The Captain's Protest Dub

Released as GOV 1 by Governor Records some time round 1980

This song is, of course, a reworking of Up Eh Up, but this version actually has some of the attributes more commonly seen in dub music, such as echo...

Up Eh Up
Well the day is too long.
And the pay is too small.
Well the day is too long.
We got our backs to the wall.

With our backs to the wall, we say
Not a penny off the pay.
Not a minute on the day.

Well I've got no more time
For the meeting the man calls.
Well I've got no more time
For your negative proposals.

No more negative proposals.
No more negative proposals.
No more overtime.
