We Are The Immigrants lyrics We came from distant lands To be right here with you With the labour of our hands We did the work that others wouldn’t do The work was hard, the pay was poor Sometimes we wondered what we came here for We face hate, we faced discrimination From the inhabitants of this nation They called us ‘dirty immigrants Taking their jobs Dirty immigrants They rape and they rob’ Politicians used us like pawns in their games Giving us all dirty names Making us the scapegoats for all that’s wrong But all their lies just make us strong, make us strong For we are the immigrants We made this country strong We are the immigrants This is where we belong We are the immigrants We made this country strong We are the immigrants This is where we belong They tell us to go back home But we’re already here They might hurl sticks and stones But we won’t disappear We have a right to stay This is now our home We bless our freedom every day We’ll no more wander or roam, wander or roam Coz we are the immigrants We made this country strong We are the immigrants This is where we belong We were all once immigrants We came from other lands We were all once immigrants So be kind and understand That we are the immigrants We made this country strong We are the immigrants This is where we belong We are the immigrants This is where we belong This is where we belong Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 597240CS

Borstal Boy lyrics Was always on the outside I never could fit I tried to be accepted Bit by bit I wanted you forever But your daddy he said ‘No’ He said I’m not suitable He told me get out and go! Said he knows all about my kind And what’s always on my mind Go take a shower and get employed You’re just a Borstal Boy Just a Borstal Boy If I could turn back time I’d be miles away From the scene of the crime Where cops nabbed me for foul play I never did wrong Was in the wrong place All my hopes had gone When someone I.d. my face I’m here doing time In a world I don’t belong I walk the line I know I must be strong When I knocked at the door he and screamed ‘Oh heck, you’re just a pain in the neck’ I know I’m in troubled waters But what can I do – I’m in love with the police chief’s daughter! My love for her he wants to destroy As he screams ‘Go away Borstal Boy’! You’ve been hanging around far too long It’s time to cut loose and be gone, be gone You’re getting me really annoyed Go away Borstal Boy Go away Borstal Boy Go away Borstal Boy Do me a favour don’t come back Be gone, be gone Was always on the outside I never could fit I tried to be accepted Bit by bit I wanted you forever But your daddy he said ‘No’ He said I’m not suitable He told me get out and go! Get out and go, get out and go Said he knows all about my kind And what’s always on my mind Go take a shower and get employed You’re just a Borstal Boy You’re just a Borstal Boy You’re just a Borstal Boy No-one will take me on When they know about my past Say ‘Sorry, we don’t employ ex-Cons’ The die’s already been cast Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 609592BR

Howling Wind lyrics There’s a ringing in my head but it’s not the phone Everyone in the room is either drunk or stoned The suit with the girl is being wined and dined Couples making love in the shadows so entwined Come get up from your bloody knees We all know that you’re just trying to please From tall presidents to the priests in drag Promise I won’t let the cat out of the bag,out of the bag It’s all so intense it’s all so extreme Is this reality or a bad dream? It’s all so intense it’s all so extreme Is this reality or a bad dream? Is this reality or a bad dream? Hear the bells chiming in the breeze The air is cold and starting to freeze The light is slowly being dimmed Can you hear the howling wind The howling wind, the howling wind Miss Liberty killed by an overdose of self-love She didn’t know when to stop even when she drew blood You should always quit when you are ahead And listen to those voices baby inside your head There’s a man at the station and he’s very cross Mumbling something about profits and loss Saying ‘Everyone’s chasing tomorrow But all they’ll find there is more pain and sorrow’ More pain and sorrow, more pain and sorrow He says it’s so intense it’s so extreme Is this reality or a bad dream? He says it’s so intense it’s so extreme Is this reality or a bad dream? Hear the bells ringing in the breeze The air has almost freezed The light has almost been dimmed And here comes the howling wind The howling wind, the howling wind Everything’s moving way too fast Nothing is built anymore to last Throw it away and buy a-new The same applies to emotions too There is no respect there is no love None left from the One up above You are here it’s your right to be But nothing in this life is free, is free, is free Nothing in this life is free The bells are crying in the breeze The earth is covered with disease Better say sorry for your sins See the dark horsemen riding on the wind Riding on the wind Riding on the howling wind See the dark horsemen riding on the wind Yeah riding on the howling wind The howling wind, the howling wind Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 602794FP

Shit Happens You Know Lyrics All these earthquakes floods and hurricanes Could drive a true believer insane Are they from the devil or from Him up above Punishment for not showing enough love Punishment for not showing enough love Everyone’s got their troubles Everyone’s got their woes Shit happens you know Shit happens you know Yeah shit happens you know Shit happens you know There ain’t no reason there ain’t no rhyme Shit has gone down all through time That rabbit’s foot, that lucky charm Didn’t keep the rabbit safe from harm! Didn’t keep the rabbit safe from harm! Shit happens every minute of the day Just got to try and keep outta its way Sometimes there’s nothing that you can do Whether you’re a praying mantis, Hindi, Muslim, Christian or Jew You might be rich and happy or poor and low Don’t matter coz shit happens to everyone you know To everyone you know Yeah shit happens to everyone you know To everyone you know Shit happens when you don’t want it to If you’re in your prime or if you’re 82 Just be grateful at the end of the day You avoided the shit like you didn’t yesterday You avoided the shit like you didn’t yesterday Who knows what tomorrow will bring If the world will turn if the birds will sing Take it easy go with the flow Coz shit happens you know Shit happens you know Shit happens you know Saying the ‘S’ word is a big ‘No, no’ I know this song won’t get played on the radio It’s not the end of the world it won’t be a blow Coz shit happens you know Shit happens you know Shit happens you know Yeah shit shit happens you know Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 596304CM IRSC QZTB72357781

With Cut Lips lyrics He beats his partner black and blue Like he thinks it’s his right to do We hear the screams, we hear the cries and calls We hear it every night through the thin walls Why they stay with him we don’t know Why don’t they leave, why don’t they go Things won’t change, they just cannot Coz we know a leopard can never change its spots, no The next day off to work in a shirt and tie They stand at the door and each waves goodbye Despite all the heartache and all the pain They never ask why, they never complain They never complain They try hard to please him so How much they suffer we’ll never know His demons inside of his soul Will never subside, they just grow They just grow, they just grow No one knows what goes on behind closed doors No one can know, that’s for sure But you cannot kiss if you’ve got cut lips That’s right, you cannot kiss with cut lips And you can’t shake hands with a clenched fist No, no, you can’t shake hands with a clenched fist Leave him we so wish that you would No one needs to tell you that he’s no good Find someone else that will treat you right No one knows what goes on behind closed doors No one can know, that’s for sure Leave him we so wish that you would No one needs to tell you that he’s no good Find someone else that will treat you right That won’t like to argue, won’t like to fight No one said nothing till it was too late Till after his fists had sealed their fate The police they said ‘Must have fell down the stairs’ Even though there were traces of violence everywhere It’s a man’s world it’s sad to say Committing violence every day Will the demons inside ever go Will it ever stop, only God knows Only God knows, only God knows, only God knows Leave him we so wish that you would No one needs to tell you that he’s no good Find someone else that will treat you right No one knows what goes on behind closed doors No one can know, that’s for sure But you can’t kiss if you’ve got cut lips You cannot kiss with cut lips And you can’t shake hands with a clenched fist No, no, you can’t shake hands with a clenched fist Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 597240CT

Gun Control lyrics Watching Gunsmoke and those cowboy shows It was easy to follow the plot blow by blow Goodies and baddies were well defined There was a clear dividing line Now there’s confusion and disbelief Who is the saint and who is the thief? So many angles and points of view And is what you’re being told really true? The devil’s on-line and on T.V. As on your desires he incessantly feeds You want it all and you want it now And you will get it no matter how You woke up one day determined to kill You had to fulfil Satan’s dark will To destroy everything that is good You said that you’d been abused and misunderstood You must claim your 15 minutes of fame But then everyone will forget your name Remembered as ‘Just a sicko with a gun’ Despised by almost everyone But give us a chance to understand Just drop that gun from your hand Please, give us a chance to understand Just drop that gun from your hand That gun from your hand, from your hand Uncle Sam says, ‘It’s far too late To take guns outta the hands of those who hate It’s their constitutional right to bear arms’ Is it their right to maim, kill and cause harm? So many people burning up with hate How did the desire to kill become their fate? To wanna shoot those they don’t like As they line them up in their sights You know can do it, you know you can Just drop those guns from your hands You can do it you know you can Just drop those guns from your hands Drop those guns from your hands, from your hands You have small children shooting their teachers Haters killing believers and preachers Ex-employees and students with a grudge Setting themselves up as jury, executioner and judge What has been done and what has been achieved? You just left children and families to grieve Was it all for the power, was it for the glory? After all’s been said and done no-one will be interested in your story Is to murder all that you understand? Come on, drop that gun from your hand Is to murder all that you understand? Come on, drop that gun from your hand Drop that gun from your hand, from your hand You will rot in jail in a dark lonely hole You will never be let out on parole It’s time Uncle Sam looked inside his soul Coz there’s gotta be some sort of gun control Some sort of gun control There’s must be some sort of gun control May the Lord have mercy on your souls! May the Lord have mercy on your souls!

Born In A Ghetto Lyrics Born in a ghetto, in a town with no name Just wanted to tell you from where I came Ev’ry day of my life I tried in vain To rise above all the heartache and pain In that land it was so hard to survive I can’t believe that I got out alive My life was full of worry and fear I crossed that ocean to get here I worked my fingers down to the bone To be accepted here in my new home The friends I made are now long gone I try my best to keep on keeping on But one thing that keeps me strong Is humming the tune of that Gospel song That Gospel song (listen HERE) Learnt it at school or maybe before Don’t know no other song no more That song is stitched inside of my brain I remember it like I remember my name Never went to church or to Sunday School Never broke the law, always played by the rules Always tried my best to be true And tell the truth when people didn’t want me to And the thing that kept me strong Was humming the tune of that Gospel song It’s funny what you know and what you forget All those people you forgot you once met And all those times from your past You thought wouldn’t end, would forever last Do I miss the land from where I came? It’s a part of me just the same They say ‘Don’t look back, it’s no good’ But I wouldn’t go back, even if I could But I wouldn’t go back, even if I could I remember that song carried on the air You could hear it wherever you went everywhere Thinking of it helps me to keep strong Helps me to get along, to keep on keeping on The thing that keeps me strong Is humming the tune of that Gospel song The thing that keeps me strong Is humming the tune of that Gospel song I’m humming the tune of that Gospel song Is humming the tune of that Gospel song Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 596304CP

They said you were born too late They filled your head with fear and hate They said that there’s no other way Well, someone some day will have to pay You’re a time bomb ticking slow And you will explode when you grow All of your pain and hurt that’s so real One day you’ll make sure someone else feels Your skins grey your blood is mixed Scars inside can never be fixed You’ll never play with children’s toys Only with guns like all the other boys They drop dimes into the hat Just to show they care and all that Do you think they care about you? You see cold dark skies, theirs are bright blue Keep the truth behind a fence Is it for attack or defense? That all happens so far away Your life’s a struggle day after day Don’t believe it when they tell you others are to blame At the end of it all you’re just a pawn in their game I hope some day you will know It’s a child’s right to live and grow No one should kill or hurt or hate Things can be changed it’s never too late Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 597240CU

You don’t reveal your heart when we’re alone You only do that on the telephone So don’t ask if I can come over Ask me this afternoon when I’m sober Ask me this afternoon when I’m sober You ain’t no catholic girl and I ain’t no Monk Come over let’s party, let’s get drunk Then we’ll forget what we did when we awake Oh babe, how much frustration can one man take! If you want I can talk dirty on the telephone Even though you said that’s ‘a no-fly-zone’ I wanna be with you face to face I wanna feel you breathe and share the same space You keep calling me 10 times a day But you don’t really have that much to say I’m trying hard to keep my composure Phone me again this evening when I’m sober Phone me again this evening when I’m sober Show me some passion, show me some love Make us fly like 2 love birds above To Paradise I’ll take you right there Lovers are getting there all of the time everywhere Not sure if I want the pain of loving you to ever end All I know is that it’s driving me around the bend It’s getting hard to concentrate and to think straight Oh babe how much longer do I have to wait! I know it’s hard for you to communicate But the time is getting really late Babe, don’t ask if you and me are finally over Call me in the morning when I should be sober Don’t ask if you and me are finally over Call me in the morning when I should be sober Call me in the morning when I should be sober Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 609592BW

I’ll Never Be The Same (Addiction) lyrics An elephant’s in the room we can’t ignore Affecting everyone whether rich or poor Hurting millions of people everywhere Who wants to know, who really cares? Don’t trust my doctor to cure my ills As he prescribes me opioid pills It’s like giving candy to a baby Once I’m hooked, who will save me, who will save me? They sure help to take away the pain But man how they screw up my brain How I need them everyday I need them more than I can say They cut off the pain to my brain But I’ll never be the same I’ll never be the same again They cut off the pain to my brain But I’ll never be the same I’ll never be the same again You could be big, you could be small Opioid addiction affects us all Could be your neighbour or the guy at work Trying their best to hide their hurt So many getting rich from other’s pain Their lives will never be the same again But if they’re legal they can’t do harm If you call and I don’t answer, please raise the alarm Don’t wanna feel no pain no more I’ll get more from the candy store Think I’ll order more on-line Won’t need to see a doctor this time They cut off the pain to my brain But I’ll never be the same I’ll never be the same again They cut off the pain to my brain But I’ll never be the same I’ll never be the same again Rehab is where I am bound There’s at least one in every big town They serve cold turkey with four stars Pay a fortune to stay behind bars Must go through it to get clean Might not be nice to know, might get angry and mean Don’t wanna end up like stars in a box Under a pile of rolling rocks They sure help to take away the pain But man how they screw up my brain How I need them everyday I need them more than I can say They cut off the pain to my brain But I’ll never be the same I’ll never be the same again An elephant’s in the room we can’t ignore Affecting everyone whether rich or poor Hurting millions of people everywhere Who wants to know, who really cares?

Another Rainy Day lyrics Everyday the heat keeps getting stronger Every night I’m praying for some rain I just can’t stand it any longer All my prayers just seem to be in vain Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day Day by day my heart is growing weaker As the wells I find have all run dry I try to find shade to seek shelter But all the trees are stripped bare before the sky I long for just another rainy day Yes, I long for just another rainy day, rainy day I look up to the dry skies and I wonder If it’s like this in any other place? If they look up and hear crashing thunder With cool rain blowing so hard in their face? I’d walk a thousand miles for water to drink The crops have failed just like the years before In the West they turn on the tap and don’t think Of lands that are so dry and so poor Oh Lord, give us days and days of rainy days Oh Lord, give us days and days of rainy days, rainy days Someone said the West sends us contributions Politicians must be getting very fat Money is not the only solution It’s far more complicated than that All we ask for oh Lord are rainy days, rainy days All we ask for oh Lord are rainy days, oh rainy days Everyday the heat keeps getting stronger Every night I’m praying for some rain I just can’t stand it any longer All my prayers seem to be in vain Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day, rainy day Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day, rainy day Everyday the heat keeps getting stronger Every night I’m praying for some rain I just can’t stand it any longer All my prayers just seem to be in vain Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day Oh Lord please send just one more rainy day Another rainy day Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 602794FR

It’s Getting Hot lyrics Honey bees are falling from the leaves As you spray our fields and our trees Flowers are fading and shrivelling up You’ll see the consequences soon enough Poison rivers and poison air Acid rain falling everywhere Trees they disappear all too soon Smoke is blotting out the sun and the moon Ice is melting and the ocean’s rise People getting rich while Mother Earth dies Making money no matter what But things are starting to get hot Man, it’s starting to get hot! The sky is falling to the ground Only lone voices can be found Who can stop the relentless machine Destroying our lives destroying our dreams You say that once our Mother dies We’ll look for a new home in the sky Somewhere in the Universe, maybe Mars Then Man will destroy more planets and stars Mother of ours you gave us life You cared for us through the day and night We have one Mother and that is you Why does Man do the things that they do Whether we all realise it or not Things are really starting to get hot Man, it’s really getting hot Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 609592BU

The House of ill Repute Lyrics I’ve lived hard and I’ve lived fast Through times that have long past I saw people come, saw people go Who they were no-one knows There is no row, there is no dispute I can follow back my roots Down that twisted route Back to that House of Ill Repute It’s like a tattoo in the center of my head The words of which are best left unread Coz they’ll tell you from where I came And I’m never going back there again No, you’d have to get me as drunk as a newt Or drop me high from a parachute Or lead me like Pied Piper blowing his flute Back to the dark House of Ill Repute Some may call me a Mongrel dog Forever lost in the London fog I’m trying to get as far as I can But nothing goes according to plan I’m not dumb and I ain’t mute But my misery is absolute Growing fat on forbidden fruit Growing wild in the House of Ill Repute All those years of standing still Then fighting my way uphill Finally reaching the top Then crashing down in a belly flop in a belly flop, in a belly flop I can wear a tie and chequered suite When the foot is on the other boot I’d rather go to war torn Beirut Then go back to the House of Ill Repute Then go back to the House of Ill Repute Then go back to the House of Ill Repute Then go back to the House of Ill Repute Growing wild in the House of Ill Repute Music composed and performed by Paul Odiase BMI No. 1252265 (Switzerland) Song lyrics by Paul Robert Thomas PRS No. 497904008 (London) PRS Tunecode 181583AN

Covid-19 – The End of The World? lyrics A poison fog’s covering this land A viral disease we can’t understand From where did it come, oh God damn! A meat market or a lab in Wuhan? It’s spread cannot be controlled It’s culling the sick and the old Hell on earth, a living nightmare One thing for sure, we won’t be saved just by prayers! It might be a revelation To this generation But if you know the book of Saint John It’s a battle that must be won The devil’s work is being done Has the end of the world just begun? Who can save us from our fate? For millions of souls, it’s already too late Forced to die away from their homes With no-one near and all alone There was a flood, there was a plague Who will die this time, who will be saved? When will it end, when will it go? Does the devil or does God know? It might be a revelation To this generation But if you know the book of Saint John It’s a battle that must be won The devil’s work is being done Has the end of the world just begun? Has the end of the world just begun? Has the end of the world just begun? Has the end of the world just begun? Has the end of the world just begun? Will it go as quick as it came? Will it return with a different name? Will it be here forever more? Or will it pass into humankind’s folklore? I hope and long for that day when Our lives will be normal again And having to wear a face mask Will be a thing of the distant past It might be a revelation To this generation But if you know the book of Saint John It’s a battle that must be won The devil’s work is being done Has the end of the world just begun, just begun?

Try To Save Someone lyrics You might be the richest man in the world Or a superstar adored by boys and girls Might be a Tom working the streets Might be a cop pounding the beat You might be a model on the catwalk Or a politician that knows how to talk Might be a doctor healing the sick You might be smart you might be thick No matter who you are Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone Might be in Africa Might be near your home Why not try to save someone? It might be someone begging on the street A baby without water in the burning heat An orphaned child crying in the dust Or a tramp searching through the bins for a crust Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone You know you can’t take it with you when you go On the grave of the richest man in the cemetery weeds will grow Do good deeds with your time that remains Help loosen the shackles of those in chains Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone You can turn away and pretend you don’t see Those suffering every day in poverty You’re alright Jack you’re living well Forget about them living in their daily hell Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone They say you’re the richest country on earth Who knows what you’re really worth You got wealth and money to burn What does it cost to do a good turn Do a good deed it’ll make you feel good To know that you’ve helped someone like you know you should It’s so easy to take and not to give What means more than to help someone to live Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone You might call me naive with simple ideas But I’ve seen so much suffering through the years Life is precious life is unique Whether strong and rich or poor and weak No matter who you are Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone Might be in Africa Might be near your home Why not try to save someone? Why not try to save someone Why not try to save someone Might be in Africa Might be near your home Why not try to save someone?
