dub hop

dub hop

...one by one they're all coming down
and you can ask me when you want - but don't ask me now
just like a secret agent - with the gadgets and gun
got time to save the world - ad maybe have a little fun
said stop don't look now
you wouldn't if you could now
now step right back
the mission stays on track
cos its all about the feeling
and you can't appreciate that
sit back! relax! / chill-out! lay back!

two by two brother noah shipped them out
and the fact that there was water was never in doubt
but has the story changed just a little over time
or could it be the ageing of the human mind
said stop don't look now
you wouldn't if you could now
now step right back
the mission stays on track
cos its all about the feeling
and you can't appreciate that
sit back! relax! / chill-out! lay back!

born in three the bad luck always comes
but if you're living like that then you're always doin' sums
just adding up - all the bad things that have passed
and waiting for karma to come an kick your ass...
said stop don't look now
you wouldn't if you could now
now step right back
the mission stays on track
cos its all about the feeling
and you can't appreciate that
sit back! relax! / chill-out! lay back!

lifted from the fatbwoi songbook (circa 2007)...

[actually, splitting hairs its strictly speaking a 'roscoe' tune, but it came about during the transition period between r time and bwoi time...]  


...woke up singing this the other day, considering doing a re-recording of it 'cos the riff itself is pretty funky (and a bit dubby, but more the kind of mashed through the fatbwoi-filter-and-a-triplet-added-kinda-dub than the more traditional sort... naturally), it had a lead riff too (well minimalist by this one's standards)!!!

it would appear that i lifted the 'sit back/relax' section...

who'd make it so hard?!? 8)
