[Bridge: 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: 2-D]
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: 2-D]
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 throw)
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: 2-D]
Sing yourself (juice)
Out of depression, rise above
All recession, if I know your heart
Electric is the love

[Verse 3: Bobby Womack & 2-D]
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! (Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the)
Right now, here's what we've got to do

[Chorus: Bobby Womack & 2-D]
If it's love, it's electric (Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the)
It'll be flowing on the streets (Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the)
Night after night (Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the)
Just to get through the week
Sometimes it's hard (Overload, overload, overload
Comin' on to the)
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout...

[Bridge: 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

[Outro: Bobby Womack]
Right now!

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.
