Biografía:
Steel Pulse originalmente formado por David Hinds (voz, guitarra), Basil Gabbidon (guitara, voz) and Ronnie McQueen (bajo) en Handsworth Wood Boys School, Birmingham, UK.
Es Hinds quien, como letrista, ha estado siempre detrás de Steel Pulse, desde sus comienzos en la Birmingham club scene en adelante. Formados en 1975, su álbum debut, 'Kibudu, Mansetta And Abuku" se editó en la pequeña discográfica independiente Dip, y se unió a la situación de la "juventud negra" urbana con la imagen de una gran África como hogar.

...ROLLER SKATES... by Steel Pulse
-------------------...............
*from 'Earth Crisis' (1984)*
Intro:
Am, Dm, Am, Em
Am Dm, E7 (x4)
Verse 1:
Am Dm E7
Out on the corner with my roller skates,
Am Dm E7
Having fun with the girls, says I'm feeling great, woah.
Am Dm E7
In the dark of the night, street lamps glowing,
Am Dm E7
On full blast is my radio, radio.
Interlude:
Am Dm, E7 (x2)
Verse 2:
Am Dm E7
Up comes this guy in his flashy car; in his mouth, stuck a big cigar.
Am Dm E7
Needed my help, said he lost his way; I never heard, a word he said.
Am Dm
To find some street; said he wanted in-structions,
E7 Am Dm E7
So I turned down the music, to point out di-rections, guess what?
Bridge 1:
Am Dm E7
Guy jumped on me, messed up my clothes; smashed and grabbed my radio.
Am Dm E7
Calling all detectives; a criminal at large, smoking,
Am Dm E7
A big fat cigar, in a flashy car, and think him some super-star.
Chorus 1:
Am Dm E7
Life, life without music, I can't go, go no.
Am Dm E7
Life without music, I can't go no.
Interlude:
Am Dm E7
I'm gonna get him, the last thing I do,
Am Dm E7
Must get a beating, 'till him red and blue.
Verse 3:
Am Dm E7
Didn't take long to catch him; parked up car and music blasting.
Am Dm E7
On the sidewalk he was dancing, stealing the show; the people watching.
Am Dm E7
Roller skate gang was hot on his tracks,
Am Dm E7
Stick him up mister; give me back, give me back,
Am Dm E7
Give me back, give me back, my radio.
Bridge 2:
Am Dm E7
Guy jumped on me, messed up my clothes; smashed and grabbed my radio.
Am Dm E7
Calling all detectives; a criminal at large, smoking,
Am Dm E7
A big fat cigar, in a flashy car, and think him some super-star.
Chorus 2:
Am Dm E7
Life, life without music, I can't go, go no.
Am Dm E7
Life without music, I can't go no.
Break:
Am
Jumped up on me, messed up my clothes,
Dm E7
Smashed and grabbed my radio.
Am
Can't get away, crime don't pay,
Dm E7 Am Bm
(Smashed and grabbed my radio).
Can't get away with... that.
*KEY CHANGE*

Bm Em F#7 Bm
Life without music, bimma! Murder style, (I can't go).

Samuel Thomas is the thief name; he must lead a life of shame.

Uncle Sam and Uncle Tom, yes, they are the same man.
