Ub 40 - Folitician lyrics

rate me

(chorus)

Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician

Me seh hey folitician

Mek you go long so.

Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician

Me seh hey folitician

Mek you go long so.

You come chatty chatty chatty run up you' mouth; (repeat)

One man, one vote you hear from the shout. (repeat)

You full of pure promise but you tell damn' lies; (repeat)

You make a mistake and then somebody dies. (repeat)

Hey folitician, me seh hey folitician

Me seh hey folitician

What you doin 'bout the slums?

You sit around all day, jus' a twiddle your thumbs;

You have a strange expression

Mek you look like you' dumb. (repeat)

You worry everybody 'til you put them in a box. (repeat)

Dub freak gone

Gone go check him record shop,

Gone go check him record stock.

Him climb upon the box

Him said him got to reach the top;

Him climb upon the shelf

Him seh you take care yourself.

Him dance upon the floor

Him said a music galore. (repeat)

Dub freak, dub freak

Deh 'pon the go;

Say you never know

Because I told you so.

Sippa, sippa, sippa, sippa, lightning crash; (repeat)

Drummer 'pon him drum, him jus' a play mish-mash. (repeat)

Keyboards in the middle jus'a jump and twiddle. (repeat)

Rhythm over here an' me seh rhythm over there;

Don't stop and stare because the rhythm gone clear.

Dub freak, dub freak, in a dub freak style

Dub freak, dub freak, still a running wild.

Him start from the bottom 'til him reach up the top

Him keep on rocking and him never stop.

Wow and flutter, music jus'

A run like butter. (repeat)

Dub a slip an' slide

Dub a slip an' slide

Dub a slip an' slide,

He can't find nowhere to hide.
