Rojah Steffens: On the second ten-inch reel, there is a great deal of one note doodling,
tuning, etc. But a couple of very badly recorded, yet fascinating, tunes
are revealed. The first is a bossa nova, which makes one think that it
was recorded in early 1980, after Bob and Jacob Miller had returned from
a record promotion trip to Brazil. There are at least two guitarists in
the room, one of whom lays down a lilting Brazilian bed as Bob sings.

PRAY FOR ME
tell all the weakhearts
stay away from my door
just can't take your evil no more
cup is full and runneth over
far as I can see

shally wally wah

did you say your prayer

shall wally way

pray for me [repeated 4 times]


hey Mr. Klansman get down from the tree

can't stand to see

the suffering of the majority...



The final song that reveals itself is one that Bob's Rasta lawyer, Diane

Jobson, says is among her all time favorites of Bob's unreleased

masterpieces, a political diatribe against the folly- ticians, whom Bob

felt betrayed him at every opportunity. (Remember his famous line "never

make a politician grant you a favor/they will always want to control you

forever"? This song could easily be a follow-up.)



CAN'T TAKE YOUR SLOGANS NO MORE


can't take your slogans no more [repeated 4 times]

wipe off the paint and the slogans

all over the street

confusin' the people

while the asphalt burns

our tired feet

I see borders and barriers

segregation and riot

sufferation of the majority

will always be with you and me...


can't take your slogans no more...

no more sweet talk from the hypocrites...

no more sweet talk no more fussing

no more sweet talk from the pulpit


Many years ago I told Chris Blackwell of the existence of these tapes

and urged him to make safety copies on DAT as soon as possible. It

didn't matter, I said, who owned what. But if the tapes were allowed to

further decompose, no one would have anything to fight over in the

future. To this day, no such digital masters have been struck.
