old faces in a new crowd

I and I am told
Burning up your soul
There's a hole 
Where your money and your ego flow
When your tummy funny 
Don't know how to enjoy
And your head explodes

I and I is sold
This story's getting old
It's a shame
History repeat itself again
When the myths they blossom out
And shout a loud insane and proud

I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone lose your mind
Hang up the phone
I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone with you

I and I am told
Burning up your soul
There's a hole 
Where your money and your ego flow
When your tummy funny 
Don't know how to enjoy
And your head explodes

Try and try to hold
Some sanity unfold
It's an old and moldy throne
That the kings in line never let go
Debunk debunking theorists
Not thinking quite the clearest
Let go of what you think you know

I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone lose your mind
Hang up the phone
I and I alone
Move your body pick up the phone
I and I alone with you

And the tides of time are washing away

I and I alone with you

I And I Alone

I'll take what I can get
I'll take whatever life throws my way
Destiny always finds a way
I won't waste another day

Surprise
It's such a waste  
Yet it's hard to lie
And hard to face
'Reality's nowt but a thin skim of ice
Upon a deep dark lake of infinite strife
'Cos we're living in a dream that's out of sight
And life adds up to nothing

The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny
The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny

The power of the possible weakens the walls
Of the forces of negatives squeezing our balls
Society's fabric an intricate tapestry
Obliging such fragile and rotting deep therapy
Destiny always finds a way
I won't waste another day

Surprise
It's such a waste
The sin of pride
It's hard to hide
Nothing is for free

Never look back and you never think twice
Though you're trapped in thoughts like your head's in a vice
In the lattice of time worn out and bare
Seek refuge in re-cycled memories there

The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny
The veil of secrecy
Can't really fool me
This presence of mind
A true destiny


Destiny

Asian Dub Foundation - Money (ROMAY REMIX)

Loved this tune for years but had always found the mix down quite poor and had always wanted the drums to have some balls to them. So, heres my version. Not brilliant as i struggled with the pitch up in tempo on the original. But it'll do for the old crusty crew dem.x

From the album RAVING FOR THE UNDERDOG!

You're in my head 
In my heart.....

Youʼre in my head 
Thought Iʼd bolted the door 
Thought Iʼd shuttered the windows 
Lay down flat on the floor 
But I blink, stumble, shatter shatter 
Blank! 
What's the matter matter? 
In through the back door 
Rattlin the cat flap 
Splittin my mind 
Make my heart go crack!

Don't ever be afraid to say what you feel 
In the morning sun 
Still waiting for a new day coming 
Not gonna spend my whole life running 
Away from the truth 
That your in my head 
Still hear the echoʼs of the things you said... 

You take me to the morning
Take me thru’ the night
You take me where you will
Such sweet delight
One look in your eyes
You take me by surprise
You’re everything I want in life.....

The world’s gone hazy
You’re driving me crazy now
You’re everything I want
But I can’t get you somehow
The world’s gone hazy
You’re driving me crazy now
You’re everything I want
Won’t you be here in this morning time
You're everything I want in life.....

Catflap (You're in my head)

This is the first EP Single ever released by GBOA 1987


I'm feeling hot believe that I am on fire
Better blow away the flames this aini't my pyre
You put the lights on baby when things were looking dim
I'm not American yet but what a state I'm in
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
I know that life is such a tangled web to weave
And we have a pact together that you would never leave
We were up and down and up and down like bird high in a tree
It was a good loving don't need psychiatry
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
So groovy so groovy so groovy so groovy now
But then the bubble burst and I could give no more
You threw away a part of me you walked toward the door
Things were sweet though it was difficult to tell
I was up in heaven but you plunged me into hell
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm falling
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
So groovy so groovy so groovy so groovy now
You said how can I love you with no money in my pocket
You promised me the stars but you ain't got a rocket
You put the lights on baby when things were looking dim
I'm not American yet but what a state I'm in
Everything's groovy baby
Everything's groovy baby now
Ten miles high and I'm falling
Ten miles high and I'm groovy
Now that you're gone, Not groovy
So groovy so groovy so groovy now

Everything's Groovy Baby

This is the first EP Single ever released by GBOA 1987

I would only like to find a way
To surf upon life's cathode ray
Sitting with the lobsters on the beach
Bored with realty's only sense to preach
The waves are low 
They need to be high
To stun the no life passer by
It's too late they've done the damage 
Didn't wanna be a TV cabbage
Beam me out on a satellite link
Let me tell the world I think it stinks
The goofy footed Hollywood balls
Always seems to know what's going on
Image failure comes the cry
From the no life passers by
It's too late they've done the damage 
Didn't wanna be a TV cabbage
Anatol is totally beyond your reach
Surf's up everybody's on the beach
You'd better hang ten in the surfing air
I think the waves there if someone cares
Image failure comes the cry
From the no life passers by
It's too late they've done the damage 
Didn't wanna be a TV cabbage
Don't be a no-life , get off your ass

And I heard the sound as my feet hit the ground
And I'm walking on air like I knew I should
I should be taken in hand
By the girl with no plans
If she behaves we can feed
And her shop is encrust
I got a trip from a rancid ship
A hurricane from an open brain
And we're proud of these
A Los Tyranny's so we can pick out again
And stick my feet in the terrain
And then drain, drives you insane
And I said don't tell me
When Jilly was told she was a six years old
She had fun with the pliers, snipping the wires
Better take out her teeth
Throw em in the reef
Another public health on the satanic pulse
She's eating heads everywhere
Her eyes afraid and her skin is grey
We better let her rest, transmission set
And in a state of hate
She can correct her ways
Always , no ways
Take out her teeth , and take a tooth to the roofs again
And we can steal the pride from our worn out friends
We can touch his hat and then laugh at the act
From the rim of his festering skin
And communion halls religious balls
They're murdering peers in their later years
They make you greed for the things you don't need
Like acid showers and nuclear powers
Let the master rest upon my chest 
And get the violin and we can start to sin
The reverend sees the diocese
Like a sanctuary for the home of disease
And you can bang your head
Bang your head to this
Now we stare at the doors and the windows and floors
We come up again as the horse hits the bling
Gods reading loot on the end of my boot
While another dog dies you forgot to tie 
Relax don't pay the tax we've got nothing to lose 
We can live as we choose
It's such a waste , when you're playing with fate
Right above your station with (radiation)
Contain those lips, watch it slip
And shuffle around on Sabrina's hips
The hour glass feeling bad
Drinking mescaline from the dead girls skin
And sickness signs supporting crime
Homogenous in your home of trust
Is this a dream
On the TV screen 
Can I kill the teens in New Orleans
Kkkkkkkilller teens in New Orleans


Killer Teens In New Orleans- (Joy Toy Remix)

4 Track compilation of some rare and remixed studio tracks 

Don't look to the floor cos you'll see that it needs sweeping
You see those stone walls they turn into sand
And you find your body slipping
Desert turn into a forest
Your learned by the screaming trees
Help us find a cure they cry for the roundabout
Ben watch that roundabout my friend
Ben tell me what's it all about
I can't pretend
It's they way you drive me round the bend.
Don't look a soul deep into the eye cos you'll see that the soul is crying
Twisted times you finally find you gotta resurrect whats dying
A desert turns into a forest
A brace yourself its back leg a lie
Hear the guitars in the distance
Watch the skin emit those rays
A future pear is nearly hear
Relieve the tension, relive your yesterdays
Ben watch that roundabout my friend
Ben won't you tell me what its all about my friend
Hear the guitars in the distance
Watch your skin emit those rays
A memory a melody so why don't we relive our yesterdays today
Look to the floor see that it needs sweeping
Your body moves but your mind is slipping
Dog holler lost its flavor
Two finger levi sister
Ben's a guy with four wheeled spaceship
Smokin' herb with Johnny and the Kray twins
Wait until his gone chop his dreads off
Kiss his head still reading pathos
Stoop to kill spread the head
Really don't matter what you said
Clapping hands will never catch you
You turned into a dream scene

I turn my computer on
I know that faith moves mountains
We come bak from back beyond 
You'll feel the pressure mounting
Desert turns into a forest
Dogs learn new tricks each day

Earth stream twee and twine
Wave freaked out an cloud my mind
She said peace and then I kissed her
Looked back and then unzipped her
Crash blocked on a bender
Here's Tony on his Fender
Into the forest walk this
Walk my friend this way

Don't look to the floor cos you'll see that it needs sweeping
You've gotta get out onto the floor there's no use in sleeeping
Hear the guitars in the distance
Watch the skin emit those rays

My dawn bride fails is damp and pail
I sit around and see the dead dogs wail
I been around in violent skies
Too many hateful youth too many hateful eyes


Ben, Watch That Roundabout

The last album released by GBOA in 1990

We're lost in music no turning back
Caught in a trap we're lost in music
Wisdom brings humility in this tortured 20th century
Which began as a golden age but now stumbles to suicide
As men see no purpose in their lives
They eat they drink they make merry
For tomorrow they will die and now know why
Can you see the purpose
As we go into terminal overload my head explodes
Disinformation rise and shine
Swallowed by the misery extinguishing the vitriol
Have you got the time
Another crack in a pulpit sings about the mad rush to mass destruction
That's inherent the errant ways of man
The material fuels the infernal consumer boom the bolshy shoom
Can you see the purpose rise and shine
As we go into terminal overload my head explodes
Disinformation rise and shine
Swallowed by the misery extinguishing the vitriol
Making up for lost time
Like a landscape gardener creates new boundaries
We've ran the race we're lost in space
Suspended in this galaxy
Can you see the purpose rise and shine
Sow the seed you gotta dig deep 
Sow the seed you gotta reap
As we go into terminal overload my head explodes
Disinformation rise and shine
Swallowed by the misery extinguishing the vitriol
You gotta take the time
You gotta be more positive 
Use your intellect


Disinformation Rise And Shine

Subway to venus with beans
Is everybody in
The ceremony is ago to begin
So far out of sight sends me out of my mind
The further I'm away I find
It's just a matter of relative space
I close my eyes and I…
Not close enough for comfort my dreams away
I'm burning in the basement behind the pearly gates
When I visit seventh heaven it's all because of the night
Belongs to you and I via sattelite
Close to the truth the truth that hurts
Close to the rhythm close to the dirt
Bending over backwards you cannot hide
You're breaking through to the other side
The other side of what the other side of when
The other side of us the other side of them
Righteousness reassess like a man possessed
It's just a matter of relative space
Close your eyes and we're face to face
Close to the power you never realized
Break it on through to the other side
The other side of what the other side of when
The other side of us the other side of them
Righteousness reassess like a man possessed


Falling Fruit

The last album released by GBOA in 1990

Ice house on a pale shore line
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Here in wonder's where the wild  lips  grow
Down a sun baked stony road
Dusty wheels dealing in the sun
Patterned out owls where the lizards run
Stormy shadow with a fig tree fan
Ridden by ants musing over man
Musing over man
Bang your head on the bedroom floor
Head for the light when the vision calls
Swing your hips lick your lips
Wait until dawn and the party shifts
When push comes to shove open up don't smother love
Scented lust bicameral mind
Searching high and low you'll find
The flower lady's daughter as sweet as holy water
Pulled apart she sends me into a petal frenzy
Mash it up metal shoe shine
Born again it's judgment time
The sun's coming up from the daisy age
She comes in colours
Tainted love bound by a circle
Tainted love is the way that this earth moves
Sunsets fade
You don't get paid
Impaled upon the nail you made
The flower lady's daughter as sweet as holy water
Pulled apart she sends me into a petal frenzy
Mash it up metal shoe shine
Born again it's judgment time
The sun's coming up from the daisy age
She comes in colours centre stage
Don't you know that the girls of the road
Like the …………….
Been around the virtual truth
Unlike the poisoned quill of youth
Dog harbor lost it's flavor
Stone ready or not on your own
The flower lady's daughter as sweet as holy water
Pulled apart she sends me into a petal frenzy
Mash it up metal shoe shine
Born again it's judgment time
The sun's coming up from the daisy age
She comes in colours centre stage
Covered in colours centre stage

He who controls the spice reaches out for longer life
Holy war a line of salt
Scent of tuna gain in gold
Come from land in overseas
Fulfill their prophecy
Not get even there's no score
The homeless and the hungry come on down
Better wear yourself a smile keep your eyeballs in line
Don't wear a frown
He who controls the spice reaches out for longer life
Holy war a line of salt
Scent of tuna gain in gold
Come from land in overseas
Fulfill their prophecy
Not get even there's no score
Come down see who's right
See who's fighting to see the light
Who was wrong who was right
Lay odds have fun tonight (lobotomy)

Radiation-John Wayne's A Fag

The last album released by GBOA in 1990

Leaders of the world today
Don't let the people have their say
The folly when your dreams suppressed
Kick out the jams no better than this
The things they do  the things that they say
Don't let them walk over you that way
When violence rears it's ugly head
Bang bang bang another leader's dead
You're saving up to save yourself
Don't really care about none else
Children in this careless state
Don't be blinded by the hate
That leads the foolish man to war
Don't be blinded
The things you do the things that they say
Don't let them trip you up that way
Bang bang are we so easily led
Like a messenger of the perfect day
Sons and daughters of the earth divide
Hide and seek and find the devil's speak
You know that energy shall shine
Scumbags of the world unite
Redeem yourselves and shine the light
Roll out the carpet smell the rose
Life's no fun when your mind is closed
Another's pride another's shame
Another's loss is another's gain
Bang bang bang am I out of my head
We're saving up to save ourself
Don't really care about none else
Someone's got to save us
Save us from ourselves
Save us from our sins
Can't blame none else

S.O.S

We're living for today
No looking back
If this was video
We could forward all the crap
You've lost all self control
Grumble number one
The sun'll cleanse your soul
Let it crawl back to sublime
Avarice and greed
Nostalgia through your veins
It ain't crack that I need
To make things feel the same
Races In the tube it's a blast from the past
Today ain't yesterday and you're growing up fast
Virus ridden land 
Who's calling who
Things are out of hand
Or is it just a touch of flu ?
Wisdom in a box
In the age of chance
A living paradox
So much for teenage angst
