Steel Pulse lyrics refer to a woman who is playing with other men while her husband is not there. Simple as that. A fool-around, playing woman, a party girl, a cheater, whatever you want to call it.
Anyway, Steel Pulse got a bit of a beating when they released that one concerning those lyrics.
'leggo beast' in general means a person who is let off everything, gone wild, meaning an disturbed person, off the track etc.

Steel Pulse had a large following in the white, liberal student's in England. Some of them snuffed at them because they condemned woman's behaviour in that song. Free love don't match with Rasta, seen ;)

Check this album for a 'leggo beast' reference.

Track #2. Within 'lyrics'...not the 'title'.

Could I revive this question?

The meaning of the term "leggo beast" in the Steel Pulse song seems pretty straightforward. But what of the term used in the Abyssinians's song of the same title?

*Here come some wicked men
Coming fe hurt me and me friend
Acting like a wild pagan
Peeping like a leggo beast
To a cannibals fierce*

Do you think that here to the reference is to a promiscuous woman?

Leggo Beast = Jezebel?

Thanks.
