| KING OF THE JUNGLE |
| It was quite tricky finding a category to put this song under. It was released only in Japan, but seeing as it's on the BANANARAMA album I thought it deserved to be with the rest of the album released singles. Sadly, the song did not chart well in Japan, most due to the fact there was no video or promotion. The 7"/12"s' for this single are extremely rare, so if you find a copy, hang on to it! The song itself was part of the 'Nanas new serious, political focus, and is about how young boys are persuaded by the government to join the armies and kill people. |

| LYRICS Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh Lurking, he knows your face, he waits and bides his time Mind clocks your every move 'till you step out of line (Ooh) Stalking streets by night, pushing guns by day He knows it isn't right but he wants to make his name He's working harder (he�s working harder) Gotta make another, make another martyr (another martyr) Hide your eyes they're moving closer But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face Hide your eyes �cause you're the loser (Who�s the King of the Jungle, Who�s afraid of the Jungle, who�s the King of the Jungle now?) Before you even start to run you've lost the race (Ooh) You'll never know the place until your time has come It'll be a sunny day until his work is done Doesn't care what pain you feel, can't see your mother's tears As she counts the cost of the life that's lost and twenty wasted years He thinks he's smarter (he thinks he�s smarter) Gone and made another, made another martyr (another martyr) Hide your eyes they're moving closer (Who�s the King of the Jungle, Who�s afraid of the Jungle, who�s the King of the Jungle now?) But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face Hide your eyes �cause you're the loser (Who�s the King of the Jungle, Who�s afraid of the Jungle, who�s the King of the Jungle now?) Before you even start to run you've lost the race (Ooh) Who�s the King of the Jungle, who�s afraid of the Jungle Who�s the King of the Jungle now? He's working harder (he�s working harder) Gotta make another, make another martyr (another martyr) Hide your eyes they're moving closer (Who�s the King of the Jungle, Who�s afraid of the Jungle, who�s the King of the Jungle now?) But you know you're not allowed to look them in the face Hide your eyes �cause you're the loser (Who�s the King of the Jungle, Who�s afraid of the Jungle, who�s the King of the Jungle now?) Before you even start to run you've lost the race Ooh, ooh, (Who�s the King of the Jungle, who�s afraid of the Jungle Who�s the King of the Jungle now?) Hide your eyes they're moving closer (Who�s the king of the jungle Who�s afraid of the Jungle, who�s the King of the Jungle now?) Hide your eyes �cause you're the loser, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, oh, oh, ooh |
