The Streets - Memento Mori lyrics
"Memento Mori"
 Ah, what was the question
 Oh yeah, momento mori
 It means remember it's inevitable that we will all die
 It sounds quite depressing when said so raw and direct
 But it means don't hang yourself on a material life
 But that gets dropped when I'm bop on shopping day
 Am I shallow, am i hung up on such wrong ways
 Yes I am shallow and loving every wrong play
 If love is blind then why do we all buy lingerie
 I've got nothing in my life away from the studio
 So when I'm loose I end up consuming dough
 Memento mori, memento mori
 It's latin and it says we must all die
 I tried it for a while but it's a load of boring shit
 So I buy buy buy buy buy buy
 If I start to think of life I have prangs of paranoia
 Pull one stripey shirt off a racks or another
 Overthink my fate grasping a pastel jumper
 Panic buy a flight home, prang though actually sober
 Change my mind and fly back into vegas
 Buy more pastel shades and some famous labels
 Frame the ferrari through the day with the mayhem
 Just to forget about the race in my head
 I don't really care about the luck and the look
 But driving a ferrarri is fucking book

 Memento mori, memento mori
 It's latin and it says we must all die
 I tried it for a while but it's a load of boring shit
 So I buy buy buy buy buy buy
 I think if I could see me now from my growing past
 I'd Hate the shirted cunt that seems to be so fucking flash
 I reckon from the threadsI think all I think's about cash
 But my manager tells me I ought to think about cash
 It's like people don't know the eighties started
 My car just keeps carding with the card machine
 You don't regard the old you, driving a ferrarri
 Mine's the driving license through Nevada at speed
 I never think about money
 In fact I have no idea how much money I have
 Memento mori, memento mori
 It's latin and it says we must all die
 I tried it for a while but it's a load of boring shit
 So I buy buy buy buy buy buy
 Chilly 'n carmen air sips as I'm parting her hair
 But I'm an asbo drinker I want to be chilly parkair
 But asbo drinkers just don't dig my art and my flair
 Even if they dig my asbo driving, past their carlight flair
 Sometimes when I my diamond trinkets with my whores
 I know I've strayed a bit from my old sins and my walks
 But then I laugh out loud that my car still fucking talks
 I feel awful for a bit but at least I'm not poor
