1. _ Don't Break My Heart
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

You say you are going to leave me

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

4. _ Breakfast In Bed
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 off,
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)

Breakfast in bed, kisses for me
You don't have to say you love me
Breakfast in bed, love can make you sing

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

5. _ Sing Our Own Song
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 rythms 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

6. _ Food For Thought
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.

7. _ I Got You Babe
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

8. _ Rat In Mi Kitchen
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen what am i gonna do?
There`s a rat in me kitchen what am i gonna go?
I`m gonna fix that rat thats 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 every body the blame,
But when they catch you up,
They will shut you up
And you got no one to blame
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen ........
When you out on the street,
You practice lies and deceipt
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
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen .......
When yo deh pon the scene,
You make everyone scream
Because they know your so unjust
But when they catch you up
They will kick you up
Because you someone they cannot trust
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen .......
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
(chorus)
There`s a rat in me kitchen .....
(repeat chorus and fade)

9. _ One In Ten
(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

10. _ If It Happens Again
(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 som
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 .....
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 .....
