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 C'est La Vie
A woman came and said to me
She'd seen a lady sell her baby
For ten or twenty dollars maybe
And everybody thinks she's crazy
They're too blind to see
She never failed to call attention
To the things we never mention
Real horror, daily, courtesy of your tv
C'est la vie

(chorus)

A woman came and said to me
Now listen very carefully
There's brother killing brother
People living on their knees


Biting sugar coated bullets
For the pain of this disease
C'est la vie

A woman came and said to me
She had a husband on an island
Found his body on a wasteland
Soldiers came and took him
Just to torture her you see
All alone she mourned her lover
Crossed the sea to find a brother
Maybe he could help her get her baby back for free
C'est la vie

(chorus)
