Pass the Parcel (Hodge Remix Dub)

Wrap it up

Turn it loose

Pass it on

Make your move

Wrap it up

Turn it loose

Pass it on

Make your move

Is there a reason why you’re waiting

For me to lose control?

All the lies that you keep stating

Are taking a hold

Is there an offer that you’re making

To make up for what you stole

When the parcel that you’re shaking

It rattles with coal

But keep it to yourself

Don’t let them know it’s me

And keep your eyes down low

There’s nothing here to see

There’s a feeling I’d forgotten

And you buried it deep inside

What was ripe will soon turn rotten

Or so you implied

But then you loved to leave me broken

It seemed to give you a sense of pride

To wrap me up in words unspoken

This parcel of lies

But keep it to yourself

Don’t let them know it’s me

And keep your eyes down low

There’s nothing here to see

Wrap it up

Turn it loose

Pass it on

Make your move

Wrap it up

Turn it loose

Pass it on

Make your move

If I could take it back, all of this wasted time

Would I be better placed to reclaim what was mine?

If I had seen what was to happen down the line

Would I run for cover and pray that I’d be fine?

This is not what I want

This is not what I want

Set the past on fire

Dance between the flames

What burns within the pyre

Can never be regained

Set the past on fire

Dance between the flames

What burns within the pyre

Can never be regained

Set the past on fire

Dance between the flames

What burns within the pyre

Can never be regained
