Caravan Of Love Lyrics
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready for the time of your life
(It)'s time to stand up and fight,
(It)'s alright, (it)'s alright.
Hand in hand we'll take a caravan
To the mother land
One by one we're gonna stand up with pride,
One that can't be denied.
Stand up! Stand up!
From the highest mountain valley low,
We'll join together with hearts of gold.
Now the children of the world can see
This's a better place for us to be.
The place in which we were born,
So neglected and torn apart.
Ev'ry woman ev'ry man
Join the caravan of love.
(Stand up) Stand up! Stand up!
Ev'ry body take a stand,
Join the caravan of love.
(Stand up) Stand up! Stand up!
I'm your brother,
I'm your brother don't you know.
She's my sister,
She's my sister don't you know.
We'll be living in a world of peace
In the day when ev'ryone is free
(Oh) bring the young and the old,
Won't you let your love flow from your heart.
Ev'ry woman ev'ry man
Join the caravan of love.
(Stand up) Stand up! Stand up!
Ev'ry body take a stand,
Join the caravan of love.
(Stand up) Stand up! Stand up!
I'm your brother,
I'm your brother don't you know.
She's my sister, (You’re waitin. You’re waitin)
She's my sister don't you know.
(You’re waitin, You’re waiting for the caravan)
So are you ready? (He’s coming)
Are you ready? (He’s coming)
Are you ready? (He’s coming)
Are you ready? (He’s coming on the caravan)
You better get ready. (Don’t worry)
You better get ready. (Don’t worry)
You better get ready. (Don’t worry)
You better get ready. (Don’t worry ‘bout the caravan)
Aaah… (Keep waitin)
(Keep waitin)
(Keep waitin)
(Keep waitin for the caravan)
(Don’t worry)
(Don’t worry)

great song!!!!!!!!!!
isn't this the group that Norman Cook was in before he split and became Fatboy Slim?
Yep it is. It's also Paul Heaton and Dave Welch's band before the Beautiful South were formed.
Fantastic song!! I love it... Strange way of pronouncing "ready" though. I adore it.
That's Hull for you, dentie! First Housemartins song I heard (not surprising given it was their only no.1), got one of their best of's today and it's fantastic! Shame they were so short lived, but they went on to much greater things!
This song is a cover of an Isley Brothers song but the HM version is better, the video really conveys Paul Heatons Cynicism about organised religion when the image is conveyed the clergy as the KKK with a face.
Thought is was brilliant
@spannerotoole never heard the Isley brothers version.

The original is really awful. this is the opposite.
