Lyrics
Taken by surprise by the size of my brain
Knowing all the time all the lies all the games
Thinking up a storm when it storms it's going to rain
Taking what's mine all the time, all the time
Take some for yourself
It's all good for something
And when there's no more to give
The window will shine in the light
On what's left for me
Knowin' your mind, knowin' your mind
That you've got to remember
You've got to remember, your name
Knowin' your mind, knowin' your mind
That you've got to remember
That you've got to remember, your name
Staggering around, can't find a place to sit down
Nothing suits my ass
Toast to some champagne of pain
I know you can bring us all a bottle
Remember the time when time was a friend
And you could make him lend you a hand
Now there's a place where taking takes place
And time just gets in your way
Take some for yourself
It's all good for something
And when there's no more to give
The window will shine in the light
On what's left for me
Knowin' your mind, knowin' your mind
That you've got to remember
That you've got to remember, your name
Knowin' your mind, knowin' your mind
That you've got to remember
You've got to remember, your name
Knowin' your mind, knowin' your mind
That you've got to remember
You've got to remember, your name
Knowin' your mind, knowin' your mind
That you've got to remember
You've got to remember, your name
Yeah, take some for yourself
It's all good for something
And when there's no more to give
The window will shine in the light
Take some for yourself
It's all good for something
And when there's no more to give
The window will shine in the light
On what's left for me
What's left for me

This is the definition of a MODERN dance song. And yes, i write this comment in 2024

[@Hshdkdodbdkeskodsodixbxbxjxkxj]

Amen to that 🫶😮‍💨

[@toneb64]

I saw Leftfield do the 25th anniversary of Leftism , Afro-Left was truly brilliant live !

[@theoriginaltoadnz]

This song featured Neil Cole (as Djum Djum) on vocals, and it was rumoured that the lyrics were in an unspecified African language; it was later revealed that they were simply gibberish, or "Djum Djum talk" - from Wikipedia.

[@matthawkes1399]

I understand it though

[@pedrojosegutierrezvelez5137]

[@victoriabaillie9586]

Unfortunately not. This is one of those sounds we'll never get to hear again.

[@ronaldkable]

One of my favourite dance tracks. The video is a work of art

[@WristCutGauze]

I just discovered this song 3 months ago and i listen to it at least 20 times in everyday since then. I kid you not.

[@justinafrika7860]

I played this and several Leftfield tunes in clubs at the southernmost coast of Africa at the turn of the century, they got loads of love. Still great for house parties with informed music lovers.

[@TerminusEst1982]

Informed. Stfu mate. Just let it be. You are still uninformed by other standards. Ooh I played this in Africa. Suck another one.

[@cahillgreg]

One of the greatest Clubb hits from the 90's ... & it's still working great! No Remix needed ;)

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

The original B-Side remix is awesome

[@pererik6731]

We had to nag the DJ at a club to play this back in 1999. He didn't think people would like it, boy was he wrong. That floor filled up so fast I'm sure there were at least 250 people in a tight club all tripping balls and the whole club was shaking. Even outside you could feel that something special was going on here

Desde 2007 me gusto este tema lo escuché en cassette, le llamaban changa africana e Caracas ahorita 2024 suena y se relacionan con otras mezclas y el afro dance.

[@5ynthesizerpatel]

I took this album on a dive trip to Egypt in about 98 - the Egyptian guys working on the boat went absolutely nuts for this track - always asking to borrow my MiniDisc player and played this on continuous loop. I'd assumed that they could understand what the guy was saying or something .... derp!

[@LeoEnriqueVargasOrozco]

This song is brutal

[@MaestroDraven]

@nefertifer It's not a language. It's actually a common thing in this particular African dialect to simply speak gibberish. Leftfield and the vocalist on this song have both admitted to this in interviews.

[@mathewness7649]

MaestroDraven Arite mate how u doing,Kain it’s been 7 years since you made this comment but I’m willing to offer you a tenner + half bottle. In exchange for u sending me a word document of the lyrics of the gibberish. Me and you could learn it together? And make it the best party trick ever (that would impress everyone) anyway get in touch and I’ll send u my deets. I’m being serious name ur price
