[Chorus: 2-D]
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)

[Interlude: Roots Manuva]
Leviticus, oh!
Deuteronomy!

[Verse: Roots Manuva]
Snatch a piece of my wonderin', distant-far like yonderin'
Skin of my tooth like, skin of my boot like
Fly in my soup like, "Where's the waitress?"
Can I take this? Really, can I finish this?
These airs and all these graces
It's my mistake, I'll make it
J-dub to the boom, now make it
Bounce, wiggle, bounce, wiggle, shakin' all them bangs out
Chemical cutthroats, bound to blow the brain out
Cut to the brain, this ain't no game
I'll show no shame, I'll birth this blame
I'm twisted Cain, I'll twist again
I'll push the blade, as plain as day
Known to what these sayers say, known to what these doers do
It's you and who and you-know-where, we's about to take it there
We's about to make it clear, we happy on we lonesome
The long jump, the beat heart, it's start to finish
Ten spoons of spinach, the soul and the spillage
The cup that runneth over, return of the ogre!

[Chorus: 2-D]
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)

[Bridge: Martina Topley-Bird]
Close your eyes and see
When there ain't no light
All you'll ever be, come and save the night
'Cause I don't believe
When the morning comes, it doesn't
Seem to say an awful lot to me

[Chorus: 2-D]
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)
All alone (All alone)

Gorillaz

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
