Lyrics Mr Tembo - Damon Albarn

Injili, Injiili, can I sing to you
′Bout Mr. Temboa and what he's got to do
But first I′m going back to the could weal floud
To find the mission and help him with his luck

Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It's where he is now but it wasn't what he planned

Injili, Injiili, we will sing with you
Just like the T.V, in Mr. Tembo′s room
Off the emphatic night he checked in on his own
At Mkombozi Inn and made it his home

Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It′s where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
It′s where he is now but it wasn't what he planned

Injili, Injili, we all sing to you
′Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's going through
Gets up early while you are still in bed
Mr. Tembo great blanket by his head

Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It′s where he is now but it wasn't what he planned
It's where he is now but it wasn′t what he planned

Hey, 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, haybells
Telegraph wires, pylon power
Farmhouse over chimneys still used
Stone, satellites, football, pictures, favorite flags, and lots of dogs
Neon cross on top of a block of slates on a church, not as usual

Mr. Tembo is on his way up the hill
With only this song to tell you how he feels
But to get there he will need a helping hand
It's where he is now but it wasn′t what he planned
It's where he is now but it wasn′t what he planned
