Madness -
"The Prince"

[ from the album "One Step Beyond" (1979) ]

Lyrics

Buster, he sold the heat
With a rock-steady beat

An earthquake is erupting
But not in Orange Street
A ghost-dance is preparing
You got to help us with your feet
If you're not in the mood to dance
Step back, grab yourself a seat
This may not be uptown Jamaica
But we promise you a treat

Buster bowl me over with your bogus dance
Shuffle me off my feet
Even though I'll keep on runnin'
I'll never get to Orange Street

So I'll say there's nothin' left to say
For the man who set the beat
So I'll leave it up to you out there
To get him back on his feet

Buster bowl me over with your bogus dance
Shuffle me off my feet
Even though I'll keep on runnin'
I'll never get to Orange Street

Bring back the
Who is the
We want the
Bring back the Prince ..... aahh!
