...then what comes next? Never knew what the rest of the sample from Impact is saying. I always imagine it's "...what the fuck?" but surely it must be cleaner than that! Brown album didn't come with a parental advisory after all!

isnt there something like 'cry for survival', 'try for survival' or 'our survival'?

A cry for survival,
Survival for them and for us us us us us us us us us"

Or something like that...

Eh??
When does that happen?
The only other vocals I can recall are the melodic bits of what sounds like a moaning woman... is she saying that?

If it is then blow me down its only taken 15 years and 1000s of play and I still never caught on.

Mind you it took me ages to figure out that the "Nothing Left" vocal was actually saying "Nothing Left"! I thought she was talking in gobbledygook like the rest of song.

I am slow to catch on, I will admit that.

haha, that's quite OK. I just figured that out about 4 months ago myself, after 10 years of listening to the track! :D

There are so many Orbital tracks with females breathlessly oozing stuff (admittedly Miss Goldfrapp is responsible for the majority of them) that I normally just accept the vocals as another layer of melody without analysing whats being said.

In the case of "Nothing Left" parts 1 and 2... apart from the title phrase... can anyone decipher what else she is purring about??

...I thought not! :Finger

Safe here
Nothing left"
