54-46 Was My Number: Anthology 1964-2000 lyrics

Ah…

I want you to know that I am the man who
Fight for the right, not for the wrong
Going there, I'm growing there
Helping the weak against the strong

Soon you will find out the man I'm supposed to be

Help this man, don't trouble no man
But if you trouble that man it will bring a bam bam
What a bam bam
Bam bam
See that?
Bam bam
It will bring a bam bam
Can you see that?

Stick it up, mister!
Hear what I say, sir, yeah...
Get your hands in the air, sir!
And you will get no hurt, mister, no no no

I said yeah
What did I say?
Don't you hear? I said yeah (yeah yeah)
Listen to what I say (what I say)

Do you believe I would take something with me
And give it to the police man?
I wouldn't do that, now listen to me one more time
I wouldn't do that

I got a rich one (yeah)
Do you love me? (yeah)
Do you really want me? (yeah)
with all your heart (yeah)

I want to do the reggay (yeah)
With you (yeah)
Come onto me (Let's)
Do the dance (yeah)
Is this the new dance? (yeah)
Going around the town? (yeah)
We can move you baby (then)

Do the reggay (x2)
reggay reggay reggay
La la la la la laaaa

Alidina, go out and do the work
alright alright

Alidina, lazy lazy
Alidina, crazy crazy
Alidina, go on and do the work

Just the week before last week I saw you
standing out at the mother's (?)corner looking inside
and you alidina, want to do the work
alright alright

Just the day before yesterday I saw you
walking on the long train line, doing nothing

Hmm hmm hmm, yeah... [3x]

It is you (oh yeah)
It is you, you (oh yeah)
It is you (oh yeah)

Cause a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure
Oh yeah pressure drop a drop on you

I say when it drops, oh you gonna feel it
Know that you were doing wrong.

Hmm hmm hmm, yeah... [3x]
I say a pressure drop, oh pressure

Etty in the room a cry
Mama say she must wipe her eye
Papa say she no fi foolish
Like she never been to school at all
It is no wonder
It's a perfect pander
While they were dancing in that bar room last night.

Johnson in the room afret
Uncle say he must hold up him head
Aunty say she no fi foolish
Like a no time fi him wedding day
It is no wonder
It's a perfect pander

Ay ay ay, ay ay ay,
tell you baby,
you huggin' up the big monkey man (2x)

I've seen no sign of you,
I've only heard that you
huggin' up the big monkey man (2x)

Is not lie, is not lie,
them a tell me,
you huggin' up the big monkey man (2x)

Now I know that, now I understand,
you turnin' a monkey on me (2x)

(repeat)

Walk With Love, Talk With Love
You will all walk with love, woahhh
All my life (woo hooo hooo)
Ohh your life (woo hooo, woo hooo hoo)
Your life and my life will be much longer
if you really walk with love
I don't mind
I try to live my life
I saw another man try to take his life
I am never never..never weary yet
I will never walk alone

Everybody just
Cryin out (cry out)
Calm down (calm down)
Have your pomps and pride
Calm down (calm down) (x2) Have your pomps and pride
Everybody just
Cryin out (cry out)
Calm down (calm down)
Have your pomps and pride
Is it an opulin, Iceland, calm down
have your pomps and pride

For today, today, today is a happy day
for tonight tonight, can be another night

Everybody, give it to me huh
Hey Hey Hey
I want you to believe every word I say
I want you to believe every thing I do
I said music is what I've got to give
and I've got to find some way to make it
Music is what I've got baby
I want you to come on and shake it
shake it shake it baby
oh yeah hey
na na na...
oh yeah..na na na

Funky (x3)
Funky Kingston, is what I've got for you

Riddle me this, riddle me this
Riddle me, riddle me that
I bet you don't know just where I'm at

In the dark, you live your life
In the dark, you cheat and lie
In the dark, you want to fuss and fight
In the dark, you will get no life

Listen, people tell me love, love is true
People tell me love, what love can do
You keep on telling me love and then sleep

hey hey
now, everybody now
Let me hear you now

Sailin On (x2)
I can hear sweet vibes a singin'
and I can hear sweet music a playin'
Sailin On (x2)
I wish you were there with my while I'm sailin' on

Lingering on
I'm just lingering on
I can hear sweet vibes a singin'
and I can hear sweet music a playin'
la la la la la(x2)
I wish you were there with my while I'm sailin' on

I go to bed
But sleep won't come
get up in the night
I couldn't stand my feeling no
Early in the morning
Oh mercy
It's just the same situation
Deep in the landlord
Comes a knocking up on my door
He's a knocking up on my door
I've got $400/month rent to pay
and I can't find a dollar
let me, Let me tell you...

Time tough (time tough)
Everything is out of sight, so hard

Come on live a little
Broadway (x2)

One last stop in the jungle
leave for the first time
We died in the jungle
at the hands of a man
We're all in the jungle
Couldn't find a way
So Come on the jungle
Man to man
When we really don't know this jungle
which way to jump and dance
jump in the line
rock your body in time
everything is alright
we're going to Broadway
For the first time
