Jamie & Shoony - Why Do I

Aye Or Die Part Wan

you in the yes campaign ? nah am aye or die 
kin trace ma independent roots tae 2005 
and ave been banging on ma Scottish drum for many a year 
 hink  am  gonnae jist sit here  let them talk out yer rear 
 nah  no having  Baltik I pit ma stamp on it 
we only got this chance the wance u best be grabbing it 
gee yous a heads up am researched and read up 
depressed by the press whit they print got me fed up 
how objective is the media yer watching 
and whits their interests in an independent scotland 
yer being lied tae at best mislead 
their using bully boy tactics tae mess wae yer head
try tae say they didnae want us as part of the  pound 
when its in their best interest tae keep us around 
b like cutting aff their nose jist tae go and spite their face
the way this campaign being fought, on bathe sides is a disgrace  
I couldnae care , u didnae want tae agree wae me 
the fact is, we could even go and keep the pound illegally
but  wed be better aff, starting our ane currency 
finally no controlled, fae the city of London m8 
hate tae BREAK it tae ye, but scotland is no democracy
when 90% of mps vote against a policy 
AND  STILL  ITS INSTITUTED  
That's why Westminster Scotland be best without it 
sa whits the point, of u. even going try tae dispute it 
the bed room tax is an affront nae debating about it
maist folk got it twisted hink their voting for salmond
but its nothing tae dae wae him or that etonian Cameron
no SNP or Tory yer jist voting for yer sovereignty
is ignorance the problem is it them for no informing ye 
properly probably a lack of proper policy 
cus honestly id rather keep the nukes than the monarchy 
 obviously awe  that stuff  remains to be seen
in the scheduled elections, set for 2016
sa learns the words well spread them right roon yer scheme 
its got tae be aye or die tae see Scotland redeemed
ken whit I mean well then its time to play yer position
Battle politicians word for word in a war of attrition  
England dizznae even want us that's the fact that your missing 
jist have a  look at independence fae a Tory position
cus if they do  lose country they urnae   losing  votes 
In fact an independent Scotland probably keep them in jobs  
Say the country so rich, but m8  maist eh us broke
that's why its got tae be aye or die for any true Scottish hopes 
been under occupation since 79
when yes vote meant no went on like everything's fine 
its a democratic deficit, time that we should be ending it 
cus working folk shouldnae be dependant on their benefits
full proof go Google everything ave said 
see the state of this place man it sends me in a rage 
tax credits widnae be needed if they paid a decent wage 
telt ye many times before we awe jist modern day slaves
would you no rather live on the  strength of our ane backs
instead of being hand cuffed n hit wae unfair tax
 by sitting on the fence you jist promote the status quo
be like slitting Scotland's throat if yer going and voting no  
I got better together campaigners awe cummin after me 
fir backing independence and promoting it actively 
sa keep on spouting lies m8 imp jist gonnae laugh at ye 
cus never been a victim of political apathy
 forget fir a minute of an independent nation
you should want mare accountable representation
time tae stop the hating complaining winging and blaming
Scotland be brave and take them up on their invitation
is that enough or are you needing mare persuasion
you hesitating mibey undecided and still waiting
im educating, by simply jist ventilating 
remember its Aye or Die when ye head tae the polling station

Im getting tired of this long division, talking with a touch of wisdon,
fire into politician chicks until I fuck the system, 
lucky chicken crossed the road by hoff an inch a truck had missed-him,
stunned and grinnin', sorta like a bad-joke, worth a listen. 
Your burd can birth a kid and nurture it with stuff its given,
even if your in two minds about it like a tough decision,
but ive had enough of this, am bumpin every word i've writtin,
kiddin , but if ye'v nothing to stand for ye shoulda stuck to sittin. 
If yer tired of this cancer-ridden land we live in plan a bit, 
demand to hiv a plan to make the planet different.
Or ye could sack it give-in, patch the single-handed mission,
catch a glimpse of madness as ye dance within the acid-trippin.
Pass the spliff, advance a bit, get back ty chillin,
laugh it aff and drap the daft demands of manufacturism 
cause yer styles dead like Maggie Thatcher is and am a tad better than yer average kid
at managing to mask a rhythm. 
A thought of quittin, nah a'l just go with it. Rubbered-fucked poet with another rough flow to spit,
Out-of-luck, blown it, but about to shout over, step round it, stop moaning, speak now and get noticed quick.
I lost the written, found it in ma sober head, put it back together but surrounded it with open-ends.
Now I've got a script-unfinished and I won't pretend it is, go with it till its wrote again. 
So what's what?
Shoulda hit the soft spot,
Coulda been there sooner, he was lookin for a lost-plot.
Never found it, there was fewer than his pops-thought.
Would'a kicked around if he just knew enough to shot-lots.
But hes got crops, grew em in his maw's-loft,
when the cops knocked, troubles brewin' in the crock-pot,
now hes fuckin fumin' like a hot-box, stupid cause he got caught,
and the nights ruined like your cock-blocked.
But who's who? Runnin from the screw crew, 
stumpled in the rush and now hes muddied up his new shoes, boo-hoo, 
fuckit but these cunts are gonna doo you, put you in the cuffs and hit and hurt ye till your too-bruised.   
So you choose, give up now, or push through, be a trooper and resume up-out of pursuit,
used a route to get ye oot, fuck bow-ing down and boost with the loot because ye do-know-how,
That's how ye do. 
A thought of quittin, nah a'l just go with it. Rubbered-fucked poet with another rough flow to spit,
Out-of-luck, blown it, but about to shout over, step round it, stop moaning, speak now and get noticed quick.
I lost the written, found it in ma sober head, put it back together but surrounded it with open-ends.
Now I've got a script-unfinished and I won't pretend it is, go with it till its wrote again. 
Tired of the double gins, flying from a couple spliffs, chillin with ma chick, she's sitting higher than Repunzal wis. 
Am on another script, writing for the fun of it, love to spit, son a settin' fire to these other kids.
I've wondered if I tried to come to fuckin grips with life would I survive or pay the price for all the stuff I've did?,
but if I died it wouldn't be suffice to cover shit, rubbered prick, tick-list somthin' like a tonne of bricks-weight,
the states-bad, sad-faced happy kid, band-aid plastered on ma fan-page rapper spit, bland taste, back-stage pass, 
mates chappin spliffs, dafty. Hands up-off ma pad mate, sacrilege.
Fuck the averageness that half these battle-actors writ, don't play with slaggin-matches ciz ye might end up in bandages.
And a have a list of things I'd rather tackle, which a mastely base on acts that I actually see as challenges.
I thought of quittin, nah av got another plan. Rubbered-fucked poet but I'm stoating with the upper-hand.
Am in luck, know it cause I focused on ma goals and can, show for it. Moan ya prick I hope ye try ty stoap is man.
I lost ma head and found it when I smoked again, wrote an end to all of this balony then a broke ma pen.
Now av got ma shit all finished and a don't intend to quit, so am rippin up the whole event.
A thought of quittin, nah a'l just go with it. Rubbered-fucked poet with another rough flow to spit,
Out-of-luck, blown it, but about to shout over, step round it, stop moaning, speak now and get noticed quick.
I lost the written, found it in ma sober head, put it back together but surrounded it with open-ends.
Now I've got a script-unfinished and I won't pretend it is, go with it till its wrote again.

'UFO' is featured on the compilation album '1st Renaissance' by Red Dragon Records, released on 07/01/2013.  Available to download on  iTunes, Amazon, etc:  Find more information here: http://reddragonrecords.zimbalam.com/

"UFO is an epic journey" - A Little Bit Louder Music Blog, Music Blogger

"l'excellente "UFO", une chanson vraiment contrastée par la douceur des violons et la puissance rock de la guitare électrique, insaisissable! [the excellent  "UFO", a song really contrasted by the sweetness of violins and the rock power of the electric guitar, elusive!]" Les Addictions L'Emilie Music Blog, Music Blogger

A review of 'UFO' by Rock 'N' Roll in my Soul Music Blog:

"His track ‘UFO’ is a seesaw teetering from brunt guitar riffs with unforgiving bass and smashing drums, to gentle strums. The introduction is beautiful. The layering produces a stunningly calm mood with caressing guitars that are somewhat reminiscent of Pink Floyd’s ‘Marooned’.

It makes the switch to the harsher state and again goes back and forth, before bringing the bridge that made me want to tell you readers about him. The intensity of this section, accompanied by the words, “Come on down, without a sound,” is impossible to understand without listening to it. So here it is!

He possesses a diversity that stirs within you a million different feelings: sorrow, anguish, love, yearning…

And then there is the guitar solo with Led Zeppelin-tinged licks that provide an eclectic development of sound throughout the entire song."

A review of 'UFO' by The FML Blog:

"UFO is deceptively slow, it lulls you into a sense of security before kicking you into a musical riot, not entirely against your will though.

Orchestral, verging on classical before being shattered by the echoing of gritty, grungy guitars. Wright’s voice crying out over the beautiful composed musical arrangement that flits between genres so effortlessly. Long and soothing and with that kick that keeps you listening to the very last chord"

A review of 'UFO' by The Vinegar Tits Blog:

"UFO is an epic track, full of light and shade, pressure and release. The tender, densely textured opening movement of guitar and strings welcomes us warmly before the mood switches with an intense barrage of jagged guitar and drums – like meteors crashing into frozen seas – and a vocal performance both delicate and raw. The interplay between these temperaments gives the song a tense atmosphere, which builds to a peak of strident drums, rolling bass and a guitar solo that probes the frets at first before unleashing a brief frenzy of assured riffing. The final movement echoes the opening, offering us comfort and space to breathe, and encourages us to go back to the start and press play again."

A review of 'UFO' on Echoes and Dust by Gilbert Potts:

"The song builds gently from slow arpeggios and synth strings that calm and sooth before launching into a raw and tense chorus with a great air of angst. Rather than rely on one element to create that contrast and shift, Wright blends variations in pace, instrumentation, vocals, volume and production that work together to create the light and shade.
There is plenty of passion and character to the slightly nasally and warbling vocals – more that you often find at the higher end on male singers. Dare I say a bit Jeff Buckley a couple of tones lower.
It's a long song for this style but avoids feeling like it's going over the same old ground time and time again with enough surprises and variation thrown in."
