LYRICS

Verse 1
When ah reach the savannah, I want to be in the front
of the bands that ah playing.
On the bull track ah going, where all dem bands at dey best
and no prisoners dey taking.
It is on this stage the music happening
To see dem players galavanting
It is here dey warming up, (3 times)
From Memorial Park to the grand stage.

Chorus
On the bull track, on the bull track
Arrangers re-arrange dey song.
On the bull track, on the bull track
And dem crack-shots get it down.
On the bull track, on the bull track
Ah pan man just get the axe.
On the bull track on the bull track
Look he coming out the rack
On the bull track (3 times)
The music keep playing on.

Verse 2
Desperadoes supporters, come from the hill with dey band.
And dey waiting for ruction.
Andre in the front section, jumping around by his pan
And he looking for action.
He say ten years now, the band eh win ah thing
So all dem players prime and waiting.
If you hear dem tenors ring (3 times)
From Memorial Park to the grand stage.

Chorus
On the bull track on the bull track
People jumping in the band
On the bull track on the bull track
Plenty rum and hard iron
On the bull track, on the bull track
The drummer just buss the drum
On the bull track, on the bull track
But the rhythm carrying on
On the bull track (3 times)
The music keep playing on.

Bridge
I never get weary yet (2 times)
The music in meh soul ah losing control
But ah never get weary yet
I never get weary yet (2 times)
The music in meh soul ah losing control
But ah never get weary yet - Aye

Verse 3
From the time of inception, the ’rama start on this track
And has left ah big hallmark.
All dem big time arrangers has exercise their prowess
As they prepare for contest.
It had Bobby Mohammed’s Guinness Cavaliers
Tony Williams’ Pan Am North Stars
It was here they got their rep (3 times)
From Memorial Park to the grand stage.

Chorus
On the bull track, on the bull track
Bradley with the Toco Band.
On the bull track, on the bull track
Samaroo with iron man.
On the bull track, on the bull track
Professor - Pan By Storm.
On the bull track, on the bull track
Pelham with the band plays on
On the bull track (3 times)
The music keep playing on

“On the Bull Track” marks Roland Lyons’ maiden attempt of commercially launching a pan tune in time for the upcoming 2011 Carnival season. However, Roland is by no means a stranger to the pan fraternity having played with some of the best Steel Orchestras in Trinidad and Tobago over a span of 20 years. Some of the bands on his résumé are Cordettes, Exodus, Pamberi, Desperadoes and Phase II Pan Groove.

For the production of the composition On the Bull Track, Roland teamed up with arrangers/upcoming producers Amrit Samaroo and Kareem Browne. This partnership was natural since they were all friends at the University of the West Indies whilst pursuing Bachelor of Arts in Music degrees.

The objective of writing On the Bull Track says Roland, is to salute all the great bands, arrangers, and supporters past and present who have left indelible memories on the “strip” from Memorial Park to the Grand Savannah stage in Port-of-Spain.
