Afterwards, he made a number of independent releases, first with the The Human Condition (featuring ex-PiL drummer Jim Walker). Soon after, he collaborated with Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay (of Can), plus David Howell Evans (aka The Edge, of U2), resulting in "Snake Charmer" (Oct 1983, Island Records). At the same time he released his own solo work. Further releases were supported by Island Records.
Most recently Wobble realized his own label, 30 Hertz, and has toured the US. At the same time he mustered a short-lived band called The Damage Manual with ex-Killing Joke members and Martin Atkins who was also once a member of PiL. He has also collaborated with Brian Eno on the album "Spinner" (1995, All Saints).
In September 2009, John Lydon reformed PiL for a series of concerts in late 2009. Despite Lydon's invitation to join, Jah Wobble did not feature in the line-up, due disagreements over money and venues.
In 2011, Wobble collaborated with Julie Campbell (aka LoneLady), in a project called Psychic Life and it's eponymous début album (14 Nov 2011, Cherry Red), was inspired by disco, post-punk and psychogeography.

Jah Wobble Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Полночь за окном, медленно тлеет синий уинстон.
И в нашу первую ночь я сильно удивился,
Почему ты выбрала себе, отнюдь, не принца.
Да, я далеко не свят и мой разум не чистый,
Но наши души с тобой больше чем просто близко.
Ты для меня плюс, я для тебя твой минус
И мы снова не в этом мире где то зависли.
И твой взгляд напротив, смотрит на меня так пристально.
К черту эти правила любви, глупые истины,
Важно что мы вместе и улыбаемся искренне
И что то скрывать друг от друга просто бессмысленно.
Аромат твоих волос перед ним трудно выстоять,
Их волнистый локон. Мне не уйти по английски,
Ты слишком близко, мы в зоне риска .
Can't get you out of my head
Girl your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Girl it's more than I dare to think about
2
Утренний рассвет не сможет разбудить нас сразу.
Жалюзи пропускают солнечные лучи.
Я не подарю тебе богатства и сказок,
Но тому что мы вместе есть тысячи других причин.
Ты проснешься раньше и свалишь сразу на кухню,
Стоя у плиты, пока сзади не обниму я.
Две ложки крепкого кофе, все то, как мы любим.
Люди на работу, а мы еще не проснулись
И понять друг друга стало давно обоюдным.
Все твои капризы и моя частая грубость,
Ссоры и скандалы, это далеко не трудность.
Битая посуда. Целую твои губы.
Can't get you out of my head
Girl your loving is all I think about
I just can't get you out of my head
Girl it's more than I dare to think about
Can't get you out of my head
Can't get you out of my head
These lyrics are from a Russian version of Jah Wobble's song "Breathing Out the World." The first verse describes a moment where the singer and his partner share an intimate connection, where they are lost in each other's presence. Despite the imperfections of their individual selves, their souls fit together well. The conventional rules of love don't matter to them, they just want to be together and be honest with each other. The singer mentions the girl's hair and how he can't resist their fragrance, and how he is unable to leave her side because she is his risk zone. In the second verse, the singer shows his love by waking up early in the morning and brewing coffee for the girl. Despite their differences and occasional fights, they still find a way to understand each other and appreciate each other's quirks. The song ends with the repeated lines "Can't get you out of my head, girl your loving is all I think about," indicating the overwhelming feeling of love and devotion the singer has for his partner.

Смотришь на меня в твоей голове тысяча мыслей,
You look at me with a thousand thoughts in your head,
Полночь за окном, медленно тлеет синий уинстон.
Midnight outside, slowly burning a blue Winston.
И в нашу первую ночь я сильно удивился,
And on our first night together, I was very surprised,
Почему ты выбрала себе, отнюдь, не принца.
Why did you choose me, who is far from a prince.
Да, я далеко не свят и мой разум не чистый,
Yes, I am far from being a saint, and my mind is not pure,
Но наши души с тобой больше чем просто близко.
But our souls with each other are more than just close.
Ты для меня плюс, я для тебя твой минус
You are a plus for me, and I am a minus for you,
И мы снова не в этом мире где то зависли.
And once again, we are stuck somewhere outside of this world.
Время застывает, резко теряются числа
Time freezes, and numbers suddenly disappear
И твой взгляд напротив, смотрит на меня так пристально.
And your gaze opposite looks at me so intensely.
К черту эти правила любви, глупые истины,
To hell with these rules of love, foolish truths,
Важно что мы вместе и улыбаемся искренне
What matters is that we are together and smiling sincerely
И что то скрывать друг от друга просто бессмысленно.
And hiding something from each other is just meaningless.
Аромат твоих волос перед ним трудно выстоять,
The fragrance of your hair in front of him is hard to resist,
Их волнистый локон. Мне не уйти по английски,
Their wavy locks. I can't leave in English,
Ты слишком близко, мы в зоне риска .
You are too close, and we are in the danger zone.
Can't get you out of my head
I can't stop thinking of you
Girl your loving is all I think about
All I think about is your love, girl
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't stop thinking of you
Girl it's more than I dare to think about
And it's more than I could ever imagine, girl.
Утренний рассвет не сможет разбудить нас сразу.
The morning sunrise won't be able to wake us up right away.
Жалюзи пропускают солнечные лучи.
Blinds allow the sun rays to pass through.
Я не подарю тебе богатства и сказок,
I can't give you riches and fairy tales,
Но тому что мы вместе есть тысячи других причин.
But there are thousands of reasons why us being together is important.
Ты проснешься раньше и свалишь сразу на кухню,
You'll wake up earlier and rush to the kitchen,
Стоя у плиты, пока сзади не обниму я.
As you stand by the stove until I hug you from behind.
Две ложки крепкого кофе, все то, как мы любим.
Two spoons of strong coffee, everything we love.
Люди на работу, а мы еще не проснулись
People are going to work, but we haven't woken up yet.
И понять друг друга стало давно обоюдным.
Understanding each other has become mutual for a long time.
Все твои капризы и моя частая грубость,
All of your whims, and my frequent rudeness,
Ссоры и скандалы, это далеко не трудность.
Fights and scandals, it's not that difficult.
Битая посуда. Целую твои губы.
Broken dishes. I kiss your lips.
Can't get you out of my head
I can't stop thinking of you
Girl your loving is all I think about
All I think about is your love, girl
I just can't get you out of my head
I just can't stop thinking of you
Can't get you out of my head
I can't stop thinking of you.
