Lyrics
:
(War) (This Ain't Love) This Is War Hit it You say you need me like you need hypertension If I fell to sleep right now I know you'd put me right out of action To say we've lost control would be an understatement This thing that we're undertaking... this ain't love this is war This is war Whatever I say to you whatever I try to do I can't do the right thing woman .. right for doing wrong to you To say we're going nowhere is shooting wide of the mark We're heading for a confrontation... this ain't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war (It's like a jungle, sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under) I will raise the white flag woman .. I will call a truce I'm going to surrender babe.. lay down my guns to you Don't you want to do the right thing now we're bound for collision course We've triggered off a chain reaction... this ain't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war War This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war Don't you want to do the right thing now we're bound for collision course We've triggered off a chain reaction... this ain't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war This aint't love this is war

Mike Peters Notes
:”One of my first major influences as a musician was The Clash who were always a challenge to their audience. They have to take the credit for bringing Rap to the UK I remember the hostility when Grandmaster Flash ‘opened’ for them, on one of their early tours, a hostility which turned to admiration upon the release of ‘The Message.’ The stuttering lyrics have remained timeless and worked perfectly over the music of ‘War.’ The production is deliberately lo-fi, in fact the whole track was recorded and mixed in only a few hours. I may have had all the time in the world to record the album but sometimes speed ‘creates an excitement all of it’s own”.
