Putting on some clothes I made my way to school

And I found my teacher

crouching in his overalls

I screamed and ran to smash my favorite slot machine

And jumped the silent cars that slept at traffic lights

(I always fund the slot machine reference very "modern" as they were new to me in the 80s!)

[Keef your earlier post from God Shuffled His Feet has just prompted me to buy the album off t?internet. Great album. I?ve not heard it in ages!]

*You should have said, I'd have copied it for you. You don't meet many others who like them, but I think they're great!)

How does a duck know what direction south is, or how to tell his wife from all the other ducks?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind

[ChavWivaLawDegree]

This is from Jah Lush's namesake - Jah Cure - Prison Walls

Behind these prison walls

Doing my paces

Doing my time

I am, Spending my restless nights

Visioning faces

Oh they all crying

Cryyyyyyyyyying

Prison ah nuh bed a roses

The livity it makes me ball

I wish that jah could come and take us back in time

Cause I swear

That I can be a better man

Yes I swear, if only you could understand

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

Behind these metal bars

To jah jah im chanting

Pray for your love divine

Im oh so sorry I am

Deeply I am hurting

The price ordained to be mine

Impossible to see the changes, that I've made in my life

All they see is just the boy, they left be behind

And I swear, That I can be a better man

Yes I swear, if only you could understand

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

The faith in me shall set me free reflection

Dont judge me wrong

Cause now i am stronger than I was before

I was young and unwise

Didn't you hear my cry

Impossible to see the change

That I've made in my life

All they see is just the boy i left behind

Cause i swear

I can be a better man

Cause I swear if only you could understand

I swear

I can be a better man

And I swear (if only you could understand), I swear

The faith in me shall set me free relection (reflection)

(repeat line until music fades)

I drop my pencil on the floor, she bends down and shows me more.

[Jah Lush]

It's just that social life

It's got you on the run

That goddamn social life

It's torture dressed as fun

It's just that social life

They got you chasing strings

That goddamn social life

and now you're seeing things

[snorky]

you've never had it so good - the favourite phrase of those who've always had it better

[Brendan]

He spent 15 years getting loaded

15 years ?til his liver exploded

What?s Bob gonna do now that he can?t drink

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I wanna be Bobbie's girl

[East Dulwich Angst]

I've got sunshine

On a cloudy day.

When it's cold outside,

I've got the month of May.

[Jah Lush]

Ooohhh-wheee, look at me

looking for some sympathy

It's the same old story -

- of a man and his search for glory

and he found it, there underneath the bottle

Things are never good, things go from bad to weird

hey gimme another scotch with my beer

I'm sad to say -

- I feel the same today as I always do

gimme a drink to relax me

Ooohhh-wheee, liquor set free

I can't do no work, the shake's inside me

Ahhh, shucks

I got the lousiest luck, I'm sick of this

underneath the bottle

Seven days make a week, on two of them I sleep

I can't remember what the heck I was doing

I got bruise on my leg -

- from I can't remember when

I fell down some stairs, I was lyin' underneath the bottle

Ooohhh0wheee, son of a B.

you get so down, you can't get any lower

So long world, you play too rough

and it's getting me all mixed up

I lost my pride and it's hiddin' there underneath the bottle

[mightyroar]

you cut me open and boy i just keep bleeding love

[PeckhamRose]

"Some people are willing to wipe their feet on anything with WELCOME written on it."

"Harm no-one - unless they ask you."

Ooh wee chirpy chirpy cheep cheep

Chirpy chirpy cheep cheep chirp

[mightyroar]

birds they fly so high and they are beautiful but sometimes they shit on your head

[Incitatus]

Well, I woke up Sunday morning

With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt.

And the beer I had for breakfast wasn't bad,

So I had one more for dessert.

[mightyroar]

Six o'clock already

I was just in the middle of a dream

I was kissin' Valentino

By a crystal blue Italian stream

But I can't be late

'Cause then I guess I just won't get paid

These are the days

When you wish your bed was already made

It's just another manic Monday

[Ladygooner]

Sean - think you are on the wrong thread here!

[atila the gooner]

To find a job, is like the haystack needle,

cos where he lives, they don't use coloured people

[mockney piers]

I used to think my dad was Elvis, but I haven't told him that yet. I haven't told my dad either.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Sean - think you are on the wrong thread here!

What do you mean Ladygooner - that was a classic song!

[atila the gooner]

When you tell him he's living fast

he will say what do you know

if you had my kind of cash

you'd have more than one place to go

[Jah Lush]

Awopbopaloobopalopbamboom!
