Take me down, six underground
The ground beneath your feet ''(A one two, a one two, a one two)''
Laid out low, not meant to go
Nowhere a way to meet ''(A one two, a one two, a one two)''
I've got a head full of drought, down here
So far off losing out, 'round here
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
''A one two, a one two, a one two''
Calm me down, bring it 'round
Too way high off your street ''(A one two, a one two, a one two)''
I can see like nothing else
In me you're better than I wannabe ''(A one two, a one two, a one two)''
Don't think 'cos I understand I care
Don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
Talk me down, safe and sound
Too strung up to sleep ''(A one two, a one two, a one two)''
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap ''(A one two, a one two, a one two)''
I fake my life like I've lived too much
I take whatever you're given, not enough
Overground, watch this space
I'm open...
I fake my life like I've lived too much
I take whatever you're given, not enough
Overground, watch this space
I'm open to falling from grace
''A one two, a one two, a one two''
''A one two, a one two, a one two''
''A one two, a one two, a one two''
''A one two, a one two, a one two''
''A one two, a one two, a one two''
Sneaker Pimps are an English electronic music band, formed in Hartlepool in 1994. They are best known for their debut album, Becoming X (1996), and its singles "6 Underground" and "Spin Spin Sugar". The band takes its name from an article the Beastie Boys published in their Grand Royal magazine about a man they hired to track down classic sneakers.
The band was founded by electronic musician Liam Howe and guitarist Chris Corner. They later recruited Kelli Ali (then known as Kelli Dayton) as lead singer, plus guitarist Joe Wilson and drummer Dave Westlake as backup musicians. After Becoming X, the band decided to replace Ali with Corner on vocals. Wilson and Westlake departed in 2002. In 2016 Howe and Corner revived the group after a lengthy hiatus. In 2021, they began releasing new music.
