Stylo

Bassist Murdoc said: "This is a new sound for Gorillaz. An electro-ish 'crack funk' sound, with a little bit of politics and a lot of soul going down. With 'Stylo', I wanted the music to feel euphoric, whilst still putting across how precarious our tightly packed situation is now, worldwide. Where we're at as a species on this overpopulated planet." (Source Stylo Songfacts).

[Intro: Yasiin Bey] Love, electricity, shockwave central Power on the motherboard, yes Push up, overload, legendary heavy glow Sunshine, thunder roll, keep this on Yes, the lantern burns firm and easy And broadcast, so raw and neatly Thunder roll, sunshine, work it out [Refrain: 2D] Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the [Verse 1: 2D] Oh, Stylo (juice) Go for blossom in your soul When you know your heart is light Electric is the love When the mako flies (it's the giant fish) Up from the bottom in your eyes (as it leaps from the stream) Then I'll know the twilight skies (blood curdles, it's a death throe) Are not so broken hearted (hot from the end of the line) [Chorus: Bobby Womack] If it's love, it's electric It'll be flowing on the streets Night after night Just to get through the week Sometimes it's hard Right now [Verse 2: 2D] Sing yourself (juice) Out of depression, rise above All recession, if I know your heart Electric is the love [Verse 3: Bobby Womack] There's only one way (Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the) Let it play a little while longer (Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the) It's got a way of passing through man and woman (Overload, overload, overload Comin' on to the) In another world, in another world, in a universe, oh!
