People love you
Cos your message is strong
So let’s raise our voices
Let’s raise our voices
Let’s sing to the messenger
The message
That you delivered
Told us how we should be
We should treat each other
As we would be treated
Oooh Oooh Oooh
You are admired for your enviable strength
The forgiving heart you showed to the world
You faced the demons of oppression with grace
Freed a nation through unparalled love
Now your celebratory moon has risen
Your name will live on in history
With many more you fought for the freedom
That’s given like breath at the time of our birth
Yea Madiba

Cos your message is strong
So let’s raise our voices
Let’s raise our voices
Let’s sing to the messenger
The pimpernel
A saint or an icon
Whatever name is given to you
You bear each one with great humility
But Nelson Mandela says all about you
Yea Madiba

I was catching up with my babe
When I saw you coming down the road
I thought
Mercy mama
Don't let it get me
I got a happy life at home
But as sure as it is
You passed me
Of course
I had to look
And as I turned my head
I knew right then
I was gonna have to do it again
Chorus:
And I was singing
Mercy
Mercy mama
Don't you dare let it get me
I love the ones I love
And if I stray
It's gonna hurt
I was drinking beer with a close friend
When I saw you walking in the room
I thought
Mercy me
I can't keep running
You're gonna get me
Ooh
As wrong as this is
You touched me
Of course
You had me hooked
And as I kissed your lips
I knew right then
I was gonna have to do it again
Chorus
I was sitting down with my sweetheart
Making out I was sincere
I thought
Mercy me
I can't keep a-lying
I got to get the air clear
As long as you stay with me
Forget the whole affair
I promise you
I'll be true
I'm never gonna do it again
Chorus

Ma-Me-0-beach
The kind of place
That I like to be
Running on the sand
Or just
Lying in my baby's arms
I can't swim
But I like the sea
So I'm going down
To Ma-Me-0-beach
I'm taking my babe
Gone in the water
While I'm sunning on the floor
I hear you call me in
But I'd drown for sure
Don't mean
Maybe
Some like the tan
But they don't like the sun
Me I'm brown enough
In fact
I'm over done
Turn me over
Pretty girls are there
If you're good with the chat
all kinds of games
If you fancy that
Some like to swim
Some like to watch
Some come to make up the crowd
And that's a fact

I was born on an Island
St Kitts
In a little biddy town
Had a mama and a papa
4 brothers and a sister
Mama papa told us
Play hard
Fight fair
Live life
And love the Lord
I said love the Lord
Said love the Lord
Their choice was
The United Kingdom living in Birmingham
When they wanted to spread their wings and fly away
7 people in one room
No heat
One wage
And bills to pay
I said bills to pay
Gotta pay those bills
Now when you're walking on heaven's floor
Talking in the ear of God
What you gonna say to the man
When he asks you what you've done
Can you say you did your very best
With what you had
Like my mama and my papa
I know two people who served up love
And a whole lot more
They made us hold our sides with laughter all night long
Oh they made us laugh
Until we cried
Till we begged them stop
Or we'll split our sides
Now when you're walking on heaven's floor
Talking in the ear of God
What you gonna say to the man
When he asks you what you've done
Can you say you did your very best
With what you had
Like my mama and my papa

I sit here by myself
And you know I love it
You know I don't want someone
To come pay a visit
I wanna be by myself
I came in this world alone
Me myself I
I want to go to China
And to see Japan
I'd like to sail the oceans
Before the seas run dry
I wanna go
By myself
I've just room enough for
One
Me myself I
I wanna be a big shot
And have ninety cars
I wanna have a boyfriend
And a girl
For laughs
But only on Saturday
Six days to be alone
With me myself I
Me myself and I
Just me myself I
Don't want to be the bad guy
Don't want to make a soul cry
It's not that I love myself
I just don't want company
Except
Me
Myself
I
Me myself ... and I
Just me myself I

(lyrics by Pam Nestor)
You hear me cry out
Won't you save me
You smile to my face
Yet still deprave me
I need truth
You're a mean old man alright
In this semi-mad world
It's best not to think
Row a leaky boat
And you're bound to sink
You laugh with your mouth
But your eyes don't blink
You're a mean old man alright
But the lord above
He knows that you lie
And your false complexion's
Just another alibi
You laugh with your mouth
But your eyes don't blink
And I'm sure glad I've seen through you
And it seems all my friends
Are coming to
You spell me green
Though the colours blue
The debt collector
Has his eyes on you
- Albums: What's Inside
You're selling emotions
That I can't buy
Don't want the sadness
Price is far too high
And I don't want
I don't need your packaged lies
I've got too much in store
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
Selling heaven here on earth
I've bought pain and measures
Of pure heartache
I've had all I can take
I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With a full guarantee
I'd travel
Miles and miles and miles
To find the place
With treasures
Much more rich than gold
I just want a heart
That captures my soul
And I'm willing to wait
I'm willing to wait
For lasting pleasure
With promises
That won't ever break
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
Someone help me
Find the merchant of love
With a full guarantee

(lyrics by Pam Nestor)
Mister so you have to go away
I love you like
A sister/mother/wife
And should you not return
I guess I'll love you
All my life
Mister it's so very hard
To say goodbye
I love you yesterday
Today until I die
You think you have to run
Before you really wanna stay
But if you wanna go
You'd better go
I'll place an extra pillow
On my double bed
If on your travels
You need a place
To rest your weary head
Remember me
Mister it's so very hard
To say goodbye
I love you yesterday
Today until I die
And should you not return
I guess I'll love you
All my life

There's a lot of things you should hold dear
Keep in your heart
Never let go
Never let go
Never let go
Pride and dignity
A sense of self
Hold on
When that boy leaves
And you need someone to turn to
When you feel alone
You will know you're not alone
If you've been true
To all who are true to you
You'll make it
You'll make it fine
If you remember your friends
Just remember you can call
Just remember that passion fades
Good friendships seldom die
Go ahead have your fun
But don't turn your back on everyone
Though the body needs love
There is more than one kind
More
More than one kind of love
There is more
More than one kind
Yes he fills your heart
Fills your mind
He's all you want
All you need
Everything
Everything
Everything but
Love that's that exclusive
That obsessive
Can hurt
When that love pales
And becomes human emotion
Where will you go
If you've neglected those you know
But if you stay true
To those who are true to you
You'll make it
You'll make it fine
If you remember your friends
Just remember you can call
Just remember that passion fades
Good friendships seldom die
Go ahead have your fun
But don't turn your back on everyone
Though the body needs love
There is more than one kind
More
More than one kind of love
There is more
More than one kind

Here comes the glare
Here comes the glare
I cannot see
I cannot see
When you appear
You dazzle
Poor me
Pity on me
Why don't I know
How to make
Those moves
I picked your face
From a thousand smiles
And now the knees
They start to shake
And all the people
Take a look
And once again
I'm thinking
Poor me
Pitiful me
Why don't I know
How to make those moves
I picked your face
From a thousand smiles
And stand there
Vacant
Rooted to the
Stupid floor
And too scared to think
Get out the door
Water
Running
Down my back
Is this what it's like
Before the soldiers attach
I'm gonna sharpen up my act
I'm gonna get ya
Poor me
Pity for me
Why don't I know
How to make
Those moves
I picked your face
From a thousand smiles
Trying to be
The invisible man
And so scared
In case you don't see
Who I am
I don't want the label
Of an also ran
I wanna be the guy
With the flowers
And the champagne
Other guys
Run around
They pick and choose
I choose you
And I don't want to lose
I want you
To alleviate my blues
Just as long as you talk to me
Just as long as you talk to me
Poor me
Pity on me
Why don't I know
How to make
Those moves
I picked your face
From a thousand smiles
Why don't I know how to
Make you mine

Come back baby come back

Don't you know I love everything about you and I forgive everything that you do
From your head down to your toes
And your little button nose
You got a way about you
I love the rhythm in your soul
And there's rhythm in blues
Hey Yea Come back baby come back

Don't you know
I Can't live without you

I Can't live without you
Come back baby come back
Come back baby come back

(lyrics by Pam Nestor)
Have you met my family
Wouldn't take long
To know them well
Though they number
From one to a million
In this house we all dwell
Say hello to Jo
She's a goddess
And to Paul he is a saint
And to Adam he's from the forest
And to Jane all day she paints
You ask me how I feed them
Well I will tell you no lie
Tis Ann she brings the sunshine
And you can see it in her eyes
John he tends the gardens
Little David sows the seeds
Our manna is from heaven
Here's Peter he is a piper
And they will never grow old
So I bid you welcome
Welcome brothers
Welcome to the fold.
