I first heard Skylarking in 1994, on the excellent two-disc compilation Respect to Studio One. The song has to do with Jamaican teens driving around in their Buick Skylarks...just kidding. It is Horace Andy's observation of Jamaican teens begging for money on street corners, instead of working hard to find an honest way to be self-sufficient. The song has a great saxophone hook and cool double-tracked vocals.
