Crying's Easy

Caught up in no man's land
Don't know where you stand
Pretty lady, just where you are
Living in loneliness
Teardrops you can't resist
You look so weary and so sad
Yes I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

Chorus
I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Yours dreams are now yesterday
Your hopes so far away
Don't you worry I'll be yours
Just put your hand in mind
Stay with me awhile
I know it's not hard if you try
For I know what you've been through
All your life he's been hurting you

I'll share my life with you
I'll make your dream come true
I'll be your miracle, yes I would
He built your hopes up high
Then put you down to cry
He left you lonely, crying's easy

Say A Little Prayer (for the children) 1979

What is gonna happen in a little while from now
When our time has passed away and the world has turned around?
Children now I see,
Wandering by the streets
Hunger and poverty
Someone forget their destiny

But who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be around?
I hope their times won't be sad.

Chorus
Say a little prayer for the children
Say a little prayer for the young ones
Say a little prayer that they might grow to see the world more beautiful
Say a little prayer each night and day
Say it before you pass away
So their hearts will be filled with joy, love and harmony


They walk the streets at night
They learn to steal and how to fight
Their tender hearts are filled with war
No love they'll find behind prison's door
They've got to be aware
In their minds, there must be no fear
Go ahead you must be brave
Much more love to them you must give

But who's gonna be the one?
Who's gonna be around?
I hope their times won't be sad.

Say a little prayer for the children
Say a little prayer for the young ones
Say a little prayer that they might grow to see the world more beautiful
Say a little prayer each night and day
Say it before you pass away
So their hearts would be filled with joy, love and harmony

(spoken)
Say a little prayer ...
Put your hands together  ...
Get down on your knees ... you gotta do it

We got de vibe to lift it up and do what we want
Hold on de pace and keep it up

Congo Man

Whoday Whoday oh oh
Whoday Whoday oh oh

Spoken:
Dis is a story ladies and gentlemen about two lovely white women
Travelling all de way to Africa
Found themselves deep in the heart of the Baluba
In de congo
In de hands of my big brother Umba
and if ut was me ah woulda taken dem back to dey husband
But brother was hungry, hungry, hungry!

Sung:
Two white women travelling through Africa
Find themselves in de hands of a cannibal headhunter
He cook up one, he eat one raw
Dey taste so good he wanted more, more!
He want more!

Aye yi yay
I envy de Congo man
I wish it was me ah want to shake he hand
He eat until he stomach upset and I...
Never eat ah white meat yet


Whoday Whoday oh oh
Whoday Whoday oh oh
(Tribal sounds)

Peeping through the bushes to see what's taking place
There I saw de Congoman goin' to tek a little taste
He open he eye and he start to grin, rubbing he belly and he mumbling...


Aye yi yay
I envy de Congo man
I wish it was me ah want to shake he hand
He eat until he stomach upset what about you Rico?..never eat ah white meat yet
yuh lie!


Whoday Whoday oh oh
Whoday Whoday oh oh

Yabba dabba dabba do ya
Yabba dabba dabba do ya
(Tribal sounds)

Tie dem up and he put dem to lay down on de ground
Light de fire and he started dancing round and round
One of de women started to beg
He bit she on she chest and den he.. on she leg...
He eat she raw

Aye yi yay
I envy de Congo man
I wish it was me ah want to shake he hand
He eat until he stomach upset, what about you?(never eat ah white meat yet)

The Hammer (1986)

Somewhere up in Laventille
Many years ago
Ah man had a hammer used to follow him to and fro
He used to use it to pong a pan
Or sometimes a stupid man
All in de Savannah
Never miss Panorama
One day de ole hammer jus' disappear
Some say that it vanished in de thin air

Ah way de man with de hammer gone?
(Tell me, tell me where he gone?)
Anybody know whey de hammer gone?
(Tell me, tell me where he gone?)
Can you tell me what's goin on?
(Tell me, tell me where he gone?)
I want to know whey de hammer gone

Why you up and leave? (Dread!)
Why you make me grieve? (Dread!)
Hammer tell mih flat (Dread!)
Why you do me dat? (Dread!)
Oh lord
Well de dragon doh walk de trail no more
Well de dragon doh walk de trail no more

From April of 85 hammer went to sleep
After years of makin' noise, not even a peep
He used to move with de dragon man
All through dis soca land
Always on de scene
They used control de ...
Well de dragon doh walk de trail no more
Who holdin' de hammer ah want to know?

Ah way de man with de hammer gone?
(Tell me, tell me where he gone?)
Thunderbolt William what goin' on?
Dis t'ing like a police boots on mih corn
And now ah hear it by YDeLima on pawn
Children, search under yuh bed (Dread!)
All on top yuh head (Dread!)
Look behind de door (Dread!)
What yuh waitin' for? (Dread!)
Oh Lord!
Well de dragon doh walk de trail no more (no more)
Well de dragon doh walk de trail no more

On a silver chariot ridin' to the sun
Leaving fire in its wake, spirits on de run
As we gather round dat day
Ah hear Sista Sheila say
How last night she see ah sign
See de Hammer and it doin' fine
Same time thunder roll, she bawl out "yuh see"
He done start to tune a pan ahready

Ah way de man wit' de hammer gone?
Sister Sheila what goin' on?
Dis hammer gi'ing me ah heavy horn
Dis ting like a police boots on mih corn
Search all through de town (Dread!)
Turn it upside down (Dread!)
Check on top de hill (Dread!)
Under windowsill (Dread!)
Oh Lord
Well de dragon doh walk de trail no more
Well dragon doh walk de trail no more
Well dragon doh walk de trail no more

Ah say he doh walk de trail
He doh walk de trail
He doh walk de trail
He doh walk de trail

Well dragon doh walk de trail no more
Well dragon doh walk de trail no more

He doh walk de trail
He doh walk de trail
He doh walk de trail

Well dragon doh walk de trail no more
Well dragon doh walk de trail no more
Charlo....!

One More Time (2007)

All she say she wanted, was one wine from me
All she said she needed, was a little bit of my time
She never expected to get so addicted to my wine
She said,
"Are you gonna hurt me? Am I a statistic?
A victim of your circumstances,
Or will I just evicted from this loving safety,
Please don't disappoint me
Not this time

Chorus:
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One more time (one more time)
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One last time (one last time)
Ah said, oh oh oh oh-oy, oh oh oh oh
Ah said, oh oh oh oh-oy, oh oh oh oh
Ah said, oh oh oh oh oh oh-oy, oh oh oh oh
One more time, this wine

All she requested was one wine from me
All that she insisted was to have a really really good time
But it never manifested the way that she projected in her mind
She said,
Are you gonna forget me, is your life so hectic
Tell me you're not leaving, cause I can't do without it
Please don't disappoint me, oh I'm begging you baby
Not this time

Chorus:
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One more time (one more time)
One last wine (one more wine)
One more time oh ah yai yai

(Bridge)
Just 'cause she bumber phat (She gotta get a wine on dat)
She pushin', but ah holding back (She gotta get a wine on dat)
She look good it's a natural fac', yeah (She gotta get a wine on dat)
She winin' like she on de attack (She gotta get a wine on dat)
(Can I get it like dat) Yes you could get it like dat
(Can I get it like dat) Yes you could get it like dat
(Can I get it like dat) Yes you could get it like dat
(Can I get it like dat) Yes you could get it like dat

Said, she in love with me from the very first time
Dat to come behind her and give her dat sweet wine
Every day she calling me for more
Said she want it on de bed an' de floor

Chorus:
She say
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One more time (one more time)
Gimme one more wine (one more wine)
One last time (one last time) oh-oh

(bridge)
Just cause she bumper phat (She gotta get a wine on dat)
She pushin', but I holding back (She gotta get a wine on dat)
She look good it's a natural fact, yeah (She gotta get a wine on dat)
She winin' like she on de attack (She gotta get a wine on dat)

One more (one more time)
One more yeah (one last time)
Do you know you know mo-more
Yeah yeah
One more time...
Oh oh...
