1.King
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
King, where are your people now？
Chained and pacified.
Tried in vain to show them how.
And for that you died.
You had a dream of a promised land.
People of all nations walking hand in hand
But they're not ready to accept
That dream situation, yet.
King, where are your people now？
Chained and pacified.
Tried in vain to show them how.
And for that you died.
2.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.

4.The Earth Dies Screaming
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
A warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence,
The highways quiet scars across the land.
People lie, eyes closed, no longer dreaming,
The earth dies screaming.
Like scattered pebbles, cars lie silent waiting,
Oilless engines seized by dirt and sand.
Bodies hanging limp, no longer bleeding,
The earth dies screaming.
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you, lets strike up the band.
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land.
Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables,
Money clutched within a boney hand.
Shutters down, the banks are not receiving,
The earth dies screaming.
5.Dream A Lie
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
Why do I have to dream of you when I don't want to dream a lie？
Why do I have to dream of you when I don't want to dream a lie？
There never was a better time
For trying to set the words to rhyme
Of when a golden love turns blue
And dreams of dreams that won't come true
Every night I call your name
We're still together just the same
A lonely room, an empty bed
It always seems that way
6.Don't Let It Pass You By
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
There's no-one coming with that freedom train.
There's nowhere you can go where you feel no pain.
Take the blinkers off you eye's,
The power is in your hand.
Stop waiting for your ticket to the promised land.
There ain't no heaven and there ain't no hell.
Except the one we're in, and you know to well
There's no-one waiting on,
Waiting on a higher high.
Don't let the only world you're ever gonna live in pass you by.
7.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.
8.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

You say you are going to leave me

11.Many Rivers To Cross
Lyrics：Jimmy Cliff
Music：Jimmy Cliff
Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
My woman left and she didn't say why
Well I guess, I gotta try.
Many rivers to cross but where to begin,
I'm playing for time
There'll be times when I find myself thinking
Of committing some dreadful crime.
I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost as I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover
Many rivers to cross and it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked, washed up for years and,
I merely survive because of my pride.

Lyrics：Eric Donaldson
Music：Eric Donaldson
Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in need of thee？
If you don't believe it's true,
What have you left me to do？
So long I've been waiting,
For you to come right in.
And now that we are together,
Please make my joy run over.
Chorus
Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in love with you？
If you don't believe I do,
Then why don't you try me？
I'm never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then I will receive you gladly.
Chorus
Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don't you know I'm in love with you？
If you don't believe I do,
Then why don't you try me？
I'm never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then why do you treat me badly.

13.If It Happens Again
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
Chorus
If it happens again I'm leaving
I'll pack my things and go
If it happens again
There'll be no looking back
I won't say I told you so
You did what you were told
And you took the strain
Been left out in the cold
Got yourself to blame
But believe me,
If it happens again I'm leaving
If it stays the same I'm gone
When you're stabbed in the back
And there's salt in the wound
The it's time to move along
Chorus
If it happens ..... Etc
No more spanners in the works,
All the works been done
Had your face rubbed in the dirt
On show for every one
But believe me
If it happens again I'm leaving
If it stays the same I'm gone
When compromise is the song you sing
It's been going on to long
Chorus
If it happens ..... Etc
14.I Got You Babe
Lyrics：Sonny Bono
Music：Sonny Bono
Vocal：Ub40／Chrissie Hynde
They say we're young and we don't know
Won't find out till we grow
Well I don't know why that's true
Cause you got me baby, I got you
Chorus
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earn'd our money's always spent
I guess that's so, we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Chorus
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.
I got flowers in the spring
I got you, you wear my ring
And when I'm sad, you're a clown
And if I get scared you're always around
And then they say your hair's too long
But I don't care, with you I can't do wrong
Then put your warm little hand in mine
There ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
Chorus
Babe, I got you babe, I got you, Babe.
I got you to hold my
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won't let go
I got you who loves me so
I got you, babe
15.Don't Break My Heart
Lyrics：Ub40／Deborah Banks
Music：Ub40
You shoot me down in flames
You put me down a lot
But I'm giving you my heart
Go on take it
Please be careful not to break it
Just remember it's the only one I've got
It's the only one I've
Chorus
Don't break my heart
You make me laugh a lot
And buy me silly things
And I'd rather be with you than anyone else
But if you make me mad
But if you make me mad
You'll wish that you had not
You'll wish that you had not
Chorus
Don't break my heart
Where are the roses and whispered sighs
Where are the compliments and dreaming eyes
It doesn't matter you see
I know you love me
And real basic love never dies
Chorus
Don't break my heart
16.Sing Our Own Song
Lyrics：Ub40
Music：Ub40
The great flood of tears that we've cried
For our brothers and sisters who've died
Over four hundred years
Has washed away our fears
And strengthened our pride
Now we turn back the tide
We will no longer hear your command
We will sieze the control from your hand
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in gods name
Chorus
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song
When the ancient drum rhythms ring
The voice of our forefathers sings
Forward Africa run
Our day of freedom has come
For me and for you
Amandla Awethu
Chorus
We will fight for the right to be free
We will build our own society
And we will sing, we will sing
We will sing our own song

There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do？

And you just don't give a damn
If I had my way
If I had my say
I'd like to see you hang

18.Maybe Tomorrow
Lyrics：The Corporation
Music：Ub40
I don't know how many stars there are
Up in the heavenly skies
I only know my heaven is here on earth
Each time you look into my eyes
You are all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
My beautiful bird you have flown away
I held you too tight I can see
You are all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
You are the book that I am reading baby
Your are the song that I sing
Your are the four seasons in my life
But maybe tomorrow you will change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow you will come back in my arms
You are all I need to get by
No-one else can make me cry
The way you do baby
You are the book that I am reading baby
Your are the song that I sing
Your are the four seasons in my life
But maybe tomorrow you will change your mind girl
Maybe tomorrow you will change your mind
Maybe tomorrow you will change your mind
