Madam Medusa (2010 Remaster) Lyrics


From the land of shadows
Comes a dreadful sight
Lady with the marble smile
Spirit of the nightSee the scourge of innocence
Swinging in her hand
Hear the silent suffering
Echoes through the landFrom the tombs of ignorance
Hates and greed and lies
Through the smoke of sacrifice
Watch her figure riseTwinging in her shadow
The sick, the poor, the old
Basking in her radiance
Men of blood and goldIn her bloody footsteps
Speculators prance
Men of dreams are praying
For that second chanceRound her vacant features
Gilded serpents dance
Tree of evil knowledge

Sprouts a special branchMadam Medusa
Madam Medusa
Madam MedusaKnock her right down
And then she bounce right back
Knock her right down
And then she bounce right backShe gone off her head
And got to shoot her dead
She gone off her head
And got to shoot her deadRun for your life before she eat you alive
Run for your life before she eat you alive
Move out of the way 'cos you're blocking out the day
Move out of the way 'cos you're blocking out the day[Incomprehensible]Knock her right down
And then she bounce right back
She gone off her head
And got to shoot her deadRun for your life before she eat you aliveMove out of the way 'cos you're blocking out the day
Move out of the way 'cos you're blocking out the dayRun for your life before she eat you aliveShe gone off her head
And got to shoot her deadRun for your life before she eat you aliveMadam Medusa
Madam Medusa
Madam Medusa
Madam Medusa[Incomprehensible][Incomprehensible][Incomprehensible]

UB40 are a British dub / reggae pop music band formed in 1978 in Birmingham, England.

The band is one of the most culturally diverse dub reggae bands with musicians of English, Scottish, Irish, Yemeni and Jamaican parentage. The band is named from the paper form issued by the UK government's Department of Health and Social Security at the time of the band's formation for claiming unemployment benefit (UB40 = Unemployment Benefit, Form 40).

UB40 were influenced by the many Blues Parties they attended as teenagers in the multiracial Balsall Heath area of Birmingham, their love of ska and reggae inspired such original tracks as King, Madam Medusa, Food for Thought, Signing Off and One in Ten.

Their early music style was unique, with a heavy influence of analogue synthesizers, psychedelic rock guitar, saxophone and dub producer techniques which were later perfected by the late Pablo Falconer.

Ali and Robin Campbell have a musical heritage, being sons of Ian Campbell, a folk musician.

The band purchased its first instruments with compensation money Ali Campbell received after a bar fight. They have had a number of hits, most commercially and to amusement of the band, "Red Red Wine", a cover version of a Neil Diamond song (in an arrangement similar to that of Tony Tribe's version). Their most successful single release is the cover of the Elvis Presley ballad Can't Help Falling in Love which was intended to be the main title to the 1992 Sharon Stone movie Sliver and was a Number One hit across Europe and in the U.S.

Many of UB40's recordings were inspired by 1960s ska and early lovers rock songs that would have otherwise been forgotten in the public eye. Their new injection of life into so many old Jamaican hits has resulted in many musicians' and producers' renewed popularity and income.

UB40's early music often tackled social issues such as racism and unemployment.

Other artists that UB40 have collaborated with include: Pato Banton, Madness, Bitty McLean, Chrissie Hynde, Robert Palmer, Hunterz, Japanese artist Mikidozan, French artist Nuttea, Lady Saw and Afrika Bambaataa.
