Not that Eddy Grant is a Brit.
I've always heard it as "abhor ya" in the same way that he sings "you're a bastard, just like Pharaoh" on "War Party" rather than "you're a bad star."

well I don't know what's on his passport but he's lived here long enough to have more than a hint of britspeak.

if you're going to go through the trouble rocking all the way down to electric avenue, I don't think you need to take it any higher.

So many 80s videos featured someone standing up only to FALL THROUGH THE WATER FLOOR.
OUT ON THE PLAYGROUND.

Grindcore band Anal Cunt covered the beginning of the song on track "Eddy Grant" from their 1994 album Everyone Should Be Killed.
