For the first time from Jamaica
Villager and a Lee Right Smart
Do Right Wilson, a cool operator
Camp boots a UK pop reggae
With backing fine sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many blacks in television
My body was fucked up so nice with uncool stage fright
Dancing from the bass line to the trouble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rhythm
Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock hello-ooooo
Vespa, vespa. This is a booby in a tank
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with the cunts
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

I always heard "Oxcars on stage nine" instead of "Encores from stage right."

I had no idea what he said their until I read a lyric sheet, but once I did, it sounds like Burton suits, clear as a bell.

My hearing: "We can try to understand that Ewan Turner's a Vector man.
Real lyric: "We can't try to understand the New York Times' affect on man."
Stayin' Alive - The Bee Gees.
