Howard Jones - Cookin' In The Kitchen Lyrics
I met an alien one night while I was walking after darkHe said dont be afraid Ive come to know Ive come to make my markAnd theres a road, and its very longAnd you gotta be sweet babyAnd you gotta be strongHe said why are these men and women lying here just on the streetHe said why are these children dying cos they have no food to eatAnd theres a road, and its very longAnd you gotta be sweet babyAnd you gotta be strongWhy are these people hating others for the colour of their skinWhy are your brother creatures murdered for the flesh that lies withinDont lose the rage, dont become immuneWhen others criticise youDont change your tuneYouve got to love, with a passion that hurtsIts love that conquers babyIts love that servesAnd in the moment before you go to sleepYou can turn on me Im the blue light wrap me round youAnd when the world turns its coldest shoulderIn the name of all thats goodAnd theres a road, and its very longAnd you gotta be sweet babyAnd you gotta be strongAnd Ill be there, to dry your tearsAnd Ill be cooking in your kitchenFood for everyoneAnd ill be working in the backroomHelp for everyone
