[[b]1] A pseudonym of dub musician Hopeton Brown (aka Overton Brown), from Kingston, Jamaica). Brown burst onto the reggae scene in the early '70s with a reckless mixing style that seemed to outdo even King Tubby's wildest extravaganzas. He began his career as an engineer at Tubby's in 1978. Shortly afterwards he became a Tubby protégé and, by 1980, had gained a reputation with a distinctive mixing style.
He became worldwide known after Rockstar Games used his album 'Scientist Rids the World of the Curse Of the Vampires' in 2001.

Scientist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another volume just keeps catching my eye
I can keep picking one off every shelf
I made a promise, it's one in and one out
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
That's why I stopped right where I stood
I'm breaking myself trying to catch you in that
A million thoughts all race anew round my head
You know I want you but I'm clipped by this doubt
Born on this promise, it's one in and one out
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
There was a lot I could have done
But nothing good
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
There was a lot I could have done
But nothing good
That's why I stopped right where I stood
When I saw you
