    A colorful glimpse of Cantabridgian nightlife, specifically of a fun, but notorious reggae club on the poor side of town, across from my old apartment on the corner of Putnam & Western Ave.

    Story Behind the Song
    Written one sweltering, sleepless summer night. No AC, so windows were wide open. Bass & drums pounding into the wee hours (as they do nightly) kept me up until I abandoned all hope of sleep. I got dressed, and wandered across the street for a nightcap--and a chance meeting with a lovely nightowl. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!"

    Lyrics
    All's Not Quiet at the Western Front
    (words & music by willie t, copyright Šp 2001)
     
    there's lots of action down on western avenue
    the band starts up the beat, they're right on cue
    outside in the shadows there's a deal going down
    easy money, lots of good stuff going 'round
     
    reggae blasting through my window right across the street
    restless natives on the corner
    rhythm pounding in my head, i cannot sleep
    might as well get dressed, go down and have a drink
     
    all's not quiet at the western front
    the band is blaring, rastas having fun
    find a sloe-eyed dancer, and fill my head with rum
    when the clock strikes two a.m., night has just begun...
     
    night has just begun
    reggae playing all night long
    rastaman, he sing the song
    gonna sing it all night long
    night has just begun....
