"... someone who've I really fallen for recently is PJ Harvey. I think she's a genius. She's the first person I've ever heard who makes me feel that I know what it's like to be a woman. If I had the choice of working with anyone in the world then it would be her." -Tricky, Select (Feb. 1994)

The song "is a tribute to the Notorius B.I.G. Tricky wrote it the night he learned of Biggie's death." -Spin, May 1998

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
We lose our voice more each year
Maybe we won't bring soon

Is there cancer in the throat?
No stress
Maybe it's supposed to kill the success
Because success needs killing
Murder is media
False laugh, forged autograph
First my body, now my corpse

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Alive is pain, murder is fame
And if you're famous you may get acquitted
If you did it

There's no where to runaway
Damn you I hope you pay
And finish the day to day
The games we play

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
I'ma stay at home
And talk on the telephone

There's nothing in this world I want from you
Don't fool yourself, I won't cry
Too scared to live
Too quick to die

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
