is there anyone who can give me a link to the lyrics of LBS's Pan Army, or maybe send the words to me? Eight members of the PanGanG are joining Real Steel (Plymouth) for the London Panorama 2010. RS is playing a Leroy Clarke arrangement of this song and I would like to understand the message, but it's not so easy. Any help ist greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot, WerNer

This is as close to it as I can get!
Pan competition (Panorama) is akin to war.
Boogsie is the General, and Phase II Pan Groove ( or your band of choice) is the army.
Phase II were beaten last year in the competition, and the intended to be victorious this year.
As we know from history, steelbands are extremely competitive with each other, and the competiton is resolved in battle.
Thank God the battlefield is a musical one , and the battleground is the big stage on Panorama night.
I think it's best you just listen to the song, the words are pretty clear, because I myself cannot find any lyrics to the song online, unfortunately.
Good Luck
By the way: Real Steel are #3 at the UK-Panorama 2010.
