LOVE AND AFFECTION
(Bob Marley / Bunny Livingstone)

This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
And I...
I was the one who feels the pain
I was the one where the heartaches remain
I was the one who always feel the pain

This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
That's why
I have the lonesome feeling
It hurts to be alone
Now I'm a king
But sitting on an empty throne

This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
Du-du-dup-de-dup-de-dup...

This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
That's why
I have the lonesome feeling
It hurts to be alone
Now I'm a king
But sitting on an empty throne

This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection
This was caused through love and affection

MR BROWN
(Bob Marley)

(Ooh - ooh - ooh - ooh)
(It's Mr Brown) Mr Brown is a clown who rides to town in a coffin.
(Well, here he comes) In the top is ... three crows on top and two inside there.
Oh, what a confusion! Ooh, yeah, yeah!
What a botheration! Ooh, now, now!

Who is Mr Brown? I wanna know now!
He is nowhere to be found.
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville, coffin runnin' around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown.
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville, coffin runnin' around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown.
I wanna know who (is Mr Brown)?
Is Mr Brown controlled by remote?

O-o-oh, calling duppy conqueror,
I'm the ghost-catcher!
This is your chance, oh big, big Bill bull-bucka,
Take your chance! Prove yourself! Oh, yeah!

Down in parade
People runnin' like a masquerade.
The police make a raid,
But the people - oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah - they think it fade.

What a thing in town
Crows chauffeur-driven around,
Skankin' as if they had never known
The man they call "Mr Brown".

I can tell you where he's from now:
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville, coffin runnin' around,
Upsetting, upsetting, upsetting the town,
Asking for Mr Brown.
From Mandeville to slide-a-ville...

NO SYMPATHY
(Peter Tosh)

I can't find no love
No sympathy
What kind of love
They've got for me
I'm on my way
To happiness
Where I can find
Some peace and rest

When I'm in my trouble here
Only me feels the pain
Not one good word of advice
From any of my so called friends

I can't find no love
No sympathy
What kind of love
They've got for me
I'm on my way
To happiness
Where I can find
Some peace and rest

Might as well, might as well
I get out, I get out of hell
Hell would never be made for me
So I'm gonna search, search 'till I'm free

I can't find no love
No sympathy
What kind of love
They've got for me
I'm on my way
To happiness
Where I can find
Some peace and rest

ONE CUP OF COFFEE
(Bob Marley)

One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
Though I just dropped by to let you know
That I'm leaving you tomorrow;
I'll cause you no more sorrow:
One cup of coffee, then I'll go.

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the heartaches I caused you;
It won't take the place of loving you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go.

Tell the kids I came last night
And kissed them while they slept;
Make my coffee sweet and warm
Just the way you used to lie in my arms.

I brought the money like the lawyer said to do,
But it won't replace the heartaches I caused you;
It won't take the place of loving you, I know,
So one cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go;
One cup of coffee, then I'll go...

PLACE OF PEACE
(Bob Marley)

So far away from where it's happening
You think you found a place of peace
Just to find that it's happening everywhere
It's happening here there and everywhere
Please don't touch that with the vision
Learn to respect every man religion...
Let I live a life I love to today...
Lift my spliff and take a draw
Someone say I'm breakin' the law
They make everything to try and arrest you...

PRAY FOR ME
(Bob Marley)

Tell all the weakhearts
Stay away from my door
Just can't take your evil no more
Cup is full and runneth over
Far as I can see
Shally Wally wah
Did you say your prayer
Shall Wally way
Pray for me, pray for me
Pray for me, pray for me

Hey Mr. Klansman get down from the tree
Can't stand to see
The suffering of the majority...

PUNKY REGGAE PARTY
(Bob Marley / Lee Perry)

Said you gonna punky, punky, punk
New wave, new waves
New wave, new waves

Going to a party
And I hope you are hearty
So please don't be natty
For it's a punky reggae party

New wave, alright, new waves
New wave, new waves

It takes a joyful sound
To make the world go round
Come with your heart and soul
Oh c'mon, c'mon rock your bone

It's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright
What did you say?

Rejected by society
Mistreated with impunity
Protected by my dignity
A sort for reality

New wave, alright, new waves
New wave, new wave, new waves

I'm sayin': The Wailers will be there
To jam, to jam the Clash
Maytals will be there
Dr.Feelgood too
Ooh, no rumour force, no rumour force will be there
Singin' no rumour force, no rumour force will be there

Well it's a punky reggae party
And it's tonight
It's a punky reggae party
And it's alright

A tip from a gipsy
She said: man you got on tipsy
Hiding from reality
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy
In your world of hypocrisy, look out

A bubble we a bubble
We ain't looking for no trouble
But if you trouble trouble
We'll give it to you double
Let me tell ya

It takes a joyful sound
To make the world go round
It takes a joyful sound
So c'mon, c'mon rock your bone

'Cause it's a punky reggae party...

RECORD A NEW SONG
(Bob Marley)

Every night you record a new song
And you sing about your love and your hate
You try to make a break of a new dawn...

If you gonna live by the gun now
Surely gonna die by the gun...
Have no respect for anyone
Well, it seems like unoo have no manners to no one
Look how unoo a gwan...
You should listen to your vision

If Rasta no build the house
Workman work in vain
No matter what you hear them say
Come again

Rastafari is our leader
On the bright and morning star
Don't you know I'm right
Don't you know I'm right
Don't you know I'm right

SOUL REBEL
(Bob Marley)

I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer
I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

See the mornig sun, see the morning sun on the hill side
If you're not living good gotta travel wide, you gotta travel wide
Said I'm a living man, said I'm a living man and I've got, I've got work to do
If you're not happy, then you must be blue, must be blue
People say that

I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer
I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

See your morning sun on the hill side
If you're not living good I beg you travel wide, travel wide
Said I'm a, said I'm a, said I'm a living man, I've got work to do
If you're not happy, if you're not happy, then you must be blue
You must be blue, you must be blue

I'm a rebel, soul rebel
I'm a capturer, soul adventurer

(Bob Marley)

We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight!
We gonna have a soul shakedown party tonight!
The way you love-a me, huh! It's all right!
When you put your lovin' arms around me
And you hold me tight (hold me tight)

Doing the outside dance
I'm telling you the other day
She didn't even get a chance!

But this is my invitation

SOUND THE TRUMPET
(Bob Marley)

Sound the trumpets loud and clear
[Christmas time is here]
That it can be heard everywhere
[Christmas time is here]
Everyone looking happy
Everyone looking glad
Everyone looking happy
Only I've been sad
Yes I wish you a Merry Christmas
[Rasta Ras will be there]
And wherever you may be
Telling me your giving me a listening hand
I'll try to be happy
'Cause you know what Christmas brings
You never know what's going to happen
When you hear the choir begin to sing, choir sing
Yes I wish you a Merry Christmas
[Rasta Ras will be there]
And wherever you may be
Telling me your giving me a listening hand
I'll try to be happy
I'll try to be glad
You can't tell what's going to happen
When you hear the choir begin to sing, choir sing
[Sound the trumpets loud and clear]
Well, a Merry Merry Christmas to you, yeah
That it can be heard a Merry Christmas to you
I'll try to be happy
'Cause you know what Christmas brings
You can't tell what's going to happen
When you hear the choir begin to sing, choir sing
