Junior Murvin

Junior Murvin (born Murvin Junior Smith, circa 1949, Port Antonio, Jamaica) is a Jamaican reggae musician. He is best known for the single "Police and Thieves", produced by Lee "Scratch" Perry in 1976. Murvin's soaring voice and the infectious rhythm made "Police and Thieves" into an international hit during the summer of that year. It peaked at #23 in the UK Singles Chart in 1980. The song was influential and it was recorded by the punk rock pioneers The Clash on their debut album, released in 1977. Australian musician Paul Kelly makes a reference to Murvin in his Christmas song, "How To Make Gravy". more »

Somebody better call a doctor, doctor
Or wake me up with a shove
I'm gonna knock you off your rocker, rocker
'Cause I think I'm in love
I tried to get a message to ya
But you walked the other way
I need your magic touch, don't you know
I've got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burnin' slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
'Cause I can't let go
Don't need no wedding with a shotgun, shotgun
So don't you push me too far
Don't try to take me for a fool child, who child
Do you think that you are
You really got it coming to ya
It's gonna come as no surprise
I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now I can't let go
Take it easy, take it slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
'Cause I can't let go
You never know what you got
Till they take it away
I'm comin' ready or not
Gonna get you some day
I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now I can't let go
Feel the fire, burnin' slow
I got a habit and I'm back for more
Your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and now I can't let go
Feel the fire, burnin' slow
You better get it while it's hot now babe
'Cause I can't, can't, can't let you go
