Remember Desmond Dekker and Israelites?

Very difficult lyrics to understand. Just came across this -

03-02-2010

Rated 0 This was used in a very funny 1980s ad for Maxell cassettes - a man was shown standing in the street holding hand-written cards with lyrics on them, à la Bob Dylan. The written lyrics were as follows:

"Get up in the morning
Sleeping for bed, sir
Sold out to every monk and beef-head
Oh! Oh!
Me ears are alight!

"Why find me kids?
They buck up and a-leave me
Darling cheese-head
It was yards too greasy
Oh! Oh!
Me ears are alight!"

and finally

"At least I think that's what he said.
But I'll have to hear it on Maxell to be sure!"

I look at the various song lyrics sites more and more often to find out what songs are actually saying. Is that a sign of becoming less young?

I do it a lot too... just out of interest.

If you look up the actual lyrics of this one you'll find different versions.
