Holy Emmanuel I Selassie I
Well a lot to be said
Age be protected
The sick to be cared for
The hungry must be fed
Well, tiers of Government men like spawns
And Babylon me holla out
What? Show you deh plans
Break free from the slave
Every prisoner's a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Them lift it up on Babylon again
Break free from the slave
Every black woman a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Bigger judgment
Them keep on grabbing
How they've been stabbing
Now the ghetto fire caan cool
Well then, them keep on plotting
Black progress you've been stopping
So me take the ghetto youths them out a you school
Babylon you keep on rushing to where I see nothing
When you know sey you a fi me foot stool
Babylon you're always mocking
This a Zion high trodding
Stop take the ghetto youths them fi fool
See them deh eh
Bout see slave they stop chill
Pon Babylon plantation a you a go get kill
Me sey gwaan a Africa
Cause mount Zion haffe build
Every tribal man come utilise your skill
Give I strength, give I the power
Unnuh fi give me all your will
Give I the plough and the mashett
Mek me go clean up the earth
Food haffi plant, but Jack belly nah go fill
Them fight gainst the youths
Him and him breathren name Jill
Well judgement
Break free from the slave
Every prisoner's a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Them lift it up on Babylon again
Break free from the slave
Every black woman a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Bigger judgment
Well you're always in pain, more and more
Tell me what's your name on your slave master door
Today you complain
Tomorrow you no sure
And then you run go wipe up blacker master floor
I see you in the morning, rushing out and through your door
Nuh Babylon bus unnuh deh hussle and board
Just know the human rights
So make your youths them secure
Black people so sweet
Nuh make Babylon plaster unnuh like sore
Break free from the slave
Every prisoner's a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Them lift it up on Babylon again
Break free from the slave
Every black woman a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Bigger judgment
Where do you go from here your response
And if you give me no joy, you better hold your distance
Me tell the ghetto youth the best thing is self-reliance
Live for yourself, that is significant
Well Babylon, me nuh fool fi make you run come conquer
Yes you know, these ghetto youths them well you could not pamper
Tell them the donkey haffi Christ a mule you fi hamper
What a brain solver yah pon Nebuchadnezzar
Babylon take the mass of the land, giving the people them butter
Sey them a top class and a brand us as the nigga
Sey them a high society and we a small settler
Well thunder, lightning pon crevice and corner
Well judgement
Break free from the slave
Every prisoner's a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Them lift it up on Babylon again
Break free from the slave
Every black woman a come
Ethiopia's last judgment
Babylon turn ashes when me done
Tell them sey a greater fun
Bigger judgment
Well a lot to be said
Age be protected
The sick to be cared for
The hungry must be fed
Well, tiers of Government men like spawns

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
Holiday
Bee Gees
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version.
Great version of a great song,
