1. Protection

Tracy Thorn
This girl i know needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around her
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
If you left her just the way
You found her

I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl
But you know you can lean on me
And i don't have no fear
I'll take on any man here
Who says that's not the way it should be

I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection

She's a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look so small, you look so small
You got a baby of your own
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
To catch you when you fall

Stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection
Stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a girl and i'm a boy (x4)

Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Just runnin round and round, helter skelter
And i've leaned on you for years
Now you can lean on me
An that's more than love, that's the way
It should be
Now i can't change the way you think
But i can put my arms around you
That's just part of the deal
That's the way i feel
I put my arms around you

I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection
I stand in front of you
Take the force of the blow
Protection

You're a boy and i'm a girl (x4)


2. Karmacoma

Tricky
You sure you want to be with me
I've nothing to give
Won�t lie and say this lovin's best
Leave us in emotional peace
Take a walk, taste the rest
No, take a rest

3D
I see you digging a hole in your neighborhood
You�re crazy but you�re lazy
No need to live in a lean-to
Your troubles must be seen to seen to
Money like it's paper
With faces I remember
I drink on a daily basis
Though it seldom cools my temper
It never cools my temper

Tricky
Walking through the suburbs though not exactly lovers
You�re a couple, 'specially when your body�s doubled
Duplicate, then you wait for the next Kuwait

(both)
Jarmacoma, Jamaica an' roma (x4)

3D
You sure you want to be with me I�ve nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest
You sure you want to be with me I�ve nothing to give
Take a walk take a rest taste the rest
Take a walk take a rest a taste of rest

Tricky
Don't want to be on top of your list
Phenomenally and properly kissed
We overcome in 60 seconds
With the strength we have to together
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed
When there�s trust there�ll be treats
And when we funk we'll hear beats

(both)
Karmacoma, Jamaica an' roma (x4)

3D
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, see i'm swazy
Digging a hole in your neighborhood
You're crazy but you're lazy, must be lazy

Tricky
Don't wanna on top of your list
Monopoly and properly kissed

3D
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
My baby
Deflowering my baby, are you my baby mate
I must be crazy, you must be lazy

(both)
Karmacoma, what?, Jamaica an' roma (x4)


3. Three

Nicolette
3's my lucky number
And fortune comes in 3s
But I wish I knew that number
That even little children seem to see
Oh, I'm missing everything I knew
It's just so hard to be a child
Oh, I'm missing all the things I knew
Yet wish I knew nothing at all
I wish I knew nothing at all

Soon I'll have the courage
To leave my thoughts behind
I'll give back all the knowledge
and keep the wisdom precious in my mind
Oh, I'm missing all the things I knew
I miss them yet I want them gone
Yes, I'm missing all the things I knew
Yet wish I knew nothing at all
I wish I knew nothing at all
I wish I knew nothing at all

5. Spying Glass

Horace Andy
You live in the city
You stay by yourself
You invite all weakness
Still some people they ???
Just because you are rasta
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You invite all company
When you check it in the new spying glass
They want to know all your business

You live in the city
You mind your own business
What you see you don't see
But some people they always see
They never mind their own business
You move to the country
You live in the hills
You think you're far from the weak
When you check it in your spying glass
They want to know rasta business

Spying Glass!
Spying Glass!

yeah


6. Better Things

Don't drag me down
Just because you're down
And just cause you're blue
Don't make me too
Although you've found
Beauty more than me
Don't talk to me
About being free
That's freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love

Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way

You say the magic's gone
Well i'm not a magician
You say the spark's gone
Well get an electrician
And save your line about needing to be free
Ah, that's bullshit babe
You just won't let it be

You want freedom without love
And magic without love
Magic without love
Yeah

Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way
Here we're safe
Better things will surely come our way


7. Eurochild

3D
Sitting in my day care, wall is day-glo painted.
Blessed by the drink
Upon the corner ???
Chased by the planet
Haunted by the medium
Too high to flow toward to break the tedium
Glow from my tv set is blue like neon
Activated the remote I put the BBC on
I've seen this city somewhere
I'm looking out for no-one
Pilot in my eye it gets blue like neon

Tricky
Hell is round the corner where i shelter
Isms and schisms we're living helter skelter
If you believe i deceive then common sense says shall you receive
Let me take you down the corridors of my life
And when you walk, do you walk to your preference
No need to answer till i take further evidence
I seem to need reference to get residence
A reference to your preference to say i'm a good neighbour
I trudge so judge me for my labour

I walk in a bar and immediately I sense danger
You look at me, girl, as if I was some kind of a
A total stranger

3D
Hysterical, ecstatical, automatic ???
Have to get a drink, I go to relax
Upon phono, no go zone I go through
Aching aways just to relocate you
Kill us with your fist
Now baby mix it with me
You see me function better when I get approximately
High by my technical flyby
I function better with the sun in my eyes
So goodbye

Tricky
Take a second of me you beckon I'll be
And when you're sad I'll mourn
And when you tear I'm torn
Take a second of me (x2)
I stand firm for our soil
Lick a rock on foil
So reduce me, seduce me
Dress me up in stussy
Show me and I'll stick em
Will you be my victim
Take a second of me

3D
Mad over you, mad over me, an analogy
Baby taking up up all of my stationary
Sitting in my daycare, mediocre painted
Colliding with the jam
Until the drink got dated
Window when they go when they go boom
??? of my room
No sense you can trust me
Climb on my sofa roll in a daydream
Spliff make daddy go sleep-a-trip dream


8. Sly

I try to believe what I feel these days
It makes life much easier for me
It's hard to decide what is real these days
When things look so dizzy to me
I already know my children's children's faces
Voices that I've heard before
There's always more
There's always more

Tandering leaving the sea behind
To my home which everybody owns
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

I feel like a 1000 years have passed
I'm younger than I used to be
I feel like the world is my home at last
I know everyone that I meet

Somewhere in the music I can hear the bells
I've heard a 1000 years before
There's always more
There's always more

Wandering is this there all there is
Since I was since I began to be
Wandering, wandering
Where we can do what we please
Wandering

10. Light My Fire (Live)

Horace Andy

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If was to say to you
Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through
There's No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire

You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If was to say to you
Girl we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire
Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire
