Geffery Morgan is the fifth album by UB40. Released in 1984, it takes its title from a piece of chalk graffiti on a wall: "Geffery Morgan...loves white girls". Following the huge success of their covers album, Labour of Love, all tracks on this album are self-penned. The album contained the hit "If It Happens Again", which reached #9 in the UK charts.
If it happens again I'm leaving, I'll pack all my things and go
If it happens again there'll be no looking back and I won't say I told you so, I won't say I told you so
You did what you were told and you took the strain
Been left out in the cold, got yourself to blame
But believe me, if it happens again, I'm leaving, if it stays the same, I'm gone
When you're stabbed in the back and there's salt in the wound then it's time to move along
If it happens again I'm leaving, I'll pack all my things and go
If it happens again there'll be no looking back and I won't say I told you so, I won't say I told you so
No more spanners in the works, all the works been done
Had your face rubbed in the dirt on show for every one
But believe me, if it happens again, I'm leaving, if it stays the same, I'm gone
When compromise is the song that you sing, it's been going on to long
If it happens again I'm leaving, I'll pack all my things and go
If it happens again there'll be no looking back and I won't say I told you so, I won't say I told you so
If it happens again I'm leaving, I'll pack all my things and go
If it happens again there'll be no looking back and I won't say I told you so, I won't say I told you so
If it happens again I'm leaving, I'll pack all my things and go
If it happens again there'll be no looking back and I won't say I told you so, I won't say I told you so
