1. _ Scam
Written by jay kay, stuart zender and toby smith
You say you fight to give us freedom
But often more than not this is abused
And the faces of a tired generation
Have decided they are sick of being used
For the purpose of current declarations
Still the same, it will never change until the end
Is to buy the appreciation of the nation
To cover the mistakes you must defend
And you say there will be a chance for eveyone
To protest against your calculated greed
But i can see into the future
Won't be long before the welfare
Send me letters telling me how much they need
And it's not been in my interest to please them
For the only interest rate to fall is mine
See a brand new generation is demanding
What you've been doing with our money all this time
Scam, people try to live at the speed of light
Scam, don't know why but i've got to do the things i do
Scam, give me ten, that's the move i give you five
Scam, people say it's the way to stay alive
So you see you have to be a schemer
If you wanna love the life you have to live
And i don't matter how much i earn
Cos i always get my fingers burned
When the man gets down to his business
And i've been searching for a reason
Why i have to give it all up just i want to get ahead
See i had to lose car, job, wife, dog and home
Debts and threats on the phone
Maybe i should bust a move instead
Now we all know when we watch television
Not confused between a puppet or conviction
Glued to the screen by a thousand shallow words of wisdom
It ain't what it seems when it's a single sided system
Someone's got to hold on my living
So i'm gonna have to do the thing that's fair
They got to justify for what i should be giving
Should i lie, should i steal or should i care
Cos now i've got to scam!

2. _ The Kids
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Now we're getting nasty
Everybody is talking about the kids
The kids have funky soul and groove emotion
But if you don't give the kids the chance to use it
They're always more than likely to abuse it
Kids get down, stormy weather, fifteen years of royal pleasure.
Everybody's talking about the kids
And it's taking time for you to realise
Now hunger turns to anger in your eyes
I say the revolution will be televised, yes it will gil...
Everybody's talking about the kids
Kids get down, stormy weather, fifteen years of royal pleasure.
Kids get down underground, evrybody dance to the funky sound.
Everybody's talking about the kids
The kids need space to get their heads in place
And every day this world we have to face
Well i just can't seem to find my proper place
Kids get down, celebrate, now we're gonna kick the thing we hate
Everybody's talking about the kids
It won't be long before we get our own
And every kid can truly feel at home
I told ya you should give the dog a bone.
Kids get down, pressurized, to live the life that you devised
Kids get down, celebrate, life is to short to complicate
Everybody's talking about school
But i get more pleasure breaking all the rules
Cos lesson one begins with "life is cruel"
Well i guess i'm just an educated fool
Everybody's talking about the kids
Mom and dad make efforts to excuse it
Government officials will confuse it
Members of the bench will try to prove it
You're going down sucker!
Everybody's talking about the kids now
Everybody's talking about the kids now
The kids got funky soul
Everybody's talking about high
But kids get high to satisfy
For reaching out to touch the sky
Is all i can identify, and you know why...
Kids get down, stormy weather, fifteen years of royal pleasure
Kids get down celebrate, now we're gonna kick the thing we hate.

3. _ Mr. Moon
Written by jay kay, toby smith and stuart zender
Whooo wo wo now
Have you gone astray or lost your way?
You should have seen me yesterday,
Well i knew this kind of love was written in the stars
It's only once or twice that you're inline with mr.moon
Then it was you...
You took me on your cloud
Give me flowers for my pain
But with some degree my destiny seemed to slip away from me
Before i got to now your name...
Just give me a chance
I'll do what you want me to
Everybody wants to dance, so how come i can't dance with you
You really turn me on
You're the one that makes me smile...
It's mr moon who plays in tune,
Mr moon who knows
And if it's mr. moon who gives the sign then that's the sign that goes on
I never know what to do till i'm there with you....
Eh....all right on....
Did you lose your mind or for a day?
You don't remember anyway...
Like the waters of a dream encapsulate my mind
A place i haven't seen sits a the end of space and time
So lost in love...
Than i think i'm blind...
To purchanse upon this circumstance,
It's something of a miracle so spiritual it's verging on the physical...
Searching for a love i cannot find...
Oh, now i'm lost in your love...
Now i'm lost, and i don't know when to turn,
Now i'm lost in your, now i'm lost in your love...
Parira parira...parira parira...
(just play my tune, oh mr. moon)
Just play my tune, just play my tune
Just play my tune, just play my tune
Just play my tune, just play my tune
Ooooh la la, la lara lo la la, lalala...
Just give me a chance
I'll do what you want me to
Everybody wants to dance, so how come i can't dance with you
You really turn me on
You're the one that makes me smile...yeah......oh!
It's mr moon who plays in tune,
Mr moon who knows
And if it's mr. moon who gives the sign then that's the sign that goes on
I never know what to do till i'm there with you....
Eh, eh....oh now....
Oh mr. moon play that tune for me...
Oh mr. moon just play tune for me...
Why don't you play that tune that i can't get down, that i can't get down with this girl...
(oooooh.....)
Oh, that girl, you know she really, blows my, head apart,
And the sky and the stars, all, synkronized...
Eh no.... no no no, now me and her,
We are love...
We have synkronized...i know...
This is love...
This is love...
Oh now girl....you know... and the stars and moon have synkronized their love...
Ooooh, ooooh
Oh, come girl!
I wanna tell you how i love you since we came together yeah! oh yeah yeah yeah!
Oooh.... i wanna tell you how i love you since we came together...
Hey just play my tune, just play my tune, just play my tune...
Hey, hey now girl you know that our love is synkronized...
I got to tell you, whooo i got to tell you....

5. _ Half The Man
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Yesterday i was half the man i used to be
Maybe that's because you're the other half of me
Like the spring in bloom
The summer of our love is soon
Every bird will sing
The melody of our love tune
Sent down from above
Unconditionally love
Likened to a flower
Stronger love grows by the hour
Stormy weather days
Make us go our separate ways
Where our love was so at ease
Now you got me down on my knees
Yesterday i was
Brighter than the morning sun
Now my love is lost
And lonely days have just begun
A solitary chair
For a silent love affair
A king has lost his throne
And now he sits alone

6. _ Light Years
Written by jay kay and toby smith
You can be light years
Away fom a serious intention
See i thought i'd change it all
Someday
I'd get to turn mankind this day
If you don't know you can be light years
Away from your true destination
Until i get with good vibration
I'm never gonna get to use this earthly power
But i'm gonna jump back
Stand back and use that earthly power
Now i got that sunshine in my life
Light years half a million miles from what you wanna be
Did you ever hear about the man who tried to be
Truly free truly free
You know what i mean
Light years will stand between the laws of principle
And now we think we are invincible
But without true power it's unthinkable
Light years away from the colour of our brotherhood
Light years away from our duty to assistance

7. _ Morning Glory
Written by jay kay and stuart zender
All of my visions were untrue
Till i had a vision of you
And untimely end for all
But it was only then, only then that i saw
Saw the morning glory.
Can't you take me there
Can't you take me there
Away from solloquies of sadness
And prophecies of pain for us all to see
I had a vision in my mind
I had a vision of peace
I had a vision of you

8. _ Manifest Destiny
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Four hundred years or more
Since you came to crucify
They were taken far away from home
There were promises of paradise
But if they had been told that day
They would be told that this way
To satisfy the souls of chosen man
See i had to look carefully
At the shame of my ancestry
To redefine the storyline again
If i was taken for a day
And shown another day
Every child can learn a different thing
See i tried a million times
But i had to change my mind
Sadness was the best thing i could bring
On the inside he was dead and this is what he said
As he took away the blue above the clouds
Oh, superiority was clearly meant to be
So destiny will manifest in time
So where has all the love gone?
A troubled trail of tears will tell the tale
Of how i was put down where i don't belong
Woman, child and man for sale
For ethical slavery is just an absurdity
How can you be alive when you are dead
With these chains of hipocrisy
The shame of my ancestry
Forever strained in blood in which you tread
(repeat chorus)

9. _ Stillness In Time
Written by jay kay and toby smith
There's a stillness in time
Which i cannot define
Does your heart bleed like mine
For a place we can go
Where the troubles of our time are far away
And i had all my life in front of me
And my darkest days are trouble free
There are so many wondrous things for you to see
If you find that something is going wrong
Look around at what you're running from
You can wait a thousand years in line for that stillness in time
Oh yeah
I felt love in that way
And i'm never sad and i'm always glad
Anything you give me today
I will be thankful for
People find it hard to be strong
Cos they don |
10. _ Just Another Story
Written by jay kay and toby smith
Nobody make a move
This kid's got you covered
He was just seventeen
Trying to get on like his dead brother
Mama couldn't make anything for him
Though she hurt inside
And daddy wants his son back
While he knows he's still alive
Stick up kid
Thinking you're a glory boy
Fronting that stupid toy
But you don't get that it's yourself you will destroy
Like a speed king freak of amphetamine
Still running that rock on the frontline
Get up tight when it's your turn
A bullet in the head is a leason learned
One of this days you're gonna say goodbye
Tellin' everyone you've never been so high
Born the same time that you die
Pushin' that draw like you're superfly
Heaven help all with no way out
That's what this is all about
This is not another trilogy
It's just another story
All your broken glories

11. _ The Return Of The Space Cowboy
Written by jay kay
Everything is good
And brown
I'm here again
With a sunshine smile upon my face
My friends are close at hand
And all my inhibitions have desappeared without a trace
I'm glad
I found
Somebody i can rely on
This is the return of the space cowboy
Inter-planetary
Good vibe zone
At the speed of cheebah
We'll go deeper
Maybe i'm gonna have to get high just to get by
Everything is good
And green
Oh, i'm red again
And i don't suppose i'm coming down
I can see clearly now
High in the sky
A man with psychedelic picture frames
Of happiness to shade
His eyes
He's glad
That he found
Somebody he can rely on
High in the sky
A man with psychedelic picture frames
Of happiness to shade
His eyes
He's glad
That he found somebody who
He can rely on
