This Is A Slow Song

This is not the time to rush (X4)
Whether you're drinking coffee
or whether your drinking tea
Doesn't matter if you're high or low
wherever you be
This is not the time to rush (X4)
This isn't the time to get angry
This isn't the time to fight
Everybody bring it back to the one
This is the time to unite
This is not the time to rush (X4)
Whether you're with your loved ones
No matter if you're by yourself
No matter if you're with your family
This ones for your health
This is not the time to rush (X4)
You can stop for a minute
You can stop for a day
Give yourself a chance to take a breath
and recooperate
This is not the time to rush (X4)

Whispering Opinions
03:15

Now there's time to talk I'm sitting
Waiting by the signs, the road signs
Wind is whispering and giving me opinions
How can I argue with what is absolutely true and why do
Why do we not listen when she talks
My shoes and socks
Rain puddles mud in which we walk
My creaky spine
I just can't sit still until it pops
Love is crucial so are children
When they're making observations
People staring, yeah you look good
as I'm standing by the station
Talking about the town we live in
Bellingham Washingtonians
Jumping up and down for joy
I'm finally somewhere I belong so
Stunt my growth,
If I need a boost to make me shout
My coffee shines,
through my teeth like grit
so glad you're mine.
Show me how you do the things you do
Make sure that I know you want me to
The sun is mine
You give me the moon and I'll be fine.

Hit The Streets
03:07
|

Better was the time you're words were softly spoken
Better was the letter you sent from Tennessee
Better was the time you said we'd last for ever
You'd hold me in your arms for eternity
Love is blind they say when your heart's on fire
And it's hard to turn off the spell of infatuation
I fell for you just like Johnny Cash said like a child and the fire went wild
Now I'm said but I had my fun
I know it's cliche to ask for your friendship
I must say you got breakin' up down to an art
I say why should we waste our time together knowing each other so damn well
But you stabbed me in the heart
Maybe you think I ought to be a little more manly
I'm happy that I'm made of fifty percent of a girl
Everyone is in denial, Man and woman made a child
We all got half and half so let's have some fun
Better watch your back when you're walkin' around my city
Better look the other way if you don't want heat
'Cos my boat is rock steady, never mind if it's got a few patches
And my guns don't argue so you better just hit the streets

Always The Sunshine
01:51

Behind every dark cloud, there is always the sunshine,
shining for you baby, because you're mine
Every time I see you, you know my temperature gets higher,
If you don't believe me, why don't you come a little closer
You got me going, out of my mind,
A love like yours, is so very hard to find
Every time I see you, you know my temperature gets higher
If you don't believe me, come a little closer
Behind every dark cloud, there is always the sunshine
Shining for you baby, because you're mine...

Chaka Chaka Freedom

Freedom is the name of the sentiment I don't care about the way of the president
'Cos em don't represent me and never will, not one voice indicative of a whole people
This dance is the Chaka, yes the Chaka Chaka
Like Fozzy Bear mi chant say Ah Waka Waka
You can't hold a dance inna any session like the Yogoman 'cos a me a son of a gun we go
BLAST BLAST through the barriers, time and space, take me with you get me out of this place
of stagnancy make an eruption
Move on up if you want a revolution of the spirit
So easy to be negative, so passe and you won't break me positive
Set us free from the paradigm sayeth if you want to create than you must be afflicted
Let love breath and beautiful become the muse
True I and eye of the beholder to choose
What sits right to me, may not to you
and we've got to live together so much respect due
Freedom is the name of the sentiment I don't care about the way of the president
'cos em don't represent me and never will not one voice indicative of a whole people
Well you can't stop the bum rush
Aries pon fire mek wi burn it up
Can't stop dancin' when me get the itch
but I don't get the itch often enough these days
Will the real dance music please just walk this way
Party Favorites, La Push, Guinness and the Reparations
No time to knock on wood
We gotta jack up the flatbed, pull them up, run us around town
Show them Bellingham get down
Elevate me baby take me to the top floor
All them said is Yogo don't hurt me no more - BLAST BLAST
one for the guts one for the glory
This is the fashion and way me tell a little story
Break 'em off some'm inna reggae category
Everybody welcome to mi musical church
it is a wild rumpus a when mi kickin' up dirt
Freedom is the name of the sentiment I don't care about the way of the president
'cos em don't represent me and never will not one voice indicative of a whole people
Freedom is the name of the sentiment!
(my daughter Meixing says at the end of the recording (age 1) - "It's a cookie, a cookie!"
