Hi.
I have to write a feature on a band. It's a 9 piece band playing a very unique type of music called 'ska'. I am really looking forward to be writing about them.
I have been looking at some of their lyrics and I was wondering if anyone would read through them and tell me what they think about them and what you think they are saying. I have copied the lyrics to four of their songs below.
Please share your thought with me.
Business or Pleasure
he took the morning flight from Chicago into the sun at the speed of sound
business talk to justify the embargo just might see what comes around
back in the morning that’s what he says when she asks how long will you stay
negotiations going slowly so I’m gonna stay another week
she will be waiting for you no matter where you are
and though you’re not thinking of her home is not that far
are you in town on business or pleasure?
make sure you know before you leave my friend
won’t feel good when your wife comes to getcha
and she finds out how your week was spent
he took the evening flight to aruba on his way home to check out the sun
he’s buying all the pina coladas look how her bra just came undone
don’t worry sugar that’s what he says when she looks at his wedding ring
i’m just waiting for separation I’m allowed to have a fling
are you in town on business or pleasure?
make sure you know before you leave my friend
won’t feel good when your wife comes to getcha
and she finds out how your week was spent
Ruff
did you wake up to fuss and fight
from the morning ‘till late in the night
i can see what’s been going on rudeboy says
watch your money watch your money
where it goes and where’s it’s from
must be some other motivation
because you like it ruff ruff ruff
and not cool
say you like it ruff ruff ruff
and not cool as the wind in the trees
long time you’ve been looking for trouble
come to me and I’ll make it double
i can see your true intentions shining through
enough money oh enough money
to live a life in luxury
must be some other motivation its got to be
because you like it ruff ruff ruff
and not cool
say you like it ruff ruff ruff
and not cool as the wind in the trees
She’s gonna know
where did you go last night
can you still feel alright
are you sure what you’ve done
or did you have a little too much fun?
you can’t hide you can’t run
she’s gonna find yaand you’re done
‘cause in the end you’re to blame
you’re gonna bring her all the shame
well you can hide it from me
i won’t break down and weep
but she’s gonna know
you know you know you know
she’s gonna know
she’s gonna know who she is
where you went, thatyou kissed
on the bench in the park
breaking vows in the dark
and all your long lonely nights
you’ve been creeping away
smudging filth onto her name
And playing your stupid game
Pitbulls
when he goes out he makes a riot
and the whole damn town wants to knock him down
when she sleeps it aint quiet
cause no one knows
where the pitbull goes
it you see him late at night
drunk as hell trying to pick a fight
just remember when the fight is won
that pitbulls only wants to have fun
once again he makes a riot
and he seems to know
where the clubs don’t close
every day he want’s to fight
he’ll never stray from the life he chose
if you see him late at night
drunk as hell trying to pick a fight
just remember when the fight is won
that pitbulls just wanna have fun
