Bastille Day

-------------------------------------------
A new revolution and you are the king
The warriors wait out in the streets
For this execution get out of the way
'Cause baby it's Bastille Day today
I will take you, I'll take you with me
I can drive all night if you let me
Buckle up hold still please, I'll take you with me
I'm the driver, you're coming with me
You're coming with me
There won't be armies, there won't be songs
The battle will stay right where it belongs
I've got my scriptures and one enemy,
A weapon, and the right place to be
I will take you, I'll take you with me
I can drive all night if you let me
Buckle up hold still please, I'll take you with me
I'm the driver, you're coming with me

Wasting Time

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
from where i'm standing it sure looks like you're walking away
your feet are barely moving so my heart is surely winning the race
well i can't tell if there's anything real i could say
that would bring you back home so i'm going to have to call it a day
because i'm wasting time
i'm talking to the spot where you used to be standing before
i'm wasting time
i'm talking to the spot where you used to be standing before
the way i'm talking would move her if it wasn't too late
now i'm saying all the words that she used to always beg me to say
and i just know if she heard me say it back in the day
i'd be done with all the ghosts and the heartache that i keep in her place
and now i'm wasting time
i'm talking to the spot where she used to be standing before
i'm wasting time
i'm talking to the spot where she used to be standing before

Death

----------------------
you have been true
for a long long time
time has stood still
but i'm still yours and you're still mine
though we must obliquely run
you make me end where i begun
and i'm still in love with you
don't you ever be afraid you hurt me
it would never mean a thing unless you loved me
don't you ever be afraid you hurt me
it would never mean a thing unless you loved me
rest in my hands
let me cry and try to speak
slow your breath
and let my voice sing you off to sleep
though the world may moan around me
i have shown that i'm still in love with you
don't you ever be afraid you hurt me
it would never mean a thing unless you loved me
don't you ever be afraid you hurt me
it would never mean a thing unless you loved me
give warning to the world
that we lost a good one today
i'm alright
she's only gone forever
i'm alright
death's only done forever

The World's On Fire
04:11
|

|
--------------------
the world's on fire
the world's on fire and we give in
the world's on fire
and we love it that way
there will be no peace on earth
not while innocent and criminal men exist
no, there will be no peace among men
not while guilt and punishment exist
not while the world's on fire
the world's on fire and we give in
the world's on fire
and we love it that way
one day there will be no words
for if you haven't got enough to eat
and one day there will be no words
for children who were not born free
but not while the world's on fire
the world's on fire and we give in
the world's on fire
and we love it that way
and we made it that way
'cause we want it that way
turn it over
turn it over and over again
turn it over
until the underneath's on top
until the underneath's on top
one day there'll be peace on earth
just like the day before the very first slave
and one day there'll be peace among men
slavery was born and so it shall die
but not while the world's on fire
the world's on fire and we give in
the world's on fire
and we love it that way
turn it over
turn it over and over again
turn it over
until the underneath's on top
until the underneath's on top
until the underneath's on top

A collection of reggae versions of some of David Bowie's best songs. The best thing is, Bowie's original vocals are used -- it's beautiful! Black Market is a reggae genius - check it out!

Hustling Culture

Nobody in the reggae scene right now is better than The Expanders. They're both instrumentally and vocally on another level above the rest of us. If you like the classic sound, you will love this.

Hear Nate from Black Market and I in our "other-other" gig in Nigel Walsh's live band. Nigel and I formed our first band when we were 13 years old. He's one of the best songwriters I've ever known.
