So Here I Am
Seven 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.
(chorus)
So here I am sitting at the bus stop
Wishing I was somewhere else
Where I didn't have to work my rocks off
Wishing I could please myself.
Ten hours a day i'm grafting
Under the bosses eye,
Earn just enough to keep going,
Making cars i'll never buy.
(chorus)
So here I am sitting ...........
Five days a week i'm giving,
My time is clocking on.
Just two days left for living,
Wondering where my life has gone.

The Key
Trenchtown jamaica
Gave the wailers their soun'
Like a steppin' razor
The brother tosh 'im come aroun'
Yellow man and eek-a-mouse
Dem a trod 'pon newer groun'
While scratch and the scientist
Dem jus' keep on mixin' down.
The mighty general and eastwood
Draw me out of my seat
The lone ranger ride in
To rock me' pon me feet
The dreaded flabba holt and style scott
Start fe put down a radical beat
Wid mistra isaacs
Puttin' melodies so sweet.
(ad lib.......)
Refrain:
Reggae music is
The key to my heart

I'll Be On My Way
The sun is fading away
That's the end of the day
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way
Just one kiss & I'll go
Don't hide the tears that don't show
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way
To where the winds don't blow
And golden rivers flow
This way I will go
They were right, I was wrong
True love didn't last long
As the June light turns to moonlight
I'll be on my way
To where the winds don't blow
And golden rivers flow
This way I will go
They were right, I was wrong
True love didn't last long

The Train Is Coming
I said, the train is coming baby
I said, the train is comin now
I said, the train is coming baby
I said, the train is comin now
So long Ive been waiting
Waiting for you, oh yeah
Now the time has come
And its between me and you, oh lord
I said, the train is coming baby
The train is comin now, now, now, now
I said, the train is coming baby
And I am leaving on that train, lord
Everyday I pray
For this little hour
Now the time has come
And I want you to stand by me
Because the train is comin baby
And we are leaving on that train
And we will roam this land
Where we all will be free, lord

Nothing Without You
When I'm with you I'm valuable
Original and fashionable
I'm totally formidable
When I'm with you
When you're with me invincible
I'm bullet-proof unsinkable
A one off individual
That's why you're with me
When I caught you unmissable
So loveable and kissable
Completely irresistable
That's why I caught you
Without you I am miserable
Unconfortable in principle
I think that we're inseperable
I'm nothing without you
Now you got me reliable
Flexible and pliable
You see its undeniable
That's where you got me

A whole heap of wind-ups deh'pon the street
Thiefing, looting, lying, me seh dep'pon the street
A hustling, a hustling deh'pon the street

Don`t Slow Down
You 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;
That old grey man in tattered clothes
Following behind.
No time to stop, don't go to sleep,
Prepare to pay the cost.
The hours and minutes are passing by,
Another day is lost.
Impatience is a virtue,
Catch me if you can.
The seconds have been ticking by

Good Ambition
Ive spent eleven months and five days loving you
And all these times Ive spent forgiving you
I dont want to be hurt
I dont want to be hurt
I dont want to be hurt
Not any more
Im a man with a good ambition
And I will never let you drag me down
You better go home and leave me alone
Im a man with a good ambition
And I will never let you drag me down
So baby go home
And leave me alone
Ive got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you its a good, good, good ambition
Ive got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you its a good, good, good ambition
Ive got a good, good, good ambition
Tell you its a good, good, good ambition

Desert Sand
You tell me theres no darkness
While the sun shines down on you
And just because your life is peaceful
Theres no fighting left to do
For every cup that runneth over
Many more are filled with pain
You talk to me of sunshine
When its pouring down with rain
Just because you cant see it
Doesnt mean it isnt there
Just because it cant touch you
Doesnt mean you shouldnt care
For every life thats lit with love
Many more are racked with pain
You talk to me of sunshine
When its pouring down with rain
(chorus)
Its a long black night, good people
Descended on our land
Share your light

Your Eyes Were Open
Oh doctor help me please
I'm dying, crippled with disease
My body's aching limb to limb
My bones are glowing through my skin
When i look up into black skies
Mushrooms grow before my eyes
Doctor save me if you can
I'm a desperate man (repeat)
As he lay thinking he was dead
A burning pain short through his head
He looked into those tired old eyes
Heard forty years of anguished cries
And this doctor said
Your eyes were open
But you shut them with your mouth
You always heard
But you weren't doing the screaming
You'd only just woken
But already, you'd forgotten,
What you were dreaming
