Sneaker Pimps is a British trip-hop band formed in Reading, Englandin 1995.

M'aidez Lyrics
Sneaker Pimps
May days, throwaways, some things here have got to stay
A string of pearls, the strangest girl, happy with the western world
Painless Chinese burns, ties me down with daisy chains
Diamonds on her tongue and pleasure cuts and teasing
M'aidez - this is no m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez
Dead zones and half-way homes, still life lived on mobile phones
But the girl had wings and precious things under sheets with tangled limbs
Wide awake at dawn the sun will choose to shine on
Silence says it all
Reaching out and blessing
M'aidez - this is no m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez
The higher we climb the smaller we seem, mad with possibilities
No design a zigzag girl, happy with the western world
Painless Chinese burns, ties me down with daisy chains
Diamonds on her tongue, pleasure cuts and teasing
M'aidez - this is no m'aidez, open charms are lost on velvet
Maybe this is no m'aidez, m'aidez
