London Calling
london calling to the faraway towns now that war
is declared and battle come down london calling to the underworld come
out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls London calling, now don't look
at us Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust London calling, see we ain't
got no swing except for the ring of that truncheon thing The ice age is
coming, the sun is zooming in Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear cause London is drowning and I
live by the river London calling to the imitation zone Forget it brother,
you can go it alone London calling to the zombies of death Quit holding
out and draw another breath London calling and I don't wanna shout But
while we were talking I saw you nodding out London calling, see we ain't
got no highs Except for that one with the yellowy eyes The ice age is coming
the sun is zooming in Engines stop running the wheat is growing thin A
nuclear error but I have no fear cause London is drowning and I live by
the river Now get this London calling, yes I was there too and you know
what they said... well, some of it was true! London calling at the
top of the dial and after all this, won't you give me a smile? I
never felt so much alike...
Brand New Cadillac (Vince Taylor cover song)
Drive! Drive! My baby drove up in a
brand new Cadillac Yes she did! My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
She said, "Hey, come here, Daddy!" "I ain't never comin' back!"
Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea? C'mon, sugar, just come on back
to me She said, "Balls to you, Big Daddy." She ain't never coming
back! Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea? Oh c'mon, just hear
my plea She said, "Balls to you, Daddy." She ain't coming back to
me Baby, baby drove up in a Cadillac I said, "Jesus Christ! Where'd
you get that cadillac?" She said, "Balls to you, Daddy." She
ain't never coming back!
Jimmy Jazz
The police walked in for Jimmy Jazz I said, he
ain't here, but he sure went past Oh, you're looking for Jimmy Jazz Sattamassagana

for Jimmy Jazz So if you're gonna take a message across this town Maybe
put it down somewhere over the other side See it gets to Jimmy Jazz Don't
you bother me, not anymore I can't take this tale, oh, no more It's all
around, Jimmy Jazz J-a-zee zee J-a-zed zed J-a-zed zed Jimmy Jazz And then
it sucks, he said, suck that! So go look all around, you can try
your luck, brother and see what you found But I guarantee that it ain't
your day Chop! Chop!
Hateful
Well, I got a friend who's a man What man?
The man who keeps me from the lovely He gives me what I need What you need?
What you got? I need it all so badly Oh, anything I want he gives
it to me Anything I want he gives it, but not for free It's hateful And
it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere This year I've lost some
friends Some friends? What friends? I dunno, I ain't even noticed
You see, I gotta go out again Again? My friend I gotta see that mainman
I killed all my nerves My nerves? What swerves? And I can't
drive so steady I've lost my memory My mind? Behind! I can't
see so clearly Oh, anything I want he gives it to me Anything I want he
gives it, but not for free It's hateful And it's paid for and I'm so grateful
to be nowhere

Spanish Bombs
Spanish songs in Andalucia The shooting sites in
the days of '39 Oh, please, leave the vendanna open Fredrico Lorca is dead
and gone Bullet holes in the cemetery walls The black cars of the Guardia
Civil Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight Spanish
bombs, yo te quiero y finito Yo te querda, oh mi corazón Spanish
bombs, yo te quiero y finito Yo te querda, oh mi corazón Spanish
weeks in my disco casino The freedom fighters died upon the hill They sang
the red flag They wore the black one But after they died it was Mockingbird
Hill Back home the buses went up in flashes The Irish tomb was drenched
in blood Spanish bombs shatter the hotels My señorita's rose was
nipped in the bud Spanish bombs, yo te quiero y finito Yo te querda, oh
mi corazón Spanish bombs, yo te quiero y finito Yo te querda, oh
mi corazón The hillsides ring with "Free the people" Or can I hear
the echo from the days of '39? With trenches full of poets The ragged
army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava I'm
flying in on a DC 10 tonight Spanish songs in Andalucia, Mandolina, oh
mi corazón Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazón
The Right Profile
Say, where did I see this guy? In Red River?
Or a place in the sun? Maybe the Misfits? Or From Here to Eternity?
Everybody say, "Is he all right?" And everybody say, "What's he like?"
Everybody say, "He sure look funny" That's... Montgomery Clift, honey!
New York, New York, New York, 42nd Street Hustlers rustle and pimps pimp
the beat Monty Clift is recognized at dawn He ain't got no shoes and his
clothes are torn I see a car smashed at night Cut the applause and dim
the light Monty's face is broken on a wheel Is he alive? Can he still
feel? Nembutol numbs it all But I prefer alcohol He said go out and
get me my old movie stills Go out and get me another roll of pills There
I go again shaking, but I ain't got the chills arghgora buh bhuh do arghn!
Lost In The Supermarket
I'm all lost in the supermarket I can no longer
shop happily I came in her for that special offer A guaranteed personality
I wasn't born so much as I fell out Nobody seemed to notice me We had a
hedge back home in the suburbs Over which I never could see I heard the
people who lived on the ceiling Scream and fight most scarily Hearing that
noise was my first ever feeling That's how it's been all around me I'm
all tuned in, I see all the programmes I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album I empty a bottle and I feel a bit
free The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls Make me noises for
company Long distance callers make long distance calls And the silence
makes me lonely And it's not hear It disappear I'm all lost
Clampdown
What are we gonna do now? Taking off his
turban, they said, is this man a Jew? cause they're working for the
clampdown They put up a poster saying we earn more than you! When
we're working for the clampdown We will teach our twisted speech To the
young believers We will train our blue-eyed men To be young believers The
judge said five to ten-but I say double that again I'm not working for
the clampdown No man born with a living soul Can be working for the clampdown
Kick over the wall cause government's to fall How can you refuse it?
Let fury have the hour, anger can be power do you know that you can use
it? The voices in your head are calling Stop wasting your time, there's
nothing coming Only a fool would think someone could save you The men at
the factory are old and cunning You don't owe nothing, so boy get runnin'
It's the best years of your life they want to steal You grow up and you
calm down You're working for the clampdown You start wearing the blue and
brown You're working for the clampdown So you got someone to boss around
It makes you feel big now You drift until you brutalize You made your first
kill now In these days of evil presidentes Working for the clampdown But
lately one or two has fully paid their due For working for the clampdown
But ha! Gitalong! Gitalong! And I've given away no secrets
Who's barmy now?
The Guns Of Brixton
When they kick at your front door How you gonna
come? With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in How you gonna go? Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have
to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton The money feels good And your life
you like it well But surely your time will come As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan Born under the Brixton sun His game is called
survivin' At the end of the harder they come You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun No need for the Black Maria Goodbye to the Brixton
sun You can crush us You can bruise us Yes, even shoot us But oh... the
guns of Brixton When they kick at your front door How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head Or on the trigger of your gun You can crush
us You can bruise us Yes, even shoot us But oh... the guns of Brixton Shot
down on the pavement Waiting in death row His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell You can crush us You can bruise us But you'll have
to answer to Oh, the guns of Brixton.
Wrong 'em Boyo (C. Alphanso cover song)
Stagger Lee met Billy and they go down to gambling
Stagger Lee throwed seven Billy said that he throwed eight So Billy said,
hey Stagger! I'm gonna make my big attack I'm gonna have to leave
my knife in your back Why do you try to cheat? And trample people
under your feet Don't you know it is wrong? To cheat the trying man
So you better stop, it is the wrong 'em boyo You lie, steal, cheat and
deceit In such a small, small game Don't you know it is wrong Billy Boy
has been shot And Stagger Lee's come out on top Don't you know it is wrong
To cheat the trying man To cheat Stagger man You'd better stop So you must
start all over again... all over again You got to play it, Billy, play,
you got to play it, Billy, play And you will find it is the right 'em boyo
But if you must lie and deceit And trample people under your feet Don't
you know it is wrong It is the wrong 'em boyo.
Death Or Glory
Every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl Love 'n hate tattooed across
the knuckles of his hands The hands that slap his kids around cause they
don't understand How death or glory becomes just another story How death
or glory becomes just another story 'n every gimmick hungry yob digging
gold from rock 'n roll Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's
sold But i believe in this... and it's been tested by research That he
who fucks nun will later join the church From every dingy basement on every
dingy street I hear every dragging handclap over every dragging beat That's
just the beat of time... the beat that must go on If you been trying for
years... then we already heard your song.
Koka Kola
Elevator! Going up! In the gleaming
corridors of the 51st floor The money can be made if you really want some
more Executive decision... a clinical precision Jumping from the windows-filled
with indecision I get good advice from the advertising world Treat me nice
says the party girl Koke adds life where there isn't any So freeze, man,
freeze It's the pause that refreshes in the corridors of power When top
men need a top up long before the happy hour Your snakeskin suit and your
alligator boot You won't need a launderette, you can send them to the vet!
I get my advice from the advertising world Treat me nice says the party
girl Koke adds life where there isn't any So freeze, man, freeze Koka Kola
advertising and kokaine Strolling down the Broadway in the rain Neon light
sign says it I read it in the paper... they're crazy! Suit your life,
maybe so In the White House... I know All Over Berlin (they've been doing
it for years) And in Manhattan! Coming through the door is a snub nose
44 What the barrel can't snort it can spatter on the floor Your eyeballs
feel like pinballs And your tongue feels like a fish You're leaping from
the windows... saying don't Ayairgh! *@! Don't give me none of this!
I get good advice from the advertising world Treat me nice says the party
girl Koke adds life where there isn't any So freeze, man, freeze Hit the
deck!
The Card Cheat
There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me" It's only
because he's lonely If the keeper of time runs slowly He won't be alive
for long! If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned
With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve? It means nothing!
To the opium den and the barroom gin In the Belmont chair playing violins
The gambler's face cracks into a grin As he lays down the king of spades
But the dealer just stares There's something wrong here, he thinks The
gambler is seized and forced to his knees And shot dead He only wanted
more time Away from the darkest door But his luck it gave in As the dawn
light crept in And he lay on the floor From the Hundred Year War to the
Crimea With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear To all of the men who
have stood with no fear In the service of the King Before you met your
fate be sure you Did not forsake your lover May not be around anymore.
Lover's Rock
Yeh, you must treat your lover girl right If you
wanna make lover's rock You must know a place you can kiss to make lovers
rock cause everybody knows it's a crying shame But nobody knows the poor
babie's name When she forgot that thing that she had to swallow You Western
man, you're free with your seed When you make lovers rock But woops!
there goes the strength that you need To make real cool lovers rock cause
a genuine lover takes off his clothes And he can make a lover in a thousand
go's and she don't need that thing that she had to swallow.
Four Horsemen
Well they were given the grapes that go ripe in
the sun That loosen the screws at the back of the tongue But they told
no one where they had begun... four horsemen They were given al lthe foods
of vanity And all the instant promises of immortality Buyt they bit the
dust screamin' insanity!... four horsemen One was over the edge, one was
over the cliff One was lickin' em dry with a bloody great spliff When they
picked up the hiker he didn't want the lift From the horsemen But you!
You're not searching, are you now? You're not looking anyhow You're
never gonna ride that lonely mile Or put yourself up on trial Oh, you told
me how your life was so bad and I agree that it does seem sad But that's
the price that you gotta pay If you're lazing all around all day Four horsement
coming right through Four horsemen and they're pissing by you They make
you look like you're wearing a truss Four hosemen and it's gonna be us
Well they gave useverything for bending the mind and we cleaned out their
pockets and we drank 'em blind it's a long way to the finish so don't get
left behind By those horsemen And they gave us the grapes that went ripe
in the sun That loosen the scews at the back of the tongue But we still
told nothing about what was to come Four horsemen.
I'm Not Down
If it's true that a rich man leads a sad life 'n
that's what they from day to day Then what do all the poor do with their
lives? Have nothing to say on judgment day? I've been beat
up, I've been thrown Out but I'm not down, I'm not down I've been shown
up, but I've grown up And I'm not down, I'm not down On my own I faced
a gang of jeering in strange streets When my nerves were pumping and I
Fought my fear in, I did not run I was not done And I have lived that kind
of day When one of your sorrows will go away It goes down and down and
hit the floor Down and down and down some more Depression But I now there'll
be some way When I can swing everything back my way Like skyscrapers rising
up Floor by floor, I'm not giving up So you rock around and think that
You're the toughest In the world, the whole wide world But you're streets
away from where It gets the roughest You ain't been there.
Revolution Rock (J. Edwards & D. Ray cover
song)
Revolution rock, it is a brand new rock A bad,
bad rock, this here revolution rock Careful how you move, Mac, you dig
me in me back and I'm so pilled up that I rattle I have got the sharpeest
knife, so I cut the biggest slice But I have no time to do battle Everybody
smash up your seats and rock to this Brand new beat This here music mash
up the nation This here music cause a sensation Tell your ma, tell your
pa everything's gonna be all right Can't you feel it? Don't ignore it Gonna
be Alright Revolution rock, I am in a state of shock So bad, bad rock,
this here revolution rock Careful how you slide, Clyde, all you did was
glide And you poured your beer in me hat With my good eye on the beat,
living on fixation street And I ain't got no time for that.
Train In Vain
Say you stand by your man Tell me something I don't
understand You said you love me and that's a fact Then you left me, said
you felt trapped Well some things you can explain away But my heartache's
in me till this day Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by
me No way All the times When we were close I'll remember these things the
most I see all my dreams come tumbling down I won't be happy without you
around So all alone I keep the wolves at bay There is only one thing that
I can say You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke
to me Did you stand by me No, not at all Now I got a job But it don't pay
I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all these things
I can do But without your love I won't make it through But you don't understand
my point of view I suppose there's nothing I can do You must explain why
this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way Did you stand
by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way.
