Clash - Brand New Cadillac - lyrics

(vince taylor)
Driiiiiiiive!!!
Driiiiiiiive!!!
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 aint never comin back!
Baby, baby, wont you hear my plea?
Cmon, sugar, just come on back to me
She said, balls to you, big daddy.
She aint never coming back!
Baby, baby, wont you hear my plea?
Oh cmon, just hear my plea
She said, balls to you, daddy.
She aint coming back to me
Baby, baby drove up in a cadillac
I said, jesus christ! whered you get that cadillac?
She said, balls to you, daddy.
She aint never coming back!

Clash - 1977 - lyrics

(strummer/jones)
In 1977 I hope I go to heaven
Cos I been too long on the dole
And I cant work at all
Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No elvis, beatles, or the rolling stones
In 1977
In 1977
Knives in west 11
Lent so lucky to be rich
Sten guns in knightsbridge
Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No elvis, beatles or the rolling stones
In 1977
In 1977
Youre on the never never
You think it cant go on forever
But the papers say its better
I dont care cos Im not all there
No elvis, beatles or the rolling stones
In 1977
Sod the jubilee
In 1978
In 1979
Stayed in bed
In 1980
In 1981
The toilet dont work
In 1982
In 1983
Here come the police
In 1984

Clash - Atom Tan - lyrics

Now the corporations stopped!
Stopped pushing fast food
Been a multiple shooting
Downtown at the bank
Reluctantly the panic begins
To catch fire
But it did not affect
The steady sale of jun
The state office looked
It looked like hollywood
With make-up bleeding all over the cracks
Wo he blew his lines
Facing the cameras
He suffered the first
Chorus
All live heart attack
Oh youve caught an even atom tan
The motor-cyanide
Cyanide suicide
He finally found the brick wall in his life
Shining up his engine
He dressed right up for it
At the top of the speedo
He crumpled the bike
Theres plenty people runnin runnin for cover-
Hoping at best to hold off al the rest
Once last stand at the bunker fire
Machine gun and pitchfork and breast
Chorus
But it isnt so easy
So easy for lovers
Chained in love
Stained at the top of the tower
The pink hearse is leaving at funeral speed
Driving your heart
Away with the flowers
All night I waited
I waited for a horseman
His ever faithful
His indian friend
Im not the only one
Of the caped crusader fan club watching the sky
For mankinds friend
Chorus
Oh youve caught an even atom tan
Calamine

Clash - Bankrobber - lyrics

(strummer/jones)
My daddy was a bankrobber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to steal your money
Some is rich, and some is poor
Thats the way the world is
But I dont believe in lying back
Sayln how bad your luck is
So we came to jazz it up
We never loved a shovel
Break your back to earn your pay
An dont forget to grovel
The old man spoke up in a bar
Said I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison
Imagine if all the boys in jail
Could get out now together
Whadda you think theyd want to say to us?
While we was being clever
Someday youll meet your rocking chair
Cos thats where were spinning
Theres no point to wanna comb your hair
When its grey and thinning
Run rabbit run
Strike out boys, for the hills
I can find that hole in the wall
And I know that they never will

Clash - Capital Radio - lyrics

(strummer/jones)
Yes, it's time for the dr. goebbels
Show!
There's a tower in the heart of london
With a radio station right at the top
They don't make the city beat
They're making all the action stop
A long time ago there were pirates
Beaming waves from the sea
But now all the stations are silenced
'cos they ain't got a government license
Wanna tell your problems
Phone in from your bedsit room
Having trouble with your partner
Let us all in on the news
If you wanna hear a record
Get the word from aiden day
He picks all the hits to play
To keep you in your place all day
Capital radio
In tune with nothing
Don't touch that dial

Clash - 1-2 Crush On You - lyrics

(strummer/jones)
Standing in a queue of a school canteen
Guys on the corner they were laughin at me
But I dont mind if they see it all
You know I gotta come clean
I gotta come clean
I got a crush on you
My mind dont need it but my body do
A little bit of loving and attention for you
Although were only strangers
They dont need to know
I gotta cum clean, I gotta cum clean
Ooh, I got a crush on you
I wanna get serious right away
1-2, I got a crush on you
What you doin today or any other day?
1-2, I got a crush on you
Just one look and I go insane
1-2, I got a crush on you
Your daddy never comes to get you
`cos lives so far away
But his i-talian chauffeur shows up every day
But Ill get you in the corner, Ill get you all
Alone
I gotta cum clean, I gotta come clean
I got a crush on you
1-2, I got a crush on you
1-2, I got a crush on you
1-2, I got a crush on you
I said 1-2
I got a crush on you
Why should I get a crush on yet?

Clash - 48 Hours - lyrics

(strummer/jones)
Friday or saturday, what does that mean
Short space of time needs a heavy scene
Monday is coming like a jail on wheels
48 hours needs 48
48 hours needs 48
48 hours needs 48
Thrills
48 thrills
So tell me an Ill take the tube
You know a girl, yeah well shes bound to be rude
Cant get nothing at the places Ive been
Ive combed this town from top to bottom
I try to get around but my legs are broken
Every time I miss it cos I aint got a ticket
48 hours needs 48 thrills
Kicking for kicks

Clash - All The Young Punks - lyrics

all the young punks (new boots and contracts)
(strummer/jones)
Hanging about
Down the market street
I spent a lot of time on my feet
When i saw some passing yabbos
We did chance to speak
I knew how to sing
Y' know an
They knew how to pose
An' one of them had a les paul
Heart attack machine
All the young punks
Laugh your life
Cos there ain't much to cry for
All the young cunts
Live it now
Cos there ain't much to die for
Everybody wants to bum
A ride on the rock 'n' roller coaster
And we went out
Got our name in small print on the poster
Of course we got a manager
Though he ain't the mafia
A contract is a contract
When they get 'em out on yer
You gotta drag yourself to work
Drug yourself to sleep
You're dead from the neck up
By the middle of the week
Face front you got the future shining
Like a piece of gold
But i swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot

Clash - Are You Red.. Y - lyrics

(strummer/rhodes)
Are you ready for
Are you ready for
War
War
War
High above the satellites
View the earth
(? ? ? ) nights
Europe switches off those lights
Are you ready for
War, all in all this sentimental
War, wall to wall with the regimental
War, with all the things continental
Are you red
War
War
War
Theres no use runnin a mobile home
Everywhere is a target zone
Hell is ringing on the red, red phone
Are you ready for
War, all that is futuristic
War, all that is realistic
War, all that will be ballistic
Are you red
War
War
War
Are you ready for
Are you ready for
Vodka chilled in the kremlin bar
Ride on the rocky (? ? ? ) and hold my arm
Raise my glass and break it on the bar
Are you ready for
War, all in all this sentimental
War, wall to wall with the regimental
War, with all the things continental
Are you red
Are you ready for
War
War
War

Clash - Armagideon Time - lyrics

(w. williams/j. mitoo)
Stay around dont play around
This old town and all
Seems like I got to travel on
A lot of people wont get no supper tonight
A lot of people wont get no justice tonight
The battle is gettin hotter
In this iration, armagideon time
A lot of people runnin and a hiding tonight
A lot of people wont get no justice tonight
Remember to kick it over
No one will guide you - armagideon time
Ad lib vocals
