The Orb

The Orb are an English electronic music group known for spawning the genre of ambient house. Founded in 1988 by Alex Paterson and KLF member Jimmy Cauty, The Orb began as ambient and dub DJs in London. Its early performances were inspired by ambient and electronic artists of the 1970s and 1980s, most notably Brian Eno and Kraftwerk. Because of its trippy sound, the Orb developed a cult following among clubbers "coming down" from drug-induced highs. The Orb has maintained its drug-related and science fiction themes despite personnel changes, including the departure of Cauty and other Orb members Kris Weston, Andy Falconer, Simon Phillips, and Andy Hughes. Paterson has been the only permanent member, continuing to work as the Orb with the Swiss-German producer … more »

Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We're going down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey ya, oh hey
Hey ya
Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in
The feelings on your mind like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey ya, oh hey
Hey ya
Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name
'Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you wait for me, as long as there's a light, my shadow's over you
'Cause I, I am the opposite of amnesia

And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty, but you're gone so soon

Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey ya, oh hey
Hey ya
Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the rebel youth

Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du du du, du du du-du
Du du

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey ya, oh hey 
We're going down in history
Hey ya
Remember me for centuries
