You sit around all day, jus' a twiddle your thumbs;
You have a strange expression
Mek you look like you' dumb. [Repeat]

You worry everybody 'til you put them in a box. [Repeat]

Dub freak gone
Gone go check him record shop,
Gone go check him record stock.

Him climb upon the box
Him said him got to reach the top;
Him climb upon the shelf
Him seh you take care yourself.
Him dance upon the floor
Him said a music galore. [Repeat]

Dub freak, dub freak
Deh 'pon the go;
Say you never know
Because I told you so.

Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash; [Repeat]
Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash. [Repeat]
Keyboards in the middle jus'a jump and twiddle. [Repeat]
Rhythm over here an' me seh rhythm over there;
Don't stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear.

Dub freak, dub freak, in a dub freak style
Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild.
Him start from the bottom 'til him reach up the top
Him keep on rocking and him never stop.
Wow and flutter, music just a run like butter. [Repeat]

Dub a slip an' slide
Dub a slip an' slide
Dub a slip an' slide,
He can't find nowhere to hide.

"Food For Thought"

"Food For Thought"



Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.

Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician's argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.

Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say?
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.

Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.

"Forget The Cost"

"Forget The Cost"


Multi-million dollar
Exploration into space
While in the name of progress
This planet's laid to waste
Nation takes on nation
And is stepping up the pace
And someone's got his finger
On the button.

[Chorus:]
Forget the cost
We've got to choose
We're running in a race
That we can only lose.

Rich is rich and poor is poor
And never the twain shall meet
East is east and west is west
And only one shall eat
The microchip has come of age
And man is obsolete
And someone's got his finger
On the button.

[Chorus]

"Freestyler"

"Freestyler"



Say we a just freestyle it
Because we wicked and wild it
Because we know how fe run it
And we just can't done it
And you know say we like it
And we have to excite it
If you come a dance
I say you might get frightin'
Because you know say we live it
And you say we love it
There is very few things I coulda really put above it
I love the booming of the base in a the speaker boxes
The treble in the tweeters it just
A tear off me hat see

I said you just can't trap it
I said you just can't unwrap it
Say you justs can't take it
Say you know you have to find it
Deep down in a your soul I say you have to feel it
Little after that you a go want to reveal it
Coz music is a thing I say you
Know you have to share it
If me couldn't do that
Me just couldn't bear it
Cos the love for the music on me
Sleeve me have fe wear it
Deep down in a me heart I said you
Just couldn't tear it

Me no like them journalist man
Dem come from different land
Say we is a white reggae band
Open your eyes no man you must
Be blind no man
You gwan like your cool man
Your heart must be black no man
Full of bad intention
We is dub organiser
A little oder and wiser
We no like wife beater spreading
Love would be sweeter
Out of many nations yes we are one
Just like the motto if you is Jamiacon

Deep in a the night the musics calling
Deep in a we hearts you know we're
falling in love
It's like a religious calling
Calling calling you better send out
A warning
Calling calling you better send out
A warning

"Good Ambition"
(originally by The Ethiopians)

"Good Ambition"
(originally by The Ethiopians)



I've spent eleven months and five days loving you
And all these times I've spent forgiving you
I don't want to be hurt
I don't want to be hurt
I don't want to be hurt
Not any more

I'm a man with a good ambition
And I will never let you drag me down
You better go home and leave me alone

I'm a man with a good ambition
And I will never let you drag me down
So baby go home
And leave me alone

I've got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you it's a good, good, good ambition

I've got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you it's a good, good, good ambition
I've got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you it's a good, good, good ambition

"Good Situation"

"Good Situation"



That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night

Good evening sweet darling
May I ask your name
You seem to be lonely
Well don't worry I'm feeling the same

Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
Your something that
I just can't miss

That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night
That girl I'm gonna make her mine
If it takes all night

It's been a long time sweet darling
Since love has come my way
But I'm trying so hard
To find the right words to say

Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
That we should meet
At a time like this
Oh it's a good situation
A splendid combination
Your something that
I just can't miss

"Gotta Tell Someone"

"Gotta Tell Someone"


[Chorus:]
I gotta tell someone, can anyone hear me
The girl of my dreams just told me that she loves me
She whispered and I was consumed so completely
Lost in the love that I feel whenever she's near me

She's got me wishing for something thats missing
Staring at the stars getting high on her kissing
Now i got my girl my girl got me
We're making plans for a family

[Chorus]

Together we'll stay come what may
Nothing come between us or get in our way
This is for real, the really big deal
At last we've found someone who knows how we feel

[Chorus]

She took me out walking I should not be talking
Whispered in my ear but I'm telling you nothing
If I were you; you know what I'd do
Get one of your own so you can whisper too...

[Chorus]

"Groovin'"

"Groovin'"



I get my kicks from watching people
Running too and fro
And if you ask them where they're going
Half of the don't know
They're the ones who think I'm crazy
But they don't realize

That I'm just groovin', groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' ooh groovin'
groovin' till I die

I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I'm just groovin' ...... Etc

I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It's so good to be free
I've got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I'm just groovin' ...... Etc

That I'm just groovin', groovin'
Grooving out on life
I'm just groovin' ooh groovin'
groovin' till I die

"Guilty"
(originally by Tiger)

"Guilty"
(originally by Tiger)



Well hello baby
Come sit down, make your self comfortable
Tell me somthing, how long have we known each other?
About ten months huh?
Say what's that on your finger? An engagement ring?
So you and John are getting engaged, huh?
You know he's a mighty lucky guy
Should be proud to have a woman like you
Listen, I've got something to tell you
Don't think I'm getting fresh or anything like that
But this things been bugging me for a long time you know
And its getting heavier each and every day
And I've just gotta get it off my chest
See I've never seen anyone like you
I've never known anyone like you
Let me take me back to my childhood a while
See we had a medium size family you know, we weren't rich
But my mother tried to bring us the best she could
Didn't commit no crime nor nothing
But I had to reach manhood to commit this crime
According to the code of love, if there is such a code
See love is a thing well, you know?
It's a bit like quicksand
The more you wriggle the deeper you sink
And when it hits you you've just got to fall
That's why I do believe that I am guilty
Guilty of loving you
