Line up the playlist, sisters and brothers. Let out all that misery and injustice.

Here's Max Romeo in a studio, the first and still the best of the lot. Give praises.

My children thought I'd gone round the twist when I started them on Max Romeo but they caught on eventually.

What on earth did you tie them to?

Yes they're both great but I've seen neither on stage. Nor have I seen Burning Spear though I'd quite like to if I get a chance.

I saw Burning Spear in Dunstable Back in 1984. Excellent performance. I have also seen Yellowman and Eekamouse.

Linton Kwesi Johnson is also an old favourite of mine.

Givin' out my warning...

And now you rich people listen to me

Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming, coming up on you

Your riches have rotted away and your clothes have been eaten by moth

Your gold and silver is covered with rust

And this rust will be witness against you and eat up your flesh like fire

You have piled up your riches in these last days

But heads a go roll down Sandy Gully one of these days, heads a go roll down Sandy Gully. That's what Marcus says.

Your life here on earth have been filled with luxury and pleasure

You have made yourself fat for the day of slaughter

You've not paid the men that work in your fields

The cries of those that gather your crops have reached the ears of Jah, Jah Almighty

Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully one of these days, heads a go roll down Sandy Gully. That's what Marcus says.

Dog up a Beverley Hills a eat T-bone steak an' drink cornflakes

While poor people in the ghetto a rake an' scrape to get a cake

Be patient my brother be patient as a farmer is patient

As he waits for the autumn and the spring rains to water his crops

You also must be patient and keep your hopes up high

Happy are those who greatest desire is to do what Jah Jah require

Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully one of these days, heads a go roll down Sandy Gully. That's what Marcus says.

Bald head a go roll down Sandy Gully one of these days

Heads a go roll down Sandy Gully that's what Marcus says

I say you look, you look, you look and you can't see

I said you listen, you listen, you listen and you can't hear
