5/4 é a segunda faixa do álbum auto-intitulado de estreia do Gorillaz. O título da música vem dos compassos 5/4 não convencionais usados nos riffs de guitarra do Noodle. Curiosamente, no entanto, a música está quase inteiramente em 4/4, com apenas a guitarra em 5/4.
Originalmente, a música era para ser o segundo single do álbum depois de “Clint Eastwood“, mas foi substituída por “19-2000“.
O videoclipe nunca foi concluído, mas o storyboard foi incluído no DVD, Phase One: Celebrity Take Down em 2002.
[Verse 1: 2-D]
Magic for me
Magic makes no sound
It good for me
It good for me underground
Magic on me
Really got me down
Invade the city
It made my heart beat no sound
[Bridge: 2-D & Noodle]
Beat no sound
Beat no sound (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Beat no sound
Beat no sound
Beat no sound (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Pre-Chorus: 2-D]
And let me tell myself
Tell on
[Chorus: 2-D & Noodle]
She turned my dad on
She turned my dad on, dad on, dad on
[Verse 2: 2-D]
Magic for me
Magic, get me through
With magic money
People seem to walk through you
Magic’s funny
Magic, get me through
All good for me
When people seem to always walk through you
[Bridge: 2-D & Noodle]
Walk through you (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you (ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you
Walk through you
[Pre-Chorus: 2-D]
And let me tell myself
Tell on
[Chorus: 2-D & Noodle]
She turned my dad on
She turned my dad on, dad on, dad on
[Bridge: 2-D]
She made me kill myself
Come on
Come on
[Chorus: 2-D & Noodle]
She turned my dad on
Come on
She turned my dad on
Come on
She turned my dad on
She turned my dad on, dad on, dad on
