Archway Keith 03:15
lyrics
ARCHWAY KEITH These walls are thin but it’s nowhere I ain’t been And if they crumble and fall with me in I’ll meet my maker with a grin and a middle finger for my sins We made them ours and sometimes lived like kings out of the bins How did it come to this? All we ever needed was a place to get pissed How did it get so bad? All we ever needed was the place that we had How did this come to be? All we ever needed was a place to be free How did it get so bad? All we ever needed was the place that we had Listen good and hard I’m speaking straight from the heart Swear down this fuckin’ yard is falling apart The plugs are dodgy and the toilets fucked The cost of living for free never too much but How did it come to this?... And now a year has gone Cytex on the window nothing much going on And now two years has gone Cytex on the window nothing much going on And now three years has gone Cytex on the window nothing much going on You know it’s been so long for A home and a roof and a place to belong I walk by now and then Think of all the good times with my friends Was it too good to last? Will the good life become a thing of the past? I walk by now and then Think of all the good times with my friends Was it too good to last? Will the good life become a thing of the past? How did it come to this?...

Life Is For The Living 03:24
lyrics
LIFE IS FOR THE LIVING Ever since I realised I had it and I lost it Even breathing seems to be leaving me exhausted Hold on to the belief I’ll get relief from the grief But I’ll only be at peace when I speak to the deceased Sailed the seven seas never found a reason to believe That reality will retrieve my family when I leave But that’s a hard pill to swallow drown my sorrows till tomorrow When I might not feel so hollow life’s the hardest act to follow So I got drunk on love and Guinness And I had to dance to the finish Cus hate and fear will diminish you And the light of your life is for the living Life is for the living! So you better get forgiving Dreams of the dead bouncing round my head Grateful for that chat but cant remember what was said But me and my father oh yea we laughed A gift from my mind pieced together from my past Woke up refreshed, no thoughts of death Only thoughts of life and how to spend what was left Reality check, mortalities effect It occurred to me eternity is coming for my neck So I got drunk... Life’s the hardest act to follow Death can leave you feeling empty or hollow So we’ll drown our sorrows till tomorrow Cus life’s the hardest act to follow

Boom Box 02:44
lyrics
BOOM BOX Open the door. slam on my shoes, sunshine Nothing left there to lose but time Lord knows that I wasted mine Yea I wasted mine Open the deck, slam in the tape, Hit play let the hit play let it hit There’s no way it could be a shit day As long as my tape don’t skip And when I get that feeling I know that it’s so appealing Yea when I get that feeling I know that something’s revealing All of the tapes yea all of the greats that I got Ska, soul, reggae, blues, punk rock All the way to hip hop Don’t forget the roots rock Open the deck, slam in the tape, Hit play let the hit play let it hit There’s no way it could be a shit day As long as my tape don’t skip And when I get that feeling I know that something’s revealing Yea when I get that feeling I know that it’s so appealing All I know is that I don’t know shit But I know just what I’m gonna do I’m gonna grab some hits and hit The phone book Then round up the roughneck crew South of the river gonna do what you do North of the river gonna do what you do Skins, punks, travellers, squatters, ravers and you If your liver will forgive ya come and do what we do

Beat The Bastards 03:03
lyrics
BEAT THE BASTARDS They won’t stop calling your name They won’t stop calling your phone They won’t leave us alone They won’t leave us alone Oh, my god, my darling, what have you done? Don’t you worry no more, I’m gonna get my gun I’m gonna shoot him down, take his life and your frown We’re gonna have some fun, when I get my gun They want your money and mine They won’t stop wasting our time They won’t leave us alone They won’t leave us alone Oh, my god, my darling, what have we done? You gotta get away from here, that’s it go turn round and run I’ll hold them off for a while, for as long as I can You know I’ll bury those bones because I am your man But when you think of me, 20 years from now In the arms of another or in the warmth of some cover Please do nothing but smile for me and always be proud Of that one time, that one day we beat the bastards some how

True Sound Killaz 02:57
lyrics
TRUE SOUND KILLAZ Rain or shine, wind or tornado Dub Righters stand strong in the throng they know Big or small, short or tall, topple all Cus the harder they come, yes the harder they fall They call me judge dread; I put your style on trial Kill a hundred sounds a minute or a hundred sounds a mile The trick is dropping the wickedest licks You can keep your sticks and stones As long as I got my music tricks I’ll always hold my own I remember back when outside the twelve bar Sitting drinking straight vodka, then pass the cider Next day wake up with no hangover Pay in; sit on the step all night No regrets hold tight to my friends in the fight Street drinking crew I’m thinking of you Good times come but blink and there through Really really really really, I know Hold tight to your friends in the fight And you better never let them go Really really really really, I care When the gun finger lingers in the air You know Dub Righters will be there (We'll be there, we'll be there) Rain or shine, wind or tornado Dub Righters stand strong in the throng they know Big or small, short or tall, topple all Cus the harder they come, yes the harder they fall Don’t get it twisted like curly fry I’ll surely die if it’s insisted that I live a lie The early sky, misted as I listed all the reasons why When it feels like I missed it, I still gotta try Chilled like dilla jams, yea I’m still the man When I’m on the mic it’s like bam bam billa, bam billa Stick around and find out who’s a true sound killa 161 we bun the competition Tell me where you gonna run when the hooligan come Slayed by my catchphrase and my slogan Cus the show get run by the one shogun You’ll get left blind deaf and dumb son When I come through with the kung-fu better run Dub Righters driving the bandwagon Like a crouching tiger or the hidden dragon

Death Bed Regrets 01:56
lyrics
DEATH BED REGRETS Run tell your enemies, run tell your friends You know when the Dub Righters coming down to your ends Better send a letter, better send a telegram Tell the man all about the time that the place got rammed By the first verse, for better or worse With my mic style, yes I’ll put you in a hearse I don’t need no 12 gauge, don’t need no tech 9 I go to war with a metaphor and rhyme If it’s an arms race, then mans an octopus Tear through my enemies, just like the rhinoceros Because I’m strong like lion, you’ll never take it lying down Usurp the crown when they found out we don’t clown around Cus I... don’t touch the rock, don’t touch the brown Don’t bow to no god, minister or crown Not one to dish out beat downs around town But no big bad wolf will ever blow my house down Just like an 18 wheeler, we’re heavy and deliver Lyrics so cold and bold they give you fever, make you shiver Or so I’m told the beer is bad for your liver So is Ebola, asteroids and living by the trigger But what would be, much worse for me Is to wake up at 93 having not lived true and free I don’t need no death bed regrets You don’t need no death bed regrets Never forget I do not need no death bed regrets You do not need no death bed regrets Never forget... never forget... never forget...

Black Coffee 03:48
lyrics
BLACK COFFEE At least I still got black coffee To get my ass out of bed And to blur the lines between Distraction and a meaning but Smoking and drinking black coffee It is nothing, it’s nothing without you Man it’s so easy to be weak Tell me what happened to my week Days fly by and before too long That’s another year gone Is there something that I seek? To be found at the peak Of this mountain that I’m on Man I’ve got to be strong
