The Arbiter:
Each game of chess
Means there’s one less
Variation left to be played.
Each day got through
Means one or two
Less mistakes remain to be made.
Soloists 1 & 2:
Not much is known
Of early days of chess
Beyond a fairly vague report–
Soloist 3:
That fifteen hundred years ago
Two princes fought,
Tough brothers,
For a Hindu throne.
Soloist 4:
The mother cried,
For no one really likes
Their offspring fighting
To the death.
She begged to stop
The slaughter
With her every breath.
Soloist 5:
But sure enough
One brother died.
Soloists 4 & 6:
Sad beyond belief,
She told her winning son,
Soloist 6:
“You have caused such grief
I can’t forgive
This evil thing you’ve done.”
Soloist 3 & 7:
He tried to explain
How things had really been.
Soloist 7:
But he tried in vain,
No words of his
Could mollify the queen.
Soloist 8:
And so he asked
The wisest men he knew
The way to lessen her distress.
The Arbiter:
They told him he’d be
Pretty certain to impress
By using model soldiers
On a checkered board
To show it was his brother’s fault–
All:
They thus invented chess
Male Soloists:
Chess displayed no inertia,
Soon spread to Persia,
Then west.
Female Soloists:
Next the Arabs refined it,
Thus redesigned, it
Progressed.
Soloist 9:
Still further yet,
And when Constantinople
Fell in 1453,
One would have noticed
Every other refugee
Included in his bags a set.
Soloist 10:
Once in the hands,
And in the minds
Of leading figures
Of the Renaissance–
Soloist 2:
The spirit and the speed
Of chess made swift advance
Through all of Europe’s vital lands.
Female Soloists: Male Soloists:
Where we must record Each game of chess,
The game was further changed– Means there’s one less
Right across the board Variation left to be played.
The western touch
Upon the pieces ranged.
Soloists:
King, and queen, and rook,
And bishop, knight, and pawn
All took on the look
We know today–
The modern game was born.
The Arbiter:
And in the end,
We see a game
That started by mistake
In Hindustan–
And boosted in the main
By what is now Iran–
Become the simplest,
And most complicated
Pleasure yet devised
For just the kind of mind
Who would appriciate this
Well-researched, and fascinating
Yarn.
[Spoken]
The World Chess Federation, of which I have the honor
Of being president, announces that the next world championship
Will take place here in Merano, Italy.
The current world champion Frederick Trumper of the United
States of America will defend his title again Anatoly Sergievsky
Of the Soviet Union.
The first player to achieve six victories will be declared
Champion. The first game will begin on March 27, 1979.
Welcome, world, to Merano!

David Brent – Slough lyrics
More convenient that a Tesco express
Close to Windsor but the properties less
Keeps the businesses of Britain great
It’s got Europe’s biggest trading estate
It doesn’t matter where you’re from
You wanna work? Then come along
The station’s just got a new floor
And the motorway runs by your door
And you know just where you’re heading
It’s equidistance ‘tween London and Reading
Oh Slough
My kind of town
I don’t know how, anyone could put you down
To the West you got Taplow and Bray
You got Hillingdon the other way
It’s a brilliant place to live and work
It was in Bucks now officially it’s Berks
Don’t listen to what the critics say
Like it’s soulless, and boring and grey
See for yourself, what you waiting for?
We’re on the Bath road, that’s the A4
And you know just where you’ll be heading
It’s equidistance ‘tween London and Reading
Oh Slough
My kind of town
I don’t know how, anyone could put you down
Oh Slough
My kind of town
I don’t know how, anyone could put you down
Slough [x4]
[Chorus: Nines]
How can I give this all up
This is all I wanted to be
This music money isn’t enough
I just can’t get caught with these keys
With these keys
I just can’t get caught with these keys
With these keys, with these keys
[Verse 1: Nines]
Ask my nigga Nunu how we went through all them rubber bands
Remember when I kop the Ice hublot with the rubber band
Made 30K this week I’m nothing like them other man
I’m on a different level now but I don’t think they understand
Last year I would have stressed my pockets if I copped a Range
Funny how in a couple months, how luck could change
Old niggas on the track, bragging ’bout watch and chain
Next album I’ll probably rap about yachts and planes
Pull up on the block, all them yungens circle ’round the Porsche
Came a long way from the Gilera with the loud exhaust
Shit was slow, mandem was moving like some scavengers
Never going broke again I’m cool with all the traffickers
Jazzy said chill and let them young bucks spray them tools
Think they hating now, watch when I upgrade my jewels
My lil’ niggas know a nigga spend a monkey on some shoes
Trappin’ from a distance can’t see them junkies from these views
Grew up ’round some of the best niggas to do it
Now we fucking with them Albo’s they like the Mexicans of Europe
They don’t play me on the radio but I don’t give a fuck
I’ve buried P, went broke, then I had to dig it out
[Chorus: Nines]
How can I give this all up
This is all I wanted to be
This music money isn’t enough
I just can’t get caught with these keys
With these keys
I just can’t get caught with these keys
With these keys, with these keys
[Verse 2: Berner]
Empty boxes got me nauseous
Six burner phones in my faucet
We buy phones and we wash ’em
Digging holes to find a million dollars [?], ain’t sweet
I’ve been broke, same clothes for a week
Fresh off the plane I see badges fuck the D.E.A
This piece costs a couple more G’s, when it leave the States
Started from the bottom, with a key of yay
I’m ridin’ round dirty in this Honda, I don’t need the Wraith
They grabbed Stack, we just laughed when he beat the case
Cookies with the cheese, [?] bring me strains
Bring the jack back, I’m smoking for the JA
Black hoodie with the AK
Dirty money bring the devil out, bag the lemonade
Put my gloves on, then we send ’em out
80 for a 20 pack, yeah I’m talking locally
Here in the city, I’m still getting [?]
The rest of them getting 2, they can’t even sell ’em though
I could never sell ’em low, I’d rather be selling blow
Talking on the telephone, now he’s never coming home
The dope gang dirty yeah, they don’t love you until you’re gone
[Chorus: Nines]
How can I give this all up
This is all I wanted to be
This music money isn’t enough
I just can’t get caught with these keys
With these keys
I just can’t get caught with these keys
With these keys, with these keys

L2B – The Journey lyrics
[Hook]
The world keeps turning, I’m just holding on,
Hold on..
This life’s a journey that keeps going on,
Hold on..
[Verse 1]
I got a lyrical addiction, I’m a punchline fiend,
Even in my dreams, I come up with rhyme schemes,
I try to be calm, but my mind is like a mob scene
Full of obscene gestures and loud screams in dark streets
From wild teens whose moms can;t stop them
From robbing people just because they want nice things,
They’d sacrifice a life to live like kings, but
That’s not the song that I sing,
Sometimes I just need to switch to a positive mind frame
And change the way I think.
See I’m excited for what life brings,
I’m trying to travel the world and go sight-seeing
And see what it’s like to be in different cultures and ways of life,
Traveling in first class flights, that sounds nice.
Walking through foreign lands, Europe and Japan,
Got as much Seoul as South Korea,
Looking down from the Namsan Tower,
I love where I’m from, but I got bigger plans,
I’m trying to spin a globe and just go wherever my finger lands.
[Hook]
The world keeps turning, I’m just holding on,
Hold on..
This life’s a journey that keeps going on,
Hold on..
[Verse 2]
I got so many dope verses, think I need an intervention,
Not to mention, never cared for being center of attention,
But I’ll deliver a hundred and ten percent, even when
It’s a challenge and the pressure is high, like hypertension.
Caught up living above the influence of reality,
Love, hugs, peace, drugs, and LSD,
Bright colors being smudged without paint brushes,
Just me under a spell while I’m staring at trees,
See life is one giant canvas to me,
Hand me a can of paint and watch me transform a
Blank space landscape in to something out of fantasy,
Something you’re seeing with your eyes, but still can’t believe.
I’m in the Amazon rain forest, laying underneath the canopy,
Staring up at the sky, wondering why can’t life always be this simple,
Thinking back to everything that I’ve been through,
But with endless possibilities, I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do.
[Hook]
The world keeps turning, I’m just holding on,
Hold on..
This life’s a journey that keeps going on,
Hold on..
[Bridge]
Life is just a journey,
Life is just a journey, so stay..
Life is just a journey,
Life is just a journey, so stay..
Life is just a journey, so stay..
Life is just a journey, so stay strong..
Life is just a journey, so stay..
Life is just a journey, so stay strong..
[Hook]
The world keeps turning, I’m just holding on,
Hold on..
This life’s a journey that keeps going on,
Hold on..

Money and coke up in my nose
Percs in my system, I’m never slow
Golden [?] running round the floor

She called me up and called me on the phone
She fucked me over once, someone that I know
I be getting dough
Soldiers from white snow
Moola in my rover
With Adamn killing my soul
Fuck with Lean I break your bones
Fuck with Lean I break your bones
Moola in my rover

Kano – Dun Know The Myspace Lyrics
It’s K-A, check, check, check it out
[Verse 1]
Listen, yeah, yeah, you dun know the Myspace
I’m a vet MC niggas can’t violate
I’m two albums deep already
And how ever many singles under my name
Yeah, yeah, you dun know the my K
Fire for no reason, I’m nice
Can’t stop me like a Hummer in drive
Gone like I’m roadrunner in spikes
Yeah, yeah put me in the right lane
I’ll still breeze on a beat with a bang
I might perform my beats with a band
There ain’t no MC deeper than man
Hot like the bottom of the pan
And I’m still totalling on like twang
[Hook]
Man, look at my Myspace, my fanbase is swollen like clams
With old school fans and new school fans
I got UK fans and Europe fans
I got older fans and younger fans
And you dun know I’m repping for my Myspace fam
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah you dun know the vibe ain’t right in a rave on stage if I ain’t
On it with DJ Medonit, excitement levels we go beyond it
Enrol my shows like college, I show you how to do this son
Come like dumb, leave like a boffin
Cause I’m a teacher like KRS-One, one
Haha, I’m just having fun
Know why? Cause I’m MC number 1
Mc number 1
Yeah I know I didn’t finish that verse but I don’t give a shit
I wrote that shit whilst Mikey was beefing on the phone with his chick
HAHA! It’s K-A, It’s K-A

Skull And Bones – Zero Point Energy lyrics
[Verse]
There is a kind of energy called zero point
Max Planck in Germany conceived it in nineteen eleven
By Quantum Mechanics it was foreseen and validated
It holds the key of antigravity and limitless energy
[Bridge]
The Military Industrial Complex would do anything to conceal it
Assassination, wars, depose governments to hide it from you
[Chorus]
No more fossil fuels to polute our world with Zero Point Energy
Atomic Power will be a thing from the past with Zero Point Energy
We would fly trough the skies powered by Zero Point Energy
A new age ahead exploring the space with Zero Point Energy
[Solo]
[Chorus]
No more fossil fuels to polute our world with Zero Point Energy
Atomic Power will be a thing from the past with Zero Point Energy
We would fly trough the skies powered by Zero Point Energy
A new age ahead exploring the space with Zero Point Energy
[Verse]
In Second World War germans developed some prototypes
Its plans were spread across Europe as spoils of War
Wikileaks Podesta’s e-mails shows that the US Gov. Knows
Stop being selfish and greedy , humankind need to be free
[Bridge]
The Military Industrial Complex would do anything to conceal it
Assassination, wars, depose governments to hide it from you
[Chorus]
No more fossil fuels to polute our world with Zero Point Energy
Atomic Power will be a thing from the past with Zero Point Energy
We would fly trough the skies powered by Zero Point Energy
A new age ahead exploring the space with Zero Point Energy
I saw an orange robe burning
I saw a youth on fire
I saw metal machines that were turning on
A generation that hadn’t yet tired
I heard of two generations that were
Being murdered
In a Europe that was shrouded in black
I witnessed the birth pains of new nations
When the chosen people finally went back
North Winds Blowing
I wish they’d blow you all away
North Winds Blowing
I wish they’d blow you all away
I saw a freedom in the shape of disease
And mainly men had to quench their desire
And while a few could do just as they please
I saw kid’s whose bellies were all on fire
And then all is dead and war is over
When hollow victory has been won
Who will join in the celebration of
An evil that can’t be undone
North Winds Blowing
I wish they’d blow you all away
North Winds Blowing
I wish they’d blow you all away
I use to dream about destruction
Now that I feel it getting near
I spend my time watching the ocean
And waves are all I want to hear
I wish I was a believer
I’d spend less time maybe
In being sad
So many laws against disbelieving
I don’t know who’s good or who’s bad
North Winds Blowing
Blow all away
Blow away
