Glam Rock : Suzi Quatro répond à Marc Bolan

Lyrics :
Met a woman she's spouting prose
She's got luggage eyes and a roman nose
Her body is slung from side to side
Need a lift she said much obliged
I'm riding piggy-back
Then I come to her shack
We go inside the place is a mess
She said my name's the liquid poetess
She unties her mouth
And her buckskin dress
She drinks from a bottle
labeled tenderness
I'm in one hand in the other's a can
She puts me in the can
And smiles through the wall
I got the horror's cos I'm one inch tall
Next thing I know's a girl by my side
Dressed in a bayleaf she's trying to hide
I asked her name she said Germaine
Do the rock do the one inch rock.

> "Can the Can" de Suzi Quatro

Lyrics :
Well you call your mama tiger
And we all know you are lying
And your boyfriend´s name is eagle
And he lives up in the sky (High, high)
Watch out the tiger don´t go claw the eagle´s eye
But let the eagle take the tiger by surprise
(Scratch out her eyes)

Refrain:
So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
If you can
Well can the can

Well your sister´s got the feline touch
She touches up your mind
And your eagle lover likes his little bit of evil
Loving all the time
Don´t let the cat get into the eagle´s nest at night
Because the eagle could say “yes” without a fight
(Scratch out her eyes)

Refrain:
So make a stand for your man, honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can, honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
If you can
Well can the can

Ooh can the can
(Can the can honey)
Ooh can the can
(Can the can honey)
Uhh huh can the can
(Can the can honey)
Ooh can the can
(Can the can honey)
Can the can
(Can the can honey)
Ooh can the can
(Can the can honey)
Ah honey,
Honey
Honey
Honey, honey, honey

Make a stand for your man honey
Try to can the can
Put your man in the can honey
Get him while you can
Can the can
Can the can
If you can

Reggae et colonisation

Les paroles des chansons qui suivent sont autant de témoignages d’une culture profondément ancrée dans l’histoire de la colonisation –où l’esclavage et les luttes pour son l’abolition, les conversions au christianisme et l’appropriation de la Bible, l’espoir d’un retour en Afrique traversent de nombreuses chansons des années 1960 et 1970.

Steel Pulse, “Not King James Version”, from the album Babylon the Bandit (1986)

A dis ya version
A no King James version
'Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden

Hidden from me I was never told
Ancient prophets black and bold
Like Daniel, King David and Abraham
Israel were all black men
I don't wanna lose you

Japhet tried his best to erase
The godly parts we played
I says he came and took
And never mention in his books...no

CHORUS

In Esau's chapter of history
So little mention of you and me
We rulers of kingdoms and dynasties
Explored this Earth for centuries
I don't wanna lose you
Phoenicians, Egyptians and the Moors
Built civilization, that's for sure
Creators of the alphabet
While the West illiterate, yeh

CHORUS

African heritage
I don't wanna lose ya
Oh, no

Slavery came and took its toll
In the name of John Bull Dog
Said we turned ours backs on God
Lost the powers that we had
Now our backs against the wall
Ask ourselves about the fall
Rise rise rise
Hold on to your culture

CHORUS

I don't wanna lose ya
I don't wanna lose ya
Never let them fool you

Aswad, “Drum and Bass Line”

In a different style
Dub plate spinning all the while
What the people wanting
Dub plate till a morning
That's what they all are shouting for
Can you hear them
Seems they just can't refuse it
Just go to bounce and use it
Seems they were born with rhythm within
And you couldn't give up now
You know you couldn't give up now
Couldn't give up now
Dancing to the rhythm of the drum and the bass line
To the question that you're asking
It's clear to see my friend
Time before when we use music
To cool our very soul
And when slave master beat I with the whip
And he made I jump and twist
We use that music to cool us down I say
You couldn't give up now
You know you couldn't give up now
Couldn't give up now
What you do dancing to the rhythm of the drum and bass line
To the question that you're asking
It's clear to see my friend
Time before when we use music
To cool our very soul
And when slave master beat I with the whip
And he made I jump and twist
We use that music to cool us down i say
You couldn't give up now
You know you couldn't give up now
Couldn't give up now
What you do dancing to the rhythm of the drum and bass line

Bob Marley, “Slave Driver”, from the album Catch a Fire

Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh.
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: gonna get burn. (catch a fire) Wo, now!

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very souls.
Today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty.
Good God, I think it's illiteracy;
It's only a machine that makes money.
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all. Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.

Slave driver, uh! The table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very soul.

O God, have mercy on our souls!
Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burn. (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
Catch a fire ...

Bob Marley, “Redemption Song”, from the album Legend

Old pirates, yes, they rob I;
Sold I to the merchant ships,
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit.
But my hand was made strong
By the 'and of the Almighty.
We forward in this generation
Triumphantly.
Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.

Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our minds.
Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them can stop the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,
While we stand aside and look? Ooh!
Some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.

Won't you help to sing
This songs of freedom-
'Cause all I ever have:
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs;
Redemption songs.
---
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery;
None but ourselves can free our mind.
Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy,
'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time.
How long shall they kill our prophets,

Yes, some say it's just a part of it:
We've got to fullfil the book.
Won't you have to sing
This songs of freedom? -
'Cause all I ever had:
Redemption songs -
All I ever had:
Redemption songs:
These songs of freedom,
Songs of freedom.

Melodians, “Rivers of Babylon”, adapted from Psalm 137 (1958) et Boney M (1978)

By the rivers of Babylon
Where we sat down
And there we wept
When we remembered Zion
But the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land
Cause the wicked carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
How can we sing King Alfa song
In a strange land

Abyssinians, “Declaration of Rights”, from the album Satta Massagana

Look, oh Lord, they brought us down here
Have us in bondage, right through these years
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your rights my brothers
Get up and fight for your rights my sisters

Took us away from civilization
Brought us to slave in this big plantation
Fussing and fighting, among ourselves
Nothing to achieve this way, it's worser than hell, I say

Get up and fight for your right, my brother
Get up and fight for your right, my sister

Burning Spear, “Slavery Days”, from the album Marcus Garvey (1975)

Mr. Bigman
When will this payday be?
When will this payday be?
For these retired slaves (Ya a listen me?)
My forefather worked down here
On this great plantation
True he didn't get no pay
For all their wasted days
Tell us now!
When will this payday be?
Mr. SlavedriverCulture, Payday, from the album Payday
They took us away from our homeland
They took us away from our homeland
And we are slaving down here in Babylon
And we are slaving down here in Babylon
They are waiting on an opportunity
They are waiting on an opportunity
For the Black Starliner which is to comeCulture, Black Starliner, from the album Two Sevens Clash
Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And they beat us (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And they worked us so hard (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
And they used us (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Till they refuse us (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)
Do you remember the days of slav'ry? (Do you remember the days of slav'ry?)

Gregory Isaacs, “Slave Master”, from the album The Essential Gregory Isaacs

No competition, I make you my decision, yeah

Everytime I hear the music and I make a dip, a dip
Slave master comes around and spank I with his whip, the whip
But if I don’t get my desire
Then I'll set the plantations in fire
My temperature is getting much higher
Got to get what I require

‘Cause everytime we do the work sometimes we are hurt, oh yeah
Boss never do a thing but hold on to his girth
But if I don’t get my desire
Then I'll set the plantations in fire
My temperature is getting much higher
Got to get what I require

Everytime I hear the music and I move my hip, my hip
Slave master comes around and spank I with his whip, a whip
Slave master, I’m the shepherd you're my pastor
Say you rock ?? so long we make the work
And if I don’t get my desire
Then I'll set the station on fire
My temperature is getting much higher
Got to get what I require

But if I don’t get my desire
Then I set the stations in fire
My temperature is getting much higher
Got to get what I require
