Not a Damn Seat for Dem [Song]

NOT A DAMN SEAT
By Kitchener [1981]

This election was like war among dem party
ONR was more than sure they win already
Hudson-Phillips say, "Tell them that's the the last of PNM."
But when the race complete
Is he who end up without a seat.

[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Mama, that what Chambers say
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Not a single seat on election day
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
How they lose, they can't understand
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
They calling Chambers ah obeah man.

Dem ONR jump and wine, making a big show
As they had the crowd behind everywhere they go
So they thought that crowd was vote
They say they go cut we throat
Sparrow start to bawl when he hear not a seat at all.

[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Sparrow, that's ingratitude
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
You bite the finger that gih you food
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Look how you hug up Doctor Willie
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
People 'fraid you in this country.

Hudson-Phillips fell apart, beaten pole [poll?] to pole
Doctor Laquis broke his arm in he own stronghold
Well, the party took a blow when their leader went below
The failure of Karl was the end of the ONR.

[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Karl, join the Alliance too
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
And they go find something for you to do
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
I hear he make Best a senator
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
He futty make you party lawyer.

Trinidadians got a hint, they heard of the plans
The ONR had blueprint to bring the Cubans
People took it on, of course
Say their freedom will be lost
Before this problem we better put back the PNM.

[Not a damn seat for dem!]
This is what PNM do for we
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
They gih we freedom and liberty
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Freedom to walk, freedom to protest
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
Freedom to talk, freedom of the press.

[Not a damn seat for dem!]
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
[Not a damn seat for dem!]
[Not a damn seat for dem!]...

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Kitchener.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!

Otra Vez... ¡Gloria Al Bravo Pueblo!

Chavez’s Socialist Party Wins 20 of 23 States in Venezuelan Regional Elections 
Merida, December 16th 2012 (Venezuelanalysis.com) –

"With all votes counted to the point of results being irreversible, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela has won 20 states, and the opposition coalition, three states.

The opposition lost their control of Zulia, Tachira, Carabobo, Monagas, and Nueva Esparta, but retained Amazonas and Miranda, and Lara states...." SOURCE

El Presidente, Hugo Chávez Frías, was not even in the country yesterday when his party swept up the majority of states in Venezuela's state elections. He is in Cuba recovering from last Tuesday's surgery to remove a third recurrence of malignant cells in his body. The Saturday before that [December 8, 2012] he had announced to the Venezuelan people via TeleSUR that he needed to return to Cuba. He had shared with them some of the details of the status of his illness and had named his successor, Nicolás Maduro, in the event of his being unable to function. The video below with English subtitles contains a clip of that announcement:

This win is quite an achievement especially as the elections were overshadowed by the president's serious health problems and there was only about a 53% voter turnout, lower than that for the presidential elections in October.

Congratulations to the President and the people of Venezuela.

Last Election [Song]

LAST ELECTION
By Mighty Cypher (1967)

Last election had so much fun, I am one who sorry it done
Last election had so much fun, Cypher is one who sorry it done
I love to see how men turning beast
Some of them hand trembling like leaf
On the roadside they'll testify
With their manifesto only pack with lie.

If you hear them...

We'll take away the oilfield from the Yankee
And divide them up between all of we
Tate & Lyle wouldn't have no claim,
We'll take away the factories, also sugar cane
We'll take the animals and turn to meat
Cow hoof and cow heel would be very sweet
After all these things have been said
They stone down the candidate with rotten egg.

Some people say that it was confusing,
The Lord say, no, it was just amusing
If a man ---------------- power
He'll show the lions in which he devour
One came from England down here
And you can believe he was well prepared
With some assistance from I and you
Hear what that scientist decide to do.

He said that children will be getting education
From England by television
The train could make no money in town,
He running a rail underground
He'll be building houses up in the air
And helicopter will be taking you up there
So if you tumble down like a mouse, doh frighten
You falling right down inside your house! Hay yay!

It have one they calling Bottle,
That man, he is strictly trouble
From the time he mount the platform,
Well, is laughter, the whole crowd gone
And before Bottle say, "Goodnight"
He asking the crowd who ent want to fight
Man, hurry up and doh get me blue
Hear what my government decide to do.

He said, I am stepping right back to the days of old
I go chop down all the branch off ah birth control
This present government go ketch dey blasted tail
I go release every prisoner from jail, ------------ too
With free food, free clothes, free house, free land
Free man, free who???....

Up came a short, little fellow
And he turn the whole program yellow
He said to support my party
And doh vote for no rum and whiskey
In Princes Town, I support Maharaj,
He gave me a drink, people say I bad
That little man was the public choice
I say they love him for his tone of voice.

If you hear him....

"They had the party they call the Macafourchette.
Only running all about just like a zandolee that cannot find a hole
--------------------- grog, grog, grog, grog, grog
On the 7th of November you shall see
That the leader and his followers shall go to Hell!
