About This Track
'Three' by Massive Attack is a 1994 electronic track from the album 'Protection'. The lyrics circle on “Three's my lucky number”, with fortune imagined as arriving in threes, before the narrator weighs the aches of growing up and the regret of not knowing what childhood seems to know. There is a plaintive, slightly self-interrupting feel to the way the verse pivots between certainty, wishing, and loss, all while returning to the same refrain of wanting knowledge.
"Three" is a track by Massive Attack, from the album Protection, released 25th September 1994. The track is 3:49 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about Massive Attack.

Lyrics
Three's my lucky number And fortune comes in threes But I wish I knew that number That even little children seem to see Oh, I'm missing everything I knew It's just so hard to be a child Oh, I'm missing all the things I knew Yet wish I knew nothing at all I wish I knew nothing at all Soon I'll have the courage To leave my thoughts behind I'll give back all the knowledge And keep the wisdom precious in my mind Oh, I'm missing all the things I knew I miss them yet I want them gone Yes, I'm missing all the things I knew Yet wish I knew nothing at all I wish I knew nothing at all I wish I knew nothing at all
