I can't stop singin' the Melodians reggae version of this ol' hymn about bein' held captive. It's on the "Harder They Come" soundtrack. It reminds me of how I felt when I was a prisoner in $tr8. Here is the original version as printed in my "Sabbath and Festival Prayer Book" :
"If I Forget Thee, Oh Jerusalem"("By The Rivers of Babylon")
By the rivers of Babylon,
There we sat down, yea, we wept,
When we remembered Zion
There, upon the willows we hung up our harps.
Our captors demanded a song,
And our tormentors bade us be merry:
'Sing us a song of Zion.'
But how could we sing a song of the Lord,
Here in a foreign land ??

I went away to see an old friend of mine
His sister came over she was out of her mind
She said Jesus had a twin who knew nothing about sin
She was laughing like crazy at the trouble I'm in
Her light eyes were dancing she is insane
Her brother says she's just a bitch with a golden chain
She keeps coming closer saying "I can feel it in my bones
Schizophrenia is taking me home"
My Future is static
It's already had it
I could tuck you in
And we can talk about it
I had a dream
And it split the scene
But I got a hunch
It's coming back to me

"Antidote"
Bitter taste
In your mouth
It's too late to get it out
Everytime
I'm around you
Try to leave but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison
Second try
To say goodbye
Kick the habit but
I'll be standing in your way
You want antidote I got the poison

Free- is all that she could bleed
That's why'll she'll never stay
White- bare naked in the night
Just lookin' for some play
Just another girl that wants to rule the world
Any time or place
And when she gets into your head
You know she's there to stay
You want it
She's got it
Molly's Chambers gonna change your mind
She's got your
Your pistol
Slow- She's burnin' in your soul
With whispers in your ear
It's okay I'll give it anyway
Just get me out of here
You'll plead- you'll get down on your knees
For just another taste
And when you think she's let you in
That's when she fades away
You want it
She's got it
Molly's Chambers gonna change your mind
She's got your
Your pistol
