Travelling Without Moving Lyrics

Get down, right on
Get down

I know all we're doing is traveling without moving hey hey
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
Can't stop, no
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving hey hey
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving

Speed freak
Faster than a speedin' bullet,
Slow down, if I don't
If I don't I might just lose it
Looked up
You've got me honey
Locked up under heavy brakin' yeah yeah
You know I've got to hang on
Drive too fast I might be last oh yeah

I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
Oh yeah
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
Whoa yeah
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
Oh yeah
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
Whoa yeah

I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
Oh yeah
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving
I know all we're doing is traveling without moving

Travelling Without Moving

Written by lead singer Jay Kay, this song starts with him accelerating up until fifth gear in a 1994 Lamborghini Diablo SE30.

Jay Kay was branded a hypocrite by some critics for using the Ferrari-inspired logo that adorned the Travelling Without Moving album cover (with the group's Buffalo Man mascot standing in for the familiar black horse), undermining the environmentally conscious Emergency on Planet Earth album.

But the frontman is unapologetic about his addiction to sports cars. "People say, 'Jay you've got fourteen cars, how unenviromentally friendly.' But you can't drive them all at once. Even if I'm driving one, there's thirteen that somebody else can't because they're mine," he reasoned in a 2001 Esquire interview. At the time, his collection included numerous Ferraris, an Aston Martin DB5, two Mercedes 4×4s, a 1960s Mercedes convertible and an Audi RS4.

If your spell-checker flagged the song and album title, you're probably American; most English-speaking countries spell "Traveling" with two Ls ("Travelling").

King For A Day Lyrics

There's no way
I'm coming back to you
I've just got to say
That everything we did is through
You tried to undermine
The better ranges of my nature
But soon you're going to find
You should have started talking straighter
Now don't you worry
I won't put you down
I'm in no hurry, baby
To see you go to ground
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only King For A Day
I guess you're happy that way

Well there's no hope
For peace and reconciliation
You're quick to play your hand
But what you haven't learnt is patience
So look before you leap
To tell the world your colored story
It's clear your talk is cheap
You'd do anything to get your glory
So spread your wings and fly
There is no doubt
You're so sorry inside you've got something to shout about
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way

And there's no love
Ever to be lost between us
I guess this is because
The damage that you've done is so grievous
So I hang my head
To dwell on what might have been
But what you left instead
Is pieces of a broken dream

Now don't you worry
I won't put you down
I'm in no hurry
To see you go to ground
Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way

So spread your wings and fly
There is no doubt
You're so sorry inside you've
Got something to shout about

Because it's true what they say
You know it's true what they say
You're only king for a day
I guess you're happy that way

Don't you see that you're only king for a day
You must believe that

Too Young to Die Lyrics

Everybody
Don't want no war,
'Cause we're Too Young to Die,
So many people,
All around the world,
Seen their brothers fry.
What's the motive?
In your madness.
You've made my people cry.
So politicians this time
Keep your distance.
'Cause we're too young to die.
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,

What's the answer?
To our problems.
I think we've gone too high,
Little children,
Never said a word now,
But still they have to die.
It won't be long.
Dancing like we do now,
To put this sad world right.
So don't you worry,
Suffer no more,
'Cause we're too young to die.
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,

All gone when they drop the bomb.
Can the politicians reassure?
'Cause here I am presuming that
Nobody wants a war
There's so many people praying
Just to find out if they're staying.
But lately stately governments
And disillusioned leaders,
So full of empty promises
But rarely do they feed us.
Put our backs against the wall,
Or don't we count at all?

Can you decide,
Are you mesmerized.
Do you know which side you're standing?
'Cause when it falls gonna take us all.
Gotta know what we're demanding,
I never lie,
Can't your hear the cry,
Coming from on high,
We're too young to die.

Too Young to Die Song Chart

Written by Jamiroquai frontman Jay Kay and keyboardist Toby Smith, this anti-war song received little daytime airplay upon its debut but somehow managed to land at #15 on the UK charts. It eventually peaked at #10.

Jay Kay places the success of this song squarely on the shoulders of the listening public, not the record label (Sony) or the media. He told The Melody Maker: "The point is that Jamiroquai isn't a record company product. It's people power that has put 'Too Young To Die' in the Top 20. That's why I'm not bothered about the media attention we're getting now. I know we can live up to it. If we couldn't, I'd be sh----ing my pants."

Fitting in with the environmentally conscious Emergency on Planet Earth album, this song transcends its anti-war message and encourages compassion for the earth and all its beings. Jay Kay explained to The Melody Maker:

"'Too Young To Die' is an anti-war song, yeah, but it's not just about people. It's about all forms of life - the animals, the trees, the planet itself. They're all too young to die. But that's exactly what's gonna happen if we don't start treating the world properly. You'd better believe it, man."

The original version of this song clocks in at 10:18 but was cut down to 3:22 for the single and 6:05 for the album, though the original vinyl version contains the full track.
