Geoff Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks for putting up the lyrics of this masterpiece. Love dancing to this and singing along, but the words are hard to follow, the backing seems a bit loud in places. Hope Martin Thomson plays this tomorrow at Walls Of Heartache.

Guest Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 To be honest i'm not overly bothered about hearing "classic" northern tracks, but this was played at Soulsville last night, and it sounded so good. Because of the type of venue i attend, you don't really get to hear that many of the standards of the scene, but i absolutley loved this 45' last night. Always remember picking that e.p up with it on (Boot) back in the early 80's at Rotherham. Great lyrics (glad you wrote them, as i'm rubbish with knowing what they sing) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Matt Male Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Is it just me or is it nicer sometimes to not know the lyrics? I know loads of half songs and sometimes it's nice just to know a snippet or make up a bit yourself when dancing away, or the chorus at least. Having said that, The Nomads - Somethings Bad has cracking lyrics. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sweeney Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 "Son I told you all I can Now you see what it takes to be a man We must hold our head up high I'm a man, I'm a man" Sometimes we become so jaded by scene politics and "etiquette" that we forget about all the things this beautiful music can mean to so many. Pure poetry - Isn't this what SOUL MUSIC should be about? A man telling it like it is through the medium of song. Thanks to Paul for posting the lyrics - this has enhanced my appreciation of this beautiful track - and possibly the whole Rare Soul genre - which in these cynical days is no mean feat!

The "millbrand copyright" printed ones are probably what are/were on the original "lyric sheet" .... BUT not quite what he sang if you listen closely.... I've re-written the original lyrics from above in blue.... the bits I've put in RED CAPITALS are what ARE sang different/extra.... the words left in black are from the above original lyrics but are the missing, different or replaced words.... I'm sure you'll get what I mean if you "sing-a-long" again.... These slight "differences" in lyrics, and I'm sure there's more records that don't follow the original written words, show to me how the artist/group get "into" what their doing and "just do it".... brilliant IMO as gives the record it's soulfulness....

Nittygritty67 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Last year me and my mates tried to figure out the lyrics of Jerry Butler´s "Stop Stepping On My Dreams". We all feel that they are outstanding poetry, but we don´t know whether we got them right. If you have any ideas for approvements, please let me know... Thanks, Reinhard "Save the babies, that’s what I say Save the babies I see a whole lot of folks shooting down the babies And I got a couple of little guys that are just growing up And I really get kind of shook up when I look around See folks puttin’ down what they’re puttin’ down It seems like I could hear ’em saying Everybody keeps talkin’ ’bout the world And what it’s coming to You know, they say we can’t get it together And it’s the end for me and you But hey, I just really started living A few days ago And I dream of things I’ve never seen And places I ain’t been before So I’ve got a few helpful phrases of people who singing those praises Stop thinking with your behind and take up the signs that are reasons for rhymes And stop stepping on my dreams Give me a chance, give me a chance, Please give me a chance You know most folks are scared of dying So the fear brings it near And I see ’em buying books to get to heaven But they fight real hard to stay right here Now the prophets gave us the solution They said, “love your fellow man” Y’all mistook it for pollution And tried to wash your dirty hands But dig it Everything is temporary And I think it’s kind of necessary to Stop thinking with your behind and my changes are signs They are reasons for lives and Hey y’all, why don’t you get out of my dreams Hey you, I want you to stop stepping on my dreams" 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Frankie Crocker Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Well,I don't know what you lot see in this tune,does absolutely nowt for me ,£800 quid plus ,give over Bazza Baz, I once felt a bit like this until it got spun at the 100 Club and it took the roof off with a packed dance floor and everyone clapping in unison, one of the best ever atmospheres there. I decided then, I would add Mel Britt to the collection. Owning a record helps you to really appreciate it's qualities so I recommend picking it up for $8 if you get the chance or £1,000 plus if you can as it's not going to drop in price.
