Once upon my dreaming mind
I heard a voice a callin’
From the seas of malcontent
There’s something quite appalling
We need new heroes
To unite the mother earth
And with their riddims blasting over
Jah’s voice shall be heard
Who’s here to sing their song again?
Wit' good vibes, they won't end
We're back to save the earth again
Humans: be friends
Spliff Riddims sing their song again
The fun times, don't end
So drop that groove again
Jah's love says that
Peace will reign, yeah
Over the blue oceans and the
Earth’s fields and mountains
You shall hear our peace and love
Over all the shouting
We are the heroes
And we’re here to save the day
Bringing love and music to help
Our people on the way

Jah's Masterplan

Born in Huddersfield
Huddersfield, Jamaica
Following the words of Jah
Our aim one day to meet her
Imbibe and quaff Earth's edibles
And these dictate our future
A life of bushweed impotence
Await Spliff Riddims group yeah
The weed is calling
So we be hon’ring
All the forebears
Who smoked before us
The shrooms in season
And they're the reason
We wrote this song here
So let’s make that clear
Peace, pudding, dyspepsia
Bushweed honeys undress in our
Purple, palace, salle de bains
Praise be for Jah's masterplan
Praise be for Jah’s masterplan
Honeys undress in our salle de bains
Picked them up in our Transit van
Steve 'n Rob's turquoise Transit van!
We smoke it up
Then we throw it up
Take a hit again
Born in Huddersfield
Huddersfield, Jamaica
A life of bushweed impotence
Await Spliff Riddims group yeah
The shrooms in season
And they're the reason
Who'll fulfil Jah's masterplan?
The Edible Earth man can!

We've stood alone
We've sat as one
We've seen the truth
And it's foolproof
We've quaffed the Earth's
Edible goods
They've shown us things
Mystic's trust
From time's bell-curve
To the female mind
Our expertise
Knows no bounds
We've battled jinns
On desert plains
Fought Satan's lust
Upon our brain
A magic 'shroom
A space cake pie
Opiate soup
All these we've tried
Nature's treats
Delicious taste
Minds' blown again
So satiate
From Huddersfield
To Timbuktu
Jah teaches us
To inform you:
A rogue may come
But he will go
Time will pass
But feel slow
So don't concern
About these things
Consume drugs
And dive within
What is a tree?
What is a frog?
What is air?
Who is god?
A tree's a thing
A frog's a beast
The air is good
To Jah we preach
But what is wrong?
And who is right?
What are these?
Do they bite?
Wrong is you
Spliff Riddim's right
Those are teeth
And yes they bite
With climate change
We're on the brink
Mass suicide
Let's stop and think
Embrace our time
With fruitful choice
Let's kill the rich
Widda poor rejoice
Let's scrap all cash
Private property
A communal life
For humanity
"But what of jobs?
"But what of crime?
"And what to do
"With all our time?"
Our job is Jah
And pleasing her
By tripping out
And pleasuring girls
Those who lie
And commit crimes
We'll seal them all
In underground mega-jails
We'll spend our days
Writing poetry
And singing songs
'Til submerged by the sea
So let's succeed
By smoking weed
Psychonauts
One and all

Tuesday morning
And the sun is up
Air pollution low
And the wind speed fine
Enjoy our breakfasts
In a record time
We’re super excited
For a magical time
Put on our coats
And open the door
Just two fellas
Looking for a score
So put on those
Wellington boots my man
We’re picking as many
As two people can
Walking on the grass
Crushing under my feet
Feeling the breeze
Through my hair
Wishing there were people
To look at my hair
Going through gates
And over stiles
Til we find a field
Where the crop goes wild
Bending down
To pick them up
It breaks off softly
Into my hand
I know it's happening
For us tonight
Getting my 'shroom on
In my room alright
Faces are wild
With delight
And we are going home now
With our pockets full
Of little mushrooms!
As soon as we're home
We know what to do
It's into the kitchen
Don't take off our shoes
Get out a knife
And chop them up
And get out some
Chocolate
Break it up
Put it in a glass bowl
And boil up a pan
With some water
And place the bowl
Over the water
To stir while
The chocolate melts
When it melts
Take it off
And leave it to cool
For a bit of time
Then stir in
The fresh stuff
Pour it out
Into a mould
Put it in the fridge
To cool
When they set
You take them out
Then you put them
In your mouth
And please don’t
Forget to chew
Otherwise they
Might choke you
So then relax
It’s about to hit
And you can then
Enjoy the rise and fall of
Magic mushrooms!

At the dawn of a new era
Another trip around the sun
We begin the circuit
That our daily lives must run
Break the chain
Break the circuit
Start anew
And make the change
Take custody of your life
The world is yours to take
If it grown on earth imbibe
With Jah's gifts we create
Stick it in your pipe
And light it up
It’s an edible earth
Of peace ‘n love
Pillage the natural resources
No one can take them from you
Make the world a better place
But only for yours and you
Make a chain
Make a circuit
Start anew
And be the change
Take custody of the people
They are yours to take
If it’s on earth it’s yours
So you can have all you want
Stick it in your pipe
And light it up
It’s an edible earth
Of peace ‘n love
So citizens unite
In peace and love
This edible earth
Means peace ‘n love
Let the rhythm of the drums
And the sound of the bass
Lift your soul to the sky
As together we embrace
This edible earth
This wonderous place
Where we light up our spliffs
And make love in great haste
As the rhythm of the drums
And the sound of the bass
Lift our souls to the sky
In this awesome embrace
It's an edible earth
And a wonderous place
So light up those spliffs
Great peace 'n love we will make

Dick in the Dub Church

There's a place out of town
Feared by all men
For there worship demons,
Beasts and Master McWren
He is the pope of Lucifer's church
He doesn't take communion
Unless you're in a hearse
He's the leader of the Dub Church

Touched By A Genius
01:46
|

|
I want to tell you a story
About the smartest man I ever knew
He taught me all about myself and all
About what a human can go through
I was touched, yes I was touched
By a beauty so raw and pure
I was touched, yes I was touched
By a genius so true
He touched me here
He touched me there
He touched me everywhere
Especially in my underwear
The man knew physics
The man knew maths
He knew the human body
Especially mine after that
"The friendly man in the science lab
He's ever so clever and he's got your back"
He wrote a thesis about philosophy
The man was a genius at sodomy
The guy knew about buggery
And he told me about hot surgery
I was touched, yes I was touched
By a genius so true
I was touched, yes I was touched
And I now I need you to touch me too

Breakfast (...Revisited)
03:30

Cornflakes and toast
And blueberries
Waffles and pancakes
In one day
Full English
Strawberry breakfast muffins
All of this stuff
Is good for me
Breakfast
There are other
Things you can have
Forget the fibre
Cut out the crap
Open your mind
Or open your stomach
All of this stuff
Is good for me
Breakfast
Acid, dope
And salvia
Peyote, psilocybin
In one day
Fly agaric
DMT and nutmeg
All of this stuff
We wouldn’t recommend
Getting high
To start the day
The best choice
To rise and shine
Smoking a bowl
Of strong cannabis
Lighting it up
To get high
Feeling stoned
At the breakfast table
Getting ready for lunchtime
Breakfast

Something for everyone to dislike.
by The Ill-Fitting Garibaldis
Follow-up to Kissing Sally In The Smoking Room is more akin to 2011 masterpiece Hope And Monet. The Garibaldis may now be a duo but here the Steve-Rob-Rory lineup bow out on top form.
