We've become a race of Peeping Toms. What people oughta do is get outside their own house and look in for a change.

He Oughta Know That By Now
I guess he's working late again
I don't need to wonder where he is
But I do
He oughta know that by now
I know his work takes a lot of him
There's not much left for him to give
But I need more
He oughta know that by now
time
It's just too hard to hold on to what's never around
He oughta know that by now
He used to promise soon things would change
It's been years and it's still the same
And that hurts
He oughta know that by now
I've grown so used to being alone
Couldn't be much worse if I were gone
And in a way I am
He oughta know that by now
time
It's just too hard to hold on to what is never around
He oughta know that by now
Heart ache and coffee at midnight motels
Leaving him was hard as hell
But I did
And he oughta know that by now
I didn't try to explain
No goodbye underneath my ring
That was all I left
He oughta know that by now
That was all I left
And he oughta know that by now

The Race Industry
The coconuts have got the jobs.
The race industry is a growth industry.
We despairing, they careering.
We want more peace they want more police.
The Uncle Toms are getting paid.
The race industry is a growth industry.
We say sisters and brothers don't fear.
They will do anything for the Mayor.
The coconuts have got the jobs.
The race industry is a growth industry.
They're looking for victims and poets to rent.
They represent me without my consent.
The Uncle Toms are getting paid.
The race industry is a growth industry.
In suits they dither in fear of anarchy.
They take our sufferings and earn a salary.
Steal our souls and make their documentaries.
Inform daily on our community.
Without Black suffering they'd have no jobs.
Without our dead they'd have no office.
Without our tears they'd have no drink.
If they stopped sucking we could get justice.
The coconuts are getting paid.
Men, women and Brixton are being betrayed.

Oughta Know By Now
You oughta know by now
That a man cant hold on forever,
So why do you keep waiting here
When you know it makes me want you more?
You oughta know by now
How it fells to be loved,
So why dyou keep me hanging here,
With this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down
When all Im trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.
You oughta know by now
Or maybe someone should show you
That a man needs to be loved
And even in this mans world
With you it dont come easy
You oughta know by now
That no man can sleep at night
With a burning in his heart
That would tear this man apart
Take me out of my misery,
cos all Im trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.
You oughta know by now
Just how good it feels to be wanted,
And no man could love you more,
So why cant you show me something,
Just a little bit of something?
You oughta know by now
All the things a man has to do in his life,
And all these things I do
You know that I do it all for you, I do it all for you.
cos all Im trying to do is trying to get next to you,
Yes all Im trying to do is trying to get next to you.
Let me in, let me in,
Let me in your heart.

I Think About You
I oughta be workin'
But I can't concentrate
I oughta be sleepin'
'Steada stayin' up late
When I oughta be doing all the things I should do
I think about you
I oughta be writin'
But I can't find the song
Just sittin' here driftin'
Driftin' along
There's only one thing that I wanna do
And that's think about you
Chorus
I think about you - I can't get no rest
I think about you - there ain't no one else
It's all I can do - I can't help myself
Ya - I think about you
I could go cruisin'
But I've had enough
I could go drinkin'
But I can't stand the stuff
It just don't do me like it used to do
I'd rather think about you

But Im hopin that youll follow me down to the waterway

Listening to the ticking of the hands on a clock working overtime

If its the last night it oughta be left for lovin, girl

Eyes Open
keep your eyes open as if
love could come a walkin as if
everything else is meaningless, meaningless
and that's the way it oughta be
mysteries, especially she
oh everything else
is almost meaningless, meaningless
oh say
well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my name
oh say
well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my
you'd remember my name
keep your eyes open as if
everyone's a poet as if
everything else is meaningless, meaningless
and that's the way it oughta be, yea

oh well everything else
is almost meaningless, meaningless
oh yea, oh say
well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my name
oh say
well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my
you'd remember my
you'd remember my name
to be a little bit advanced
you gotta take a little bit of a second chance
on life
you gotta get on up and dance
you better throw all your precious plans
better wave them goodbye
a buh bye, buh bye, bye bye bye
ya gotta keep your eyes open
as if everything else is just along
come along on its way
and that's the way it oughta be
well mysteries in everything
well i say, i say
well i, i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my name
oh say
well i will always feel that way
and if a time a change should come
you'd remember my

Stop Your Peeping Through Those Keyholes
Stop that peeping through those keyholes.
Open the windows and doors you've closed.
And take advantage of the time,
Bestowed upon you...
To stretch your mind.
Do this...
And you are certain to grow.
Stop your peeping through those keyholes.
Get fresh air and let yourself be exposed.
To all that is offered,
Beyond suspicions you guess..
And from rumors heard with gossip proposed.
Follow you must...
Each rising Sun.
From dawn 'til noon...
Until the dusk of twilight,
Invites nightfall that comes.
Stop that peeping through those keyholes.
Don't welcome your troubles,
To undo a happiness...
To chase away on the run.
Stop that peeping just to peek.
Stop that peeping just to peek.
Stop your peeping through those keyholes.
Stop that...
Peepng through those keyholes.
Open your windows and doors shut closed.
Stop that...
Peepng through those keyholes.
And take advantage of a life unlived.
One you have yet to accept.
Or come to know.
Stop your peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life to live to be bold.
Stop your,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life to live that is proudly told.
Stop that peeping just to peek.
Stop that peeping just to peek.
Stop that peeping before you're too old.
Stop that,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life to live to be bold.
Stop your,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life to live that is proudly told.
Live a life to live that is proudly told.
And live a life before you're too old.
Stop that,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life to live to be bold.
Stop your,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life to live that is proudly told.
Live a life to live that is proudly told.
And live a life before you're too old.
Stop your,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life before you're too old.
Stop your,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life before you're too old.
Stop your,
Peeping through those keyholes.
And live a life before you're too old.
Live life before you're too old.
Stop your peeping through those keyholes.

And you walk in with your new friend
Well my friend, have I lost again

You smile so sweet
As you dance bye with you new friend
Can't you see its killing me
Cause I know pretty baby

Well you can love the one your with

Countin on my fingers
Countin on my toes
Slippin thru your fingers
Watchin how it grows
You can love me baby but you cant walk out
Someone oughta tell you what its really all about
Do you ever wonder
Do you ever hate
Six feet under
Someone who can wait
You can love me baby but you cant walk out
Someone oughta tell you
Oughta tell you what its really all about
Youre never gonna make it baby
Oohh youre never gonna

Countin on my fingers
Countin on my toes
Slippin thru the ringer
Watchin how it goes
You can love me baby but you cant walk out
Someone oughta tell you what its really all about
Buy another fixture
Tell another lie
Paint another picture
See whos surprised
You can love me baby but you cant walk out
Someone oughta
Someone oughta tell you what its reallly all about
Youre never gonna make it baby
Oohh youre never gonna make it baby

Krafty
Some people get up at the break of day
Gotta go to work before it gets too late
Sitting in a car and driving down the road
It ain't the way it has to be
But that's what you do to earn your daily wage
That's the kind of world that we live in today
Isn't where you wanna be
And isn't what you wanna be
*chorus*
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change my mind (I've got to change my mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be
Looking at the stars from underneath the tree
There's a world inside and a world out there
With that on tv you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too
All shrunk down a two-foot tube
But out there the world is a beautiful place
With mountains, lakes and the human race
This is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do
Give me one more day (one more day)
Give me another night (just another night)
I need a second chance (second chance)
This time I'll get it right (This time I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
I've got to change my mind (I've got to change my mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)
Just give me one more chance (one more chance)
Give me another night (just another night)
With just one more day (one more day)
You know I'll get it right (You know I'll get it right)
I'll say one last time (one last time)
I've got to let you know (I've got to let you know)
If I could change your mind (If I could change your mind)
I'll never let you go (I'll never let you go)

The Villagers
Pop/du prey
The villagers are out tonight
Uptight and bored
Theyre pushing you
Underground
On wintry days they stand and gaze
Outlines in black and ignorant
Villagers
Dark shadows house a sleepy malice
In the backbrain
Of every body you meet
Man is the village animal
United by the glue
Of our loathsome qualities
We are sneaking peeping toms
In revolt against each other
The villagers are most insane
They live to die anonymous
And muted to... villagers
In revolt against the other
But not against the rules
So in the space age the village idiot rules
On tv for all to see while some good men
Walk the streets
Unh unh unh unh unh
The villagersssssss arghhh
You cant get lost you cant get lost
In the village of space you cant get lost

Everybody Oughta Make A Change
Everybody oughta make a change
(by sleepy john estes)
Change in the weather, change in the sea,
Come back baby, youll find a change in me.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later we have to go down in that lonesome ground.
I changed suits, I changed shirts,
I changed, baby, just to get shed of the dirt.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later were going down in that lonesome ground.
I changed honey, I changed money,
I changed, people, just to keep from being funny.
Everybody, they ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later were going down in that lonesome ground.
Change in the ocean, change in the sea,
Come back baby, youll find a change in me.
Everybody, we ought to change sometime,
Because sooner or later were going down in that lonesome ground.

I Oughta Let Go
Chorus:
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better, I oughta let go
It's only Monday, and my heart's already broken
I had a feeling it was gonna be different this time
But you were just talkin', going through the motions
And all the teachings were backin' up your lines
(chorus)
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
(chorus)
(Solo)
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
(chorus repeats 2x)
I oughta know better, I just oughta let go
Man I've got to be crazy, some kind of fever... (to fade

Of Stimulating Packages
Spinsters everywhere,
Are becoming overheated.
Late to marry they are...
If that is done!
And fantasizing in dreams they sleep.
Of stimulating packages,
To arouse and keep them...
Wet in sweat.
And wishing to be touched.
Other than by hands that aren't their own.
Moaning alone in their unshared beds.
And yet when they hear,
Of today's economic woes.
They choose to leave their doors unlocked.
As they expose their nakedness...
To peeping toms invited to stare,
Through open windows.
Passed by men...
Who happen to walk at night,
On their blocks.
With a wish to excite them,
Without stop!

Evil Ways
Youve got to change your evil ways... baby
Before I stop loving you.
Youve go to change... baby
And every word that I say, its true.
Youve got me running and hiding
All over town.
Youve got me sneaking and peeping
And running you down
This cant go on...
Lord knows you got to change... baby.
When I come home... baby
My house is dark and my pots are cold
Youre hanging round... baby
With jean and joan and a who knows who
Im getting tired of waiting and fooling around
Ill find somebody, who wont make me feel like a clown
This cant go on...
Lord knows you got to change

FALLACIES...by talile ali
I DON'T UNDERSTAND ANY OF YOU
PERHAPS I NEVER WILL
IF ANY ONE TOLD ME I WOULD BE LIKE THIS
I'D THINK THAT WE WERE ILL
WHAT A PILL
TO LOVE PEOPLE WHO JUST DON'T FEEL
FALLACIES
TOO MANY FALACIES
FANTASIES
LIFE AS IT OUGHTA BE
I COULD NEVER
CUT A PERSON OUT OF MY LIFE
UNFORTUNATELY I SEE IT DONE EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE
BY MY EX WIFE
WHO SHOWED MY DAUGHTERS HOW TP MISS OUT ON LIFE
FALLACIES
TOO MANY FALACIES
FANTASIES
LIFE AS IT OUGHTA BE
ILLUSIONS MAY BE HELPFUL
BUT CRUELTIES NOT THE WAY
LIVING A LIFE FULL OF STRESS
TILL YOUR DYING DAY
WHAT A MESS
JUST WAITING FOR YOUIR LIFE TO CONFESS

Talkin bout jumping jim
Talkin bout a mud slide slim
Dont you know that a fish got to swim
Dont a goose got to fly high
Little dog got to die
And Im goin home
Woh, dont you know
Woh, dont you know
Talkin bout a life on the street
Gonna think about an itch in my feet
Cant you hand me down them highway shoes
Lord knows Im talkin bout the walkin blues
I got the rockin pneumonia blues
And Im headed home, bye-bye
Woh, dont you know
Woh, dont you know
Listen here now, dont you come round
Talkin bout over yonder
Bound to wake up the walkin man in me
And Im bound to wanderin
Hey now, talkin all about spooning into bone
Looking just like sherlock holmes
Looking for a needle in a haystack
Seein and eatin lots of fatback
Talkin bout a railroad track
And Im going home, goodbye
Woh, dont you know
Woh, dont you know
Woh, dont you know
You oughta know

You oughta know like a fish in the stream
Oughta know like a leaf on the tree
Oughta know like a boat in the sea.

Expectedly
houses are strong
and well insulated
in your
hinterland
but mine is on top
of the hill
kissed by the sun
it is open to the
air
they come and go
and come again
this is the house without
doors and stairs
a house deprived of
windows
and peeping holes
and cracks and
slits
this is the house of the
sun
the earth loves it
its body attached
to the grass
it has no pillars
but trees
no roof but clouds
no walls but spaces
