Mr. Tembo – Damon Albarn – letras

Injili, InjiliCan I sing with you’Bout Mr. Tembo and what he’s got to doBut first I’m going backTo the [?]To find the missionAnd help him with his luck[Chorus:]Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hillWith only this song to tell you how he feelsBut to get there he will need a helping handIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedInjili, InjiliWe will sing with youJust like the T. VIn Mr. Tembo’s roomOff the emphatic nightHe checked in on his ownAt Mkombozi Inn andMade it his home[Chorus]Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hillWith only this song to tell you how he feelsBut to get there he will need a helping handIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedInjili, InjiliWe will sing to you’Bout Mr. TemboAnd what he’s going throughGets up earlyWhile you are still in bedMr. Tembo, green blanket by his head[Chorus]Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hillWith only this song to tell you how he feelsBut to get there he will need a helping handIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedHey, you keep those lions off the front of the boat!Good god, man! Have you some cotton in your ears?I’m trying to run this expedition in a decent manner!The 264 is gulf, bungalow, styles, canals, cows, haybellsTelegraph wires, pylon powerFarmhouse over chimneys still usedStone, satellites, football, picturesfavorite flags, and lots of dogsNeon cross on top of a block of slates on a churchnot as usual[Chorus]Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hillWith only this song to tell you how he feelsBut to get there he will need a helping handIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he plannedIt’s where he is now but it wasn’t what he planned
