Faithless are a UK group of musicians whose music is described by one of their band as a cross between trip-hop and techno. The four original members of Faithless were rapper Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, instrumentalist/vocalist and producer Rollo Armstrong. Jamie Catto (now in 1 Giant Leap) left after their second album, Sunday 8pm, which was released in 1998. Rollo Armstrong's sister Didoalso features on several Faithless tracks. For the 2004 album No Roots, Faithless were joined by rapper/vocalist LSK, Rollo's studio relationship is quite unique as he has synesthesia [a clinical condition where sounds have colour] .

Love Lives on My Street Lyrics
Faithless
[LSK]
A mans life got took away in the city today, they say
But never tell how many's been born
Inform us of a top notch surgeon's mistake
But not the many lives he's saved before
Show us starving kids through expensive lenses
On a far and distant shore
Of which, when sold, could feed a good few
Hey mister rich - Why don't you help the poor
Bad news, sad news, never no good news
S'all they print and beam
Make a child believe that there ain't no love
Well hey, love lives on my street.
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed
Love is you, love is me, love is us, love is free
Zip up your front all ya want
But there's a heart in every seed
Back up from the crap and the desert of dying sons
Me I'm trying to come to terms and learn as one
Way to display the way I'm feeling, I need healing
From the floor to the ceiling,
But I'm not gonna sit n' die while time ticks by
I gotta get up, stand up, before I break up into pieces
Iron out the creases,
Find out what peace is.
[LSK slow]
Love is you (2x)
