Vol. 1-best Of 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 carefull 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)

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 necer dies


(chorus)

Don`t break my heart


Repeat last verse


Chorus


Fade

Red, red wine
Go to my head
Make me forget that i
Still need her so

Red, red wine
It`s up to you
All i can do, i`ve done
But mem`ries won`t go
No, mem`ries won`t go


I`d have thought
That with time
Thoughts of her
Would leave my head
I was wrong
And i find
Just one thing makes me forget


Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don`t let me be alone
It`s tearin` apart
My blue, blue heart

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, does`nt 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.

they say we`re young and we don`t know
Won`t find out till we grow
Well i don`t babay that`s true
Cause you got me and 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 lot
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, to wear my ring
And when i`m sad, you`re a clown
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 do wrong
And put your 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 hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you i won`t let go
I got you to love me so
I got you, babe

(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
