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 but 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 underprevileged stare
I'm a beggar on the corner can no one spare a dime
I'm the child that never learns to read
'cus no one's spared the time.

Refrain

I'm the murderer the victim I'm licensed with a gun
I'm a sad and bruised old lady in an alley in the slums
I'm a middle aged business man with a chronic heart disease
I'm another teenage suicide in a street that has no trees.

Refrain

I'm a starving third-world mother I'm a refugee without a home
I'm a housewife hooked on valium I'm a pensioner alone
I'm a cancer ridden spectre that's covering the earth
I'm another hungry baby I'm an accident of birth.

Refrain

Red red wine goes to my head
Makes me forget that I still need you so

Red red wine
It's up to you
All I can do I've done
Memories won't go
Memories won't go

I have sworn every time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I've found
Just one thing makes me forget...

Red red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue blue heart

I have sworn every time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I've found
Just one thing makes me forget...

Red red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be alone
It's tearing apart
My blue blue heart

repeat last verse

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 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 stabben in the back and there's salt in the wound
Then it's time to move along

Chorus

No more spanners in the works, all the work's been done
Had your face rubbed in the dirt
On show for everyone
But believe me, if it happens again I'm leaving
If it stays the same I'm gone
When compromise is the song that you sing
It's been going on too long.

Chorus

<< Here I Am (Come And Take Me) >>
--- UB40

I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide

I know it's you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

Chorus

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah

It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart in two halves

Ooh I know it's you and me babe
That makes the world go round
Ah keeping you in love with me baby
Laying all my troubles down

Chorus

Here I am babe, come and take me
Here I am babe, wont ya come and take me
Take me by the hand, ooh show me
Here I am babe, oooooaaah

Repeat Chorus

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 seize the control from your hands
We will fan the flame
Of our anger and pain
And you'll feel the shame
For what you do in god's name
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 sing
Forward africa run
Our day of freedom has come
For me and for you
Amandla awethu
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

they say we're young and we don't know, won't find out until we grow
well i don't know babe if that is true, cause you got me and baby i got you
babe i got you babe i got you babe

they say our love won't pay the rent

before it's served our money's always spent
i guess that so we don't have a lot

the least i'm sure of all the things we've got
babe i got you babe i got you babe

i've got flowers in the spring

i've got you to wear my ring
and when i'm sad you're around

and when i get scared you're always around
so let them say your hair's too long

i don't care with you i can't go wrong
then put your little hand in mine

there ain't no hill or mountain we can't climb
babe i got you babe i got you babe

i've got you to hold my hand
i've got you to understand
i've got you to walk with me

i've got you to talk with me
i've got to kiss goodnight
i've got you to hold me tight
i got you and won't let go
i've got you to love me so
i got you babe
repeat the last line for a while.

I get my kicks from watching people
Running too and fro
And if you ask them where they`re going
Half of the don`t know
They`re the ones who think I`m crazy
But they don`t realize

(Chorus)

That I`m just groovin, groovin
Grooving out on life
I`m just groovin ooh grovin
Grovin till I die


I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It`s so good to be free
I`ve got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I`m just groovin ......


(Middle Eight)


I see a river flowing by me
Heading for the sea
I get a feeling deep inside me
It`s so good to be free
I`ve got sunshine in the daytime
And moonlight every night
And I`m just groovin ......


(Chorus)

That I`m just groovin, groovin
Grooving out on life
I`m just groovin ooh grovin
Grovin till I die

<< The Way You Do The Things You Do >>
--- UB40

You got a smile so bright
You know you could have been a candle
I'm holding you so tight
You know you could have been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know you could've been a broom
And baby you smell so sweet
You know you could've been some perfume

Chorus

Well you could of been anything that you wanted to
I can tell
The way you do the things you do

As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book

Chorus

Well you could of been ....... Etc

You make my life so rich
You know you could've been some money
And baby you're so sweet
You know you could have been some honey

Chorus

Well you could of been ....... Etc

As pretty as you are
You know you could've been a flower
If good looks were minutes
You know you could have been an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know you could have been a crook
And baby your so smart
You know you could have been a school book

Chorus

Well you could of been ....... Etc

Moon and stars sit way up high
Earth and trees beneath them lie
The wind blows fragrant lullaby
To cool the night for you and I
On the wing the birds fly free
Leviathan tames angry sea
The flower waits for honeybee
The sunrise wakes new life in me.

(CHORUS)

And every hour of every day I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...


The fishes swim while rivers run
Thru fields to feast my eyes upon
Intoxicated drinking from
The loving cup of burning sun
In dreams I'll crave familiar taste
Of whispered rain on weary face
Of kisses sweet and warm embrace
Another time another place


(CHORUS)

And every hour of everyday I'm learning more
The more I learn, the less I know about before
The less I know, the more I want to look around
Digging deep for clues on higher ground...

You say you are going to leave me
I`m begging you to stay
My baby I can`t get through any way
No I can`t
And when I wake up in the morning
You are gone
Little pretty thing
You know I`ll be all alone

(Chorus)

You`ll hear me crying (mmmmmmm)
Please don`t make me cry (mmm mmmm)
`cos I can`t say good-bye (mmmmm)
Please don`t make me cry
Because I know
There will be nothing left for me


All them good good times
We spent together
You said it was me and no other (yeah)
And now you want to make me pain inside
Darlin` I Know you are going to make me cry


(Chorus)

You`ll hear me ..... etc


All this pain I can`t stand it
You`re going to leave
You`re going to leave this poor man on his own
Yes you are (mmmmm)


(Chorus)

You`ll hear me ..... etc


All this pain I can`t stand it
You`re going to leave
You`re going to leave this poor man on his own
Yes you are
Please don`t make me cry
Baby I`m Pleading

The night seems to fade,
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone
The stars shine so bright,
But they`re fading after dawn
There is magic in kingston town

(chorus)

Oh kingston town,
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see, the girls at play
Ooh, ooh, ooh

And when I am king,
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She`ll be waiting in kingston town

(chorus)

And when I am king,
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king,
And my queen will come at dawn
She`ll be waiting in kingston town

Come back darling
Give me another try
I'll make you satisfied

Don't you know, I need you badly
And I'll give my poor heart gladly
I need your love like roses need the rain
Don't let me cry in pain

Come back darling
Give me another try
I'll make you satisfied

Can't you see the love still burning
Please return, relieve my yearning
A day without you is like a year of emptiness
Please return and bring me happiness

Come back darling
Give me another try
I'll make you satisfied

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 you'll wish that you had not
You'll wish that you had not

[Chorus]

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]

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]

Cherry oh, Cherry oh, Baby!

Cho Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby,
Don`t you know I`m in love with you?
If you don`t believe it`s true,
What else is there for me to do?
Look how long I,ve been waiting,
For you to come right in.
And now that we are together,
Please make all my joys come over.

(Chorus)

Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.


Cho Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don`t you see I`m in love with you?
If you don`t believe I do,
Then why don`t you try me?
I will never let you down,
I will never make you wear no frown.
If you say that you love me madly,
Well babe I'll accept you gladly.


(Chorus)


Cho Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don`t you see I`m in love with you?

Then why don`t you try me?
I will never let you down,
I will never make you wear no frown.
If you say that you love me madly,
Well babe I'll accept you gladly.

(Chorus)

CHRISSIE:
You've been crying your face is a mess
Come in baby, you can wipe the tears on my dress
She's hurt you again, I can tell
I know that look so well


ALI:

Don't be shy, we've been here before
Pull your shoes LIE DOWN,
And I will lock the door
And no-one has to know, I've come here again
Knowing it'll be like it's always been before


(CHORUS)

CHRISSIE & ALI:

Breakfast In Bed, Kisses For Me
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, love can make you sing


CHRISSIE:

What's your hurry, please don't hit and run
We can let her wait, my darling its been so long


ALI:

Since you've had me here, I've returned again
Darling it will be like it's always been before


Repeat Chorus And Fade

There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat.

When you open your mouth you don't talk, you shout
And you give everybody the blame,
But when they catch you up,
They will shut you up
And you got no one to blame

There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat.

When you out on the street,
You practice lies and deceit
And you scandalize my name
But when I catch you up
I'm gonna pull you up
I'm gonna check-out inside your brain

There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat.

When you deh pon the scene,
You make everyone scream
Because they know you're so unjust
But when they catch you up
They will kick you up
Because you're someone they cannot trust

There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do?
There's a rat in mi kitchen, what am I gonna do,
I'm gonna fix that rat, that's what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna fix that rat.

You invade my space
Make me feel disgraced
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

It must have broke your poor little heart
When the boys used to say,
you looked better in the dark.
But now they`d give all they learnt in school
To be somewhere in the dark with you

The teacher would ask the questions
And you, would always raise your hand
But somehow you never got your turn
And my eyes would fill with water, inside I`d burn


(Chorus)

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh yes you are
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh yeah


There was a boy who used to sit beside you
Who`d like to hold that place his whole life through
Oooh you were beautiful to me
You had a heart no one could ever see, oh yes you did


(Chorus)

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh homely girl


I was the only one who offered
To carry your books
Took all the stares and laughter
And the dirty looks
Cause I saw then what they see now
They all want to ask you for a date
They don`t know how, they don`t know how


(Chorus)

Homely girl, you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman oh yeah
Homely girl you used to be so lonely
You`re a beautiful woman, ooh yea, ooh hoo
You`re a beautiful woman

Now I know your secret
I promise that I'll keep it
So confidentially
Between just you and me, I'll never leak it

I'm the specialist
I know you can't resist
I'll bypass your alarm
No need to twist my arm, I insist

If you're looking for a war
There's a market for betrayal
Don't ask me what I saw
Y'know my secrets not for sale
Don't ask me what I heard
Y'know I promised not to say
I said I'd never breathe a word
Until my dying day

Well seeing is believing
No use it in your deceiving
For now I know it's true
It's you that holds the clue, I'll be leaving

Now I've got to say goodbye
You know I have to fly
When you get the third degree
And the truth don't set you free, You've got to lie

If you're looking for a war
There's a market for betrayal
Don't ask me what I saw
Y'know my secrets not for sale
Don't ask me what I heard
Y'know I promised not to say
I said I'd never breathe a word
Until my dying day

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry he home

I looked over Jordan and what did I see
Coming for to carry he home
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home

If you get there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Tell all my friends I'm coming too
Coming for to carry me home

Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
