COMPOSITIONS

(Untitled)

Let's dance tonight, girl
Won't you dance with me tonight?
The music is so sweet and the feelings alright
Let's dance tonight girl
Come and dance with me tonight
The beat of our hearts say it's oh so right.

Take my hand, Let me hold you tight now baby
The dancefloor's waiting for our feat, get ready
This is our first dance, just follow me now easy
Feel the rhythm and let's rock it steady

Don't mind them people around us looking
Rock with me, and forget everything
You've got to believe now, darling
Rock with me and just keep on dancing

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Sunny Day"

Sunny day, off the road
left my dear baby.
but why is it?
Now I'm all alone and sore
Rememberin' my baby,
it's a sunny day

Can't believe our tale is over
It was she and me against the world
she gave her heart and i gave her mine but
they slipped in our hands, we fell apart

she was mine, for a time
she was mine, oh yeah, for a time

Could it be now? or just a dream?
Thinkin' someday maybe a spark will gleam?

The thing we had was so good
my baby
Will she be the love she were before?
she'd give her heart and i'd give her mine and
we'd hold it together so we'd never part

she'd be mine for all time
she'd be mine oh yeah for all time

for all time

"Jamaican Beat"

We got a musical treat, it's called ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, it's called ska ska
Clap your hands, stomp your feet, just go ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, it's called ska ska

Get your feet on the floor, just go ska ska
So what you're waiting for? just go ska ska
Don't stop until your feet sore, just go ska ska
And you'll keep askin for more, some more ska ska

You've got to rock and shake it, come on, ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, come on, ska ska
Stand up and feel the heat, come on, ska ska
It's the jamaican beat, come on ska ska

"Dreamchase" (Rocksteaeddy#1)

come with me, chase our dreams to reality
picture landscapes of you and me
like little lights swirlin' undersea
just look and see

You're the light that shines down on me
you're the light, i'll see this clearly
we are leaning towards destiny

dancin' to the beat, sweet rocksteady

doo roo roo, doo roo roo, doo roo roo roo roo roo roo

Love is like playing wildfire on paradise
you're melting souls like a cube of ice
piercin' hearts with a pair of eyes
that's what you do now

I just wanna lie next to you
that is something that i wouldn't mind do
we are gonna make this come true
come on darling i know you want to

"Hooligans"
Hepcat


Listen my brother and understand
Don't play like a donkey if you're really a man
You don't fool a soul when you wear sharp studs
Your mouth is dirty and you cuss a bad word

Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans this is the time
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind

Mother been weeping
We were no more strangers (yes I pray)
We were more than friends (battles came down)
Yet the battles were splintered all over the place

Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans this is the time
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind

Always come up and always rude
Smashing things and breaking rules
Man what do you think you are
A little beast for sure

Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans this is the time
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind

Can't a woman's tender care (return you now)
Change from all the child she beared
We were no more strangers (yes I pray)
We were more than friends (battles came down)
Yet the battles were splintered all over the place

Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans this is the time
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans this is the time
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind
Hooligans, hooligans this is the time
Hooligans, hooligans make up your mind

"Country Time"
Hepcat

It was after midnight had come
that the new year had begun
It was time man to drink some rum
celebrate all the new things to come

Man say you want to live a brand new life
sing a new song old habits must die
I know you want to try and try
but when you say that it can't be no lie

Man you must try and change your ways
cause if you don't it might be too late
Bring the new year and happy days
stop this fussing and fighting today

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dahil Sayo"
Pilita Corrales

Sa buhay ko'y labis
Ang hirap at pasakit
Ng pusong umiibig
Mandi'y wala ng langit
At ng lumigaya
Hinango mo sa dusa
Tanging ikaw, sinta
Ang aking pag-asa

Dahil sa `yo nais kong mabuhay
Dahil sa `yo hanggang mamatay
Dapat mong tantuhin
Wala nang ibang giliw
Puso ko'y tanungin
Ikaw at ikaw rin

Dahil sa `yo ako'y lumigaya
Pagmamahal ay alayan ka
Kung tunay man ako
Ay alipinin mo
Ang lahat sa buhay ko'y
Dahil sa `yo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Shame And Scandal"
Peter Tosh and The Skatalites

Woe, misery
Shame and scandal in the family
Woe, misery
Shame and scandal in the family

In Trinidad/Jamaica there was a family
With much confusion as you will see
It was a momma and a papa and a boy who was grown
Wanted to marry a wife of his own
Found a young girl suited him nice
Went to his papa to ask his advice
His papa said: "Son, I have to say no,
That girl is your sister, but your momma don't know"

A week went by and the summer came down
Soon the best cook in the island he found
He went to his papa to make a day
His papa shook his head and to him he did say
"You Can't marry that girl I have to say no
That girl is your sister, but your momma don't know"

He went to his momma and covered his head
And told his momma what his papa had said
His momma she laughed,
she says: "Go man, go
Your daddy ain't your daddy, but your daddy don't know"

"Lovin' Man"
Hepcat

From the day I was born(hoo hooo),
I was born to be your lovinÂ’ man(lovinÂ’ man)
And do all that I love(hoo hoo),
I will fight to be the best I can(the best I can)

IÂ’ll say to you words of devotion,
and the truth, it flows free in my eye
Only love could softly deliver
this feeling that is deep inside

I was born to love you, I was born to love you
I was born to love you, I was born to love you

If you do me wrong(hoo hoo)
I will still be your lovinÂ’ man(lovinÂ’ man)
Coz itÂ’s in my nature(hoo hoo)
to give you all the love I can(the love I can)

IÂ’ll give you love, strength and my virtue,
Unconditional, free as a bird
Only love can softly deliver
what I try to get with these words

"Sirang Romantiko"
Put3ska

Sa ‘yong ngiti, sa kislap ng ‘yong mata,
sa kilos ng iyong labi akoÂ’y nabighani
Bawat galaw at kilos nitong daigdig,
AkoÂ’y sirang romantiko sa ihip ng hangin

Sana namaÂ’y madama mo na rin
Ang ‘yong damdamin wag nang pigilin.
Kita mong minsan lang manlalambing

Hawakan mo ang aking kamay ‘wag bitiwan
Tayong dalawa ay tutuklas ng hiwaga
Magtiwala ka
Naisulat na ng tadhana

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Is There Any Soul In Your Music?"
Gerhana Skacinta

Were you there the day the music died?
Did you wanna hold me baby when i cried?
Did you fight to stand by my side
when i'm despair? hmmm

Did you keep me save within your arms?
Did you protect me from all the harm?
Or did you win me over with all your charm?
with all your charm

Did you simply see(your chance)
To get who you wanted with(one dance)
You saw me hurting with once glace(ohhh)
Decide to fool my heart in vain

And like a fool(I went along)
As we dance i sang our song(the song)
I never thought I could be wrong(ohhh)
So I gladly play my part

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

"Promise Land(Tribute To The Skatalites)"
Gerhana Skacinta

Someday you will find the path
away from this petrifaction
Just open your eyes
There's a place for you to stay

One day you will see
when your eyes open wide
and then you believe
for what you've recieve

Someone would come to ease your depressed...baby
To hold your hand, and love your soul
So look up and say "What a beautiful day" baby
You'll surely survive for a wonderful life

"I'm In The Mood For Love/Ska"
Lord Tanamo

I'm in the mood for love,
Simply because you're near me.
Funny, but when you're near me
I'm in the mood for love.

Heaven is in your eyes,
Bright as the stars we're under
Oh! Is it any wonder
I'm In The Mood For Love?

Why stop to think of whether
This little dream might fade?
We've put our hearts together
Now we are one, I'm not afraid!

If there's a cloud above
If it should rain we'll let it
But for tonight, forget it!
I'm in the mood for love.

"Monkey Man"
Toots And The Maytals

Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye

Them a tell me
Hugging up the big monkey man
Now I know that
Now I understand
You're turning a monkey on me

"Miss Jamaica"
Jimmy Cliff

Miss Jamaica

Roses are red, violets are blue
Believe me, I love you
LetÂ’s not be apart 'cause you're the rose of my heart
And a-sweet rose, you are my queen

You're my Miss Jamaica
My Miss Jamaica
You're my Miss Jamaica
I'm crowning you myself

Although you may not have such a fabulous shape
To suit the rest of the world
But you do suit me and that's all I want to know
I need not know nothing more
