All I Wan't To DoI don't like the work but true i need the money
My life is like a joke but to me is isn't funny
People all around, telling me what to do
And all I want to do is stay at home with you
Time after time I say to myself
Working all my life isn't good for my health
Get old, get tired, get put on the shelf
BabyBaby be true and I'll give my love to you
I need you baby
Treat me right and I'll love you day and night
I mean it, baby
I'll give my world to you, my babe
I'll do what you ask me to, now babe
I mean it, baby
When you're down I'll be around

Let it burn, let it burn

C' est La VieA woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks she's crazy
They're too blind to see
She never failed to call attention
To the things we never mention
Real horror, daily, courtesy of your TV
Cant Help Falling In Love With YouIf I just cant help falling in love with you
Wise men say,
Only fools rush in,
But I cant help,
Falling in love with you.
Shall I stay,
Cherry Oh BabyOh Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby,
Don`t you know I`m in need of thee?
If you don`t believe it`s true,
What have you left me to do?
Look how long I,ve been waiting,
For you to come right in.
And now that we are together,
Please make my joys come over
Come Out To PlayHe used to think that it was neat
When he hung out on the street
Now that it's his daily beat, he's not so sure
'Cause he's come to depend
On a street with a dead end
And he'll sell you his best friend, so he can score
[Chorus]
Cover UpCover up
With loving protection
Guard your love
In every direction
[Chorus:]
Don't give up
For fear of rejection
Cream PuffTake her if it has to be this way
I know she doesn't really want to stay
But be careful how you hold her
Please don't ever scold her
She's my cream puff
We've been together a long, long time
I know her ways and she knows mine
Don't Break My HeartYou shoot me down in flames
You put me down a lot
But I`m giving you my heart
Go on take it
Please be careful not to break it
Just remember it`s the only one I`ve got
It`s the only one I've
Don't Do The CrimeDon't do the crime,
If you can`t do the time
It's said that it just don't pay.
But what good's working hard
When all they give you is your cards
And you know there's not much you can say.
So you take what they give
Don't Slow DownYou might believe, and still you feel the chase has just begun.
That you must reach that horizon before the setting of the sun.
You chase the light in front of you, nightfall close behind.
If you stop to catch your breath, you know what you will find.
[Chorus]
Don't slow down don't touch the ground.
You know what you will find.
End Of WarMankind must put an end to war
Or war will end mankind
Ask just who you are fighting for
And who's the mastermind
Question what we're doing here
How long can we sustain
The guilt that feeds upon our fear
We pass the buck but not the blame
Every Breath You TakeЗа каждым твоим дыханием
И за каждым твоим движением
За каждой связью, которую ты рвешь,
За каждым шагом, который ты делаешь,
Я наблюдаю
За каждым твоим днем,
За каждым сказанным словом,
Everything Is Better NowEverything is better now
Better than is was before
Sunshine on a golden bough
Darkness locked behind closed door
Now I found a better place
Somewhere I can lay my head
Clean fresh air and open space
Safe upon my feather bed
Food For ThoughtIvory 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.
Politicians argue sharpening their knives.
Good AmbitionI'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
Good SituationThat 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
HappinessI was born with so much love I burst each time the sun rises
I reserved the hurt I feel to make happy suprises
In my heaven here on earth I found my paradise
All the laughter in my heart I credit to your smile
Happiness is seeing all the stars in your eyes
Happiness is knowing you are loved
I berode the fears I had and sorted them all out
Took a love offered me and pushed away the dark
Here We Go AgainWow check This huh
We've lost our way
And don't know which way to turn
(Here we go again) we put trust in great man
And still we get burnt (Here we go again)
Why do we fall for the same old lines?
Holly HolyHolly holy eyes
Dream of only you
Well I am what I am,
what I believe in
Holly holy
Holly holy dreams
Wanting only you
Yes she comes
Homely GirlIt must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say, you look better
in the dark.
But now they'd give all they learned in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you
Oh, yes, they would
The teacher would ask the questions
I Can't Help Falling In Love With YouЯ НЕ МОГУ НЕ ЛЮБИТЬ ТЕБЯ
Мудрецы говорят: спешат лишь глупцы.
Но я не могу не любить тебя.
Но задержка была бы грехом,
Ведь я не могу не любить тебя.
Как река непременно становится морем,
I Got You BabeHER: They say we're young and we don't know

When you`re with me honey
It happens all the while
I'm On The UpThing's ain't so bad
They sure could be better
Thing's ain't so good
But I'm sure it won't last
Storm clouds above
But I got my umbrella
I would if I could
I can't change the past
If It Happens AgainIf it happens again, I'm leaving
I'll pack my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no looking back
And I won't say I told you so
I won't say I told you so
You did what you were told
And you took the strain
Impossible LoveWhen we were together
Those were the happiest time in all my life
Now were separated I don't know what I will do
'Cause I can't ever love another
No matter how hard I try
'Cause I know. It's impossible
Where ever you may be
I hope you'll hear my song
It's A Long Long WayIt's a long long way from here
Don't you worry yourself my dear
It's a long long way from here
Drought and famine in tv land
Read the Sunday papers credit card ina your hand
Sing your song of freedom just to ease your troubled mind
And save your guilty pennies for the ones you leave behind
It's My DelightI love you like I want you
And I kiss you like I need you
Every night

I'll tell you words of comfort
It's my delight

LisaI admire you from afar
You've changed the way I see
I used to think that I
Should make you be like me
But after this short time
Watching what you do
I realize that I
Should strive to be like you
Matter Of TimeJust a matter of time, till you run out of breath
Money mountains you climb, never hedging your bets
But your luck can run out, you'd better watch your step
Just a matter of time
Just a matter of days, till the factory's done
When they shut down the lathes 'cause the work has all gone
And nobody cares 'cause there's no-one

Mr. Fix ItIf you're feeling lonely
Cause your one and only
Boy has found a girl
And gone away
Just you reach for the phone
I'll be there at home
My name is Fix It
And I'll be there
Music So NiceWhen the dancehall jus' ram, some people call it confinement
But if you're with your woman or your man, it's pure excitement
When you see the girls groove, they get right in the mood for loving
And if the weedman in the place, there's no time for pushing and shoving
You see the DJ on the scene, he knows just what you mean about rubbing
And when you're feeling alright, he's right out of sight while he's dubbing
Never Let You GoI will never let you go
I will never
I will never let you go
I will never
I've got to hold on, every day
In every way, but the things you will say
Just couldn't be that way
Now And ThenNow and then
I must admit I wonder if I had the chance
To vanquish foes with nothing more than just a glance
How perfect every single day would be
To never wait in driving rain
For the bus that never came
Not to be the one to blame
Once AroundOnce around was all I ever needed
And in my dreams you take me by the hand
And I know that you will be with me forever
As the wheel takes us both once more around
Once around the wheel begins revolving
Our bodies slowly lifted from the crowd
The hustle of the city's slowly fading
One In TenI am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don`t exist
Nobody knows me
Even though i`m always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn`t care
One Woman ManI'm a one woman man after all these years
I've sailed with the tide on a sea of tears
Any port in a storm, I'd make my home
Any arms that were warm, when I was alone
CHORUS
When the moon was high, I would drift away
Into the night, until another day
Oracabessa MoonshineOracabessa moonshine
Is washing over me
The Jacaranda tree
And bathing in the sea
Oracabessa sun up
Will chase the night away
Across the Lada bay
And back to yesterday
Please Don't Make Me CryYou say you're gonna to leave me, I'm begging you to stay
But baby, I can't get through it anyway, no I can't
And when I wake up in the morning, you are gone
Little pretty thing, you know I'll be all alone, you'll leave me crying
Please don't make me cry
Cause I can't say goodbye
Please don't make me cry
Plenty MoreOn a radio wave the call to the grave
Is wrapped up in glory to fool the brave
They tell a tall story of all those who gave
All that they had for the freedom they'd save
On the TV broadcast they said it won't last
All over by Sunday consigned to the past
The clean-up starts Monday despite the bomb blasts
Present ArmsYou got no job you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They'll take you off to fight on foreign shores
You'll be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero that shows no fear
Promises And LiesAll the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
I was much too blind to see
You make a loser out of me
You put me down for oh so long
While you sang your serpent's song
[Chorus]
Rainbow NationIn our youthful condemned nation
The truth speaks for it'self
That in a time of darkness
Someone cried for help
So we told a simple story
Of innocence and lies
How the truth became so twisted
Rat In Mi KitchenThere's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna go?
I'm gonna fix that rat that's what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat
When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame,
But when they catch you up,
Rat In My KitchenThere's a rat in the kitchen what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in the kitchen what am I gonna go?
I'm gonna fix that rat thats what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat.
When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give every body the blame,
But when they catch you up,
They will shut you up

Thoughts of you leave my head
I was wrong, now I find

Reggae music can't refuse it
So give us what we want and mek we gwan
Riddle Me[Chorus]
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this,
Who owns the chains that bind your wrists?
Riddle me who, riddle me why, answer me this,
Who built the machine that washed your brain?
Like parents did before them
Your parents did the same
They said do your best, you must pass the test
RudieHold it down Rudie enough is enough
Kill it with kindness, kill it with love
No more deceiving; so throw off the gloves
Kill them with kindness kill them with love.
Fill them with feeling straight from the heart
Dealing with healing will set you apart
Respecting their meaning; releasing the dove
SardonicusA human statue made of living stone
A paradox etched in human bone
If you could look behind his thin disguise
There's a hidden glint of madness in his eyes.
Many men are fooled by his smile
His superficial grace his charm his style
Sardonicus is everybody's friend
She Caught The TrainAnother night of loneliness
My love is gone
She made a fuss and she was wrong
Yet she is gone
I asked her friends if they'd seen her
They said she'd take the train
I run to catch the train
Oh my, the train is gone
Silent WitnessThe neon haze of city lights
The tribal sound of marching feet
Cuts through the gloom on cold dark nights
The tired and homeless roam the streets
The sirens wail the engines roar
A shadowed man just glances around
A victim of life's mindless toil
Lies cold and helpless on the ground
Sing Our Own SongThe great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
Smile For MeGirl I don't want to waiste time, me just love the profile
You have the general going wild
Degree love it when you smile
Smile for me, you fill my heart with pleasure
Can't you see, you make me feel a whole lot better
Just smile for me. just keep that smile forever
Baby girl the two of we, we have to get together
So Here I AmSeven 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.
So here I am sitting at the bus stop
Wishing I was somewhere else
Where I didn't have to work my rocks off
Someone Like MeWe don't 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
Something More Than ThisI 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
Stick by MeStick by me and i`ll stick by you
Stick by me and i`ll stick by you
My life here on earth would be useless can`t you see
If I didn`t have you to stick by me
I love you darling and that`s no lie
Stick by me and i`ll stick by you
When you cry I cry too
Sweet CherrieI've got to find sweet cherry
She's gone away from home
I've got to find sweet cherry
She's left me all alone
(chorus)
Cherry, cherry,
Sweet SensationI can feel those thrill's walking over
When you hold me tight
Now I feel those pains aching over
When you say goodnight
[Chorus]
Oh what sweet sensation
Tears From My EyesThe tears from my eyes keep on falling
'Cause you are leaving, leaving with another
The things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby
The tears from my eyes keep on falling
'Cause you are leaving, leaving with another
The things that we've done together
I'll always remember though you're with another, baby
Tell It Like It IsI sus' a tell it like it is, yeah
I sus' a tell it like it is, oh yeah
I've got to be blatant in this time
Jus' like I know 1 + 1 no make 9 [Repeat]
Now what was I saying about being blatant
You got to be blatant in an argument
You got to make sure your feelings are felt
Tell Me Is It TrueTenderly she smiles
Forgiving my mistakes
Getting her to love me
Was my biggest break
Every place I go, she’s inside of me
Giving up her love unconditionally
She shines the sun
She pours the rain
The Buzz FeelingWell the man Like General Slinger
Sa live the life you love and love the life you live
Cause what is in my hart is design to give
But special request is to all back stabber should be stuck in asieve
When I and I smoke senisman give thanks and praise to the full causes what
[Chorus]
The buzz feeling lord
The Elevator1st floor decide what you`ll be one day
With a head full of comment and nothing to say
2nd floor mixed up it happens that way
Soon you realize that listening don`t pay
3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves
Up or down it`s time to choose
(chorus)
The PillowA smile for every passing car
And when they stop with door ajar
She shrugs and whispers que sera
And turns her thoughts to the pillow
Her face is etched with memories
She finds now joy amid the sleaze
It's hard when you've been paid to please
So she turns her thoughts to the pillow
The Piper Calls The TuneHe wields his flute with an expert hand
And then, all too soon
The dancing stops and the children stand
The piper calls the tune.
He holds their future in his palm
An old and powerful man
With missiles poised and bombs at hand
The PrisonerA misfit who is old before his time
Poverty has turned him to crime
Boredom gives him too much time to think
He pours another drink.
[Chorus]
A burning, bitter taste of irony
A prisoner in the land of the free.
The RoadThe roadmap to freedom translates as a fake
Handshakes and mistakes
Turned into heartaches when losers have lost
All their give and their take
And check a mistake turn to heartache
Five hundred thousand forced to flee
A million square miles of emergency
The Train Is ComingThe train is coming baby
I say the train is coming now
I say the train is coming baby
I say the train is coming now
So long I've been waiting
Waiting for you, oh yeah
Now the time has come
The Way You Do The Things You DoYou got a smile so bright
you know you could of been a candle
Im holding you so tight
you know you could of been a hand gun
The way you swipe me of my feet
you know you could of been a broom
and baby so, so sweeted
Two In A One Mk 1(chorus)

Version GirlVersion girl (what's your name?)
Oh you come and you go
Version girl (what's your name?)

It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me

Don't you know I long to say
Version girl (what's your name?)
Walk This LandTell me something
how come you walk on me land
How come you walk on me land
and tell me that it's yours
Tell me something
How come you walk on me land
How come you walk on me land
War PoemSilence falls on no-mans land
To echo on uncertain footsteps
Sharp of iron quick of hand
Advancing forward to regrets
Under foot the and mortars
Slip away the codes of warnings
From the top the barking orders
Light the sky and leave that morning
WatchdogsYou try to close your ears
And you try to close your eyes
But the blasphemies keep coming
Tempting you with lies
[Chorus:]
Give thanks for your protection
Your watchdogs of the night
Write Off The DebtWrite off the debt
Me say write off the debt
Me say write off the debt
And stop the third world a fret
I say the I'm put on too much interest
Certain man pon the streets can't even buy a little vest
I said the east and the west them just a build up dem chest
Certain man in the third world can't even digest, a little food
You Haven't CalledI've been thinking about you
And what you can do whispering words to me
Though we're miles apart i feel you start
Going to work on me
I'm in a hotel room alone
Staring at the phone
I smoke another cigarette
