bamber Posted August 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) A tune I grew up with.. My brothers and sisters, they build you up But now that you reach the top, yeah You don't remember them Through material things But remember, high seat killed Miss Thomas' puss And the greedy dog lose his bone Through the reflections of his own shadow But your shabby reaction Say you're too damn craven Watch that But the needy shall not always be forgotten Everything you run down 'pon And the expectation of the poor shall not perish Note: "High seat killed Miss Thomas' puss" is a somewhat obscure Jamaican proverb with the same theme as "Greedy dog lose his bone." The abstract meaning is that the cat of Miss Thomas, climbs up on a seat that is too high and then gets killed. The moral of both proverbs: the greedy may lose everything.

Seemed like a good idea in 1979. Misty in Roots - Awesome in every way. Still around.... Where the hell is Mekudeshet?

bamber Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 This is probably my 2nd favourite tune from 1979, it's a tough choice, this would be 2nd though. I remember it like yesterday... I have listened to this a lot. Wait for the second wind dub... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamber Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) This is my 1st favourite of course, Opening tune on Survival. Never was a 70s pop song so prescient and true today. And it just rolls. Edited August 12, 2018 by bamber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamber Posted August 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 This is circa 1979. No year on the label, but someone has written the word "cock" on the copy they photographed here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
