    Walking down the road
    With a pistol in your waist
    Johnny you're too bad
    Walking down the road
    With a ratchet in your waist
    Johhny you're too bad

    [Chorus:]
    You're just robbin' and stabbin'
    And lootin' and shooting
    You're too bad repeat

    One of these day's
    When you hear a voice say come,
    Where you gonna run to?
    One of these day's
    When you hear a voice say come,
    where you gonna run to?

    [Chorus]

    You're gonna run to the rock
    For rescue, there'll be no rock
    You're gonna run to the rock
    For rescue, there'll be no rock


    6. Red red Wine

    Red, red wine
    Goes to my head
    Makes me forget that I...still need her so.

    Red, red wine
    It's up to you
    All I can do, I've done
    Memories won't go, memories won't go.

    I'd have sworn that with time
    Thoughts of you would leave my head
    I was wrong, now I find
    Just one thing makes me forget:

    Red, red wine
    Stay close to me
    Don't let me be alone
    It's tearing apart...my blue heart.

    I'd have sworn that with time
    Thoughts of you would leave my head
    I was wrong, now I find
    Just one thing makes me forget:

    Red, red wine

    Don't let me be alone
    It's tearing apart...my blue, blue heart.

    Red, red wine, you make me feel so fine
    You keep me rockin' all of the time
    Red, red wine, you make me feel so grand
    I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand
    Red, red wine, you make me feel so sad
    Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
    Red, red wine, you make me feel so fine
    Monkey back and ease up on the sweet deadline.

    (Red, red wine)
    Red, red wine, you give me whole heap of zing
    Whole heap of zing; you make me do my own thing
    (It's up to you...)
    Red, red wine, you give enough of love
    You're a kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
    Red, red wine, I loved you right from the start
    Right from the start, with all of my heart
    Red, red wine in an eighties style
    Red, red wine in a modern beat style
    Yeah.

    (I'd have sworn...)
    Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
    (That with time)
    Give me a little time, let me clear out my mind
    (Thoughts of you would leave my head)
    Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine
    You make me feel fine all of the time
    Red, red wine, you make me feel so fine
    Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line

    Wherever you may be, I'll surely find
    (It's tearing apart...)
    I'll surely find
    Make no fuss
    (My blue heart) -
    Just leave us.

    7. Guilty


    “Well, hello baby
    Come here, sit down and make yourself comfortable
    Tell me something
    How long have we known each other
    About 10 months now
    Say whats that you got on your finger
    An engagement ring
    So you and Johnny are engaged ah
    You know
    His a mighty lucky guy
    He should be proud to have a woman like you
    Listen
    I've got something i wanna tell you
    Don't think i'm getting pressured or anything like that
    But this thing being bugging me for a long time now
    And its getting heavier heavier each and everyday
    And i just need to get it off my chest
    I've never seen anybody like you
    I've never known anybody like you


    Guilty , guilty of loving you

    Let me take you back to my child hood
    We had a medium sized family you know
    We weren't rich but my mother
    She tried to bring us up the best she could


    Guilty, guilty of loving you

    To commit no crime or anything
    But i had to wait until i reached my goal
    To commit this crime
    According to their code of love, if there is such a code
    See love is a thing that
    Well you know
    It’s a bit like quicksand
    The more you wiggle
    The Deeper you sink
    And when it hits
    You'll just have to fall
    That’s why I do believe
    That I'm guilty

    Said I'm guilty
    Guilty of loving you(2x).”


    8. She caught the train

    Another night of loneliness, my love is gone
    She made a fuss, and she was wrong, yet she is gone

    I asked her friends if they'd seen her
    They said she'd take the train
    I ran to catch the train, oh my, the train is gone

    Another night of loneliness, my love is gone
    She made a fuss and she was wrong, yet she is gone

    I asked her friends if they'd seen her
    They said she'd take the train
    I ran to catch the train, oh my, the train is gone

    Another night of loneliness, my love is gone
    She made a fuss and she was wrong, yet she is gone
    I run to catch the train, oh my, the train is gone




    9. Version Girl

    Version Girl, what's your name?
    Oh you come and you go,
    Version Girl, what's your name?
    Just like the morning sun.
    It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me.

    oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

    Version girl, what's your name?
    Don't you know I long to say.
    Version Girl, what's your name?
    It's so hard to find a personality with charms like yours for me

    oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

    I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along
    So my heart will be satisfied
    So please let me be your number one
    Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun.

    [Chorus]

    oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

    [Talking:]
    Version girl, whats's you name?
    Oh you come ....... etc

    oo-ee oo-ee oo-ee

    I sit in the sun waiting for you to come along
    So my heart will be satisfied
    So please let me be your number one
    Under the moon, under the stars and under the sun.


    Many rivers to cross
    Many rivers to cross
    But I can't seem to find my way
    Wandering, I'm lost
    As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

    Many rivers to cross
    And it's only my will that keeps me alive
    I've been licked, washed up for years
    And I merely survive because of my pride

    And this loneliness won't leave me alone
    It's such a drag to be on your own
    My woman left, and she didn't say why
    Well, I guess, I've got to try

    (I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
    But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
    (I've got) there'll be times when I find myself (rivers to cross)
    Thinking of committing some dreadful crime

    (I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
    But I can't seem to find my way home
    (I've got) wandering, I am lost (rivers to cross)
    As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

    (I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
    And it's only my will that keeps me alive
    I've been licked, washed up for my years (rivers to cross)
    And I merely survive because of my pride

    And this loneliness won't leave me alone
    It's such a drag to be on your own
    My woman left, and she didn't say why
    Well, I guess, I've got to try

    (I've got) many rivers to cross (rivers to cross)
    But I can't seem to find my way home
    (I've got) wandering, I'm lost (rivers to cross)
    As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover

    Cause I've got many, many rivers to cross
    (I've got) wandering, I'm lost (rivers to cross)
    (I've got) many, many rivers to cross

    (I've got many rivers to cross)
    (I've got many rivers to cross)
    Many, many, many, many (rivers to cross)

      Bob Marley & The Wailers: Keep on moving: 1971

      When UB40 redone this classic in 1983 on Labour of Love 1, I immediately took to it, cause I knew where it came from, it came from a true African Herbsman... so for the UB's who are going through a challeging time right now and anyone who's an underdog like me.."Lord, I got to keep on moving LAW is after me!!"


      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Lord, I gotta get on down
      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Where I can't be found
      Law, they're coming after me

      I've been accused of a killing
      Lord, knows, I didn't do
      They're hanging me, they are willing, yeah
      That's why I gotta get on through
      Lord, they're coming after me

      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Lord, I gotta get on down
      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Where I can't be found
      Law is coming after me

      I've got two boys and a woman
      They're just gonna suffer now
      Lord, forgive me for not going back
      But I'll be there anyhow
      I'll be there anyhow

      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Lord, I gotta get on down
      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Where I can't be found
      Law is coming after me

      Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
      Somewhere not by or near anyone
      Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman
      And my two grown up son's
      My two grown up sons

      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Lord, I gotta get on down
      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Where I can't be found
      Law is coming after me

      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Lord, I gotta get on down
      Lord, I gotta Keep On Moving
      Where I can't be found
      Law is coming after me

        Lol, my younger brother & I bunked school and hitch hiked to Hillbrow where Woodstock was showing at an independent movie theatre, Bug-house we used to call it, the name of the Bug-house escapes me right now but anyway it was a jol. Mainstream Movie outlets wouldn't screen the movie, but I think the Government of the day was the main reason for that.

        I bought a CD/DVD set about three years ago, I found it in a bargain bin & my kids love watching it, they laugh hilariously at some of the scenes. I have three boys.

        Woodstock was a once off occasion that influenced many lives, from students to politicians - in SA we have HoutStok & Oppi-Koppi which don't compare. Joe Cocker was brilliant & he became an Icon after his appearance which earned him millions of new fans.

        Peace.

          Woodstock was indeed a musical milestone. My friends & I saw the Woodstock film at a matinee in Cape Town. Then shortly afterwards attended a 2 day rock festival at Hartleyvale stadium. What a jol! We arrived by train packed with other fans, all in the spirit of the original Woodstock.

          In attendance was most of the top SA bands such as Mcully Workshop, Ballyhoo, Freedom's Children, Omega Ltd, Otis Waygood Blues Band (Zim). Also guys like Gene Rockwell, Jody Wayne & Bobby Angel. A big hit on the Friday night was a new band called Hawk. Dave Ornellas with his booming voice and afro hairstyle introduced African Day. The acoustic/electric art created a visual and musical picture of the threatened village and the feast afterwards. Awesome stuff. The album, African Day, became a hit and "must have" for any serious music follower. Many bands tried to emulate this fusion of rock and African music. As far as I am concerned, only Johnny Clegg and Juluka came close.

          On the Saturday night there was a British band called The Diary which rocked up a storm. It is the first time that I saw a guy dance, no rock, a piano right across the stage!

          In the true spirit of Woodstock it all went peaceful and we were all brothers and sisters. We left for home Sunday morning. Dirty, hungry and exhausted, but boy, did we have a good time!

                And this one is for all the Flames fans out there. There was a petition to have this album (their last) re-issued, but the Beach Boys are just wiping their arses on the fans. I hope they will See The Light someday...

                  Freedom's Children, Otis Waygood and Hawk were considered 'cool' in the early 'Out Of Town' Club crowd Josies in the early days. But believe me, Louis Greef of Omega Ltd could swing an axe, he' make that guitar sing. Braam Malherbe was the drummer for Hawk on some early albums but was parted ways with Hawk just before their European Tour. Hawk used to play at the Electric Circus which later changed the name to the Palace. The club was an allnighter and when Hawk played 'Here Comes The Sun' you knew it was the last song and the sun was actually coming up.

                  Freedoms Children spent some time in the UK but were denied work permits because musicians made bad laws in SA. Their music genre was called progressive rock, Hawk was Afro Rock and Otis Waygood Blues Band got their name from a lift company were more blues oriented with a touch of jazz and rock, they were dedicated musicians and a tight outfit. I only remember one of their albums which I might still have in a cardboard carton somewhere in the attic. I should have albums from all three of these groups and a seven single vinyl of Omega Ltd. called 'Um it was the guy that the composer that had to be told the news by Beethoven in Johnny B Goode by Chuck Berry the crazy Rock'n'Roller much admired by The Stones & Beatles in their early days, both bands recordered Chuck's songs, Rock'n'Roll Music (Beatles) & Oh Carol and Little Queeny (Stones) I'm sure there's others, for sure in their early live shows & probably covered on recordings, I'll check up. Peace.

                    1. Reggae music is engraved on my heart. It’s engraved in a wholly original manner. The best way that I can really describe it is that this music was engraved upon my heart by an artist with a broken beer bottle as his painting brush. This broken bottle was cut around my heart several times.Some broken pieces of glass still remain! It was cut in such a way that this music is now part of who I am as a human being. I’ll take this music with me to my grave;
                    2. IN the 80’s UB40 made what can now be seen as a low budget movie called Labour of Love 1. I can identify with so many aspects of this movie! Ever walked to a party some distance from your home in Winter as a kid just because you knew that a certain chick would be there? Well, I did, and in this movie, there is one classic scene, Ali Campbell does just that, It’s Winter and he knows that this chick called ‘Cherry,’ will be at this party. On approaching the party location, the charismatic sound of Version girl sings out, just the way it supposed to be. This song is best enjoyed on open speakers among like-minded people. This song is the chosen song to play upon Ali entering this party, followed by Sweet Sensation and Cherry Oh Baby.
                    3. Version Girl is a toasting classic, perfectly rendered, two people singing to the very same melody but with different words. Harmonisation at its best. There was just so much to this music that made it special and keeps it special!

                    I proudly give you Labour of Love 1

                    1. Cherry Oh Baby
                    Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby.
                    Don't you know I'm in love with you
                    If you don't believe it's true,
                    What else is there for me to do?
                    So long I've been waiting,
                    For you to come right in.
                    And now that we are together,
                    Please make my joy come over.

                    Chorus

                    Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
                    Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
                    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
                    Oh, yeah.
                    Yeah, yeah, yeah.

                    Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
                    Don't you see I'm in love with you?
                    If you don't believe I do,
                    Then why don't you try me?
                    I will never gonna let you down,

                    If you say that you love me madly,
                    Well babe I'll accept you gladly.

                    Chorus

                    Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,

                    2. Keep on Moving
                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving

                    I've been accused of a killing
                    Lord knows, I didn't do
                    For hanging me, they are willing
                    That's why I gotta get on through
                    Law, they coming after me

                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
                    Lord, I gotta get on down
                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
                    Where I can't be found
                    Law is coming after me

                    I've got two boys and a woman
                    They're just gonna suffer now
                    Lord forgive me for not going back
                    But I'll be there anyhow
                    I'll be there anyhow

                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
                    Lord, I gotta get on down
                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
                    Where I can't be found
                    Law is coming after me

                    Now maybe someday I'll find a piece of land
                    Somewhere not by or near anyone
                    Then I'll send for my love, love, love sweet woman
                    And my two grown up sons
                    My two grown up sons

                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
                    Lord, I gotta get on down
                    Lord, I gotta keep on moving
                    Where I can't be found
                    Law is coming after me

                    3. Please don’t make me cry

                      UB40: Sing our own song: 1986
                      Okay, so the ub’s have been declared bankrupt! I think our government should give them some form of compensation for the role they played in our struggle! UB40 remained true to being an authenticate reggae group in that they sand about love, life, philosophy, politics and they championed the cause of our people during the Apartheid regime! ‘Sing our own song,’ is just one example…



                      “The great flood of tears that we've cried for our brothers and sisters who've died
                      Over four hundred years has washed away our fears
                      And strengthened our pride now we turn back the tide

                      We will no longer hear your command
                      We will seize the control from your hand
                      We will fan the flame of our anger and pain
                      And you'll feel the shame for what you do in God’s name

                      We will fight for the right to be free
                      And we will build our own society
                      And we will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song

                      When the ancient drum rhythms ring, the voice of our forefathers sings
                      Forward Africa run, our day of freedom has come
                      For me and for you, Amanda Awethu

                      We will fight for the right to be free
                      And we will build our own society
                      And we will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
                      And we will fight for the right to be free
                      And we will build our own society
                      And we will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
                      And we will fight for the right to be free
                      And we will build our own society
                      And we will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song
                      And we will fight for the right to be free (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will build our own society (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will sing (Amandla Awethu), we will sing, we will sing our own song (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will fight for the right to be free (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will build our own society (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will sing (Amandla Awethu), we will sing, we will sing our own song (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will fight for the right to be free (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will build our own society (Amandla Awethu)
                      And we will sing, we will sing, we will sing our own song (Amandla Awethu)”

                        Kylie Minogue: Better the devil you know: 1990

                        An up tempo dance song featuring both Kylie and her sister Danii Minogue moving their bodies exquisitely to some cool music. I know they older now, but I picture both of them just as they were in this music video.

                        The one lady on TFSA that carries their ‘aura’ is our very own Darkangelyaya(Just check out this lady's smile)….

                            Not so long ago

                            Tommy used to work on the docks
                            Unions been on strike
                            He's down on his luck... it's tough, so tough

                            For love - for love

                            She says we've got to hold on to what we've got
                            Cause it doesn't make a difference
                            If we make it or not
                            We've got each other and that's a lot
                            For love - well give it a shot

                            Chorus:
                            Whooah, we're half way there
                            Living on a prayer

                            Now he's holding in what he used
                            To make it talk - so tough, it's tough
                            Gina dreams of running away

                            Tommy whispers baby it's okay, someday

                            We've got to hold on to what we've got

                              Wild Boys: Duran Duran:1984



                              “The wild boys are calling
                              On their way back from the fire
                              In august moon's surrender to
                              A dust cloud on the rise
                              Wild boys fallen far from glory
                              Reckless and so hungered
                              On the razors edge you trail
                              Because there's murder by the roadside
                              In a sore afraid new world

                              they tried to break us,
                              looks like they'll try again

                              Wild boys never lose it
                              Wild boys never chose this way
                              Wild boys never close your eyes
                              Wild boys always shine

                              You got sirens for a welcome
                              There's bloodstain for your pain
                              And your telephone been ringing while
                              You're dancing in the rain
                              Wild boys wonder where is glory
                              Where is all you angels
                              Now the figureheads have fell
                              And lovers war with arrows over
                              Secrets they could tell

                              they tried to tame you
                              looks like they'll try again

                              Wild boys never lose it
                              Wild boys never chose this way
                              Wild boys never close your eyes
                              Wild boys always shine”

                                I don't like reggae
                                Vanash don't like reggae
                                We don't like reggae
                                We love it
                                I was walkin' down the street, concentratin' on truckin' right I heard a dark voice beside of me And I looked 'round in a state of fright I saw four faces, one mad; a brother from the gutter They looked me up and down a bit and turned to each other

                                I say, I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it

                                Don't you walk through my words You got to show some respect Don't you walk through my words Cause you ain't heard me out yet

                                Well, he looked down on my silver chain He said: 'I'll give you one dollar' I said: 'You've got to be jokin', man It was a present from my mother' He said: 'I like it, I want it, I'll take it off your hands And you'll be sorry you crossed me You better understand That you're alone (a long way from home)'.

                                And I say, I don't like reggae, oh no, I love it I don't like reggae, oh no, I love it

                                Don't you cramp me style, don't you queer me pitch Don't you walk through my words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

                                I hurried back to the swimming pool, sinkin' Pina Colada I heard a dark voice beside me say 'Would you like something harder?' She said: 'I've got it, you want it, my harvest is the best And if you try it You'll like it and whollow in a Dreadlock holiday.

                                And I say, don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her Don't like Jamaica, oh no, I love her, oh yeah

                                Don't you walk through her words You got to show some respect Don't you walk through her words 'Cause you ain't heard me out yet

                                I don't like cricket, oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday) I don't like reggae, oh no, I love it (Dreadlock holiday) I don't like Jamaica, oh no I love it (Dreadlock holiday)

                                Manash, I really thought you'd say 'we love it'. I have heaps of reggae, Marley, Tosh, UB40, Eddie Grant, Dennis Brown, Toots & the Maytals, Third World & other lesser known artists. I used to visit "Down Town Studios" & one time 'oh shit what's his name? A local dude who was ranked 'best reggae artist' umm, oh yea Lucky Dube was recording. He'd booked Studio 1 for a week & with heavy security, never heard him recording but what a buzz.

                                Sorry about no link but maybe you won't mind to do the honours. Peace.
