hahaa i was sitting in class the other day and i had this song in my head, and i was singing to myself and went "ahh, the smell of piss" and the girl next to me gave me such a weird look, haha. example is a legenddddd :)
Ahhh, the smell of piss I don't know why but you feel alive When it's half past 5 and you take a leakage The man in the mirror looks back to speak his - Mind - find it sane to wonder Nothing's clearer. Why am I here? Do I have a use or am I a number? Did he make me when he made the thunder? And if so why? Who? When? How? And why should I think this now? And why do I need these eye ñ brows? Cows make milk, milk is useful We make shit that is used to kill so What's the point of us being here!? [Hook:] It started off as a diamond day I saw myself in a hazy way What's the point of me in this world? You can venture about the place It seems shit stares you in the face Guess sometimes you never can tell [Verse 2:] Go to unearth the answer Strange that I've never been a chancer But things look darker, time to scarper I don't think twice when I grab my parker And slam the door don't turn a shoulder I can't get old be none the wiser And close my eyes at night Just never knowing quite What the fuck we contribute to constitute The wrongs we do and still be plain sailing Top the food chain and Still bloody complaining I set my course for Truthville The truth-will surface maybe, (maybe) [Bridge:] I left without my a to the z So what do I say to my head I'll never find the answers I'm looking for I'm sure, I must just look unsure [Hook:] It started off as a diamond day I saw myself in a hazy way What's the point of me in this world?

how can people say his new shit is good? can people not see how he only makes it to make money? he even talks about how his sole aim is to make money in the song 'sell out'. i miss this period of example, the i love mandy tour was so good, no screaming little girls who love pop music and cher lloyd, just sound people and good music at small venues.
God... I seriously love his new stuff. Midnight Run is fucking epic. But man, his old "real rap" stuff with those chopped-sampled beats by rusher... Fucking Amazing. Too bad hes not playing his old stuff live. going to see him anyway next month :)
Wow so glad to be here in 2024
Best song he's done, haven't heard this since 08!
its good to listen to old example again :') this is one of my favirote songs ever
This song deserves so much more views.
i could listen to this song forever, its so clever
this is the best beauty of music ever crafted so perfectly by human hands. then he made kickstarts.
Ond of the best songs of him
This makes me feel young again.

The song sampled is 'Diamond Day' by Vashti Bunyan. :)
siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick tune!
Ahhh, the smell of piss
I don't know why but you feel alive
When it's half past 5 and you take a leakage
The man in the mirror looks back to speak his -
Mind - find it sane to wonder
Nothing's clearer. Why am I here?
Do I have a use or am I a number?
Did he make me when he made the thunder?
And if so why?
Who? When? How?
And why should I think this now?
And why do I need these eye ñ brows?
Cows make milk, milk is useful
We make shit that is used to kill so
What's the point of us being here!?
[Hook:]
It started off as a diamond day
I saw myself in a hazy way
What's the point of me in this world?
You can venture about the place
It seems shit stares you in the face
Guess sometimes you never can tell
[Verse 2:]
Go to unearth the answer
Strange that I've never been a chancer
But things look darker, time to scarper
I don't think twice when I grab my parker
And slam the door don't turn a shoulder
I can't get old be none the wiser
And close my eyes at night
Just never knowing quite
What the fuck we contribute to constitute
The wrongs we do and still be plain sailing
Top the food chain and
Still bloody complaining
I set my course for Truthville
The truth-will surface maybe, (maybe)
[Bridge:]
I left without my a to the z
So what do I say to my head
I'll never find the answers I'm looking for
I'm sure, I must just look unsure
[Hook:]
It started off as a diamond day

[Verse 3:]
I'm strolling, (he's strolling)
The scenery is rolling
I stop (he stops)
Who's that talking? (Who's that talking)
To the left I see a cornfield
To the right I see some cows
In front I see a set of doors
I think these things are metaphors
For what? Don't ask the question
I talk to the cow for an ounce of sense then
Don't look back head through the doors
I'm back in my bathroom in the mirror
Staring, I've solved the common mystery
Of why we have a history, epiphany
And now this piss seems bliss to me
Cows make milk but what's it for
And corn tastes shit if you eat it raw
But we're so fucking clever
Went and put the 2 together
(Went and put the 2 together
Went and put the 2 together)
And that's the point of us in this world
amazing example of musical/lyrical genuis...
this is some inspirational shit!
how can people say his new shit is good? can people not see how he only makes it to make money? he even talks about how his sole aim is to make money in the song 'sell out'. i miss this period of example, the i love mandy tour was so good, no screaming little girls who love pop music and cher lloyd, just sound people and good music at small venues.
one of his best.
