They formed the Melody Makers when they were teenagers in 1979, and recorded "Children Playing in the Streets" with their father. They went on to perform at their father's funeral in 1981.
The band's popularity was at its highest during 1988, prompting a major record deal with Virgin Records. Shortly thereafter, the group released "Conscious Party," their third album. On the album was the hit single "Tomorrow People," and the album went on to earn a well-deserved Grammy.
There She Goes
Ziggy Marley & The Melody Makers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell you the truth, now I'm blamed to be wrong
I wear no disguise
But I trod on through those memories
That haunt me, that haunt me
I trod on through those memories
that haunt me oh man that haunt me
But her loveliness won't cover her shame
And there she goes, taking true love
While she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How could I be so wrong
To think that we could get along
Days I've spent wasted with you child
If I count they'd be a million or two
But I walk on through that memory
That haunts me oh man that haunts me
I say I trod on through that angry grief
That taunt me, that taunts me
There she goes crying again
But her sexiness wn't cover her shame
And there she goes she's taking her true love
But while she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How, how, how could I be so wrong
To think that we could work out
Days I've spent wasted with you child
If I could count they'd be a million or two
Now I walk on through that rocky reef
That wants me and that wanted me
Woman I walk on through that angry grief
That taunts me, I say that taunts me
Solo
Oh, the truth hurts now, more than the lie, lie
I tell you the truth, now I'm blamed to be
wrong I wear no disguise, no I
There she goes crying again
But her loveliness won't cover her shame
And there she goes, she's taking her true love
While she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How could I be so dumb
To think that we could have some fun
Days I've wasted with you child
If I count, they'd be a million or two
Now I walk on through those memories
That wants me oh man that wants me
I said I trod on through that angry grief
that taunts me I know it taunts me
There she goes crying again
But her sweet caress won't cover her shame
And there she goes, she's taking true love
While she's taking true love, she's given the blame
How could I be so wrong
To think that we could work out
Why should I be so dumb
To think that we could have some fun
There she goes crying again [Repeat: x2]
