HEY NOW GIRL
It feels like
Nothing’s going wrong
Nothing’s going right
It feels like
It’s alright
You’re here right now
But I know that you
Will be gone tomorrow
It’s fine with me
It’s alright
Bridge:
Is there nothing I can do
To make you change your mind, girl
Is there nothing I can say
To make you stay
(I got no place to run
Nowhere to hide
Baby it’s you and then I’m alright) x 2
So let me lay you
Let me lay you
Let me lay you down
As long as you’re around
Chorus:
Hey now girl
All this time
I have been
Searchin’ for your love
Chorus
Searchin for your love…
I want you to know
You are free to do whatever
You want to
If you wanna go
You got to
I’ll do anything
Anything I can do
To make you happy
If you need to leave
Feel free, please
Bridge
So let me lay you,
Let me lay you,
Let me lay you down
As long as you’re in town
Chorus 2x
Searchin for your love…

MEGAN
Chorus:
Megan is coming over
At nine o'clock tonight
Megan is coming over
And that makes me feel alright
It all started one bright morning
I was just sitting on my grandma's porch and strummin’
When my sister stepped out of the door
Onto the deck and said
'Guess who's coming for a visit'
And so I tried to guess our guest
And every shot I shot was bound to miss
Ooh, aah, cut me some slack sis
Why don't you just tell me
Who we're gonna interact with
And then, when she said the name
We all went totally insane
Decided to place some phone calls
And go dance inside the rain
Megan's coming over
She's gonna bring
Good buddy girl
Some whiskey and clover
Chorus
Megan is coming
Over tonight
We're gonna have a
Session alright
Ooh, ooh
Sitting on the porch trying to concentrate
Hoping that my megan won't arrive too late
Maybe I should go right out to the gate
It seems to be the best spot for me to sit and wait
For the date of my sister
Would go crazy if I missed her
My mind's made up
I've gonna have a dance with her
Even though she's so cool
That it makes me shiver
Maybe I can find a little something
I can give her
Oh I can't wait until it's nine
I gotta see her face I bet
she's mighty fine
Megan, sugar yes, you got to be mine
Even if I have to wait and stand in line
Thank you for the clover
But didn't you know that
St. Patrick's Day has long gone
Yo, it's over
Guess who's coming over
She's gonna bring good buddy girl
Some whiskey and clover
Chorus
Megan is coming
Over to night
We’re gonna have a
Session alright
Megan is coming over
at nine o’clock tonight

BEAUTIFUL DAY
Verse:
It’s a beautiful day
Here on the in- and
There on the outside
Let me take you away
So we can breathe fresh air
Out there along the landside
‘Cause in the city I got
Bridge:
High tides in my veins
And I got
Low tides in my brains
This fight’s driving me insane
Don’t you play with the fire
When you feel the flame
I got…

Am innocent

Am innocent
It’s human nature!
I and I and I and I
Am innocent
I and I and I and I and I
The first verse is here to make it clear
What you got goin’ for yourself open your ears
It is the stare in my eye
It’s wicked and wild
Comin’ from the woods, baby
Manchild
We have been armed in the past
It’s gonna happen again
Why it’s happening right now
We’ll all be murderers in the end
What you gonna do
When you send your love to school
Arm her with love, fool, arm her with love, fool
Chorus
One look in the mirror
Will help to see yourself
And your kind much clearer
You’re nothing but
A product of evolution
Like a colony of ants
Ruled by confusion, yeah
Ruled by confusion, yeah
Chorus
You’re like a colony of ants
Like a colony of ants
You keep on marchin’
Through the land

Se queda cada dia
¿Para qué?

MUSIC
Oh, it’s a wonderful, mythological world out there…
So watch your step
You might get wet…
Babylon is walking on hot coals
Scolding its feet on ignited souls
While the people in the streets
Are trying to play their role
And I ask myself why
Why they’re tryin’ to fit inside the mold
And they can’t recognize
When their emotions grow cold
Trying to achieve
When they’re losing their souls
What’s going on with the people today?
Chorus:
Music
Will bring you higherness
You gotta use it
When life puts you to the test
You’re gonna need it
When trouble roles around the bend
Ah yeah, now
Wicked man
Even you can’t be saved
Do you love the music
The way that I do it and
If you really do I wanna
See you shake and move it
We’ve been givin’ birth to
Fat beats and fresh grooves
The best remedy for you
If you’re in a bad mood
Music, music…
gonna need it need it need it…
Chorus
Chorus (variation):
Music
Is gonna make you whole
Don’t you abuse it
‘Cause it can help you grow
It’s gonna save you
So it’s time to sing out loud
Oh, ah yeah now
Wicked man
Even you can’t be saved
The recipe is new
And I’m sure you’d like to know
Some of the things
I put in besides the flow
My ambition is to plant the seed
And then watch it grow
My ammunition is this track
Bumpin’ through your stereo
Once I catch fire you can’t turn it off again
Like a pot of boiling soup the riddim keep on bubbelin’
I gotta let it all out
No use in holdin’ it in
Tell me can you feel the fire fire burnin’?
Chorus
Chorus variation
Music, music, music…

In a basement apartment set up shop
Waiting for Babylon to come knock knock
So I lock up my doors and burn up my crop

RHODE ISLAND
Chorus:
Rhode Island, is my island
Where the ocean meets the sky
And the sun sets
To cover the land in firy red
And the ocean
Is like a potion to I
Because it soothes my soul
When the waves roll
In onto the shores
Ripples on the water
Stand for what’s beneath
The sound of the earth
That’s gonna wash up
On the beach
Chorus
Guess where I hear my heart beat
The sand beneath my feet
Memories of home
My island’s incomplete
Without me
Chorus 2x

NO PLACE TO RUN TO
Sometimes I wanna spread my wings and fly
Sometimes at night I lay awake and cry
Sometimes I got to go to another side
Chorus:
If you got no place to run to
You got to let the riddim take you away
When you got no one to turn to
You got to let the bass carry you away
And if you got no place to run to
You got to let the riddim take you away
And when you got no one to turn to
Bridge:
I don't care if them a stop and wonder
Cause I got no time to let them bring me under
Unite people cause together we are stronger
No I ain't got no time to let them bring me under
Cause in the city the lights, them shine so bright
I got a hard time to see the stars at night
I wanna take a trip on a magic carpet ride
Away from the pollution to another side
Where the love can grow
And the music can flow
Everything mellow
So come on let's go
You'll feel the oneness in a jamaram stylee
Feel the oneness in a jamaram stylee
Chorus
The riddim keep on bubbeling
The beat keep on bumping
The bass keep on rolling
Like a rock
The riddim keep on bubbeling
The beat keep on bumping
The bass keep on rolling
Like a rock
Feel the oneness in a jamaram stylee...
Feel the oneness in a jamaram stylee...

CARRY IT
Some say, that live is a burden to carry
And is not as easy as some claim
But love makes it simple to carry
‘Cause it’s not that easy…
Oh, ah yeah
Chorus:
Won’t you help me carry it
And he said
“Yes, I’ll help you up the hill”
If you feel like the whole world’s
On top of your back
Your body’s weak
Yet your mind is completely intact
You’ve been abandoned and
You are trying to keep track
Have faith and take it easy
Bridge:
So come on (on)
Come down (down)
Don’t you settle for just
A piece of that crown (piece of that crown)
‘Cause you’re the ruler of your county
The ruler of your country
Not the contrary
Some say you’ll stay in solitude till the end of your days
But it’s not as easy as they claim
‘Cause love will see you through
To the day
Have faith and you’ll hear voices say
“Believe in me, I see you to”
Chorus variation:
Won’t you help me carry it
And he said
“Yes, I’ll help you up the hill”
When you feel like the whole world’s
On top of your back
Your body’s weak
Yet your mind is completely intact
You’ve been abandoned and
You are trying to keep track
Have faith
‘Cause strength and ease
will be right back

Dub:
Take control!
Fire to the whole now!

At my table
Out my window
Sounds the echo through the hollow
Between you and I
Where has it gone I think it’s lost
In the icy cold and frost
That past summer’s night
So would you go

Jamaram Munich, Germany
It is hard to say for how many bright faces JAMARAM can be accredited for within the previous 20 years of performing live on stage. With approx. 100 shows a year, the number of singing mouths and dancing legs in the audience probably ranges into the hundreds of thousands. Having toured halfway around the world and despite, or maybe because of their longevity, the band is far from retiring! ... more
