There’s a chip on your shoulder
And you think you get treated bad
Ain’t nobody wronged ya
All the wrong is inside your head
You think it’s all set against ya
Well that ain’t necessarily so
You should change perspective
Either that or just let it go
Well I have had enough
I won’t let you steal all the fun
I’ll be the bigger man
Let’s forget it
Let bygones be bygones
You should stop your stressing
Didn’t you hear it’s a waste of time
Ain’t that complicated
There’s no need to believe the lies
How you see the problem
It is totally up to you
You should try come higher
And leave that jaded kind of view
Cause I have had enough
I won’t let you steal all the fun
I’ll be the bigger man
Let’s forget it
Let bygones be bygones
Why are you always mad
Take a deep breath
Just chill out
Things ain’t that bad
Let your hair down
Fix your crown
You are so jaded it’s unreal

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
