Get your coat
Get your hat
Get your dancing shoes on your feet
‘Cos I’m taking you out tonight,
There’s a ska party down the street
Are you ready?
Are you steady?
We’re going to skank till the morning light
I’m taking you to a party
We’re going to dance the night away
The bands are playing
The people swaying
Everybody is having fun
Oh my darling how I love you
My sugar sweet honey bun

Ghosts in the Park
1.
Staring out the window at the lush green fields
Never sure exactly quite how the world feels, to-day,
But they’re out there come what may, watching their kids learn how to play
In the park, what a lark, in the sun, havin' fun
Adults never realising what they’ve got
Oh they’re trying to remember better times they forgot
They lock the gates when it gets dark,
But the ghosts still play in Finsbury Park
After dark, it’s a lark, in the park, what a laugh
2.
A shot in the dark
Another ghost for the park
I’m watching through my window
His blood stains the grass
I raise a half empty glass
To his soul as it leaves the body
At his his last dying breath
And the reaper of death
Appears, to do his duty
He leads him away, before the cold light of day
To the park where the ghosts still play
3.
Now if you dare
I’ll meet you there
I’ll introduce you, if you like?
There’s the spooks and the kooks and the fruity old loops
The headless lady on her bike
They all like some fun
(when there’s no more sun)
A game of footie, kick off at midnight
They’re all there to see
If you’ll just follow me
In the Park where the ghosts still play
4.
Sleeping softly dreaming deeply in my bed,
Oh there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than in my head, to-day
And they’re out there just the same, and their life’s just a big funny game
In the park, what a lark, in the sun, ‘avin fun
Running trying to fit on a Sunday morning
Me I lie in bed, with mi hangover dawning
Lock the gates when it gets dark,
Because the ghosts come out in the park
When your life’s just a big silly game
The ghosts still play in Finsbury Park,
After Dark

Play it Cool

I play it cool
I dig all jive
That's the reason
I stay alive
My motto
As I live and learn
Is to dig and be dug in return
Its just a fool
Who complains about life
Makes excuses
and thrives on strife
His motto
and he’ll never learn
Is seed pain and get pain in return
And for the people,
The man on the street
The ones with nothin’
No food to eat
What’s their motto
as they strive to survive
Do what they have to & stay alive?
Because it’s big money big oil
They’re the new world order
You think they’re the ones who are gonna do what they aught’a
With Politicians, superstitions fuckin up the media
Do you really believe the bullshit that they’re feedin ya?
So try to unite we’ve got to put up a fight
Against the forces that are bleeding us
When push comes to shove, it’s the people who love that survive –
Play It Cool
