Tributo a Ranking Roger, venuto a mancare recentemente. Aveva 56 anni, era il cantante dei THE BEAT, la 2tone Ska band anni 80. A gennaio aveva pubblicato l'ultimo album: “Public Confidential”. RIP Rude boy.
In questo video del 1982 i The Beat si esibivano in TV all' O.T.T. ...era il 27 marzo 1982.
The English Beat - Stand Down Margaret : testo / lyrics:
I said I see no joy
I see only sorry
I see no chance of your bright new tomorrow
So stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down down down down down
Down down down down down
I say stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down down down down down
Down down down down down
Stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
Down down down down down
[Instrumental]
You tell me how can it work
In this all white law
What a short sharp lesson,
What a third world war
I sometimes wonder
If I'll ever get the chance
Just to sit with my children
In a holiday jam
Our lives seem petty in your cold grey hands
Would you give a second thought
Would you ever give a damn, I doubt it
Stand down Margaret
Awar!
Everybody shout it
Stand down Margaret!
[Instrumental]
Work, white law
Shell shock
World war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
War, war, war, war, war
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret
Stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret
I say stand down Margaret
Stand down please
Stand down Margaret
