Having being very quiet and relativley unknown since then, he re-emerged inside the UK Garage scene as The Wookie (Chue - gettit ?) with a fresh unique sound, influenced by the 2-step rhythms of the day.
His compositions remained special, having a slightly more polished sound than his peers. With vocalist Lain, he enjoyed chart success with his piece Battle, despite dance music being firmly on the wane at the time in 2000.
Joy My Pride
Wookie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been playin this waiting game
Not much more that I can do
Seems every day's the same
But today is that day
Bundle of joy to come
Can't hold back no more
Emotions rise
Now the tears fall from my eyes
As I'm watchin you arrive
Somethin breaks deep down inside
Cos you are my joy, my pride
You've got your mother's eyes
Just can't get over you
In moments of sacred love
When God gave us you
Hold on to the good, my angel
???????????? despair
Take my hand you will fall, little one
You're my holdin arm
Now the tears fall from my eyes
As I'm watchin you arrive
Somethin breaks deep down inside
Cos you are my joy, my pride
All the things that I've been through
Experience I'll share with you
In years to come I'll watch you grow
Try to guide you along that road
Though we may disagree
My child you will always be
And after I'm long gone
Always know you're never alone
(Your eyes) They melt my soul
(Your smile) It keeps me warm
(Your voice) It drove me to
(Touch you) Whenever I can and
(Inside) My head I feel
(My mind) Is filled with you
(It's like) A dream come true
(And now) It's reeeeaaaal
Now the tears fall from my eyes
As I'm watchin you arrive
Somethin breaks deep down inside
Cos you are my joy, my pride [x3]

Months come by and I
As time passes, I have been waiting eagerly
Been playin this waiting game
I am waiting patiently for something special
Not much more that I can do
I am limited in the actions I can take
Seems every day's the same
The monotony of waiting creates a feeling of time standing still
But today is that day
Finally, the day has arrived
Bundle of joy to come
A new life, full of potential, is on its way
Can't hold back no more

Emotions rise
My feelings intensify
And I'm overcome…
I am overwhelmed with emotions

Having you in my life is like fulfilling a lifelong dream
(And now) It's reeeeaaaal
But now it is a reality, not just a dream
Now the tears fall from my eyes

As I'm watchin you arrive
As I observe you entering the world
Somethin breaks deep down inside
Something inside me changes fundamentally
Cos you are my joy, my pride [x3]
Because you bring me happiness and are a source of deep satisfaction for me.
