UB40 - Kingston Town

… and Trench Town?
Meaning & Lyrics:
‘Kingston Town’ originally written by Lord Creator in 1970 was later sung by UB40 in 1989. The song pays homage to the city of Kingston, Jamaica, and its cultural heritage.
The lyrics describe the narrator's memories of growing up in the city and their love and pride for the place. The chorus goes: "Oh Kingston Town, the place I love the best, Jamaica's pride and joy, is Kingston Town."
The song speaks to the cultural pride that many Jamaicans feel for their city and its rich history, which is closely tied to the island's musical heritage.
'Kingston Town' also references many of the city's iconic landmarks, such as the Palisadoes strip, and celebrates the city's musical traditions and nightlife.
It seems then that the song is a tribute to the city of Kingston and its rich cultural history, as well as a celebration of Jamaica and its people.

The night seems to fade
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone, oh
The stars shine so bright
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston town
Oh, Kingston town
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see the girls at play
When I am king
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now, I am king
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston town
Oh, Kingston town
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see the girls at play, yeah
When I am king
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston town
She'll be waiting in Kingston town
Right now
She'll be waiting in Kingston town
Oh, yeah
She'll be waiting in Kingston town
Concert goers too close - I guess I wasn’t made for mosh pits
