You Love I Lyrics
You Love I
The war is over
Gone is the soldier
That try to take land from I
From top of Spring Hill
Below is all still
Birds and the bees they fly
I thank you Haile
Your love is as mighty
As a lion you showed to I
You a million miles away
Still I sing you every day
Even though you not with I
For you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I
You love I
I sat in the yard
I watched the guard
That dress better than I
I ask who is free
As he looks for the key
That will help unlock I
Mercy and love
Shines down from above
Into the face of I
I know in my heart
Though we be apart
You will not abandon I
For you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I
You love I
And her rock star lover
Hiding under the covers
Pointing his finger at I
He sow his seeds
Digging the weeds
He think he better than I
Those times they gone
We could not hold on
Now we don’t see eye to eye
I must move on
I must be gone
It’s a long road before I
I must move on
I must be gone
It’s a long road before I
I know you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I
I know you love I
I know you love I
You love I
You love I

These Moon Dog Blues Lyrics
You never treat me right
Even though I treat you kind
You never do treat me right
I tried my best to be kind
All you seem to wanna do – is tangle up my mind!
You call me a ‘moon-dog’
When it’s you that’s done me wrong
You call me ‘an old moon-dog’
When you gone and done me wrong
Coz you leave me howling at – the moon each time you’re gone!
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl x 4
Howling at the moon
These moon dog blues
You never walk the dog
You say it’s my job to do
You don’t like to walk the dog
You say that’s for me to do
You know that sometimes I need – a little help from you!
This dog he needs some love
For it’s what we all need right
Give this dog some of your love
I know you can make it right
Please don’t be rough with him – don’t pull his chain too tight!
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Come over here mama
Come take this dog for a walk
You come here pretty mama
Take this dog for a good walk
They’ll be no howling – no I won’t even talk!
You never take me to eat
At places where there’s a crowd
No we never go and eat
And sit where there is a crowd
When I complain you just say
“Sign says ‘No Dogs Allowed’!!
You say when we make love
That I only know one way
You say when we’re making love
That I know no other way
I don’t wanna face it no – you’re lucky you I don’t make you pay
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl
Howl
I’m howling at the moon
Howl
Howl
Howl

Bob Marley lyrics
Close your eyes and you see Bob Marley
Riding through Holy Ethiopia on his Harley
Heading up to Haile up above
Preaching Rastafarian love
Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love
Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love
Bob Marley, Bob Marley
Born in Jamaica in 1945
All his life he struggled to survive
Born on his grandfather’s Jamaican farm where
He taught Bob about his Jewish roots there
Oh Aquarian brother of the soul
So many loved you more than you could know
You preached peace you preached love
In harmony with the One above
They tried to stop you from telling what’s true
They broke in your house and they shot you
2 days later you went back on stage
All their hate couldn’t keep you in their cage
You then went in exile to London town
To get away from the howling blood hounds
You were very ill you were told
But their treatment went against your religious code
Bob Marley, Bob Marley
You went to a clinic in a Bavarian town
You looked for a cure but none could be found
But it was too late to save you ‘Tuff Gong’
Bob Marley passed away in 81
His final words to his son and wife
Were ‘Money can’t buy you life’
No ‘Money can’t buy you life’
Oh Aquarian brother of the soul
So many loved you more than you could know
You preached peace and you preached love
In harmony with the One above
Bob Marley, Bob Marley
Can you see Bob Marley
Riding through Holy Ethiopia on his Harley
Heading up to Haile up above
Preaching Rastafarian love
Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love, Rastafarian love

Voodoo Woman lyrics
Voodoo woman
Chicken bones in your hand
Will they show if I’m a good or bad man
The future of you and I is in your hands
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
We were once true sweethearts
But when you told me it’s time to part
You took your doll and stuck pins in my heart
Full of hate not like cupid’s darts
Is that blood or red paint
She calls to the spirits of dead saints
She calls for the zombies magic dance
As she falls to the ground in a shaking trance
Voodoo woman
Lord, Voodoo woman
Call for a priest call for the Pope
Gotta tie her to the bed with strong rope
To stop her levitating with satanism
Priest come quick and carry out the exorcism
Don’t forget your cross and bible too
She also practices ancient Hoodoo
Cast your spell and drive the demons out
Beware coz she will curse, swear and shout
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Will you ever let me be
Please I beg you to forget me
Take out the pins and set me free
Take out the pins and set me free
Set me free, set me free
Will you ever let me be
Please I beg you to forget me
Will you ever let me be
Please I beg you to forget me
Take out the pins and set me free
Take out the pins and set me free
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
My Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Voodoo woman
Voodoo woman
Voodoo woman
Chicken bones in your hand
Will they show if I’m a good or bad man
The future of you and I is in your hands
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Voodoo woman
Holding your voodoo doll
Smelling of ganja and alcohol
Voodoo woman
Voodoo woman
Voodoo woman
Voodoo woman
Hey Voodoo woman
Hey Voodoo woman
Hey Voodoo woman

Deportation

Deportation lyrics
4,000 miles on the banana boat my dad he came
To work on London’s buses and trains
From his sunny home in the Caribbean
To cold grey wet lands of the European
All of his bosses they were white
He had no equal employment rights
He’d often work 14 hours a day
He never got promoted nor got praise
He did the jobs the whites wouldn’t do
The harder he worked the more their discrimination grew
They housed him in a dirty slum
Paid for by half of his income
Enoch Powell wanted a Ministry of Repatriation
Maggie Thatcher said ‘We live in an Alien Nation’
Racial discrimination from governmental organizations
What they wanted was deportation
Deportation, deportation
He never complained, he never cursed
His wife was an NHS nurse
She wasn’t white nor a Christian
She was a hard working black woman
But was selected too for deportation
Deportation, deportation, deportation, deportation
Was selected for deportation
They helped build London Transport and the N.H.S.
They were deported with the rest
No one helped them fight their deportation
Never received compensation
Deportation, deportation, deportation
They never received compensation
They never received compensation, no
After 30 years they kicked them out
They didn’t understand what it was all about
Government said ‘You got no right to appeal’
It wasn’t a bad dream it was real
Deportation, deportation, deportation, deportation
Now they sit on their porch in Spanish Town
Watching the Caribbean sun go down
Still believe when told it was a new regulation
That’s why they were the subject of deportation
They were the subject of racial discrimination
Practiced by a sovereign nation
Used and abused then thrown away
Has anything changed, who can say, who can say?
Deportation, deportation, deportation, deportation
Deportation, deportation, deportation, deportation
Deportation

England, Once My England Lyrics
I was born here, but won’t die here
That’s for sure
I had to leave and get away
I couldn’t take no more
Discrimination
Runs through the heart of the nation
Where class and snobbery rules
And the poor are treated like fools
The Police are no where to be seen
Sitting in an office watching computer screens
Citizens are robbed, raped or killed
Chances are slim of getting caught by ‘The Old Bill’
In that green and once pleasant land
England, once my England
What it’s become is hard to understand
So hard to understand
Alcoholism
Runs through the nation like sexism
‘Drink to be sociable’ they say
But they’re so cold anyway
The rich bankers they rule the land
They’ve got the politicians in the palms of their hands
They’ll house you in the ghetto’s, you’ve got no choice
If you ain’t got money, you ain’t got a chance
In that green and once pleasant land
England, once my England
What it’s become is hard to understand
So hard to understand
Pedophilia
Rampant in towns, country and suburbia
Abuse in every walk of life
From Lands End to Fife
In corridors of secret handshakes
Learnt at Eton and Harrow and such places
You’re accepted-in if you’re one of them
If not, then to them you’re just phlegm
You’re just phlegm
In that green and once pleasant land
England, once my England
What it’s become is hard to understand
So hard to understand

Evalynn lyrics
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
Why you be so full of sin
Why you always bring me down
And you call me your stupid clown
I take you up to heaven
You take me down to hell
Evalynn, oh Evalynn
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
What’s that place you are in
Is there a heart inside there
Coz you never seem to care
If I happy or I sad
If I down you just say ‘Too bad’
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
You look almost white and so thin
You never care how you look
Say you never read a book
You climbed up to the top
But never know when to stop
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
With that skull and crossbones ring
Listening to that gangsta rap
And to that satinic music crap
You be a friend of the devil
You do his work
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
I take you up to heaven
You take me down to hell
Evalynn, oh Evalynn, oh Evalynn
Cursing those who do good
You’re called the witch of the neighbourhood
I take you up to heaven
You take me down to hell
Evalynn, oh Evalynn, oh Evalynn
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
Why you be so full of sin
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
Why you be so full of sin
Evalynn, Oh Evalynn
Why you be so full of sin

London Town Bringing Me Down Lyrics
London Town is bringing me down
I can’t take much more of this town
The sky is grey and full of rain
I can’t breathe in this crowded train
Surrounded by strangers wherever I go
None of them I will ever know
Even my house is not my home
I have never felt so alone
Through the grey clouds I can see the rising sun
Shining for me, calling me on
Must cut the roots of the tree
Must get away, must break free
I just can’t go on like this
I don’t think there’s anything that I’ll miss
London Town where I was born
On one cold grey winter’s morn
How you’ve changed before my eyes
I think my love for you has died
I must leave you now I must go
Far from this cold land of rain and snow
To a place of sun and golden sand
To the ancient Promised Land
Through the grey clouds I see the rising sun
Shining for me, calling me on
Must cut the roots of the tree
Must get away, must break free
I just can’t go on like this
I don’t think there’s anything that I’ll miss
I’ll start afresh I’ll start anew
I’ll live a life meaningful and true
I’ll Pick roses in the snow
By the fallen walls of Jericho
This is where it all began
With just a woman and a man
I’ll start my life all over again
I’ll be far away from the hurt and pain
Through the grey clouds I see the rising sun
Shining for me, calling me on
Through the grey clouds I see the rising sun
Shining for me, calling me on

Eye For An Eye lyrics
An eye for an eye
I and I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye and eye for an eye, eye for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, eye for an eye, eye for an eye for an eye
An eye for an eye
On the island the children they played
It was a sunny day, a sunny day
The people thought it was a safe zone
But from that island 69 children never came home
Killed by a vile monster in a shirt and tie
They deserved to live they didn’t deserve to die
He was a monster devoid of any emotion
He’d already killed 8 more in a car explosion
A monster
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, eye for an eye for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, for an eye, for an eye for an eye
An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye
Said he believed in Nationalism
Was against his country’s Liberalism
He wanted to change it all with a gun
He is yet another of Satan’s many sons
Yet another of Satan’s many sons
He stood in court like an actor on stage
Protected by a bullet proof glass cage
His lack of respect and arrogance was plain to see
He did not feel anything for the children’s families, no, no
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, for an eye, for an eye, for an eye
22 years is all he got
For what he did he deserved to rot
3 and a half months for each of the 77 lives he took
He will make millions when he writes a book
He lives in a hotel behind bars
To a few sickos he’s their shining star
He doesn’t care he snuffed out all those children’s lights
All he moans about are the breaches of his Human Rights!
I don’t say his name, he’s just the killer of 77, Lord
May he burn in hell, he won’t go to heaven
I, I, I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I
Eye for an eye, eye for an eye, eye for an eye
I and I say the Bible don’t lie
Say I

I’m Not There Lyrics
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
I’m not there
The obituary read:
“Killed by an overdose of press”
Not that the mother in law could care less
“Got what they deserved” is what they said she said
I’m glad I’m out of it and far away
I never did regret leaving
If you catch me sleeping in the shade of the day
Can you check if I’m still breathing?
But let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I’m not, I’m not there
Your complimentary words
Ring like Big Ben inside my brain
And although sometimes the truth is preferred
You can tell me one or two white lies again
I know I can do what I’ve done before
Everyone says I can’t come back
And although I still don’t have respect for the law
We were friends one time down the track
But let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I’m not, I’m not there
You can see by the lines that cross my face
Time has taken its toil
But I sure ain’t ready for the hole, or the fire,
I still got passion, I still got desire
And though I might be far away,
I’m still competing in the human race
The visionaries gone blind
There’s no-one to show you the way
They’ll help you believe in it if you pay
Clowns are in re-hab re-programming their minds
I guess there’s a price to pay to be free
This rolling stone’s gathered some moss
I’m just a shadow of the man I used to be
Don’t ask me why it’s just because
But let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I said let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
Let the world burn, what do I care?
I’m in another place, I’m not there
I’m not there, I’m not there
I’m not, I’m not there

Be Kind to Animals lyrics
In the Book of Genesis we’re told
God created woman for man to hold
He created animals to please our eyes
All things great or small that walks, crawls or flys
Haile and Buddha were vegetarians you know it’s true
Gandhi and Muhammad they were too
These wise men they all understood
That all life is blessed and is good
Be kind to all creatures great or small
Those that fly or walk or crawl
Like a snake, bird or kangaroo
They all feel and love like we do
For they all feel and love like we do
All those blood clot hunters with their big guns
Each with small ‘puppies’ every one
Showing they’re men by killing for fun
Burn in hell ‘more fyah’ every one
Never hurt an animal
Show them you’re kind
Animals are loveable
Give them all your love and time
Give them all your love and time
When you walk on the street
Look ahead in front of your feet
Don’t tread on anything alive
For all creatures want to survive
No matter how big, small, fat or thin
Every animal has feelings within
Every animal has feelings within
Haile and Buddha were vegetarians you know it’s true
Gandhi and Muhammad they were too
These wise men all understood
That all life is blessed and is good
All life is blessed and is good
In the Book of Genesis we’re told
God created woman for man to hold
He created animals to please our eyes
All things great or small that walks, crawls or fly’s
Haile and Buddha were vegetarians you know it’s true
Gandhi and Muhammad they were too
These wise men all understood
That all life is blessed and is good
All life is blessed and is good
Inna di morrows, bless up, bless up, bless up
Inna di morrows, Inna di morrows, Inna di morrows
Inna di morrows, bless up, Inna di morrows

Little Child of Mine lyrics
Oh little child of mine
May these words I sing to you from my soul
Be more precious to you than is gold
May there always be love between us
May you forever know good health, love and happiness
Oh little child of mine
May God keep you safe and warm
Oh little child of mine
And protect you from the storm
Howling around our door
Rattling our windows and floors
May you forever be bathed in light
When there’s darkness all around
May you always know what’s right
When the truth cannot be found
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
You are the little child of mine, yes you are
You are the little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
May you always say what’s true
Even when people don’t want you to
And always help those in need
And not give in to man’s greed, no
May you always be friendly and kind
And to your enemies show love
May you seek and may you find
Compassion raining down from above
Child of mine
Oh Child of mine
Oh child of mine
Oh child of mine
You are the little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
Oh little child of mine
