A host of special guests on duo's comeback can't hide an identity crisis
It’s hard to think of a band that has more epitomised the power of a collective voice than Massive Attack . Born out of The Wild Bunch, the Bristol soundsystem behind the rap-reggae fusion that infamously became known throughout the world as trip-hop, Massive’s finest moments deployed collaborations with the precision of a smart bomb. Whether it was Shara Nelson’s spectacular turn on...

Massive Attack - Heligoland Lyrics
Massive Attack - Flat Of The Blade Lyrics
I'm not good in a crowd,
I got skills I can't speak of
Things I've seen will chase me
Massive Attack - Saturday Come Slow Lyrics
Lost in the magic
From the last time
This town turning
My rose to desire
Massive Attack - Rush Minute Lyrics
I wanna be clean but I gotta get high
ââ¬Â¨It's good to be here so hard to come byââ¬Â¨
You bring pain cause you got gameââ¬Â¨
And needles and pins a man can't take
Massive Attack - Pray For Rain Lyrics
In deepest hollows of our minds
A system failure left behind
And their necks crane
As they turn to pray for rain
Massive Attack - Atlas Air Lyrics
yes shall we take a spin again in business
this time is fixed lets sweeten our facilities
it took all the man in me to be the dog you wanted me to be
shall we take a spin again no witnesses
Massive Attack - Paradise Circus Lyrics
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
We can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
Oh well, the devil makes us sin
But we like it when we're spinning in his grip
Massive Attack - Girl I Love You Lyrics
Girl I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever
I say I love you but your loving has gone forever
Gonna miss you but my love has gone forever
Massive Attack - Babel Lyrics
Say it was your babel
Say it was my babel
It was my babel
Tell all people
Massive Attack - Splitting The Atom Lyrics
The bed it was warm
Nettles and ferns
The evening it chokes
The candle it burns
Massive Attack - Psyche Lyrics
I'm looking for you in the woods tonight
I'm looking, looking for you with my flashlight
I'm searching from in the high or down the ocean
And I pace myself in reason
