Radio Paradise (mobile)

Well, they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Well, the oppressors are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done
'Cause, as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know that when you're dead you can't
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now, what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they fall, one and all
Ooh, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
Hey, the harder they come
Harder they fall, one and all
What I say now
What I Say now
What I say now
What I say, one time
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all
The harder they come, the harder they fall, one and all

If you ever find some crap song playing on a "closed loop" over and over in your mind, just hum a few bars of this. Presto! You are free :-) I am going to try to remember this advice next time that happens to me. I will let you know if it works. [ Reply ]

Now I know there's a handful of reggae songs that get trotted out for American tourists but there's so much good reggae out there, let alon island music that never gets played in America except on West Indian radio stations in cities like New York. Maybe RP could put aside the Jimmie Cliff and Bob Marley for a while and pull out the Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, and Toots among others. No worries, they are in the rotation too. But if you think any of them are/were as sublimely influential as Marley, well, its not even close. [ Reply ]
