dj's
All of the D.J.'s surely have taken a lesson
Start talking trash and I'll come with my Smith and Wesson
A little competition comes my way
Bittybye but it always winds up the same
Ah but the stone that the builder refuse
Shall be the end corner stone and there
There ain't nothin' wrong, ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night
Oh, all of the D.J.'s surely have taken a lesson
Try talkin' trash and I'll come with my Smith and Wesson
Enough D.J.'s come - enough, enough stylee
When I bust my lyrics we all know it's wicked and wily
Ain't nothin' wrong, ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night
Oh, I bet your straight with your gat if you wanna walk with me
You bound to come down with the new stylee
Rock a rubadub known as reggae music
You gonna come down with the new lyrics
Cause it, it just ain't no thing - oh I said it's been a real long time
Ain't nothin' wrong, ain't nothin' right
And still I sit and lie awake all night
Ah Dreddy's got a job to do but he might fulfil his mission
Ah to see his pain will be his greatest ambition
We will survive in this world of competition
Truly God set around the nation - bo bo bo!!!!!!!
== Guitar Solo ==
I won't wait so long
Ooh I said I won't wait so long for you
Oh oh see now ooh woah
== Horns Solos ==
Stop your messin' around
Better think of your future
And time you straighten right out
Or you'll wind up in jail

hateful
(Strummer/Jones)kill that drummer
Well, I got a friend who's a man
Who's a man? What man?
The man who keeps me from the lovely, lovely
He gives me what I need
What you need? What you got?
I need it all so badly
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful, It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
This year I've lost some friends
Some friends? What friends?
I dunno, I ain't even noticed
You see, I gotta go out again
Again? My friend
I gotta go see that mainman
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful, It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
==instrumental==
anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful, It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
I killed all my nerves
My nerves? What swerves?
And I can't drive so steady
oh, I've lost my memory
My mind? Behind!
I can't see so clearly
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
(its not for free) he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
he gives it to me
he gives it to me
not for free
not for free
not for free
not for free
its not for you....its for me

i throw my toys around
(Gwen)
I've got no time for fairy stories
I'm not a little girl
So you can leave me all alone
And turn of the lights as well
If you were frightened then listen
But I don't think you'd like it
Such a nice kid
(Chorus)
Nobody's lookin' now
I throw my toys around
(Gwen)
Somebody's being very bad
I wonder who it could be
Somebody's gon' to get in trouble
I know it isn't me
I'm just a little angel
But cha don't know what I've done
When your backs turned
(Chorus)
(Gwen w/ Elvis Costello)
Pick up those building blocks
Chop off the baby's locks
Swing dolly by her hair
Put down that teddy bear
Slam dunk a happy clown
I throw my toys around
I've got no time for bedtime stories
I'm not a little child
Everything makes me furious
And everything makes me wild
If you are frightened
Then whistle and i'll come running to you
As you boo hoo
(chorus repeated twice)
(Elvis)
I throw my toys around
(Gwen)
I throw my toys around
(Repeated 10 times)

new
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
Yeah
New... you're so new
You... you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
New... you're so new
The normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your whim
Are you here to fetch me out?
'Cause I never had this taste in my mouth
Oh you're not old
And you're not familiar
Recently discovered
And I'm learning about you
New... you're so new
You... you're new
And you're consuming me violently
And you're ever shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac
'Cause I never had this taste in my past
Oh you're different
You're different from the former
Like a fresh battery
I'm energized by you
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
Why am I so curious
This territory's dangerous
I'll probably end up at the start
I'll be back in line with my broken heart
New... you're so new
You... you're new
And I never had this taste in the past
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can't believe I've had this chance now
Don't let it go away
And I can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Can't believe it
Don't let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don't let it go away
New... you're so new
New... you're so new

oi to the world
Haji was a punk just like any other boy
And he never had no trouble 'til he started up his Oi band
Safe in the garage or singing in the tub
'Til Haji went too far and he plugged in at the pub
'Twas a cold Christmas Eve when Trevor and the skins
Popped in for a pint and to nick a bag of crisps
Trevor liked the music but not the Unity
He unwound Haji's turban and he knocked him to his knees
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
Haji was a bloody mess, he ran out thru the crowd
he said "We'll meet again we are bloody but not unbowed"
Trevor called his bluff and told him where to meet
Christmas day on the roof down at 20 Oxford Street
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
On the roof with the nun chucks Trevor broke a lot of bones
But Haji had a sword like that guy in Indiana Jones
Police sirens wailing, a bloody dying man
Haji was alone and abandoned by his band
Trevor was there fading and still so full of hate
When the skins left him there and went down the fire escape
(Oi! Oi!)
But then Haji saw the north star shining more then ever
So he made a tourniquet from his turban saving Trevor
They repelled down the roof with the rest of the turban
and went back to the pub where they bought each other bourbon
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
If God came down on Christmas Day
I know exactly what He'd say
He'd say "Oi to the punks and Oi to the skins
But Oi to the world and everybody wins"
(Oi! Oi!)

Desmond has a barrow in the market place
Molly is the singer in a band
Desmond says to Molly "Girl I like your face"
And then she says this as she takes him by the hand
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

Obladi Oblada life goes on bra

Desmond takes a trolley to the jewellers store
Buys a twenty carat golden ring
Takes it back to Molly waiting at the door
And as he gives it to her she begins to sing
Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

Ob-la-di ob-la-da life goes on bra

With a couple of kids running in the yard of

Happy ever after in the market place
Desmond lets the children lend a hand
Molly stays at home and does her pretty face
And in the evening she still sings here with...C'MON EVERYBODY!
