[Hook:]
Red, red wine
Goes to my head
Makes me forget that I
Still need her so
Red, red wine
It's up to you
All I can do, I've done
Memories won't go
Memories won't go

[Bridge]
I'd have sworn, that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

[Hook:]
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be in love
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

[Bridge]
I'd have sworn, that with time
Thoughts of you would leave my head
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget

[Hook:]
Red, red wine
Stay close to me
Don't let me be in love
It's tearing apart
My blue, blue heart

[Verse 1: Astro]
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
You keep me rockin' all of the time
Red red wine, you make me feel so grand
I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand

Red red wine, you make me feel so sad
Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line

[Verse 2: Astro and (Ali Campbell)]
(Red red wine)
Red red wine, you give me whole heap of zing
Whole heap of zing, you make me do my own thing
(It's up to you)
Red red wine, you really know how fi love
Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above

Red red wine, I loved you right from the start
Right from the start with all of my heart
Red red wine in an eighties style
Red red wine in a modern beat style, yeah

[Bridge: Astro and (Ali Campbell)]
(I'd have sworn)
Give me a little time, help me clear up my mind
(That with time)
Give me a little time, help me clear up my mind
(Thoughts of you would leave my head)
Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine
You make me feel fine all of the time

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line
The line broke, the monkey get choked
Burn bad ganja pon his little rowing boat

[Hook: Astro and (Ali Campbell)]
(Red red wine)
Red red wine, I'm gonna hold on to you
Hold on to you cause I know your love true
(Stay close to me)
Red red wine, I'm gonna love you till I die
Love you till I die, and that's no lie

(Don't let me be in love)
Red red wine, can't get you off my mind
Wherever you may be, I'll surely find
(It's tearin' apart)
I'll surely find, make no fuss
(My blue, blue heart)
Just stick with us

[Bridge: Astro and (Ali Campbell)]
(I'd have sworn)
Give me a little time, help me clear up my mind
(That with time)
Give me a little time, help me clear up my mind
(Thoughts of you would leave my head)
Give me red wine, the kind make me feel fine
You make me feel fine all of the time

Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line
The line broke, the monkey get choked
Burn bad ganja pon his little rowing boat

[Hook: Astro and (Ali Campbell)]
(Red red wine)
Red red wine, you really know how fi love
Your kind of lovin' like a blessing from above
(Stay close to me)
Red red wine, I loved you right from the start
Right from the start with all of my heart

(Don't let me be in love)
Red red wine, you give me whole heap of zing
Whole heap of zing, you make me do my own thing
Red red wine in an eighties style
Red red wine in a modern beat style, yeah

[Outro: Astro and (Ali Campbell)]
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
You keep me rockin' all of the time
(Red red wine)
Red red wine, you make me feel so grand
I feel a million dollar when you're just in my hand
(Stay close to me)

Red red wine, you make me feel so sad
Any time I see you go, it make me feel bad
(Don't let me be in love)
Red red wine, you make me feel so fine
Monkey pack him Rizla pon the sweet Dep line...,

UB40

UB40 are an English reggae and pop band, formed in December 1978 in Birmingham. The band has had more than 50 singles in the UK Singles Chart. They have been nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album four times, and in 1984 were nominated for the Brit Award for Best British Group. UB40 have sold over 70 million records. The ethnic make-up of the band’s original line-up was diverse, with musicians of English, Irish, Jamaican, Scottish and Yemeni parentage.

Their hit singles include their debut “Food for Thought”, “Red Red Wine” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love”. Both of these also topped the UK Singles Chart, as did the band’s version of “I Got You Babe”. Their two most successful albums, Labour of Love (1983) and Promises and Lies (1993), reached number one on the UK Albums Chart.

On January 24, 2008, it was announced that Ali Campbell would be leaving the group after 30 years. It was reported by some Birmingham newspapers on 13 March 2008, that Maxi Priest would be the new lead singer of UB40 and had recorded a cover of Bob Marley’s “I Shot the Sheriff” with the band.
