About Amazon
Background Information "I was thinking about [the way sexuality is expressed in London], and I felt like, you know, it was just so in your face all the time, and being a woman, you really have to use it and put it in people's faces to get ahead. And I wondered what that was doing to - like, in Sri Lanka, sexuality is a whole other ballgame, you know what I mean? And it's so naive and it's so basic, and people have no outlet for meeting people and young people don't have anywhere to hang and stuff .
Amazon Lyrics
[00:00.34] I was missin' in action on the side of a carton
[00:05.20] I was taken in a Datsun from a street in Acton
[00:10.32] I was missin' in action on the side of a carton
[00:15.45] I was taken in a Datsun from a street in Acton
[00:30.86] I was sippin' on a Rubicon, thinkin' 'bout where I come
[00:34.00] It's all this for revolution
[00:36.21] Cuttin' up the coupon, savin' for a telephone
[00:38.81] Can I call home? Please, can I go home?
[00:41.18] I was sippin' on a Rubicon, thinkin' 'bout where I come
[00:44.26] It's all this for revolution
[00:46.37] Cuttin' up the coupon, savin' for a telephone
[00:49.34] Can I call home? Please, can I go home?
[00:51.56] Painted nails, sunsets on horizons
[00:54.32] Palm trees, silhouette smells amazing
[00:56.70] Blindfolds under home-made lanterns
[00:59.28] Somewhere in the Amazon, they're holding me ransom
[01:01.67] Painted nails, sunsets on horizons
[01:04.55] Palm trees, silhouette smells amazing
[01:06.87] Blindfolds under home-made lanterns
[01:09.38] Somewhere in the Amazon, they're holding me ransom
[01:12.01] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[01:16.97] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[01:22.38] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[01:27.23] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[01:42.59] Smokin' on a Benson, tryin' to get me undone
[01:45.49] Let me go, I don't want your attention
[01:47.76] Under submission, out of frustration
[01:50.83] I'll do it, I'll scream for the nation
[01:52.72] Smokin' on a Benson, tryin' to get me undone
[01:55.70] Let me go, I don't want your attention
[01:57.99] Under submission, out of frustration
[02:00.97] I'll do it, I'll scream for the nation
[02:02.95] Painted nails, sunsets on horizons
[02:05.86] Palm trees, silhouette smells amazing
[02:08.13] Blindfolds under home-made lanterns
[02:10.80] Somewhere in the Amazon, they're holding me ransom
[02:13.30] Painted nails, sunsets on horizons
[02:15.86] Palm trees, silhouette smells amazing
[02:18.39] Blindfolds under home-made lanterns
[02:20.90] Somewhere in the Amazon, they're holding me ransom
[02:23.35] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[02:29.54] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[02:34.76] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[02:40.02] Hello, this is M.I.A., could you please come get me?
[02:54.30] Minutes turned to hours and became our dates
[02:56.35] When we shared raindrops that turned into lakes
[02:59.16] Bodies started merging and the lines got gray
[03:01.42] Now, I'm looking at him, thinking maybe he's okay
[03:04.23] Minutes turned to hours and became our dates
[03:06.48] When we shared raindrops that turned into lakes
[03:09.28] Bodies started merging and the lines got gray
[03:11.56] Now, I'm looking at him, thinking maybe he's okay
[03:14.52] Hello, this is M.I.A., it's okay, you forgot me
