[00:10.93]I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style,
[00:19.73]And so I came to see him and listen for a while.
[00:28.61]And there he was this young bwoy, stranger to my eyes,
[00:36.96]Strumming dub plates with our fingers,
[00:41.46]Eliminate sounds with our song,
[00:46.06]Killing a sound boy with this sound,
[00:49.37]Killing a sound boy with this sound,
[00:54.13]Taking sound boys' lives with this dub, killing him softly with this sound.
[01:09.87] I felt all flushed with fever,embarrassed by the crowd,
[01:19.06]I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud.
[01:27.80]I prayed that he would finish, but he just kept right on
[01:41.66]He said as if he knew me
[01:46.06]In all my god's spaer
[01:50.64]And then he looked right through me
[01:54.10]as if I wasn't there.
[01:59.56]But he was there the stranger
[02:04.24]singing clear and strong
[02:07.62]Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words,
[02:16.64]Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song,
[02:24.39]Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song.
[02:39.29]Strumming my pain ,oh he was singing my life
[02:49.12]lalalalalalalalalala
[03:05.30]with his song.
