  1. So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

    Racing around to come up behind you again.

    The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

  2.  

    Know your place in life is where you want to be

    Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me

    Keep on looking forward; no use in looking 'round

    Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

     

    Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind

    A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind

    We marvel after those who sought

    New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,

    Wonders in the world they wrought.

     

    Live for yourself -- there's no one else

    More worth living for

    Begging hands and bleeding hearts will

    Only cry out for more

     

    Well, I know they've always told you

    Selfishness was wrong

    Yet it was for me, not you, I

    Came to write this song

  3. by Peter Tosh

     

    Mama, mama, dem hold papa,

    Say they charge him fe' smoke ganja.

    If me never jump the fence dem hold me too,

    So tell me mama, what we gonna do?

     

    Oh, mama, whatcha gonna do now?

    Oh, mama, whatcha gonna do?

    Oh, mama, whatcha gonna do now?

    Oh, mama, whatcha gonna do?

     

    Next week, next week is the case.

    Him have a dread judge to face.

    Him ha' fe' either see in space

    Or make the doctor man work on him face.

     

    Chorus

     

    Next door neighbor, dem hold your son,

    They say they find him with one gun,

    An' there's no need to mention

    Him going to get an indefinite detention.

     

    Chorus

     

    Him know nobody

    So him ha' fe' remain in custody.

    Him see Babylon, him stand up an' screw,

    Say, him never knew it was a curfew.

  4.  

    Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day

    You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.

    Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town

    Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.

     

    Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.

    You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

    And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.

    No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

     

    So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking

    Racing around to come up behind you again.

    The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,

    Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.

     

    Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.

    Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines

    Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way

    The time is gone, the song is over,

    Thought I'd something more to say

     

    Home, home again.

    I like to be here when I can.

    When I come home cold and tired

    It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.

    Far away across the field

    The tolling of the iron bell

    Calls the faithful to their knees

    To hear the softly spoken magic spells.

     

     

  5. "Look mummy, there's an aeroplane up in the sky"

     

    Did you see the frightened ones?

    Did you hear the falling bombs?

    Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the

    promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue

    sky?

     

    Did you see the frightened ones?

    Did you hear the falling bombs?

    The flames are all gone, but the pain lingers on.

     

    Goodbye, blue sky

    Goodbye, blue sky.

    Goodbye.

    Goodbye.

    Goodbye.
