(NANCE:)
Oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah (x4)
Slave to the music
I'm a slave to the music
(STAY-C:)
Take your time, find a way to do
Control the line, let the record get into your mind
And let it start to renovate
Do it good do it now and don't you wait
I'm an addict, I don't give none
Yes I'm hooked up the music on the run
If you wanna be high take it score
And give me more
(NANCE:)
Slave to the music (oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah)
(Oh nay na na na nay na) I'm a slave to the music (na na nay-ah)
(Oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah) (x2)

I'm a party freak and I really mean a freak
Every day of the week
I can't live my life without jammin'
That is why my life is so slammin'
I take you up to a place where you never been
Far away from home and then back again
Get ready for this and get dressed
'Cause when you miss the boat you're gonna be stressed
Yeah, 3, 2, 1
Countdown and the party has begun
Let's do it right now let's go for it
'Cause I feel for you when I show for it
S-T-A-Y and C
If you wanna have fun you better call me
Get down get down to the sound
I'm in town
(NANCE:)
Slave to the music (oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah)
(Oh nay na na na nay na) I'm a slave to the music (na na nay-ah)
(Oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah) (x6)
(STAY-C:)
Hmmm, you better believe what I told ya
'Cause if you don't I will come back to hold ya
And when you're ready, come on and tell me
I'm gonna be right there waiting for the yell C
Yes, 'cause I'm talkin' about a change
I'm talkin' about a change of lifestyle
The way you went to me was very strange
Stay tuned for a while
I could have been a criminal
Because I live like an animal
A whole place is mad, that's terrible
I was a kid so I tried to live with it
Thinking I was a weak individual
But I was not, I was so strong
And so the music helped me get along
Take a look at me now 'cause here I am
I'm your main man
(NANCE:)
Slave to the music (oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah)

(Oh nay na na na nay na, na na nay-ah)
Twenty 4 Seven - Take Me Away (03:34)
This dutch duo was one of the best eurodance projects. Stay-C and Nance are the faces and voices.
Also Captain Hollywood was the member of the group in early years
For those who find the Cocteau Twins incomprehensible or wish to simply dismiss them, I say "Grow Up!". Have you ever heard of the "New York School" of poets? Check out John Ashbery, only the most highly regarded poet alive today.....

Pull him away, jealous so with me, go there for new, for new things there, singing of a famous street, I've want to love I've all the wrong glory, but is it heaven or las vegas, but you're much brighter than the sun is to me, he's a hustler, it's a roll he'll never make suit, hang onto this, stay and stay and fail and fail, reaching this itch in my soul is like a good playing card, must be why I'm thinking of las vegas, why it more brighter than the sun is to me
It is in English.

Yeah, because Ashbery and the Cocteau Twins are soooo similar.

Only got onto this band recently after buying a secondhand copy of "Treasure" and three of their singles.Really great music.And a gem by Elizabeth with Massive Attack.Can't believe Madonna was penciled in to sing Teardrop Originally!

I heard this track 15 years ago being played in the interval before Blur cam on stages... I knew is was Cocteau Twins, and I bought 4 calendar cafe off the back of that one sublime experience... but it took me this long to find the exact track... it's a truely great song and criminally under-recognised

Just because there are lyrics posted online doesn't mean that they are official. You can find lyrics to all Cocteau Twins songs online, even those that are obviously not english. No official lyrics have ever been released so every thing you see is guesswork. Look for "Elizabeth Fraser interview" on youtube if you think that she always sings in English.
