Mr Tembo Lyrics - Everyday Robots - Damon Albarn

Injili, Injili 

Can I sing with you 

'Bout Mr. Tembo and what he's got to do 

But first I'm going back 

To the ? 

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, Injili 

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 will sing to you 

'Bout Mr. Tembo 

And what he's going through 

Gets up early 

While you are still in bed 

Mr. Tembo, green 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
