Shocks Of Mighty: An Upsetting Biography
NAME: Rainford Hugh Perry
AKA: Lee, Little, King, Scratch, Pipecock Jackxon, Super Ape, Ringo, Wonder Man, and many others
BORN: 20 March 1936, Kendal, Jamaica
HEIGHT: 5′ 4″
CURRENT RESIDENCE: Zurich, Switzerland
OCCUPATION: The Upsetter
Updated and revised from Reggae Rasta Revolution (Schirmer Books, 1997)
With a man as legendary and eccentric as Lee Perry, the story of his life is a mix of fact and fiction, newspaper clippings and ghost stories. Much of what we know about Perry is open to conjecture, point of view, clouds of ganja, and grains of salt the size of golf balls. Therefore, I make no apologies for taking artistic license in telling Scratch’s story.
More lyrics:
No sun will shine in my day today; (no sun will shine)
The high yellow moon won’t come out to play:
(that high yellow moon won’t come out to play)
I said (darkness) darkness has covered my light,
(and the stage) And has changed my day into night, yeah.
Where is the love to be found? (oo-ooh-ooh)
Won’t someone tell me?
‘Cause my (sweet life) life must be somewhere to be found -
(must be somewhere for me)
Instead of concrete jungle (jungle!)
Where the living is harder (concrete, jungle!).
Concrete jungle (jungle!):
Man you got to do your (concrete, jungle!) best. Wo-ooh, yeah.
No chains around my feet,
But I’m not free, oh-ooh!
I know I am bound here in captivity;
G’yeah, now – (never, know) I’ve never known happiness;
(never, know) I’ve never known what sweet caress is -
Still, I’ll be always laughing like a clown;
Won’t someone help me? ‘Cause I (sweet life) -
I’ve got to pick myself from off the ground
(must be somewhere for me), he-yeah! -
In this a concrete jungle (jungle!):
I said, what do you got for me (concrete, jungle!) now, o-oh!
Concrete jungle (la la-la!), ah, won’t you let me be (concrete, jungle!), now.
Hey! Oh, now!

Striker Lee / Deadly Dragon reissue come back again!!! Yesss indeed!!! Simple Simon has long been one of our true, favorite artists. While sometimes dismissed as a Eek A Mouse imitator, Simple Simon brought the bing diddy bong style of Mouse and added his own narrative and lyrical skill creating some truly unique tunes. For these reissues we grabbed the great tune REVOLUTION FIGHTERS which rides a RUFF version of the TAKE FIVE riddim made famous by Al Campbell’s BAD BOY and Little John’s Mix up. On this tune Simple Simon twists Burning Spear’s SLAVERY DAY lyrics into a burning cry for justice that stays right on the edge of true RAGE! On the B Side is a sweet dubbed out version of the riddim for all you plate cutters and version heads out there! As always these reissues were taken from the original tapes and limited to a 500 piece pressing
