Bob Marley: No Woman no cry: 1974: Lyrics and Video






"No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry

Cause I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
Oba, observing the hypocrites
As they would mingle with the good people we meet
Good friends we have had, oh good friends we've lostalong the way
In this bright future you can't forget your past
So dry your tears I say

No woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Little darlin' don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

Said, said, said I remember when we used to sit
In the government yard in Trenchtown
And then Georgie would make the fire light
Log wood burnin' through the night
Then we would cook corn meal porridge
Of which I'll share with you

My feet is my only carriage

So I've got to push on through
But while I'm gone...

Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright
Ev'rything's gonna be alright

So, no woman, no cry
No, no woman, no woman, no cry
Oh, little darling, don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry

No woman, no woman, no woman, no cry
No woman, no cry
Oh, my little darlin' please don't shed no tears
No woman, no cry, yeah.”

Paul McCartney and Wings: Band on the run: 1973:Lyrics and Video







“Stuck inside these four walls, sent inside forever,
Never seeing no one nice again like you,
Mama you, mama you.
If I ever get out of here,
Thought of giving it all away
To a registered charity.
All I need is a pint a day
If I ever get out of here.

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
And the first one said to the second one there I hope you're having fun.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Well, the undertaker drew a heavy sigh seeing no one else had come,
And a bell was ringing in the village square for the rabbits on the run.
Band on the run, band on the run.
And the jailer man and sailor sam, were searching every one

For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run

Well, the night was falling as the desert world began to settle down.
In the town they're searching for us everywhere, but we never w ill be found.
Band on the run, band on the run

and the county judge, who held a grudge
Will search for evermore
For the band on the run, band on the run, band on the run, band on the run.”

Savage Garden: I knew I loved you: 2000: Lyrics and Video






Song writing is the equivalent of writing the perfect poem. With a song however you have the music to create the imagery for you. It simply must be exquisitely written.

“Hmm ohh, I will come
Maybe it's intuition
Somethings you just don't question
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant
And there it goes, I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
There's just no rhyme or reason
Only a sense of completion
And in your eyes, I see the missing pieces
I'm searching for, I think I've found my way home
I know that it might sound
More than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo ohh
A thousand angels dance around you
(Ooh hoo, hoo ooo hoo ooo hoo hoo hoo)
I am complete now that I have found you
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo ooo)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
(Ooh hoo ooo, hoo hoo hoo)
I knew I loved you before I met you
(Oh oh, ohh ohh, oh oh oh ay ay yea oh)
I knew I loved you before I met you, I knew I loved you
I knew I loved you before I.”

"When Hell Comes Home"


Daddy wants to take me for a ride
Daddy likes to drink when daddy drives
He's pounding on my door
He wants to come inside
Yeah daddy wants to take me for a ride

That's just the way it is, when I'm left alone
Yeah that's when hell comes home

Mommy says that everything is fine
Mommy hides her bruises all the time
She always makes excuses but I know that she is lyin'
Mommy says that everything is fine

That's just the way it is, he's evil to the bone
Mommy says that everything is fine
That's just the way it is, when we're left alone
Coz that's when hell comes home

I hear those footsteps on the stairs
Mom's bleeding out or maybe she don't care
We live in darkness and despair
I'm just so tired of being scared

(Daddy's home.. Get out my way... Gimme the bottle.. Steven... Steven... STEVEN... )

(no... no... no....)
Daddy's gonna get a big surprise
I'll put one right between his eyes
And in his blood I'll write his last goodbyes
Yeah daddy's gonna get a big surprise

That just the way it is, he'll be deader then a stone
That's just the way it is, he'll leave us both alone
That's just the way it is when hell comes home
Home....

Re-run. What’s the first word that comes to my mind when I think of this song? Ingenious!
This song has three parts to it, almost as if you getting three different songs in one.
Paul starts the seconds part of the song with “Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun..” This is where the musical magic starts for me..They just don’t make music like this anymore. I’m confident that a lot of planning went into this single song.

Eddy Grant: Romancing the stone:1984:Lyrics and Video




“I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurtin' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away

Tonight, tonight I'm falling where the peaceful waters flow
Where the unicorn's the last one at the water hole
I have found a love so precious like an emerald so bold
It's a firelight escaping from the jeweler’s hold

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away

Oh and in the heat of rapture when I feel the cold winds blow
Through the broken glass I'll see at last the sweet desire in you
I will climb up on my pulpit and I'll preach a sermon you
On the mountain roads in Harlem feel my jeweler’s hold

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away

I'm romancing the stone

I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away
I'm romancing the stone, never leaving your poor heart alone
Every night and every day gonna love the hurting' away .”

Bob Marley: Buffalo Soldier: 1983(Posthumous): Lyrics and Video




“Buffalo Soldier" is a reggae song written by Bob Marley and Noel G. "King Sporty" Williams from Marley's final recording sessions in 1980. It did not appear on record until the 1983 posthumous release of Confrontation, when it became one of Marley's best-known songs. The title and lyrics refer to the black U.S. cavalry regiments, known as "Buffalo Soldiers", that fought in the Indian Wars after 1866. Marley likened their fight to a fight for survival, and recasts it as a symbol of black resistance.”[1]









“Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
There was a buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

I mean it when I analyze the stench
To me it makes a lot of sense
How the dreadlock rasta was the buffalo soldier
And he was taken from Africa, brought to America
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival

Said he was a buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Buffalo soldier in the heart of America

If you know your history
Then you would know where you're coming from
Then you wouldn't have to ask me
Who the 'eck do I think I am

I'm just a buffalo soldier in the heart of America
Stolen from Africa, brought to America
Said he was fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Said he was a buffalo soldier, win the war for America

Dreadie, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy


Buffalo soldier troddin' through the land, wo-ho-ooh
Said he wanna ran and then you wanna hand
Troddin' through the land, yea-hea, yea-ea

Said he was a buffalo soldier, win the war for America
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Driven from the mainland to the heart of the Caribbean

Singing, woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy

Troddin' through San Juan in the arms of America
Troddin' through Jamaica, a buffalo soldier
Fighting on arrival, fighting for survival
Buffalo soldier, dreadlock rasta

Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy, woy yoy-yoy yoy
Woy yoy yoy yoy, yoy yoy-yoy yoy
