One In Ten Lyrics
Wise men say
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help falling in love with you
Wise men say
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin?
I can't help falling in love with you
As a river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
I can't help falling in love with you
As a river flows
Gently to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things were meant to be
Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help falling in love with you
"Only fools rush in"
But I can't help falling in love with you
Would it be a sin?
I can't help falling in love with you
Gently to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things were meant to be
Take my whole life, too
I can't help falling in love with you
Gently to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things were meant to be
Take my whole life, too
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you
I can't help falling in love with you

when this song first came out I had just finished college and was looking for a job in 80's. Unemployment was rife and this struck a chord as I felt like a one in ten. But by a one in ten chance I managed to get a Job!!!
(I didn't grow up in the 80s) But - I think the one in ten thing means that one in ten people were unemployed (not a one in ten chance of getting a job as fergi suggested) Still, that was an average across the whole country and in some towns up north almost everyone was unemployed.
UB40, being a multi-cultural band in the first place, they have a message about equality and bringing to light the struggles of the people that don't have a voice otherwise... Listen to Tyler or Food For Thought and you will see that those songs are not about the band themselves but about issues that should be talked about and addressed instead of ignored. Early UB40 was the best, not after Labour Of Love and they became radio friendly with their covers of pop songs.
