dennis brown - any day now

Any day now
I will hear you say goodbye my love
And you'll be on your way
Then my wild, beautiful bird
You will have flown
Any day now I'll be all alone

Any day now
When your restless eyes
Meet someone new
Oh to my sad surprise
Then the blue shadows will fall
All over town
Any day now, now love will let me down

I know I shouldn't want to keep you
If you don't want to stay
Until you're gone forever
I'll keep holding on for dear life
Holding you this way
Begging you to stay

(..)

Any day now
When the clock strikes go
You'll call it off
And then my tears will flow
Then the blue shadows will fall
All over town
Any day now, now
Love will let me down
'Cause you won't be around
No, don't fly away
My beautiful bird
Don't, don't fly away
My beautiful bird
Well.. why oh why..

dennis brown - blood sweat and tears

I woke up this morning with no bread on my table
My women woahhh she is so willing and able
Take it easy she said, Jah is alive and you must survive.
I can't hold how much longer the wicked is getting stronger.

And everyday is just blood sweat and tears burning inside of me!
(2x)

Everyone's playing their game and feel, I just can't get my equal share.
My women woahhh, she is so willing and able.
Take it easy she said, Jah is alive and you must survive.
I can't hold how much longer the wicked is getting stronger.

And everyday is just blood sweat and tears burning inside of me!
(2x)

dennis brown - cassandra

I can't believe thats it's real,
The way that she makes me feel
Its something deep down inside,
Oh it's a feeling I just cannot hide
She's never been unfaithful to me
So we will always be
She's never been unfaithful to me
As far as I can see
She gave me love in the morining and in the evening too
She gave me love in when I'm lonely so I never felt blue
So ride on Cassandra ride on ride on ride on
Ride on Cassndra ride on ride on ride on

dennis brown - concentration

Whoah yo whoah. Mmmmmm. Whoah yo whoah

It started down in the drag to concentrate
And getting a weekly pay instead of begging every day
Father gave us every little thing to make us try
And help ourselves, and he said he'd help those
Who try to help theirselves

So, if you want to be in that situation
Change your evil ways and join this congregation
And maybe you'll soon be living like the king
That sitteth on his throne
If happiness is far away, it will show up some day
Whoah yo whoah. Whoah yo whoah

If you want to live that independent life
Go out and do the work instead of being in a fight
Father knows that you're the chosen one
To perform his works
And you'll be repaid in his holy way, in his holy way
Yeah, yeah
In his holy way, holy way, yeah, holy...
