Lyrics
0:00Memento Mori - The Streets
0:05Ah what was the question
0:07Oh yeah momento mori
0:08It means remember it's inevitable that we will all die
0:12It sounds quite depressing when said so raw and direct
0:14But it means don't hang yourself on a material life
0:18But that gets dropped when I'm bop on shopping day
0:21Am I shallow am I hung up on such wrong ways
0:24Yes I am shallow and loving every wrong play
0:26If love is blind then why do we all buy lingerie
0:29I've got nothing in my life away from the studio
0:33So when I'm loose I end up consuming dough
0:35Memento mori memento mori
0:38It's latin and it says we must all die
0:41I tried it for a while but
0:42It's a load of boring sh*t
0:44So I buy buy buy buy buy buy
0:47If I start to think of life I have prangs of paranoia
0:50Pull one stripey shirt off a racks or another
0:53Overthink my fate grasping a pastel jumper
0:56Panic buy a flight home prang though actually sober
0:59Change my mind and fly back into vegas
1:02Buy more pastel shades and some famous labels
1:05Frame the ferrari through the day with the mayhem
1:08Just to forget about the race in my head
1:11I don't really care about the luck and the look
1:14But driving a ferrarri is f**king book
1:17Memento mori memento mori
1:20It's latin and it says we must all die
1:22I tried it for a while but
1:24It's a load of boring sh*t
1:25So I buy buy buy buy buy buy
1:29I think if I could see me now from my growing past
1:32I'd hate the shirted cunt that seems to be so f**king flash
1:35I reckon from the threadsI think all I think's about cash
1:38But my manager tells me I ought to think about cash
1:41It's like people don't know the eighties started
1:44My car just keeps carding with the card machine
1:47You don't regard the old you driving a ferrarri
1:50Mine's the driving license through nevada at speed
1:52I never think about money
1:55In fact I have no idea how much money I have
1:58Memento mori memento mori
2:01It's latin and it says we must all die
2:04I tried it for a while
2:05It's a load of boring sh*t
2:07So I buy buy buy buy buy buy
2:10Chilly 'n carmen air sips as I'm parting her hair
2:13But I'm an asbo drinker I want to be chilly parkair
2:16But asbo drinkers just don't dig my art and my flair
2:19Even if they dig my asbo driving past their carlight flair
2:22Sometimes when I my diamond
2:24Trinkets with my whores
2:25I know I've strayed a bit
2:26From my old sins and my walks
2:28But then I laugh out loud that my car still f**king talks
2:31I feel awful for a bit but at least I'm not poor
