig my asbo driving, past their carlight flair<br />
Sometimes when I my diamond trinkets with my whores<br />
I know I've strayed a bit from my old sins and my walks<br />
But then I laugh out loud that my car still fucking talks<br />
I feel awful for a bit but at least I'm not poor
