英國獨立搖滾樂隊［毛腳燕／The Housemartins］──無伴奏合唱──［Caravan of Love／愛情大篷車］

Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready, are you ready?
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Its time to stand up and fight
Its alright its alright
Hand in hand we take a caravan to the motherland
One by one we gonna stand up with pride
One that cant be denied
Stand up, stand up
From the highest mountain, valley low
Well all join together with hearts of gold
Now the children of the world can see
Theres a better place for us to be
The place in which we were born
So neglected and torn apart

Every woman every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up

Im your brother
Im your brother dont you know
Shes my sister
Shes my sister dont you know

Well be living in a world of peace
And the day when everyone is free
Well bring the young and the old
Wont you let your love flow, from your heart

Every woman every man
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up
Everybody take a stand
Join the caravan of love
(Stand up) stand up
Stand up

Im your brother
Im your brother dont you know
Shes my sister (were waiting, were waiting)
Shes my sister dont you know (were waiting, were waiting for the caravan)

So are you ready? (hes coming)
Are you ready? (hes coming)
Are you ready? (hes coming)
Are you ready? (hes coming on the caravan)
You better get ready (go for it)
You better get ready (go for it)
You better get ready (go for it)
You better get ready
