UB40 - King Lyrics
King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified.
Tried in vain to show them how.
And for that you died.
People of all nations walking hand in hand
But they're not ready to accept
That dream situation, yet.
King, where are your people now?
Chained and pacified.
Tried in vain to show them how.
And for that you died.

Featherstone jail 82,stoned in so called record room lol tune
C'est de la bombe
Amazing brings back so many wonderful memories of 27 years past this was what you called a Group. 😎😎😎😎
Birmingham 1980 - good times :-)
1:10 - maybe the ultra long intro caught out the 1st campbell brother, who seemed a bit slow coming in (compare with 1:52 where the 2nd brother again comes in 2nd but the 1st brother is half a beat quicker when coming in) - it has always seemed like an error to me anyway even though at 3:03 and 3:31 they come in together (with the beat separation again at 4:01 when coming in) so there is no overall consistency anyway.
In the beggin,in this times,UB40 was cool
1984 sat in my pal waynes drum.....smoking....chilling.....fuck man where did all that go??
This is the TRUE Birmingham sound. F*cking cant be beat!
ub40 THE LEGENDS
one of their best. always enjoy.
Uff me transporta a las playas de Jamaica
Beautiful memories of this fantastic group.
WOW.
This song is medicine for my mind.
''You had a Dream of a Promised Land''.. Bless..
This song always reminds me of my brother dancing to this before going to school 1979-80

Early UB was the best,
The UB40 FILES great album, present arms,UB44, more origanl unique sounds back then..
All UB40's music is great & will stand test of time,
Without a shadow of a doubt..Signing off was the most defining album of the eighties. X :)
Well said
Well one of them anyway ;-) Some of their tracks just summed up the 80's. Ghost Town has to get a mention.
@Me Em Errr, that was The Specials mate ;)
Thank you for posting!XXXXX
Thx for the good audio
CLASSIC
ONE IN TEN MY FAVOURITE.
Was a double aa side with food for thought I think top tunes then and now
perfect to rest time.
This and the "earth dies screaming" are my favourite ub40 songs. Much love to the creatures
wow! quiero una copa de vino tinto , mejor una botella !!

We desperately need another freelance band, One who's words can be sung without pc scrutiny . Itll get no air time but Word of Mouth is the best way to put it across.
Kings people suffer cause they disobey Jesus. I obey Jesus so that make me a free woman no chains
Timeless Classic - Peace Out :)
Dancing classic for me
The irony is that they were much better when they were raw.
Like a lot of bands
Ali always loved UB40 your my hero's ...so did my dad .. would love you to sing to me anytime x my youngest son 9 thinks your great ..love you all loads keep going lads your fantastic xxxx
the best of ub40 signing off and present arms albums
old school jam
King of Israel
Medicine for my soul.
It was a belter the first time around and still is to this day.
Valance youth club, great memories
Had the vinyl since 1980; Not been played since 1985; I have just restored a broken turntable of my grandfather using a new high quality cartridge ( not used a turntable since 1990) Connected up through a new Pre- amp to a newish valve amp and to my grandpapies magnam k2 speakers and... put this old classic vinyl on- The magnificent sound of “King” almost brought me to tears- unbelievably beautiful - Sublime
The great sound of ub40. Now they split and war in the courts over the right to be called UB40. UB40 BELONGS TO ALI CAMPBEL ALONE. MY NAME IS IAN COLLINGWOOD. PROUD TO HAVE FOLLOWED UB40 FROM THE BEGINING. RESPECT ALI.
signing off, their first album! good times, respect!
Peace and love from new caledonia

King, were are your people now?
Chained and pacified
Tried in vain to show them how
And for that you died
You had a dream of a promised land
People of all nations walking hand in hand
They're not ready to accept that
Dream situation yet
Thank you Jesus Christ for being the light and life of humanity and laying down your life as a ransom for our sin. You are my saviour my redeemer and KING
It's in reference to Martin luther King..ps it;s Where.are your people now..!
I read your comment and it brought tears to eyes. Jesus Christ is the way, the TRUTH and the life. God bless you.
Magnificent not like all of the crap today thank you from the bottom of my heart.
awesome track
