Millie Small - You better forget

Millie Small - My Boy Lollipop

(1964)

You made my heart go giddy up
You are as sweet as candy
You're my sugar dandy

Ha, ho, my boy lollipop
Never ever leave me
Because it would grieve me
My heart told me so

I love ya, I love ya, I love ya so
That I want ya to know
I need ya, I need ya, I need ya so
And I'll never let you go

My boy lollipop
You make my heart go giddy up
You set my world on fire
You are my one desire

My boy lollipop
My boy lollipop

You made my heart go giddy up
You are as sweet as candy

Millie Small - Be my guest

Come on baby and be my guest
Come here to party and meet the rest
Everything gonna be all right
So be my guest tonight

We're gonna dance to the rock 'n' roll
We're gonna even do the stroll
We're gonna Lindy Hop and Suzy Q
It's a special party just for you

My, my-oh-mine, gee you're so fine
Don't let me down
I'm the king but you can wear my crown
I'm gonna sing, my band gonna play
I'm gonna make you queen for a day
Everything gonna be all right
So be my guest tonight

My, my-oh-mine, gee you're so fine
Don't let me down
I'm the king but you can wear my crown
I'm gonna sing, my band gonna play
I'm gonna make you queen for a day
Everything gonna be all right
So be my guest tonight

Millie Small - Carry Go Bring Come

All this carry go bring come my dear
Bring misery
All this carry go bring come my dear
It bring misery
Going from home to home
Making disturbances

It's time you stop fooling yourself
You old Jezebel
The strong shall inherit the earth
You old Jezebel
It needs no light to see
That you're making disturbances
It's better to speak the truth
And use a wise tongue
It's better than bringing oppression
Upon an innocent man
But time will tell on you
You old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over the people
I said how long shall the wicked reign over the people

La la la la la la la la la la la............

Desmond Dekker - Carry Go Bring Come

All this carry go bring come my dear
Bring misery
All this carry go bring come my dear
It bring misery
Going from home to home
Making disturbances

It's time you stop fooling yourself
You old Jezebel
The strong shall inherit the earth
You old Jezebel
It needs no light to see
That you're making disturbances
It's better to speak the truth
And use a wise tongue
It's better than bringing oppression
Upon an innocent man
But time will tell on you
You old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over the people
I said how long shall the wicked reign over the people

La la la la la la la la la la la............

The Selecter - Carry Go Bring Come

Peel Session 10/9/1979.

All this carry go bring come my dear
Bring misery
All this carry go bring come my dear
It bring misery
Going from home to home
Making disturbances

It's time you stop fooling yourself
You old Jezebel
The strong shall inherit the earth
You old Jezebel
It needs no light to see
That you're making disturbances
It's better to speak the truth
And use a wise tongue
It's better than bringing oppression
Upon an innocent man
But time will tell on you
You old Jezebel
How long shall the wicked reign over the people
I said how long shall the wicked reign over the people

La la la la la la la la la la la............

The Selecter - Out On The Streets

Out on the streets again
Looking for something
It just don't matter now I don't wanna care
I want to have some fun
Make a connection
I feel like a roller coaster
I don't wanna stop
Let's go somewhere, I don't know where lets go
Somewhere exciting
White lies and amber lighting
Try to seduce me
I don't wanna go there again
Don't wanna go, don't wanna go
But it's the only place to go oh oh
There's gonna be trouble I know oh oh
Don't wanna know don't wanna know oh oh

The Selecter - The Selecter

Apparently the first single by The Selecter with the homonymous song. The song was on the opposite side of the first single by The Specials: "Gangsters". It was 1979. It was the dawning of a new era.

The Selecter - Too Much Pressure and Pressure Drop

Live.

Too Much pressure

Too Much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure

Too much pressure, this pressure got to stop
Too much pressure, it's getting to my head
Too much pressure, they're giving me hard times
Too much pressure, my man made me sad
Too much pressure, him try to make me look small
Too much pressure, end up with no money
Too much pressure, my car fail its MOT
Too much pressure, I said my car fail its MOT

Too much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure, too much pressure
Too Much pressure, Him fumble up a woman
Too much pressure, my life's so hard
Too much pressure, and all them certain kind of people
Too much pressure, them having it easy
Too much pressure, them having it easy
Too much pressure, them sail through life
Too much pressure, them have no joy
Too much pressure, them have no joy
It's too much pressure, it's too much pressure

This pressure got to stop
This pressure got to stop
This pressure got to stop
It's got to stop, it's got to stop....

Too much pressure, oh lord oh lord
Too much pressure, oh what me a go do

Too much pressure, oh lord oh lord
Too much pressure, somebody help me
Too much pressure, it's too much pressure
Too much pressure, it's too much pressure
This pressure got to stop............

The Selecter - Missing Words

Last night when I told you all that stuff about the way things are
You didn't understand a word, but you said you did
Now I'm not the honest Joe I might seem, I can't take your lies
It's late, I'm tired, your words just crackle along the wire
You got a problem baby, it's all over now
You thought you had it made,
It's over, It's over, It's over

It just don't make sense, the way you did the things you did
You might have thought that I was dumb, but I'm all wised up
Game's up, move on, why don't you get out my hair
I wonder if you ever did really care

Missing words, Missing words
It's just missing words, missing words etc.

The Selecter - They make me mad

They used those fancy words to confuse your mind
But since I never did no elocution rhymes
Made me think that everything they said was fine
So I nod and wink and smile
I said I understood
I went all the way
Giving up myself to their philosophy
Now that things have changed
I make my mind up for myself
I look back on all those words
There’s little meaning in their sound
They make me mad
They make me mad
Mindless confusion makes me mad
Look beyond people
Untie your hands
You’re living in a time of shifting sands
Fights are happening in other lands
Now I shake my head and frown
I’m getting off my knees
I’m gonna teach myself
A new philosophy
Have things really changed?
Do I make my mind up for myself?
I look back on all those words
There's little meaning in their sound
They make me mad
They make me mad
Mindless confusion
Makes me mad

The Selecter - On My Radio

I bought my baby a red radio
He played it all day a-go-go a-go-go
He liked to dance to it down in the streets
He said he loved me but he loved the beat

But when I switch on I rotate the dial
I could see it there driving him so wild
I bought my baby a red radio
He said he loved me but he had to go

(Refrão):
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
On my radio on my radio on my radio

I bought my baby a red radio
He played it all day a-go-go a-go-go
He liked to dance to it down in the streets
He said he loved me but he loved the beat

(Refrão 2x)

It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio
It's just the same old show on my radio...

I bought my baby a red radio
A red radio a-go-go a-go-go
A red radio I rotate the dial
A red radio driving him so wild
A red radio he had to go
