letra:
The
crowd without a face Begins to fill the space In the
arena Flashlights at his feet The lion from the street Awaits
the Christians A single strobe ignites the night
The smoke
begins to rise A sea of staring eyes Gaze on the sunburst His
weapon at his side He flashes it with pride Before his
legions Fires begin to rage And they engulf the stage All
right Bring on the night
He's in complete control He's
stepping proud and bold And everything he touches Turns to
gold He's got girls by the score He's got 'em screaming for
more But when they get too close He bars the door
He
makes his great escape Leaves them in his wake Without a
warning The ritual is done A night no longer young Fades
into morning The sun begins to rise As he begins to close his
eyes

por Bob Marley mas creditada à Carlton Barrett (baterista dos
Wailers) e Allan Cole (jogador de futebol), ambos amigos de Bob, foi
gravada em 1976 e lançada no disco Rastaman Vibration, em 20 de
abril de 1976. A letra foi quase toda copiada de um discurso feito
pelo Imperador da Etiópia Haile Selassie I, na Assembleia Geral das
Nações Unidas em 4 de outubro de 1963. A música é um exemplo do
estilo “one-drop drumming”, que Barrett ajudou a desenvolver e
refinar, se não foi o inventor. Os dois acordes simples de guitarra
e melodia semi improvisada deu estilo de Marley às palavras de
Selassie. Bob Marley não achava que Selassie era apenas imperador da
Etiópia. Bob marley achava que Selassie era a reincarnação de
Deus, de Jah. Foi gravada no estudio Harry J. Em Kingston, Jamaica.
Aston Barrett tocou baixo Fender. Carlton Barrett tocou bateria. Earl
Smith tocou guitarra. Alvin Patterson tocou percussão. Tyrone Downie
tocou teclado. Marcia Griffiths, Judy Mowatt e Rita Marley ,
juntamente com o I Three fizeram os backing vocals. Foi produzida por
Bob Marley and The Wailers e foi mixada em Miami, no Criteria Studio.
Foi regravada por Sinead O'Connor em 1992, entre outros artistas.

letra:
Until
the philosophy which hold one race superior And another
inferior Is finally and permanently Discredited and
abandoned Everywhere is war Me say war
That until there no longer first class
and second class citizens of any nation Until the colour of a
man's skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes Me
say war
That until the basic human rights are
equally guaranteed to all Without regard to race Dis a war
That until that day, dream of lasting
peace, world citizenship Rule of international morality Will
remain in but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never
attained Now everywhere is war War
And until the ignoble and unhappy
regimes that hold our brothers in Angola In Mozambique, South
Africa Sub-human bondage have been toppled, utterly
destroyed Well, everywhere is war Me say war
War in the east War in the west War
up north War down south War, war
Rumours of war And until that day
the African continent will not know peace We Africans will fight,
we find it necessary And we know we shall win, as we are
confident In the victory
Of good over evil Good over evil,
yeah Good over evil Good over evil, yeah Good over evil Good

You
always were a city kid though you were country raised And back in
some forgotten time we shared the cold north days But the simple
life was not your style, and you just had to escape So it's
goodbye to my lady of the islands
On Remembrance Day the bands all
played, the bells pealed through the park And you lay there by the
Do Not signs, and shamed them with your spark Now winter moans in
old men's bones as the day falls into dark So it's goodbye to my
lady of the islands
It was just like this behind the kisses
you so soon swept away I always knew that some day yo'd be bound
to just get pulled away
The summer sun beats on and on, the
shops swim in the heat And you're standing by the traffic signs
with taxis at your feet I know that in your city skin you're
feeling more complete So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands
No I never got the letters that you
said you'd send me So it's goodbye to my lady of the islands

letra:
Born
in Red Hook, Brooklyn, in the year of who knows when Opened up his
eyes to the tune of an accordion Always on the outside of whatever
side there was When they asked him why it had to be that way,
well, he answered, just because
Larry was the oldest, Joey was next to
last They called Joe Crazy, the baby they called Kid Blast Some
say they lived off gambling and runnin' numbers too It always
seemed they got caught between the mob and the men in blue
Joey, Joey King of the streets,
child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow
you away
There was talk they killed their
rivals, but the truth was far from that No one ever knew for sure
where they were really at When they tried to strangle Larry, Joey
almost got hit the roof He went out that night to seek revenge,
thinkin' he was bulletproof
Then, the war broke out at the break of
dawn, it emptied out the streets Joey and his brothers suffered
terrible defeats Till they ventured out behind the lines and took
five prisoners They stashed them away in a basement, called them
amateurs
The hostages were tremblin' when they
heard a man exclaim Let's blow this place to kingdom come, let Con
Edison take the blame But Joey stepped up, he raised his hand,
said, we're not those kind of men It's peace and quiet that we
need to go back to work again
Joey, Joey King of the streets,
child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow
you away
The police department hounded him, they
called him Mr. Smith They got him on conspiracy, they were never
sure who with What time is it? said the judge to Joey when they
met Five to ten, said Joey, the judge says, that's exactly what
you get
He did ten years in Attica, reading
Nietzsche and Wilhelm Reich They threw him in the hole one time
for tryin' to stop a strike His closest friends were black men
'cause they seemed to understand What it's like to be in society
with a shackle on your hand
They let him out in '71 he'd lost a
little weight But he dressed like Jimmy Cagney and I swear he did
look great He tried to find the way back into the life he left
behind To the boss he said, I have returned and now I want what's
mine
Joey, Joey King of the streets,
child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow
you away
It was true that in his later years he
would not carry a gun I'm around too many children, he'd say, they
should never know of one Yet he walked right into the clubhouse of
his lifelong deadly foe Emptied out the register, said, tell 'em
it was Crazy Joe
One day they blew him down in a clam
bar in New York He could see it comin' through the door as he
lifted up his fork He pushed the table over to protect his
family Then he staggered out into the streets of Little Italy
Joey, Joey King of the streets,
child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow
you away
Sister Jacqueline and Carmela and
mother Mary all did weep I heard his best friend Frankie say, he
ain't dead, he's just asleep Then I saw the old man's limousine
head back towards the grave I guess he had to say one last goodbye
to the son that he could not save
The sun turned cold over President
Street and the town of Brooklyn mourned They said a mass in the
old church near the house where he was born And someday if God's
in heaven overlookin' His preserve I know the men that shot him
down will get what they deserve
Joey, Joey King of the streets,
child of clay Joey, Joey What made them want to come and blow
you away

Go
and tell Lord Grenville that the tide is on the turn It's time to
haul the anchor up and leave the land astern We'll be gone before
the dawn returns Like voices on the wind.
Go and tell Lord Grenville that our
dreams have run aground There's nothing here to keep us in this
shanty town None of us are caring where we're bound Like voices
on the wind
And come the day you'll hear them
saying "They're throwing it all away" Nothing more to
say Just throwing it all away
Go and fetch the captain's log and tear
the pages out We're on our way to nowhere now, can't bring the
helm about None of us are left in any doubt We won't be back
again
Send a message to the fleet, they'll
search for us in vain We won't be there among the reaches of the
Spanish Main Tell the ones we left home not to wait
We won't be back again. (Won't be
back again...)
And come the day you'll hear them
saying "They're throwing it all away" Nothing more to
say Just throwing it all away
Our time is just a point along a
line That runs forever with no end I never thought that we
would come to find Ourselves upon these rocks again Oh no...
Go and tell Lord Grenville that the
tide is on the turn

Foi produzida por Don DeVito. Chegou ao número 54 do Billboard Hot
100. em 1976, depois de uma guerra de dez anos com Portugal, o país
Moçambique finalmente conseguiu sua independencia, em 25 de junho de
1975. Um mês antes da canção ser gravada, mais ou menos. Queriam
letras de apoio à independencia, no entando a letra de Mozambique
saiu apenas como sendo um lugar de sol, bom pra uma fuga romantica,
ao invés de falar sobre um lugar onde o povo vivia livre, essas
coisas. A crítica gostou da melodia, como esperado por parte desses
esquerdistas de merda e não gostaram da letra.
A
letra:
I
like to spend some time in Mozambique The sunny sky is aqua
blue And all the couples dancing cheek to cheek It's very nice
to stay a week or two And maybe fall in love, just me and you
There's lots of pretty girls in
Mozambique And plenty time for good romance And everybody likes
to stop and speak To give the special one you seek a chance And
maybe say hello with just a glance
Lying next to her by the ocean Reaching
out and touching her hand Whispering your secret emotion Magic
in a magical land
And when it's time for leaving
Mozambique To say goodbye to sand and sea You turn around to
take a final peek And you see why it's so unique to be Among
the lovely people living free Upon the beach of sunny Mozambique
