Example - Today I Met Myself Lyrics
I get the petrol don't forget to buy a couple of sweetsSometimes I like to treat myself if only once a weekOpen the door, get in the car, sit in the driver's seatPeer into the rearview mirror and I'm staring back at meWhen I say me I don't mean me as in my own reflectionHardly slept so I suspect I'm staring at some weird projectionMy brain has made to tell me alcohol abuse is wrongWhereupon, I turn around and realise somethings going on:Trust me son, this ain't a con, you have to trust your eyeballsKnow those eyes are fine because they're mine so don't be stifledYou're slightly balder now and yes your pubes are turnin greyBut you've travelled back in time cause there's important shit to sayDon't do that (nope)They'll try to dupe yaDon't do this (nah)They'll try to shoot yaDon't do her (grim!)She didn't suit yaToday I met myself and I told me bout my futureSo I'm sat in the front and sat in the back, as you do havin a chatAsking bout the change in rap and where the musics atI'm careful not to tell myself entirely everythingI've come here just to warn me as to what the future brings:Oi, Listen, El, surely you can see that you're meI'm you, look at the lips, you really can't ignore meI know that in that bag there's ginger beer and curly-wurlysIt's kinda hurly burly but you must believe my storyI know you tasted glory, was all hunky dory,Now you're standing on the borderline, today's the day your sure to find,You don't know where to draw the line, this is the start of your declineThat's why I came back exactly 15 years before your sordid crimeDon't do that (nope)They'll try to dupe yaDon't do this (nah)They'll try to shoot yaDon't do her (grim!)She didn't suit yaToday I met myself and I told me bout my futureFreakin out, I been sneakin boutFeelin edgy bout the fact that I've seeked me outI'm freakin out, I been sneakin boutAnd I've sat inside my car and started speakin boutWhat's yet to comeIt seems most of what the future has to hold for me is decentBut recently my future self was caught having a threesomeOne of the girls was underage with fake identificationThe other one was legal but her father's occupationWas head of a group of hoodlums from just south of the ThamesThe entire episode was captured from a hidden lensThey found some substances inside the glove box of my carSo I'm front page of the sun, the mirror and the daily starI'm either goin down for twenty or thugs are out to get meMy walls are bout to crumble which is why I went and sent meBack in time, prevent the crime, avoid Jane and AmyIt seems my future self's a prick but really who can blame meDon't do that (nope)They'll try to dupe yaDon't do this (nah)They'll try to shoot yaDon't do her (grim!)She didn't suit yaToday I met myself and I told me bout my future
