"So Destructive"

"So Destructive"


It's so destructive
Counter productive
How we gonna make it
When we do not know where love lives [2x]

I'm not seeing what you're saying
All the games that you are playing
Look like tactics for delaying
While we're on our knees and praying
Making and breaking
Sitting and debating
The art of speculating
Then accumulating

I'm not buying what you're selling
All your shouting and a yelling
And the lies that you are telling
Don't strike me as compelling
Picking and choosing
Winning and losing
Cutting and bruising
Using and abusing

I'm not taking what you're giving
The elections you are rigging
From your penthouse living
The deals that you are fixing
Creeping and crawling
Running and falling
Stopping and stalling
Crying and bawling

"So Here I Am"

"So Here I Am"


Seven on a Monday morning.
And it's a sunny day.
It's just too hot to be working
But you've got to pay your way.

[Chorus:]
So here I am sitting at the bus stop
Wishing I was somewhere else
Where I didn't have to work my rocks off
Wishing I could please myself.

Ten hours a day I'm grafting
Under the bosses eye,
Earn just enough to keep going,
Making cars I'll never buy.

[Chorus]

Five days a week I'm giving,
My time is clocking on.
Just two days left for living,
Wondering where my life has gone.

[Chorus]

"Someone Like Me"

"Someone Like Me"



We dont need to make excuses
Together we are free
To throw away the rule book
And start with ABC
We can go to all the places
We always wanted to be
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me

If you're looking for a daddy
You won't get that from me
There are things I want to do to you
That he should never see
You will never scare me baby
You can try anything with me
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me

Don't need no little woman
A wallflower's not for me
The only way I want you girl
Is independently
Wont't lock you up in prison
And throw away the key
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me

Not looking for redemption
It's much too late for me
The two of us together girl
Can set each other free
Children need a mother
Buts it's not the same for me
It takes a bad girl like you
To love someone like me

"Someone Like You"

"Someone Like You"



There must be some place we can go
There must be someone that you know
Where can I go, and who you know worries me, oh Lord

Where can I find someone like you, to love
Where can I find someone like you, my love

There must be something we can try
There must be some things we can find
What can I try, and how to get by worries me, oh Lord

Where can I find someone like you, to love
Where can I find someone like you, oh my love

"Something More Than This"

"Something More Than This"



I said, there must be something more than this
Green environmentalist
Back street agriculturist
Scientific herbalist
Herbalistic socialist
T.H.C dialysis
Grow your own psychiatrist
Smoking self-analysis

Said there must be something more than this
There must be something we a miss

Less is more so more or less
When there's nothing going on
Innocence is happiness
You ain't not doing nothing wrong

Said, there must be something more than this
Anti-vivisectionist
Freedom fighting activist
Headline making terrorist
Religious fundamentalist
Money lending capitalist
Bible bashing moralist
Revolution catalyst

Said there must be something more than this
There must be something we a miss

Less is more so more or less
When theres nothing going on
Innocence is happiness
You ain't not doing nothing wrong

"Sorry"

"Sorry"


Please don't say sorry
Presuming a respect for what you say
If in your heart you mean it
Then you'll understand me feeling
You must prove it; sign the cheque without delay
Most humbly yours, four hundred years back pay

[Chorus:]
I'm not begging charity
Don't confuse the things I say
Give me what belongs to me
Give me what belongs to me

Just don't say sorry
As if that can excuse this tyranny
No value in your talking
Money speaks and bullshit's walking
Round in circles re-inventing history
Trying to erase our memory

[Chorus]

If you say sorry
Can I assume you've realised the shame
The seeds of your oppression
Fall and ripen with aggression
You can't hold us any longer with your chains
Time to compensate us for our claims

Don't bother wi' no sorry
Don't bother wi' delay
A four hundred years
Is not just the other day

I'm not begging charity
Don't confuse up your mind
Payment overdue
Fe a long long time

You come a we gate
No bother hesitate
You tek away we tings
Like a damn pirate

"Soul Rebel"
(originally by Bob Marley)



I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

See the morning sun, on the hillside
Not living good, yeah
You better travel wide
You better travel wide
Said I'm a living man
I've got work to do
If you're not happy, children
Then you must be blue
I said, you must be blue

I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning time
Soul rebel
I'm a capturer
Soul adventurer

See the morning sun, on the hillside
Not living good, yeah
You better travel wide
You better travel wide
Said I'm a living man
I've got work to do
If you're not happy, children
Then you must be blue
I said, you must be blue

I'm a rebel, rebel in the morning time
Soul rebel
I'm a capturer
Soul adventurer

I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

"Sparkle Of My Eyes"

"Sparkle Of My Eyes"


Many a girl has caught my eye,
Many a girl and that ain't no lie.
But girl to me, you top them all,
So beautiful with no effort at all.

[Chorus:]
Sparkle of my eyes, sparkle of my eyes,
sparkle of my eyes, sparkle of my eyes.

Girl in you eyes I see the stars,
Warm as the sun, in spring you are,
A certain delight I feel in your touch,
And when you smile I love it so much.

[Chorus]

Gentle to me and so very kind,
Never saying no, you're good for my mind.
You ask me why your so special to me,
Look in these eyes girl, and then you will see.

[Chorus]

"Stay A Little Bit Longer"
(originally by Delano Smith)



Stay a little bit longer
Hold on I'm coming
Stay a little bit longer
Hold on I'm coming

It's getting late darling
What will your mamma say

Stay a little bit longer
Hold on I'm coming
Stay a little bit longer
Hold on I'm coming
Stay a little bit longer
Hold on I'm coming - that's what she said
Don't fight, you better not fight it
