- Destiny
I lie awake
I’ve gone to ground
I’m watching porn
In my hotel dressing gown
Now I dream of you
But I still believe
There’s only enough for one in this
Lonely hotel suite
- Distractions
Fancy a big house
Some kids and a horse
I can not quite, but nearly
Guarantee, a divorce
I think that I love you
I think that I do
So go on mister, make Miss me Mrs you.
- Do You beleive in what you see
Wait in line

Tickin clocks
Everyone stop
Cause everyone's sayin different things to me (different things to me)
Everyone saying different things to me different things to me
(bridge)
- do you believe what you see
Till your time
Tickin clocks
Everyone stop
Cause everyone's sayin different things to me (different things to me)
Everyone saying different things to me different things to me
(bridge)
Do you believe in what you see?
- Dreaming
've sworn, my love
I've been reborn, my love
Don't be forlorn, my love
I've torn my heart
Do not mourn my depart
I've been reborn, my love
- Dtp. Futures
Made a note of it
Did you write it on your hand
Put a name on it
To help you understand
Well do you see
The futures holidays are for me
Just let me know
- Dtp. Somersault
You're the prince to my ballerina
You feed other people's parking meters
You encourage the eating of ice cream
You would somersault in sand with me
You talk to loners, you ask how's your week
You give love to all and give love to me
You're obsessed with hiding the sticks and stones
- Home
Lost in cheap delirium
Searching the neon lights
I move carefully
Sink in the city aquarium
Sing in the key of night
As they're watching me
Take me somewhere we can be alone
- I Have Seen
Old man there people stare
Thinking back to God knows where
Always back to where he's been
I have seen I have seen
Time goes so slow
Days come and go
But I know, yes I know
- If I Can't Have You
Have you ever wondered
If it smarts when you've hurt and ignored
Oh, the sort that goes away
Even though I waited for you
Oh, how I adore you
You never saw my face
I traced your path each day
- In the waiting line
Wait in line
'Till your time
Ticking clock
Everyone stop
Everyone's saying different things to me
Different things to me
Everyone's saying different things to me
- Mr. McGee
I let my head touch my hands and it's right on me yeah
I touched the night now it's gone, felt it right on me yeah
I'm running hard and the dust, now it's right on me yeah
I'm writing blind and these words they're all over me yeah
Oh Oh Oh Oh lost them in the forest
Oh Oh Oh Oh dawn is almost on us
- Passing By
I don't think you love me
Confusion settling in
I don't think I'll be staying
Around here, anymore
There's no question that I love you
But I'm living in my own time
And here I am debating
- Pop Art Blue
Yeah we are running and how we are running
Across the hills in the pop art blue
Buzzards fly above the car
Circling us as if they knew
If i falter, If i falter
Darling will you reel me in?
If I lose it, If I lose it
Will you remind where we've been?
- Speed Dial No. 2
I don't need you anymore
I'm okay and I am sure
I don't need you anymore
Yeah I'm ok, I'm reassured
And I don't need you not today
I promise I'll call I promise I'll say
I don't need you not to stay
- Spinning
Was it loneliness that brought you here
Broken and weak
Was it tiredness that made you sleep
Have you lost your will to speak
Was the earth spinning round
Were you falling through the ground
As the world came tumbling down
You prayed to God what have we done
- Swing
Thought you'd be forever the same
When did you become so easy to change
Can't elect who I want
No, that's not true
I do know
Just can't figure out how to pin him down
There will be no unguarded kisses
- The Pageant of the Bizarre
It's never gonna be
Normal, you and me
What you're signing on for
Is a storm at sea
So if you think you're tough
Give me all your love
And I'll give you every little piece of me
- The Space Between
Now that you're older
Taking the time to look
Back over your shoulder
On the days confusion took
Now that you're wiser
Surely you've learned to read it
You should know
- This Fine Social Scene
Blossom lipped ladies and men with a gleam in their eyes
Fat happy babies sit on their born thin mother's thighs
Picture a vow
Picture well
I couldn't see the cracks in this fine social scene
I couldn't find the fault with this whole pantomime
- This World
Электронный дуэт Zero 7 - это два закадычных друга Генри Биннс (Henry Binns) и Сэм Хардакер (Sam Hardaker), многолетние напарники, композиторы, продюсеры и авторы многочисленных ремиксов. Осваивая неограниченные просторы эмбиент-техно, Zero 7 буквально с первых шагов попали в обойму фаворитов как у меломанов, так и у критиков. Последние, не мудрствуя лукаво, после выхода первого же диска окрестили Zero 7 английскими Air. Как выяснилось позднее - несколько преждевременно.
Генри Биннс и Сэм Хардакер дружили с детства, живя по соседству в одном из районов северного Лондона. Оба понимали, что их жизнь будет связана с музыкой, которая интересовала их в самых диаметральных своих проявлениях - равно привлекательными казались соул и классика, джаз и хип-хоп. Среди альбомов, которые кардинально повлияли на их представление о музыке, они называют несколько неожиданные записи: Сэм - «Planet Rock» Африка Бамбаатаа (Afrika Bambaataa), а Генри - «The Hissing Of Summer Lawns» Джони Митчелл (Joni Mitchell).
Первой по-настоящему увлекательной работой оказался ремикс на трек «Climbing up the Walls», представленный на классическом альбоме Radiohead 1997 года «OK Computer». Обработать эту песню музыкантам предложил Найджел Годрич (Nigel Godrich), товарищ по колледжу, работавший с Radiohead на правах продюсера. Хардакер и Биннс выложились по полной программе. И не зря - их работа привлекла внимание известного ди-джея и влиятельнго антрепренера Гилля Петерсона ( Gilles Peterson). Для начала он запустил в эфир BBC Radio 1 ремикс на «Climbing up the Walls», потом предложил музыкантам еще один трек на обработку. Это была композиция «Love Theme From Spartacus» соул-певицы и композитора Терри Калье (Terry Callier). И еще одна удача на их ремиксерском поприще.
С тех пор Гилль Петерсон не отказывал начинающим композиторам и продюсерам в своей поддержке. Так, в 2000 году именно с его подачи двое друзей - уже как Zero 7 - издали дебютный ЕР, «оригинально» названный «ЕР1». Первый тираж насчитывал всего тысячу копий, но разлетелись они моментально. Вернувшись к родному ремиксерскому ремеслу, Генри Биннс и Сэм Хардакер не отказались от мысли творить самостоятельно. И в том же году подготовили второй «ЕР2», который разошелся уже гораздо более приличным тиражом. В перерыве между релизами Генри Биннс успел дебютировать как продюсер, поработав над саундом альбома Mel B «Hot», а Сэм Хардакер занялся ремиксами на треки из альбома Radiohead «Karma Police, Pt. 2».
- throw it all away
Try talking to you
While you do, while you do
I swap places with you
Just to see things through
Just sing me the tune
And you'll see
I'll keep it here for you
I'll wait for your cue
- Today
Sirens sounding out, are we going to war
A film of yesterday on a broken down door
Send me something real to ignore or explore
And I'll show you all the things that I saw
Today
The words don't mean enough for us to say
For us to say
- Warm Sound
Faith sealer
I don't feel you
Don't hear you speak
Maybe
Someone else will
Help you to see
