She only ever
Walks to count her steps,
Eighteen strides and she stops to abide
By the law that she herself has set.
That eighteen steps is one complete set,
And before the next nine right and nine left.
She looks up up at the blue,
And whispers to all of the above.

Don't let me drown, don't breathe alone,
No kicks no pangs no broken bones.
Never let me sink,
Always feel at home,
No sticks no shanks and no stones.
Never leave it too late,
Always enjoy the taste,
Of the great great great grey world of hearts.
As all dogs everywhere bark
It's worth knowing,
Like all good fruit, the balance of life is in
The ripe and ruined.

The pictures tell the story
This life has many shades
I’d wake up every morning and before I’d start each day
I’d take a drag from last nights cigarette
That smoldered in it’s tray
Down a little something and then be on my way

I traveled far and wide
And laid this head in many ports
I was guided by a compass
I saw beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the faces of my own
I had these memories all around me
So I wouldn’t be alone

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
I ain’t winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

This ones for the mighty sea
Mischief, gold and piracy
This ones for the man that raised me
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This ones for our favorite game
Black and gold, we wave the flag
This ones for my family name
With pride I wear it to the grave

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here
In a rose tattoo

This one means the most to me
Stays here for eternity
A ship that always stays the course
An anchor for my every choice
A rose that shines down from above
I signed and sealed these words in blood
I heard them once, sung in a song
It played again and we sang along

You’ll always be there with me
Even if you’re gone
You’ll always have my love
Our memory will live on

Some may be from showing up
Others are from growing up
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn’t have a clue
I ain't winning no one over
I wear it just for you
I’ve got your name written here

In a rose tattoo

In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
With pride I’ll wear it to the grave for you
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
I’ve got your name written here,
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
In a rose tattoo
Signed and sealed in blood I would die for you

What it is

The drinking dens are spilling out
There`s staggering in the square
There`s lads and lasses falling about
And a crackling in the air
Down around the dungeon doors
The shelters and the queues
Everybody`s looking for
Somebody`s arms to fall into
And it`s what it is
It`s what it is now

There`s frost on the graves and the monuments
But the taverns are warm in town
People curse the government
And shovel hot food down
The lgihts are out in city hall
The castle and the keep
The moon shines down upon it all
The legless and asleep

And it`s cold on the tollgate
With the wagons creeping through
Cold on the tallgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it`s what it is
It`s what it is now

The garrison sleeps in the citadel
With the ghosts and the ancient stores
High up on the parapet
A Scottish piper stands alone
And high on the wind
The highland drums begin to roll
And something from the past just comes
And stares into my soul

And it`s cold on the tallgate
With the Caledonian blues
Cold on the tallgate
God knows what I could do with you
And it`s what it is
It`s what it is now
What it is
It`s what it is now

There`s a chink of light, there`s a burning wick
There`s a lantern in the tower
Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick
Still writing songs in the wee wee hours
On Charlotte Street I take
A walking stick from my hotel
The ghost of Dirty Dick
Is still in search with Little Nell
And it`s what it is
It`s what it is now
Oh it`s what it is
What it is now[/quote]


Übersetzung:


So sieht es aus

Die Trinkerhöhlen machen dicht
Auf dem Platz wird getorkelt
Dort sind wankende Kerle und Mädchen
Und ein Knistern in der Luft
Ganz unten bei den Türen des Verlieses
Den Schutzbauten und den Kolonnen
Sucht jeder nach
Den Armen eines anderen, um darin zu versinken
Und so sieht es aus
So sieht es jetzt aus

Auf den Gräbern und Monumenten liegt der Frost
Aber die Tavernen in der Stadt sind warm
Die Leute schimpfen auf die Regierung
Und schaufeln heißes Essen hinunter
Die Lichter sind gelöscht im Rathaus,
Im Schloss und im Burgfried
Der Mond scheint auf alles herab
Auf die Haltlosen und die Schlafenden
Und es ist kalt auf der Zollschranke
Bei den Wagen, die passieren
Kalt auf der Zollschranke
Gott weiß was ich mit dir machen könnte
Und so sieht es aus
So sieht es jetzt aus

Der Wächter schläft in der Zitadelle
Mit den Geistern und den alten Steinen
Ganz oben auf der Brüstung
Steht ganz allein ein schottischer Dudelsackbläser
Und hoch auf dem Wind
beginnen die Hochlandtrommeln an zu lärmen
Und etwas aus der Vergangenheit kommt einfach
und starrt in meine Seele
Und es ist kalt auf der Zollschranke
Mit dem kaledonischen Blues
Kalt auf der Zollschranke
Gott weiß, was ich mit dir machen könnte
Und so sieht es aus
So sieht es jetzt aus
So sieht's aus
So sieht es jetzt aus

Da ist ein kleiner Lichtspalt
Da ist ein brennender Docht
Da ist eine Laterne im Turm
Wee Willie Winkle mit einem Kerzenstumpf
Schreibt immer noch Songs.
In der Charlotte Street mache ich
Einen kurzen Spaziergang von meinem Hotel.
Der Geist von Dirty Dick
Ist immer noch auf der Suche nach Little Nell
Und so sieht es aus
So sieht es jetzt aus
Oh, so sieht's aus
So sieht es jetzt aus

Talkin' 'bout the coming of Jah
The time is not far

Please rescue me-e-e
Oh my majesty
Can't you rescue me-e-e

Rumors of war
Talkin' 'bout the coming of my father

How happy I'll be
Knowing I am home
Where I am free

Talkin' 'bout war
And rumors of war
Talkin' bout the coming of the Negus
The time is not far

Oh my(3x) majesty
Can't you rescue me

When I look upon creation
All I see is man's abomination
Causing combination
Amongst the younger generation

War
Rumors of war
Talkin' 'bout the coming of Jah Jah
The time is not far

When I reach that place
Gonna be happy and free
Knowing I'm in that land
And I've got my liberty

And I see war in a Beirut
War in a...
Lebanon
Syria, yeah
Pakistan
Namibia
Soweto
Johannesburg
South Africa

Make sure your hands and heart are clean
So you can rally around the red, gold and green

Everyone is crying out for peace yes
None is crying out for justice

I don't want no peace
I need equal rights and justice
Got to get it
Equal rights and justice

Everybody want to go to heaven
But nobody want to die
Everybody want to go to up to heaven
But none o them want to die

What is due to Caesar
You better give it on to Caesar
And what belong to I and I
You better give it up to I

Everyone heading for the top
But tell me how far is it from the bottom
Nobody knows but
Everybody fighting to reach the top
How far is it from the bottom

Everyone is talking about crime
Tell me who are the criminals
I said everybody's talking about crime, crime
Tell me who, who are the criminals
I really don't see them

There be no crime
Equal rights and justice (Precedes each line below)
There be no criminals
Everyone is fighting for
Palestine is fighting for
Down in Angola
Down in Botswana
Down in Zimbabwe
Down in Rhodesia
Right here in Jamaica

Stop that Train
I'm a leaving...
And it won't be too long
Whether I'm right or wrong

All my life
I've been the lonely man
Teachin people that don't overstand
And even though I try my bes'
I still don't find no happiness

Some goin' east
And a some goin' west
I see some stand aside
Just to try their best
And I say some livin' big
But the most them livin' small
And they can't even find
No No No food at all

Stop that train
Can't take dem ya pressure...

Until the philosophy which holds one race
Superior and another inferior
Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned
Oh, everywhere is war, say war

is war
Children

Until there are no longer first class
Second class citizens of any nation
Until the colour of man's skin
Is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes
Everywhere is war, war
Everywhere is war

Killing the brother, war
Destroying the country, war
For nothing, war
For nothing, war
They going to take care of another brother
We don't need no more war

Some winning, some losing
Some dying, some crying
Some singing
We don't need no more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
Oh no, oh no no no
We don't need no more trouble

We don't need no more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
Oh no, oh no

What we need is love to guide and protect us on
If you help me down from above
Help from where we get from
Oh, you got to stop the war

We don't need no more trouble
We don't need no more trouble
