| The Who – I'm One Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Its partly about Pete Townsend and his beginnings as a Mod. Of course, it translates to Jimmy. "Where did you get those blue blue jeans" refers to Levi's 501's, a must-have for the casual mod look. So yep. Mods. Ill-fitting clothes, and I blend in the crowd. |

| Jimmy Cliff – Johnny Too Bad Lyrics | 15 years ago |

This song is by The Slickers. Its about a rudy, a jamaican toughguy. It says "rachety in your waist" not blade. A ratchet is a popular jamaican slang for a knife. matter of fact, all these lyrics are wrong. Heres the right ones. Walking down the road With your pistol in your waist, Johnny you're too bad. Walking down the road With your ratchet in your waist, Johnny you're too bad. You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting Now you're too bad. You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting Now you're too bad. One of these days when you hear a voice say come Where you gonna run to One of these days when you hear a voice say come Where you gonna run to You're gonna run to the rock for rescue There will be no rock You're gonna run to the rock for rescue There will be no rock {organ solo} Walking down the road With your pistol in your waist, Johnny you're too bad. Walking down the road With your ratchet in your waist, Johnny you're too bad. You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting Now you're too bad. You're just robbing and you're stabbing and you're looting and you're shooting Now you're too bad. One of these days when you hear a voice say come Where you gonna run to One of these days when you hear a voice say come Where you gonna run to You're gonna run to the rock for rescue There will be no rock You're gonna run to the rock for rescue There will be no rock... |

| Desmond Dekker – Carry Go Bring Come Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Actually, this sone is by Justin Hinds and the Dominoes, and its called "Carry Go Bring Home" Hinds' lyrics were influenced both by his religious background and by the Jamaican oral tradition, which is based on storytelling, proverbs, sayings and songs. His first hit, "Carry Go Bring Come," was about a gossip "This carry-go-bring-come my dear brings misery, This carry-go-bring-come my dear brings misery. You're going from home to home, making disturbances. It's time you stop doing these things, you old Jezebel." Then Hinds states that it is "better to seek a home in Mount Zion high instead of keeping oppression upon an innocent man" and concludes by asking "how long shall the wicked reign over my people." Its about a pretty wicked woman- Jezebel is a biblical Queen who is known as manipulative and evil. Hence the Mount Zion reference. In Jamaican Patois, a Jezebel is a wonam who either is a slut or you dont like very much. This song is talking about a woman whom the singer doesnt particulary like very much. And she talks alotta smack. Justin Hinds and the Dominoes, not Dekker. |
