Believe it or not, some people (such as myself) have been following Roots Manuva for 10+ years now, and have never seen Skins. I'm happy for anything that gives him exposure though.

Just makes you think deeply about things currently in this world. Skins portrayed 'stolen youth' and it was amazing

"You think you know death, but you don't, not until you seen it, really seen it, and it gets under your skin and lives inside ya... you also think you know life... stand on the edge of things and watching go by but you're not living it, no really... just a tourist, a ghost... and then you see it, really see it, and gets under your skin and lives inside ya, and there's no escape, it's nothing to be done and you know what?... it's good, it's a good thing... and that's all I've to say about it."

[Verse 1: Roots Manuva] Judge 'em on the come up It's bound to be your bad luck Instantly running ways to survive You judge a man by the risk he takes To change his faith and place himself Up in the dreamscape, free from the trappings The flesh will trap him, the flesh will tap him And these lights look bright in the city And one day this might be his city He got more dreams than Luther King But pipes of peace might do for him But some get peace by keeping a piece in easy reach and being quick to squeeze [Hook: Roots Manuva] The road takes a hold on you Becomes the whole of you You're looking at the stolen youth The eggs, the clucker and the golden goose The road takes a hold on you Becomes the whole of you You're looking at the stolen youth The eggs, the clucker and the golden goose. [Verse 2: Roots Manuva] Honour among thieves is the talk of a fool The only protection is the talk of your tool Decent people just stand by watching Pure disbelief and, happy it's not him How long does the madness last? How long is a piece of string? You're better off being mad as a rasc' An' then you won't have to face a thing Run and hide, a french kiss to chaos Standing firm and waiting for the pay-off These are those types of days, where it ain't no use in being afraid The game played here's got the strangest rules The game played here has got no rules The pain is life, the pain is death It's plain as life, and plain as breath [Hook: Roots Manuva] The road takes a hold on you Becomes the whole of you You're looking at the stolen youth The egg, the clucker and the golden goose The road takes a hold on you Becomes the whole of you You're looking at the stolen youth The egg, the clucker and the golden goose
