One More Chance - Lyrics - Basement Jaxx
Basement Jaxx are a British electronic dance music duo consisting of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe . The pair got their name from the regular night club they held in their hometown of Brixton, London, UK. They first rose to popularity in the late 1990s. As the British Hit Singles & Albums book duly noted "they surfaced from the underground house scene, are regular transatlantic club chart-toppers and won the BRIT Award for Best Dance Act in 2002 and 2004".

Ripin apart the stitches I see the sketches of what we used to be
Of what we used to see when we layed in the shade
All the love we made must of left a stain
A trace, a place, for we to be, to greed, to bloom, to leave, the leaves in fact they come in the spring to grow again
The tree we signed our names on that tree see?
Payable way in April, May say baby will you stay? Whoa! Whoa!!
Living in the giving of the days gone by when you and I were higher than the ceiling under heaven, felling still here from the days back when. Nothing could ever dim the rays of the sun.
Blue skies 21 guns Saluting, polluting up the sky. aiming high at you and I!
We nood, we lead, we're free. Aren't we still free? Baby don't let it in
One more chance, one more dance, one more chance don't let it in.(x4)
I remember when i used to play the fool for you. you'd laugh but now you cry. But i still remembered when we'd fly. You and I running though strawberry fields up the hill, I feel your body in the creeks. Smell the sweet daffodils.
Baby breath something left. Have we got? Don't we have a good thing? A ring of hope I cope I rope. This i ask don't let it in.
One more chance, one more dance, one more chance, don't let it in.(x4)
Remember when we used to roller skate? Lemonade pink like your lips. We sink our hips to the one. How could it come? You without me? Didn't you say you could never be without me?
(Extended Version only below)
The beat. Listen to the beat. Our love is like all night all right, steady dire desire. a desire that want's to burn, inside her, inside him, inside you, inside me, inside burn, I feel the same yarn turning, I'm living still giving love, never has it died. Never let it die. Don't turn it off the sound the music, the joy; let it be, let it play, let the DJ play. Let me lay with you. The sex I bet if you give it one more chance, one more dance, one more chance... don't let it in. Whatever it is that you drink, don't let it in.
