Shake Those Windows Lyrics

Athlete

Lives in edinburgh
just across the road
sometimes my stereo and in my aching bones
its on the sugar hill and in your ringtone

shake those windows
songs and songs and beats and rhymes in life
this blackout it just helps to love those clear night skies

just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then
in two seconds the beat was recognised
and all the old school heads nodded back in time
and though we just met i've known you all my life

shake those windows
songs and songs and beats and rhymes in life
this blackout it just helps to love those clear night skies

just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then
just let the record play and bring it back again
you can't appreciate what we were into then

just let yourself go
just let yourself go
just let yourself go
just let yourself go
