Never need the love from a demon taking and never giving from the goodness of one's soul.
Only the wise can recognise the real.
The ignorant sit back in surprise wondering how can somone be so crazy?
But being crazy is wise 😊👍

[davidbeeson]

Absolutely LOVE Freddie McKay. Just brilliant. 🙏🏼

lyrics for the whole song, the toasting by Trinity after 4:00 included as well

In time of trouble, when I need you most
You walked out on me, you walked out on me
In time of trouble, when I need you most
You walked out on me, you walked out on me
But if I should make it, don´t come running back to me
Begging for no mercy, begging for no mercy

'Cause mercy gone and judgment comes, I don't need your love
Don't need it no more, don't need it no more (Woh-ho-ho-whoy)

For when you were down, and I was up
I used to treat you nice, like sugar and spice (Oh well; alright)
But now I'm down, and you are up, you just treat me bad
Can't take it no more, can't take it no more

'Cause mercy gone, and judgment comes, I don't need your love
Don't need it no more, don't need it no more (Woh-woh-whooy)
'Cause mercy gone, and judgment comes, I don't need your love
Don't need it no more, don't need it no more (Woh-woh-whooy)

In time of trouble, when I need you most
You walked out on me, you walked out on me
In time of trouble, when I need you most
You walked out on me, you walked out on me
But if I should make it, don't come running back to me
Begging for no mercy, begging for no mercy

For mercy gone, and judgment comes
I don't need your love, don't need it no mo-
For mercy gone, and judgment comes, I don't need your love
Don't need it no more
Don't need it no more (Woh-woh-woh, woh-woh-whooy)
Don't need it no more (Woh-woh-woh, woh-woh-whooy)
Don't need it no more (Woh-woh-woh, woh-woh-whooy)
Don't need it no more (Woh-woh-woh, woh-woh-whooy)

[humanoNOoceano]

In times of trouble,
when I need you most,
you walked out on me.
You walked out on me.
In times of trouble,
when I need you most,
you walked out on me.
You walked out on me.
But if I should make it,
don´t come running back to me
begging for no mercy.
Begging for no mercy.
Cause mercy gone,
and judgment comes.
I don't need your love,
don't need it no more.
Don't need it no more...
When you were down,
and I was up
I used to treat you nice,
Like sugar and spice.
But now I'm down and you are up,
you just treat me bad,
Can't take it no more.
Can't take it no more...
Cause mercy gone,
and judgment comes.
I don't need your love,
don't need it no more.
Don't need it no more...
Cause mercy gone,
And judgment comes,
I don't need your love,
Don't need it no more.
Don't need it no more.

This song is powerful because it’s honest, it comes from a place of pain. A place of separation and severance.

This is REGGAE BLUES!!! 🖖
