1. _ Revolution 1993
(this is one of my favorites, listen to the drums, and both flute and trumpet solos)
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Yes you've got to stand up, stay strong, start moving in the right direction,
Don't wait too long, for people promising divine intervention
Nineteen nine three, now i'm taking matters into my own hands
So fast, i can't see
A revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
Well it's hard times, white lines,kids of nine getting down with gun crime
War zones, no homes, ain't it the time we gave the dog a bone
Say brothers, sisters, get up and put yourself in the picture
This time you know a revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I want to fight the power!
Question, answer, shake your hand and smile for the camera
But it's no good you should spend time in your neighbourhood
Where black kids, white kids
Now you're working overtime to be a crack kid
No job, no cash,
A revolution is the only way we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution,
Everubody wants a revolution
Now who is this man, i'm having trouble knowing where i'm coming from
Pre-conceptions, it's eternal human infection
One chance, learn how you're gonna change the habit of a lifetime my soul, concerned,
That revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
Higher, higher, now we're gonna learn how to fight the power
Sunshine, new day, i only know how to go to the right way
Faster, stronger i help my brother and my soul lives longer
Blinded i can't see
A revolution is the only way that we can change, change, change
I wanna fight the power!
No doubt in time, everything is sweet sunshine but in the
Meantime, mankind is having trouble where to draw the line
We still don't, respect, and yet i thought we had intellect
Sometimes i think the music is the only hope we have for revolution
Still we don't seem to understand we need a revolution
Everybody needs a revolution!

2. _ Hooked Up
Written by jay kay and toby smith
I'm so glad i got you hooked up on my drug
Everybody dance to the music
Are you felling well now you caught this bug
Everybody dance to the music
Think last time i took an overdose
Come on dance to the music
Made me realise i came too close
I bet ya wished you'd danced to the music, music, music, music.
Death can seem to bear no relevance,
Bet you wished you dance to the music
What you want to do is kill yourself
Still don't dance to the music
I can look at you and hear you scream
Come on dance to the music
And you tell me that your needles clean
Come on dance dance........
Come on now dance to the music
I need it. need it. need it. (repeat)
Don't you get hooked up
Cos music is the drug
Don't you get hooked up
(repeat)

3. _ When You Gonna Learn
Didgeridoo version written by jay kay
Have you heard the news today?
People right across the world are pledging they will play the game
Victims of a modern world, circumstance has brought us here,
Armaggedon's come too near, too too near yeah
Now foresight is the key to save our children's destiny
The consequences are so grave the hipocrites we are their slaves
So my friend to stop the end on each other we depend,
Mountain high and river deep, stop it going on,
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
People, stop it going on
Have you heard the news today?
Money's on the menu in my favorite restaurant,
Now don't talk about quantity, cos there's no fish left in the sea.
Greedy men been killing all the life there ever was,
So you better play it nature's way or she will take it all away,
And don't try tell me you know more than her about right or wrong,
Now you've upset the balance man, done the only thing you can,
Now my life is in your hands
Mountain high and river deep, stop it going on,
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
Oh people, stop it going on
Ahahahaha, hehehehehe...
Mountain high and river deep, stop it going on,
We gotta wake this world up from its sleep,
People, stop it going on
Greedy men will fade away, oh they will fade away when we stop it going on,
I know it's got to be that way, oh people stop it going on!
I'm asking, when you gonna learn to stop it going on?
When you gonna learn to stop it going on?

4. _ Whatever It Is, I Just Can't Stop
Written by jay kay and toby smith
If i pick it up i can put it down,
Whatever it is i just can't stop,
For only 20 seconds at a time it's all mine.
I got, too much, pressure,
Got me under it's thumb
And it's no fun, you can lose
Now i got a choice but i can't choose
Insistent as you are, is no guarantee that you'll go far
Rock steady if you can
But i've never been a steady man,
People, wanna shoot you down,
If you can't swim then you will drown
In sorrow, can't get any medical attention till tomorow,
Sadlands, are where i live,
But that's none of your business,
You keep asking, and soon enough
The kids gonna have to get rough,
Maybe i'm a speed king
Push with the foot and i'm smiling,
I can glide on the love inside,
And there was you thinking that my hands were tied
All along i saw you hoping
I would slip and i'm not joking
The evidence in these events
Is still your lack of commonsense
Did you really think that i would sink
Because i like another drink
Have to get up to get down
The remedy is the sound
Absurdity of your suggestion, leaves me asking just one question,
If you're my friend today?
Why do you wanna hear me say?
If i pick it up, can i put it down?
Whatever it is, i just can't stop. (repeat)

5. _ Blow Your Mind
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Love ya
I need ya
I think i wanna squeeze ya
Nightly so tightly, girl you know you really blow my mind
Say it again,
Just one more time,
I've got to know,
How you came to blow my mind
Closer,
Pleasure, passion
Tonites the night i'm looking for your action
I want to hold you,
Don't you know this time you blow my mind
Say it again,
Just one more time,
I've got to know,
How you came to blow my mind
Closer,
Fever, hot now,
Help me wipe the sweet away from my brow,
Sexy oh lady,
Don't you know this time you blow my mind
Say it again,
Just one more time,
I've got to know,
How you came to blow my mind
Closer,
Oh don't you know yeah,
Don't you know by now that now you blow my mind
Oh yes you do. oh yes you do,
Oh yes you blow my mind...

6. _ Too Young To Die
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Everybody, don't want no war, cos we're all too young to die
Many people, all around the world now, seen their brothers fry?
What's the motive?
In your madness you've made my people cry
So politicians, this time keep your distance
Cos we're too young to die
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die.
What's the answer? to our problems.
I think we've gone to high,
Little children never said a word now, but still they have to die
It won't be long, dancing like we do now,
To put this sad world right
So you don't worry, suffer no more,
Cos we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die.
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die,
You know we're too young to die.
All gone when they drop the bomb.
Can politicians reassure? cos here i am pressuming that nobody here wants a war.
There's so many people praying just to find out if they're staying.
But lately, stately governments and disillusioned leader,
So full of empty promises but rarely do they feed us,
Put our backs against the wall, or don't we count at all.
Can you decide, are you mesmerised.
Do you know which side you're standing?
Cos when it falls gonna take us all.
Gotta know what we're demanding, i never lie, can't hear you cry,
Coming from on high,
We're too young to die!

7. _ If I Like It I Do It
Written by jay kay and nick van gelder
Say that we have all the time we need to make it right
Don't hurry for nobody if it ain't the thing you like
Know your place and fit your space, young man you will conform
I didn't hear my soul express those rules when i was born
Cause i'm free to roam cause it's my home
You can't stop sweet inclination
The kids want the system braking down
Not higher education
If it ain't no natural law
Then you can keep your regulations
Cause if i like it i do it!
But i keep on movin' though they wanna bring me down
I've gotta run for the cover, and keep on smiling
Though they wanna tie me down and give me death for the lover,
And i keep on losing though i'm proving what i'm doing
I'm still grooving, and if i like it i do it!
You've got to help those people break that legislation,
We can overcome this suffocation,
Execute your natural liberation,
Happy to enjoy rejuvenation
All around hear the sound
No one can stop us now,
A thousand rules for plastic fools!
Now they can take a bow,
Surely there's been time to see it doesn't work by now,
So if i like it, i do it!
Still i, keep on finding that they're pushing those distorted visions,
And i keep on living but i'm dying cause of their decisions,
If i keep on looking i can find a higher space
I'm still grooving and if i like it, i do it!

8. _ Emergency On Planet Earth
Written by jay kay and toby smith
The kids need education
And the streets are never clean
I've seen a certain disposition, prevailing in the wind,
Sweet change if anybody's listening?
Emergency on planet earth
Is that life that i am witnessing
Or just another wasted birth
We got emergency
Emergency on planet earth
Think we're standing for injustice
White gets two and black gets five years,
Took me quite a while to suss this,
But now i know my head is cleared
And a little boy in hungry land, is just a picture in the news,
Change shoes
Won't see him in the tv advertising,
Cause it might put you off your food
We got emergency
Emergency on planet earth

10. _ Music Of The Mind (instrumental)
This is a good tune! oh yes you can bet it! it's a very good song, it has some delightful percussions and some trumpets from heaven (even if it sounds some sort of apocaliptic). you can note a r
Able influence of bossa nova rythms... this is one of those songs you can listen to for half an hour and don't get tired...
