Screw Faces

[Bob Marley]
Whoa, now!
Screwface know-a who fi frighten!
Screwface know-a who fi frighten!
Like I told, they say, "Coward, man".
Gonna keep some bones
And all violent man gonna weep and moan.
He that exalted him say, "Yeah!"
Shall be obeyed.
Remember Jah - Jah children deh!
Don't dread no pain.
Fear do we go now
To the rivers of ungodly waters, we'll fear no foe
(fear no foe, fear no foe).
Wherever I go,
Not even the pestilence
That crawl at I'n'I
Can't do - wo-wo-wo - me no wrong (just can't do me no wrong).
Oh, now!
I tell you what red is!
I tell you what I know:
(Screwface know-a who fi frighten!)
Screwface know-a who fi frighten!
Screwface know-a who fi frighten! Wo, now!
(Screwface know-a who fi frighten!) Screwface will frighten
screwface!
(Screwface know-a who fi frighten!) Long time gone, y'all!
(Screwface know-a who fi frighten!) Screwface will frighten
screwface!
Wo, yeah! Now!
(Screwface know-a who fi frighten!)

Bring Me The Disco King

You promised me the ending would be clear,
You'd let me know when the time was now,
Don't let me know when you are opening the door,
Stab me int he dark let me dissappear.
Memories that flutter like bats out of hell,
Stab you from city spires,
Life wasn't worth the balance,
Or the crumppled paper it was written on.
(Don't let me know we're invisible.)
(Don't let me know we're invisible.)
Hot flashed days that you trailed around,
Cold, cold nights under chrome and glass,
Let me down a river of perfumed legs,
Sent me to the streets with the good time girl.
(Don't let me know we're invisible.)
(Don't let me know we're invisible.)
We can dance, dance, dance to the fire.
Dance, dance, dance to the fire.
Feed me no lies,
(I don't knwo about you, I don't knwo about you)
Breath through the years,
(i don't knwo about you, I don't knwo about you)
Bring me the disco king,
(I don't knwo about you, I don't knwo about you)
Dead or alive,
Feed me no lies.
Bring me the disco king. Bring me the disco king.
Bring me the disco king. Bring me the head of the disco king.
Spin offs with those who slept like corpes,
Damp morning rays in the stiff black pubs,
Killing time in the seventies,
Smelling of blood in the moist wind.
Don't let me know when you're opening the door,
Close me in the dark, let me disappear,
Soon they'll be nothing left of me,
Nothing left to relieve.

Take It Fightin’

When you’ve got no chance at all,
Take it fightin’.
When you’re driven to the wall,
Take it fightin’.

There are things that we delight in
For the wrongin’ or the rightin’,
But the fool you cannot frighten
(That you cannot bluff nor frighten)
He is King of all.
(Take it fightin’.)

When you’re down an’ out an’ utter,
Take it fightin’;
When they’ve put you in the gutter,
Take it fightin’.

There are things that we delight in
For the wrongin’ or the rightin’,
But the fool you cannot frighten
(That you cannot bluff nor frighten)
He is King of all.
(Take it fightin’.)

Duppy Conquerer

[Bob Marley]
Yes, me friend,
We deh a street again.
Yes, me friend, me good friend,
Dem say we free again.
The bars could not hold me;
Force could not control me now.
They try to keep me down, yeah!
But Jah put I around. Yeah!
Yes, I've been accused many a times
And wrongly abused, now.
Oh, but through the powers of the Most-I,
They've got to turn me loose.
O-o-oh! O-o-ooh! Oh! Don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now.
I've got to reach Mount Zion -
The highest region.
So if you a bull-bucka,
Let me tell you this -
I'm a duppy conqueror - conqueror. Oh, yeah!
Yes, me friend, me good friend,
We deh a street again. O-oh!
Yes, me friend, me good friend,
Dem say we free again. Oh! Oh!
So don't try to cold me up on this bridge, now.
I've got to reach Mount Zion -
The highest region.
So if you a bull-bucka,
Let me tell you this:
I'm a duppy conqueror - conqueror. Oh, yeah!
Yes, me friend,
Dem say we free again. Oh! Oh, yeah!
Yes, me friend,
Dem set we free again. Oh!
Yes, me friend, me good friend, ... /fadeout/

Just think of this and me,
as just a few of the many things,
to lie around and clutter up your shelves
I wish you wern't worht the wait

and i dont think that you knwo what you've been missing
and i dont think that you knwow hat you've been missing
and i dare you to forget

from those nights when we were both at our best
and now i could make this obvious
and you, you could deny me
all in one breath you could shug mr off your shoulders
cos i dont think that you know what oyuve been missing
and i dont hitnk that you knwo what you've been missing

Futility

The scarecrow dressed in cast off clothes.
Sticks grimly to his given task
But does he frighten off the crows,
that is the question we must ask.

When he is new perhaps he will
but crows are wise and realise.
This ragged figure stands stock still
and will not take them by surprise.

He cannot move, inanimate.
Which leaves then free to eat their fill.
A guardian quite inadequate.
He does not and he never will.

Frighten the crows who are too wise
to be afraid of straw stuffed clothes
Though he appears in manly guise
he can’t deter the hungry crows.

The scarecrow fails in his attempt.
He never really stood a chance
Crows treat him with amused contempt
and disregard his vigilance.

Generations Of Love (La La Gone Gaga Mix)

I don't know much
but I know what I feel
there's too many people fighting
tied to the wheel
I don't know much
but I know what i see
there's too many people crying
washed out to sea
and there's much more we can say
much more we can do
much more we can learn
generations of love
I don't knwo you but you know what I am
hey I don't need redemption
or no government plan
no big AIDS sensation
no 28 clause
the end of aparteid
no message of war
the jew and the gentile
the black and the gay
the lost and the futile
they've all got something to say
the african nation
the sword of Islam
the rebels in chaina
the sikhs and the tams
the house of our father
the volumes of guilt
the luck of the Irish
the blood that we've spilt
the angels and martyrs
the lovers and saints
the sisters of mercy
the brothers of pain
