| No comments - what an outrage! IMHO this is the best song on Blue Lines, and the best Tricky-Massive Attack work. Fabulous bass line and great lyrics, especially Daddy G's bits, such as: Sharper than a Wilkinson razor sword and To avoid a complication I'll give some information About a certain location Under Paddington Station Such a shame Massive do so few of their own vocals these days... | |

| its almost like saying she will be open minded about whats going on in the world ("free my mind") and just let people have their ways ("friends and enemies"), but when it comes to her "baby" she will look into her almost animal instincs to protect it (which is also letting yourself be "free" as in free to your own nature) | |

| i think it is about her wishing to protect her love and also her ability to love in the violent times we have. "you can free the world, you can free my mind" might be an ironic statement on the 1990/91 political situation with western countries starting to "export" western values like political freedom to the world, sometimes using violence and war; while at the same time on european and us-american streets everyday violence made (and makes) people feel unsafe. i suppose there's more to it, i don't quite get the context between what she sings and what 3D says. | |

| darken the room, let the song get inside of you...the music is mystical, together with the lyrics (kinda weired, but catchy), sung by this totally fitting voice, cool | |

| I agree. This is the best song on Blue Lines. Great delivery, great bass, great syncopation. | |

| God, I love this song so much! The beat gets stuck in my head all the time, Nelson's voice is so powerful and sexxxxy, and I have a thing for 3D's little rap, which works with Nelson's part so well. Talk to my friends about me spontaneously chanting "I was looking back to see if you were looking back at me to see me looking back at you." | |

| Ahhhhhh I just saw Massive Attack live tonight. This song is stuck in my head. It was so beautiful. Shara has the most wonderful voice. I can't properly express how great a time I just had | |

| I think bascially she's singing that she just care about the world around her as there's nothing she can do to change it. All she cares about is that her 'baby' is ok. | |
