ALWAYS THINKING ABOUT YOU
Copyright © Dave Linton 2020
Song written by Dave Linton and published by Dave Linton.
℗ Dave Linton 2020
I’M ALWAYS THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU
NO MATTER WHERE I GO, OR WHAT I DO
I CAN'T STOP THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU,
I LOVE TO BE AROUND YOU,
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE,
MANY A NIGHT, WE'VE STAYED IN AND WATCHED TV
THAT'S ALL COOL WITH ME,
MANY A TIMES WE'VE ORDERED TAKE AWAY MEALS,
ALWAYS A WELCOME TREAT,
WE BOTH ENJOY A LITTLE MUSIC, SOMETIMES YOU'LL CHOOSE, AND OTHER TIMES I WILL CHOOSE IT
SOMETIMES WELL DO OUR OWN THING,
I'LL PLAY MY GUITAR AND SING
YOU'LL MEET WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND GO FOR DRINKS
I’M ALWAYS THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU
NO MATTER WHERE I GO, OR WHAT I DO
I CAN'T STOP THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU,
I LOVE TO BE AROUND YOU,
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE,
WE GO OUT TO WORK AND DO, OUR DAILY ROUTINE
AS THE HOURS PASS WELL CHAT AND MESSAGE IN BETWEEN
TIME SEEMS TO PASS SO SLOWLY BUT I'M LOOKING FORWARD
TO WHEN WE GET COSY
YOU KNOW I’M ALWAYS THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU
NO MATTER WHERE I GO, OR WHAT I DO
I CAN'T STOP THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU,
I LOVE TO BE AROUND YOU,
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE,
BEING IN LOVE AND SHARING YOUR HEART
IS NOT SUCH AN EASY THING TO DO AND SOME FIND IT HARD
I'M ALWAYS MISSING YOU, LOOKING FORWARD TO KISSING YOU
WHEN IT'S OUR TIME
I’M ALWAYS THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU
NO MATTER WHERE I GO, OR WHAT I DO
I CAN'T STOP THINKING, THINKING ABOUT YOU,
I LOVE TO BE AROUND YOU,
YOU KNOW THAT IT'S TRUE,

"Just Wanna Dance"
Music and Lyrics composed by Dave Linton -
(Copyright© 2020 Dave Linton)
I'm gonna have a good time...oh yeah
Positive social engagement, interaction and good entertainment
Mental relief and solution, escape mind polution
How I love the feeling, feeling good
The power of good vibes and positive mood
All the challenges we face day by day
Finding solutions not always easy so they say
But never mind take your time, to do the calculations
When you're weighing up each situation
Like a puzzle there's always a way to get through
But right now its not my priority there's something else I wanna do
I wanna dance
Just wanna dance
I really wanna dance dance dance
Just wanna dance
Always feel much better when its the weekend
Might grab a beer or two with my best friend
I wanna stay out late and party hard
I'll say to my lady no need to wait up, I'm not going far
I wanna dance
Just wanna dance
I really wanna dance dance dance
Just wanna dance
I really wanna dance oh yeah
I really wanna dance, just can't stop me now
Dance is good for the spirit and mind
No better therapy you will ever find
Good for the bold and good for the shy
Good for your heart and good for your smile
Positive social engagement, interaction and good entertainment
Mental relief and solution, free your mind from negative polution
Dance is a good thing to do
Power of good vibes and positive mood
All the challenges we must face
Finding solution's not always easy people say
Just wanna dance dance dance
Dance like I've never before
Just wanna dance dance dance
Dance til I drop to the floor
Just wanna dance dance dance
Dance til I see daylight
Just wanna dance dance dance
If I'm still alright

Counting Down The Days - (Music and Lyrics by Dave Linton)
Copyright © Dave Linton 2020
Song written by Dave Linton and published by Dave Linton.
℗ Dave Linton 2020
Its been such a long time since we got to hang out
Life got so complicated, so many worries around
Just when I was thinking everything was normal and sound
I took another look and in the blink of an eye, the world is upside down
The next time i see you I promise to make you smile
I can’t wait to see you again, been such a long while
I hope and pray our time will come round soon
But in the mean time, waiting is all we can do
So Im Counting down the days
Gonna carry on showing my bravest face
Im counting down, trying to stop myself from pulling a frown
Im counting down until our time can be found
Its been such a long time since we got to hang out
Life got so complicated, so many worries around
One minute I was thinking everything was normal and sound
I take a look around surprise surprise I’ve found, the world is upside down
So Im Counting down the days
Gonna carry on showing my bravest face
Im counting down, trying to stop myself from pulling a frown
Im counting down until our time can be found
So Im Counting down the days
Gonna carry on showing my bravest face
Im counting down, trying to stop myself from pulling a frown
Im counting down until our time can be found
(RAP)
If missing you was a crime I would a have fi do crime
I long for the chance to have you right by my side
I promise when I see you I will hug you real tight
A no lie, I’ve been thinking of you day and night
Pure punishment a gwarn in mi head for so long
Is a good ting mi character did build so strong
No sense get vex so mi just carry on
Make nature prevail however if have fi prolong
So Im Counting down the days
Gonna carry on showing my bravest face
Im counting down, trying to stop myself from pulling a frown
Im counting down until our time can be found

It’s You I’ve Been Missing
Copyright © Dave Linton 2021
Song written by Dave Linton and published by Dave Linton.
℗ Dave Linton 2021
No mek no mistake I really miss ya,
When you come home I’ll be really glad I’m with ya,
There’s nothing in this world I wouldn’t give ya,
A long time me a check out the bigger picture,
What’s meant to be must surely be,
Can’t do anything to change the route of destiny,
Mek sure seh you a deal with reality,
No bother get yourself ketch up ina pure fantasy,
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
Said you had to go and visit and friend we both know,
Even though all you wanted was to chill and stay at home,
Got to help out family and friends put ourselves now and then
It’s all about relationships and straight forward it never is
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
We all know the importance of staying in touch with our friends
What is more of value than those who we love in the end
Got to put aside some time and catch up for a chat now and then
Even if it’s not every day like the way we used to back in the day
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
I man just a cherish all the good times we’ve had
Would a never complain I’m so happy I’m so glad
We done know seh love a pure complicated business
More time we no know how fi deal with it
We a try try try fe keep love ina we life
For real we a try fi mek pure good vibes
A no everything we try we can succeed and get right
But we gwaarn do we thing every day and every night
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
What can I do
I cant help myself
What can i do
When I’m missing you
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back
It's you I’ve been missing,
Watching time slowly ticking
The good times we’ve had,
Can’t wait until you get back

In these times of fear and crisis
Good people all around, are fighting
Doing no less than their best, to keep us all going on
Thank you for staying so strong
NHS, carestaff and Keyworkers
We're so thankful for all you do to serve us
Working out there on the frontline
Putting others first, protecting life
Let's salute the heroes
The saviours of our times
Let's salute the heroes
We see all they do to help us in life
Supermarket and local shop workers
We're so thankful for all you do to serve us
Working out there on the frontline
Supplying all we need, so we can get by
Transportation, freight and postal workers
We're so thankful for all you do to serve us
Working out there on the frontline
Reaching every region nationwide
Let's salute the heroes
The saviours of our times
Let's salute the heroes
We see all they do to help us in life
Let's salute the heroes
The saviours of our times
Let's salute the heroes
We see all they do to help us in life
Salute.....the school teachers
We salute.....other education workers
Salute.....the farmers
We salute.....prison workers
Salute........the firefighters
We salute ....the cleaners

Complicated Business
Copyright © Dave Linton 2021
Song written by Dave Linton and published by Dave Linton.
℗ Dave Linton 2021
People went to place their votes
Not knowing which way it would go
Some didnt welcome leadership change
But wanted everything to stay the same way
Politics are complicated business
Proposals accepted by others rejected
Thats the nature of the human mind
When we make our own choices
Such contrast and difference we find
Complicated business
Complicated business
Discussions were held about global trading
His country he wanted all the business to stay in
While citizens worried they were hoping and praying
Theyre tuning into all the latest news to hear what theyre saying
Politics are complicated business
Proposals accepted by others rejected
Thats the nature of the human mind
When we make our own choices
Such contrast and difference we find
Complicated business
Complicated business
He faced prosecution with a threat of impeachment
Inciting supporters how he did was so indecent
Critisized he ways for the handling of the virus
Too many lives lost by people who were loved
And sadly no longer besides us
No no no...
Politics are complicated business
Proposals accepted by others rejected
Thats the nature of the human mind
When we make our own choices
Such contrast and difference we find
Complicated business
Complicated business
Complicated business
Complicated business
Complicated business
Complicated business

℗ Dave Linton 2020
Big up the rude boys, big up the rude girls
Dem well love the rude boy style
Dem a jump and dance like dem high
Hear me now rude boys and rude girls from all around
If you love ska and that big groovy sound
It was there before reggae and also there before rock steady
Then later came two tone bringing a different flavor of its own
Move your body move your feet to the to the cool snappy beat
For some theres nothing as sweet as the sound of ska
Dem well love the rude boy style
Dem a jump and dance like dem high
No care how dem timid and shy
Dem a claim seh the music a blow dem mind
Rude boys and rude girls from all around
Wear your harrington and pork pie hats stand tall and feel proud
Keep the good vibes flowing no matter where or whenever
Spread the message of love and help me to bring more people together
Move your body move your feet to the to the cool snappy beat
For some theres nothing as sweet as the sound of ska
Dem well love the rude boy style
Dem a jump and dance like dem high
No care how dem timid and shy
Dem a claim seh the music a blow dem mind
Theres a very special ingredient makes you wanna move around
Theres a power and effect thats immediate,
Something hidden in the sound
Im so happy when i hear it on the radio
Makes the hours so much easier as the days go
Makes me feel energized brings you back to life
Turns all dark to light
Big up the rude boys, big up the rude girls
Dem well love the rude boy style
Dem a jump and dance like dem high
No care how dem timid and shy
Dem a claim seh the music a blow dem mind

Reset
Copyright © Dave Linton 2021
Song written by Dave Linton and published by Dave Linton.
℗ Dave Linton 2021
Now's the time for reset
Evaluate and reassess injustice over time causing conflict and divide
There's only one world a place for all to live
Men and women boys and girls that's reality
Different color are the faces from many countries and different places
Many were born in places afar
So in peace lets live together celebrate and share all culture
We’re all the human race everyone deserves an equal place
Now’s the time for reset
Now's the time to re assess
Now's the time for reset
Reset look back and reflect
We don't have to dislike each other cause our skin is different colour
How i long to see the end to this negative trend
Universal acceptance should be all we need to connect us
We all know wrong from right so come on and see the light
Now’s the time for reset
Now's the time to re assess
Now's the time for reset
Reset look back and reflect
People of the world let's generate more love
People of the world don't stop til better is done
Death by the hands of police citizens protest out on the streets
Aiming to influence some change so many people feel outraged
Some victims said they could not breathe such brutality beyond belief
Some say no justice no peace time for solution and relief
In every race there are good and bad from all nations good friends we have
We share good times together any origin whatsoever
Those who feel the hatred when they see people with dark faces
Can't always change them though some object to their behaviour
Now’s the time for reset
Now's the time to re assess
Now's the time for reset
Reset look back and reflect
