Side B:
Breakin' Down the Walls of Heartache

Back in 68 in a sweaty club
Before Jimmy's machine and the rocksteady rub
On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes
After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school
The lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practisin' steps and keepin' outa fights

Academic inspiration you gave me none
Ah but you were Michael the lover the fighter that won
And look at me now looking down on you
No I'm not being flash its just what I'm built to do

That man took the stage with his towel swingin' high
This man was my bombers my dexys my high
The crowd they all hailed you and chanted your name
Ah but they never knew like we knew
Me and you were the same
And now you're all over your song is so tame
You fed me you bred me
I'll remember your name
