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....
