(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love

UB40 🙂

“(I Can’t Help) Falling In Love”

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay, would it be a sin
If I can’t help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too
For I can’t help falling in love with you
For I can’t help falling in love with you

Try If You Want

I love the words to this song.

Beres Hammond ❤

“Try If You Want”

As poor as I am I’ve got my ambition
Keep my distance from war and contention
I might not be rich but I sure got style
Got some good friends,
But still some who hate me
tell their lies
And still that don’t quake me
The joy thats inside
Brings out my healthy smile

Try if you want
Can’t stop me
Lie if you want
Still won’t move me
Won’t move me
Nooo
Won’t move me,at all.(x2)
I know who I am
I don’t let nobody
Underestimate me and you’ll end up sorry
The father will humble you like a child
Oh Yeah
I’m getting stronger
So much stronger
Day by day
I’m getting stronger
So much stronger
Can’t move me
Can’t move me
Nooo

Try if you want
Can’t stop me
Lie if you want
Still won’t move me
Won’t move me
Nooo
Won’t move me,at all.(x2)

Amidst all the pressures
I’ve still got to make it
Always pushing
The sky is my limit
So keep your idle talk
I don’t have the time
There’s so much in life
If you’re willing to earn it
I’ll give you some of mine
But please don’t stress it
Awake from the slumber
Open up your eyes
Try if you want
Can’t stop me
Lie if you want
Still won’t move me
Won’t move me
Nooo
Won’t move me,at all.(x2)
I’m getting stronger
So much stronger(stronger and stronger)
And you can’t move me, no (can’t move me,can’t move me)
Poor as I am I’ve got my ambition
Keep my distance from war and contention
I might not be rich but I sure got style
Got some good friends,
But still some who hate me
Tell their lies
And still that don’t quake me
The joy thats inside
Brings out my healthy smile
Try if you want
Can’t stop me
Lie if you want
Still won’t move me
Won’t move me
Nooo
Won’t move me,at all.(x3)

Kingston Town

This song reminds me of my beloved grandfather. The video clips of people arriving from the Caribbean makes me wonder how he felt when he had to leave my grandmother and three children behind, to find a better life for them in the UK. Although invited over, as England/Britain ‘owned’ Jamaica at the time, he must have felt so alone (and perhaps scared at first) until his family joined him some time later.

February 19th will be fifteen years since he passed.

I still miss him. ❤

“Kingston Town”

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

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

Continuing the reggae theme… Beres Hammond again.

 

“Try If You Want”

Wooo, Yeah!

As poor as I am I’ve got my ambition

The joy thats inside
Brings out my healthy smile

Still won’t move me
Won’t move me
Nooo
Won’t move me,at all.(x2)

Day by day
I’m getting stronger
So much stronger
Can’t move me
Can’t move me
