UB40 - Songs By Terrence Wilson (Astro) Tribute

Oh my God, it's a long, long way from here, don't you worry yourself, my dear. It's a long, long way from here. You should not shed a little tear. A stagey celebration just to show how much you care. It's a long, long way from here. Don't you worry yourself, my dear. It's a long, long way from here. It's a long, long way from here. Don't you worry yourself, my dear. It's a long, long way from here. Hypocrisy and lies. You talk of understanding, is a wayward disguise. You glorify my image but deny me flesh and blood. You radiate with goodness when you hear me beg for food. Those rivers of blood will flow again. Someone changed the lyric but the song remains the same. You can build a wall of protocols to keep the wounds at bay, but history dictates such someone has to pay. It's a long, long way from here. Don't you worry yourself, my dear. It's a long, long way from here. It's a long, long way from here. I once knew a man who wore self-righteousness like a medal on his inflated chest. He hated all people for breaking his rules, looked down with distaste on the cowards and fools. He lived like a king in his castle of stone and sneered at the man who worked hard for his own.

Oh no, the tongue of mighty might speak with the loudest voice. Oh no, but not everybody has the luxury of choice. Oh no, some people search for the Holy Grail, run round in circles and chase a on their own tails, but you can't really blame them for clutching at straws, for needing some truth in our morals and laws. Some people said that the revolution would descend on this country, send this confusion. We followed the privileged, boasted, preached on the promise, but the want is still out of reach. John Smith, a man who wore self-righteousness like a medal on his inflated chest, he hated all people for breaking his rules. —look down in his face. I'm the cowboy to the moon. He lived like a king in his castle of stone. I sneered at the man who were after his own. He knew all the right words and pulled through. And I would be the conviction, the working man's friend. Contaminate your minds, be judge and jury too. Oh no, but contaminate your minds and blind to the truth. Oh yeah, contaminate your minds, be with the loudest voice, oh no. But not everybody has a luxury of choice, oh no. Contaminating minds be judge and jury too, oh no. Contaminating minds are blind to the truth, oh hey. Contaminating minds speak with the loudest voice, oh no. Love is greater than you. I would say sensibilia. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Why would this murder? The SPG said, "Nap on the street."
