UB40

UB40

UB40 es un grupo inglés de música pop reggae y dub formado en Birmingham, Inglaterra en 1978. Sus ocho componentes son amigos desde la infancia, de varias razas y procedentes de la clase obrera: Ali Campbell, James Brown, Robin Campbell, Earl Falconer, Norman Hassan, Brian Travers, Michael Virtue y Astro. Compraron sus primeros instrumentos con el dinero que Ali Campbell recibió como compensación de una pelea en un bar, aunque algunos de ellos todavía no sabían tocarlos. Extrajeron su nombre del formulario de petición de pago del seguro de desempleo, Unemployment Benefit Form 40, debido a que los 8 miembros del grupo se encontraban en paro.

Letra de The Elevator
1st floor decide what you'll be one day
With a head full of comment and nothing to say
2nd floor mixed up it happens that way
Soon you realize that listening don't pay
3rd floor in limbo, no easy moves
Up or down it's time to choose

(Chorus)

The elevators going up
Quick the door's about to shut
Too late we're full just hang around
It won't be long - it won't be long before it's down

4th floor the job hunt and all that you ask
Is an honest day's pay for an honest day's graft
5th floor you may make a little more money
Now it's apparent downstairs ain't so fuuny
6th floor a mortgage, a collar and tie
2 weeks vacation in june or july

(Chorus)

7th floor expenses and private schools
Pushing a pen you're not turning the tools
8th floor position, respect and acclaim
Move up the 9th for fortune or fame
10th floor for investment and real estate
Recouping the redies before it's tool late
11th floor the penthouse the final cut
With a head full of comment and a mouth that stays shut

(Chorus)
