Mustard Plug, "On and On" from In Black and White (The Last Angry Rude Boy)
Skammentary: The image above is accurate, posers are not tolerated, but let me emphasize that this in no way excludes neophytes & novices, who are more than welcome. I remember very clearly the night during the Summer of Ska when I discovered ska, before which I was an ignoramus with no knowledge. Everyone is welcome to be enlightened by a syncopated revelation.
Also, though such is not explicitly stated in "On and On," based on previous experience I'm going to take a wild guess that this is a ska song about love gone wrong.
"By now, you think it's over,
Countdown, it's getting colder,
Come on, tell me it's over,
Goes on and on and on and on again.
"Tell me everything this time,
I'll tell you everything is fine,
Give me something I already know.
Heard you had too much inside
And you won't let me ask you why,
Come on, let me tell you all we know.
"By now, you think it's over,
Countdown, it's getting colder,
Come on, tell me it's over,
Goes on and on and on and on again.
"Someone tell me that I'm right,
Tell me it's too late tonight,
Tell me that I have a ways to go.
I can see it in your eyes,
I don't want the next suprise,
Come on, let me tell you all we know…
"By now, you think it's over,
It goes on and on again!
Countdown, it's getting colder,
It goes on and on again!
Come on, tell me it's over,
It goes on and on again!
Countdown!
Countdown!
Come on, it goes on and on again!"
