One Big Mob Lyrics

[Pre-Chorus]
I am you are me
I am you are me, who
I am you are me
I am you are me
Good woman said you gotta believe (I am you are me)
Submerge into the urge of we (I am you are me, who)
Deliciously the mystery (I am you are me)
The mystery (I am you are me)

[Chorus]
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)

[Refrain]
One big mob is...

[Verse 1]
Ooze into into my noodle
East or west shepherd or poodle
Ladybug pine tree to mingle with the bumblebee
A lover to the sun and a brother to the cool breeze

[Refrain]
One big mob is...
[Chorus]
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)

[Refrain]
One big mob is...

[Verse 2]
We live in the city, we live in the jungle
It's time to be drinking, a thimble humble
Everything you ever see is never more than you and me
Oh, give it on in to the beauty of the mystery

[Refrain]
One big mob is home


[Bridge 1]
One big mob in one big home
A broken home
I'd like to share some air with you
Some air with you
A morning forest full of truths
The green is blue
The head that's getting pregnant lives
To give and give
[Bridge 2]
What was I thinking in my head
The color red
Breaking hearts instead of bread
Something I said
Checkmated by frustration, I
Need to be cut loose
A different kind of being lost
A sullen cost

[Pre-Chorus]
I am you are me
I am you are me, who
I am you are me
I am you are me
Good woman said you gotta believe (I am you are me)
Submerge into the urge of we (I am you are me, who)
Deliciously the mystery (I am you are me)
The mystery (I am you are me)

[Chorus]
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)
[Refrain]
One big mob is...

[Verse 3]
Scrawled upon the wall of a bathroom stall
A stranger wrote a note that spoke to all
One, two, buckle my shoe
Take care of me 'cause I might be you

[Refrain]
One big mob is...

[Chorus]
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
One big mob (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Ek bara mala (oh yeah, oh yeah)

[Refrain]
One big mob is...

[Verse 4]
Peek-a-boo street in Timbuktu
Do I need to repeat that a boy named Sue
Rocking to the beat of the kangaroo
Let me kiss your feet and forehead too

[Refrain]
One big mob is...

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
