1.Food For Thought
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Barren is her bosom, empty as her eyes,
Death a certain harvest scattered from the skies.
Skin and bones is creeping, doesn't know he's dead.
Ancient eyes are peeping, from his infant head.
Politician's argue sharpening their knives.
Drawing up their bargains, trading baby lives.
Chorus
Ivory madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Hear the bells are ringing, Christmas on it's way.
Hear the angels singing, what is that they say？
Eat and drink rejoicing, joy is here to stay.
Jesus son of Mary is born again today.
Chorus
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
Ivory Madonna dying in the dust,
Waiting for the manna coming from the west.
2.Sardonicus
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
A human statue made of living stone
A paradox etched in human bone
If you could look behind his thin disguise
There's a hidden glint of madness in his eyes.
Many men are fooled by his smile
His superficial grace his charm his style
Sardonicus is everybody's friend
Sardonicus keeps smiling to the end.
3.Don't Slow Down
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
You might believe, and still you feel the chase has just begun.
That you must reach that horizon before the setting of the sun.
You chase the light in front of you, nightfall close behind.
If you stop to catch your breath, you know what you will find.
Chorus
Don't slow down don't touch the ground.
You know what you will find.
That old grey man in tattered clothes following behind.
No time to stop, don't go to sleep, prepare to pay the cost.
The hours and minutes are passing by, another day is lost.
Impatience is a virtue, catch me if you can.
The seconds have been ticking by since your life began.

5.Tyler
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
Appeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It's been nearly five years
And they won't let him go
Chorus
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers its all for show
With rows of white faces
False accusations
He's framed up for murder
They won't let him go
Chorus
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler ..... Etc
Police gun was planted
No matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They show him no mercy
They won't let him go
Chorus
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler...... Etc
Appeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It's been nearly five years
And they won't let him go
Chorus
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it's not so
Tyler .... Etc
6.Present Arms
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
You got no job you got no pay
Join the military, sign today
They'll take you off to fight on foreign shores
You'll be your mother's pride and joy
Her armed and dangerous golden boy
A uniformed hero that shows no fear
The khaki ranks of flesh and steel
Learning how to smile and kill
They'll teach you to ignore the screams and tears
7.The Piper Calls The Tune
8.Love Is All Is Alright
9.Burden Of Shame
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40／Van Morrison
There are murders that we must account for
Bloody deeds have been done in my name
Criminal acts we must pay for
And our children will shoulder the blame
Chorus
I'm a British subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame Repeat
As a nation we're following blindly
No-one stops to question why
Our money's supporting an army
And a boy in Soweto dies
Chorus
I'm a British subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame Repeat
Must we go on ignoring forever
The cries of an African son
There's a soldier's hand on the trigger
But it's we who are pointing the gun
Chorus
I'm a British subject, not proud of it
While I carry the burden of shame
Repeat
10.One In Ten
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
Chorus
I am the one in ten
A number on a list
I am the one in ten
Even though I don't exist
Nobody knows me
Even though I'm always there
A statistic, a reminder
Of a world that doesn't care
My arms enfold the dole queue
Malnutrition dulls my hair
My eyes are black and lifeless
With an underprivileged stare
I'm the beggar on the corner
Will no-one spare a dime？
I'm the child that never learns to read
'Cause no-one spared the time
Chorus
I am the one in ten .... etc
I'm the murderer and the victim
The licence with the gun
I'm a sad and bruised old lady
In an ally in a slum
I'm a middle aged businessman
With chronic heart disease
I'm another teenaged suicide
In a street that has no trees
Chorus
I am the one in ten .... etc
I'm a starving third world mother
A refugee without a home
I'm a house wife hooked on valium
I'm a Pensioner alone
I'm a cancer ridden spectre
Covering the earth
I'm another hungry baby
I'm an accident of birth.
Chorus
I am the one in ten .... etc
