Gorillaz - Machine Bitez #1 lyrics

Who are all these people?

These are my friends, um, I've actually met
These guys in,  erm,  Lidl in, uh
 in Shoreditch
And we had a fight over the last stollen, I
Said, "Look, let's just split the stollen"
And we started chatting about
Things and then he
Said "Um, um, I'm in this band
Called Slaves" and I said "Um
I'm in a band and do you wanna
Come hang out and do a little bit of work
With us?" And he was like "Ye, man, ye"
And that's how it started really

And you just brought him along
You don't know his background?
(Man, just- that's how it started)

But I don't know his background, no

You, you know his foreground?

I know his foreground, it's very clear
His foreground is very clear
Background's a bit hazy
