Cinderella | Hell On Wheels | /c/cinderella/hell+on+wheels_20031400.html | We hang tough
When the chips are low
Can't buy enough
So we steal the show
We get so hot
We can't cool down
So the hell with that
We're rippin' through your town
We've had enough of the raw deals
Hit the road and tell ya how it feels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
We live fast
But we love it so
Can't see the past
But it's gone we know
We get so hot
We can't cool down
So the hell with that
We're burnin' through your town
We've had enough of the raw deals
Hit the road and tell ya how it feels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Run like hell
Hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels
Like hell on wheels

Cinderella | Hot And Bothered | /c/cinderella/hot+bothered_20031430.html | You got me jumpin' right out of my skin
You keep it up and I'll be comin' on in
You start a feelin' you're the cream of the crop
You gonna break my heart or just make it stop
You told me that you'd always love me true
But then I heard you told another guy too
Take a cold shower but the water boils hot
The way you twist and shake it girl
You tie me in a knot
And get me hot
Ooo hot and bothered
So hot and bothered
You get me
Hot and bothered
Come on now
Now listen
I pick you up at eight by ten we do the town
Empty my pockets just a tryin' to get you down
Throw in the towel I think your games are such a bore
Just when I think I've lost you pull me to the floor
And get me hot
Ooo hot and bothered
So hot and bothered
You get me
Hot and bothered
So hot and bothered
Ooo you get me hot
Hot and bothered
So hot and bothered
Baby baby baby get me hot
Ooo hot and bothered
So hot and bothered You get me
Hot and bothered

So hot and bothered
You get me
Hot and bothered
Hot and bothered
So hot and bothered
Hot and bothered
You get me
Hot and bothered
So hot and bothered
Ooo hot and bothered

Cinderella | I'm Giving Love For Christmas | /c/cinderella/im+giving+love+for+christmas_20827083.html | I'm giving love for Christmas
To everyone I know
It doesn't need a bow
It only needs to come from your heart
I'm giving love for Christmas
So everyone can see
What Christmas means to me
It's more than presents under the tree
Christmas is all about caring
And as every princess knows
Nothing is quiet as warming
When it's storming or it snows
So, I'm giving love for Christmas
The best gift that I can give
And in these times we live
It seems more and more, what we're looking for
Christmas is being with family
Seeing all the friends you've missed
Making new Christmas memories
That's the first thing on my Christmas list
I'd give you everything
If I had everything, it's true
But all that I have is my heart to give
So that's what I'm giving you
I'm giving love for Christmas
And hoping that you will too
(I will, I will)
And hoping that if you do
It just might be me, you give your love to
And that would be
My best Christmas dream come true

Cinderella | In From The Outside | /c/cinderella/in+from+the+outside_20031401.html | I've been loved and I've been shoved
beaten every step of the way
lived by the glass
and got a little ass
three or four times a day
Well, I've seen blood like Noah's flood
I think its gonna take us away
Tellin' you should listen real good
Hells come back to stay
Well you can't take it with you
Its a one way ride
Baby's had enough of lookin'
In from the outside
In from the outside
Feelin' down low, time to let go
you're only as good as you please
Walk before you crawl, make the last call
You need it like a social disease
Well you can't take it with you
Its a one way ride
Baby's had enough of lookin'
In from the outside
In from the outside
In from the outside
I've been loved and I've been shoved
Beaten every step of the way
Lived by the glass
And got a little ass
Three or four times a day
Well you can't take it with you
Its a one way ride
Baby's had enough of lookin'
In from the outside
In from the outside
In from the outside

Looking for sympathy
You just keep on walkin'
Actin' like you don't know me
Ain't nothin' new for you
Honey what you put me through
Seven years ago today
There ain't no other way
Once bitten now two cents shy
Almost the apple of your daddy's eye
But your love
Your love's gone bad
Yea, yea, yea
Your love
Your love's gone bad
If I hear you talkin'
Gettin' in my ear
Listen to the words I say
Let me make this very clear
Don't ask for money
Don't you think my name
Everything was sunny
Dream about it ain't the same
Once bitten now two cents shy
Almost the apple of your daddy's eye
But your love
Your love's gone bad
Yea, yea, yea
Your love
Your love's gone bad
Once bitten now two cents shy

Cinderella | Love's Got Me Doin' Time | /c/cinderella/loves+got+me+doin+time_20031368.html | Have mercy on a poor boy's heart
'Cause I got the key that can make your motor start
Can't you love me
Without messin' me around
You took everything I got then kick me when I'm down
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Have mercy on a poor boy's soul
I've been down so long never thought I could feel so low
First you love me
Then you stab my back
Close the door, turn the key, all I can see is black
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
So what's a poor boy supposed to do
I've done everything I can, I've been so true
You got a mean streak
Like an alley cat
You sucked all the love from me like a vampire bat
Ooo, got this funny feeling that you ain't on the level
I look into those eyes but all I see's the devil
I heard through the vine that you may not be mine
Don't lock me up
I can't pay the fine
Make up your mind before you make me lose mine
Your love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time
Love's got me doin'
Love's got me doin' time

Cinderella | Make Your Own Way | /c/cinderella/make+your+own+way_20031369.html | Born and raised in a one dog town
That never took a chance or a dare
The times kept a changin' but it all passed 'em by
The prejudices in the air
Drove me to cocaine eyes by the age of one five
Kept my momma walking the floor
But I had to draw the line for the very last time
She kicked my ass out the door
It ain't always easy when you're living hand to mouth
The more you put in, the less you get out
It ain't always easy when you're living day to day
It ain't always easy when you're tryin' to make your own way
Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make your own way
Nobody's gonna die for you
I remember rollin' dice on the run
Looking for a winning hand
We never stop to wonder at the wonders passing by
Just searchin' for the promised land
We met a mean old man
Who dealt a dirty hand
Promised we could touch the sky
But the devil's his friend
He put the pen in my hand
Said you can pay me back after you die
It ain't always easy when you're living hand to mouth
The more you put in, the less you get out
It ain't always easy when you're living day to day
It ain't always easy when you're tryin' to make your own way
Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make your own way
Nobody's gonna die for you
Ah, ah, ah sometimes you gotta walk the straight line
Ah, ah, ah feel like I'm just doing time
Ooo, when life gets a little hard
You gotta gotta ooo make your own way
Sometimes you gotta make your own way
Here we go
Ooo, sing it for 'em now, yeah
Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make your own way
Ain't nobody gonna die for you
Make your own way
When life's a little hard on you
Make your own way
Ain't nobody gonna die for you
Make your own way
You gotta gotta make your own way
Make your own way
Make your own way
You gotta make your own way
Make your own way
Gotta make your own way
Make your own way

And furthermore, I don't intend to
You got my heart dangling from a string, babe
You expect me to fight like I'm a goddamn mule

Sick and tired rat race takin' my thrills
Kickin' down a road, not a dollar in my pocket

Night songs
Howl into the light, singin'

Night songs
Raise your glass, take a bite
Night songs
Ridin' to the east and ridin' to the west
Sleepin' all day, but never get a rest

Livin' for the moment, time to get it tight

Cinderella | Nobody's Fool | /c/cinderella/nobodys+fool_20031382.html | I count the falling tears
They fall before my eyes
Seems like a thousand years
Since we broke the ties
I call you on the phone
But never get a rise
So sit there all alone
It's time you realize
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again, no, no
You take your road, i'll take mine
The paths have both been beaten
Searchin' for a change of pace
Love needs to be sweetened
I scream my heart out, just to make a dime
And with that dime i bought your love
But now i've changed my mind
I'm not your fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
I'm no fool
Nobody's fool
Nobody's fool
Never again, no, no

Cinderella | Nothin' For Nothin' | /c/cinderella/nothin+for+nothin_20031404.html | When you see your face in the mirror
Does it seem the end is gettin' nearer
All your life you spent as a wheeler
Now the hole you dug, it's gettin' deeper
You're talkin' words
But they don't make the rhyme
You'll lose it all
'Cause you can't draw the line
You got nothin'
(Nothin' for nothin')
You're hurtin' over time
(Nothin' for nothin')
And we don't need your time
(Nothin' for nothin')
Pushin', shovin', got no time
(Nothin' for nothin')
When you see the day gettin' darker
You can run to your lies, run to your cover
When you feel the heat from a lover
You hit the highway lookin' for another
You made the grade
You left the hills behind
You take the cake and eat it
You're so blind
You got nothin'
(Nothin' for nothin')
You're hurtin' over time
(Nothin' for nothin')
And we don't need your time
(Nothin' for nothin')
Pushin', shovin', got no time
(Nothin' for nothin')
(Nothin' for nothin')
You're hurtin' over time
(Nothin' for nothin')
And we don't need your time

The way I touch you
In the crossfire, live wire
Who said maybe
I said maybe won't do
The sands of time are slipping by
Dust to dust, no second try
You're only goin'
Once around the ride, yea
You're only goin'
Once around the ride
Rock hard, got an ace card
I ain't crazy
Just got nothin' to do
Day breaks, I'll take
Can't wait forever
'Cause my life will be through
The sands of time are slipping by
Dust to dust, no second try
You're only goin'
Once around the ride, yea
You're only goin'

You're only goin'

Cinderella | One For Rock And Roll | /c/cinderella/one+for+rock+roll_20031370.html | I was born on the dawn of a new society
And I feel lucky that my eyes could see
People standing up and being
Who they want to be
People made the music
And the music may them free
Now I was just a baby through
The summer of love they say
But it still feels like it was yesterday
And if the road gets rough
I pick up my guitar and play
It's always been right by my side
To help me on my way
[Chorus]
Now I don't need to worry 'bout tomorrow
Ain't anticipating what's to come
And I don't need to worry 'bout
The things I have not done
Long as I got rock and roll
I'm forever young
Now we can't always understand this world
Farther along we'll understand it all
The '70s looked like we all
Were headed for a fall
But those who listened hard enough
Could hear the summer call
Now I was growing up through all of this
My first beer and love and my first kiss
You never learn the things in school
You learn by living and going through
You taught me to be myself
How can I thank you
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Ain't it truth!

Gives me a squeeze, gets me kickin' the walls

Cinderella | Shelter Me | /c/cinderella/shelter+me_20031371.html | Everybody needs a little place they can hide
Somewhere to call their own
Don't let nobody inside
Every now and then we all need to let go
For some it's the doctor
For me it's rock and roll
For some it's a bottle
For some it's a pill
Some people wave the Bible
Cause it's giving them a thrill
Others point their finger
If they don't like what they see
If you live in a glass house
Don't be throwing rocks at me
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright
Check out Mr. Politician in his suit and tie
But when the doors are closed
There ain't nothin' he won't try
Meanwhine Mr. Medicine's
treating his best friend's wife
Tipper lead the war against the record industry
She said she saw the devil on her MTV
To look into the cabinet
It takes more than a key
Just like Jimmy's skeletons
And his ministry
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright
Hit it now
For some it's the needle
For some it's the kill
Some people wave the Bible
'Cause it's giving them a thrill
You can spend your money
Before you get your pay
With a toss of the dice
You can piss it all away
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper to get us by
We all need a little shelter
Just a little helper ooo, and it'll be alright

Cinderella | Sick For The Cure | /c/cinderella/sick+for+the+cure_20031372.html | There used to be a time when I thought I had the answers
Answers to the questions that nobody knew
Used to be a time when I had some time
But when I had the time, I didn't know what to do
Wasted all those years never gettin? any younger
Times kept a changin? but I still got the hunger
Only trouble is the walls are closing in
Sometimes I want to give it all away
I just wanna be free
Free like the wind
And if the wind fills my sails
Then I'm never comin' back again
Maybe I?ll head down south to New Orleans
Wouldn't have no taxes ?cause I wouldn't have no means
Lookin' for a Genie that could fill my dreams
But dreams become reality and real ain't what it seems to be
I just wanna be free
Free like the wind
And if the wind fills my sails
Then I'm never comin' back again
I just wanna be free
Free like the wind
And if the wind fills my sails
Then I'm never comin' back again
Sick for the cure on this roller coaster ride
It can take you real low and it can get you real high
Just passin? time
But time ain't on our side
Ah, guitar
I just wanna be free
Free like the wind
And if the wind fills my sails
Then I'm never comin' back again
I just wanna be free
Free like the wind
And if the wind fills my sails
Then I'm never comin' back again
I just wanna be free
Free like the wind
And if the wind fills my sails
Then I'm never comin' back again, alright

Cinderella | Somebody Save Me | /c/cinderella/somebody+save+me_20031386.html | When I was a young boy
They said you're only gettin' older
But how was I to know then
That they'd be cryin' on my shoulder
Put your money in a big house
Get yourself a pretty wife
She'll collect your life insurance
When she connects you with a knife
Somebody get the doctor
I'm feelin' pretty poor
Somebody get the stretcher
Before I hit the floor
Somebody save me
I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree
Somebody save me
Save me
Everybody's got opinions
But nobody's got the answers
And that shit you ate for breakfast
Well it'll only give you cancer
We're runnin' in a circle
Runnin' to the morning light
And if ya ain't quite workable
It's been one hell of a night
Somebody get the doctor
I think i'm gonna crash
Never paid the bill
Because i ain't got the cash
Somebody save me
I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree
Somebody save me
Save me
Look out
Save me
I lost my job, they kicked me out of my tree
Somebody save me, oh
Save me
Somebody save me
I'm goin' down for the last time, look out
Save me
Sa-a-a-a-a-a-ave me
Save me

Got their heads so high
They can't see their feet
With their blinders on
They walk the endless mile
Working for that perfect life of style
But I'm lookin' for a better way
Something in my life
Nothing ever seems to satisfy
I reach my hands out to the sky
And I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I'm still climbing oh yeah
I'll be climbing for the rest of my life
I hear people talkin' all day long
Got their minds made up

With their hearts so cold
They never ever feel
Losing touch with everything that's real

Trying to make it on my way
I took a ride wasn't getting any older
Seventeen was here to stay
They caught us living a dream
We tried to get out the steam
Take me back
'Cause I need to be reminded
What I left behind me
So far away
Take me back
'Cause I need to feel the fire
Yesterday's desire
Ain't far away
I was raised by my daddy's hand
My mama taught me how to pray
Got no regrets 'bout the things I've done
Now I'm lookin' back to yesterday
They caught us living a dream
We tried to get out the steam
Take me back

So far away

Scraped ya up to drag ya
Home on the range you got the flame

And it's lonely at the top, so run to
Mommy's always waitin'

Cinderella | The More Things Change | /c/cinderella/the+more+things+change_20031421.html | Woke up this morning on the wrong side of bed
I got this feeling like a train's running through my head
Turned on my radio to the same old song
Some big mouth talking trying to tell us where the world went wrong
But all this talk of peace and love
It's only for the news
'Cause everytime you trust someone
You end up getting screwed
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain
Came to this morning i was feeling mighty used
Picked up the telephone but all i got's a major attitude
Turned on the tv to the same old news
Everybody thinks they got the answer to the same old blues
Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away from the pain
Take me away
Like a hot smokin' pistol on a saturday night
You gotta go for the throat
You gotta fight for your life
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle to take us all away
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Everyone's your brother till you turn the other way
The more things change
The more they stay the same
All we need's a miracle

Sometimes can be rough
At six years old I was thinkin'
Seven would be just enough
But I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong, yeah
Ten years old and I'm growin'
Thinkin' I got it sussed
Mama said you'll be a fine young man
I thought I already was
But I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong
'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still long
Eighteen years I'm a rebel
Thinkin' I'm pretty tough
Daddy said you got a lot to learn
I thought that I'd learned enough
But I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong, yeah
Twenty-five was a good time
Comin' into my own
Climbed the mountain and I reached for the sky
I thought that I had it all
But I was wrong
Ooh I was wrong
'Cause when you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
When you get where you're going
The road's still long
(The road's still long)
They all try to tell you but who are they to say
'Cause the best things that you learn you find out on your way
No time for feelin' sorry just time for being strong
When you get where your going
The road's still long
Now I see where I come from
Now I see where I am
Now I see that you never really know
So you just gotta do the best you can
That ain't wrong
Ooh that ain't wrong no

In a world gone mad
To find the truth
To understand
And I know it's hard
To turn the page
To walk the line
To have the faith
But sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
I know it's hard
In a world so cold
To feel the love
I know it's hard
And I know it's true
That in the end
We all find our way
And that's life my friend
But sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
World keeps turning
Nothing changes
Hope this time
We can rearrange the stars
It can't be that hard no
Sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Sometimes when it's light
And you can see
Sometimes when this world
Just seems to be so cold
Sometimes when you're lost at sea
Drowning in your pain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Ooo let it shine
Shine through the rain
Ooo let it shine
Shine through the rain
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain
Don't you know it's gonna shine yea
Shining down on you
Sometimes the sun shines through the rain

To the soapbox stool
Let me tell ya some stories
About how life can be cruel
I had big dreams
But they turned to dust
I need another shot of oil
'Cause it's starting to rust
And I'm tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to find my way
I've been bustin' my ass
To be somebody someday
Tryin' to make a living
Tryin' to get ahead
Shootin' at the moon
But it shot me down instead
[Chorus:]
War stories
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it through the battle of life
And it's on and on until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
Through those war stories
Everybody's got 'em, when you hit the bottom and survive
I said have another drink
This one's on me
Let me tell ya 'bout pain from A to Z
I got scars from my head to my feet
Some like a junkyard car still rolling down the streets
And I'm tryin' to make a dollar
Tryin' to pay my way
I've been bustin' my balls
And then they take it all away
Tryin' to climb the ladder
Reaching for the sky
I ain't going down
Until they hang me out to dry
[Chorus]
And it's on and on, until you're long gone
But the strong keep stickin' it out
They got towing the line 'til the sun don't shine
But all I got left to talk about
Are those war stories.
I'm kickin' and fightin' for my life
Through those war stories
I made it through the battle of life
War stories
Through those war stories
Everybody's got 'em when you hit the bottom and survive

Can almost count the years
The memories are clearer
Of all those things I feared
I watch the time pass slowly
It comes and goes like the waves
The sea can touch the sky at night
It's got the freedom I crave
I'm going through changes in my life
I'm going through changes
It'll be alright
Look into a picture
A thousand years are told
Now is it any wonder
What our tomorrows hold
Our yesterdays are over
You know they go so fast
If I could rule the winds of change
You know I'd make it all last
I'm going through changes in my life
I'm going through changes
It'll be alright
Alright
I walked alone through the blackest night
I felt the cold, I felt the bite
I took the high road but it ain't right
It's just the low road in disguise
I'm going through changes
Ah yea
Everything's gonna be alright, yea
Got to the top of an uphill climb
Only to look down the other side
Just when you think it's on your side
This world will show you ain't no reason to the rhyme
I'm going through changes
Ah yea
Everything's gonna be alright
Times keep a changing every day
Watch out now cause it's heading your way
Ah yea
Seems like the world turned upside down
Seems like everything's falling down
But it's all getting better every day
Watch out now cause a good times heading our way
Ah, every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day
Every day

Clash | Atom Tan | /c/clash/atom+tan_20031779.html | 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 you've 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
There's plenty people runnin' runnin' for cover-
Hoping at best to hold off all the rest
Once last stand at the bunker fire
Machine gun and pitchfork and breast
[Chorus:]
But it isn't 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
I'm not the only one
Of the caped crusader fan club watching the sky
For mankind's friend
[Chorus:]
Oh you've caught an even atom tan
Calamine

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
'Cause they ain't got a government license
Want to tell your problems?
Phone in from your bedsit room
Having trouble with your partner?
Let us all in on the news
If you want to 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
Don't touch that dial
Don't touch that dial...

Clash | Car Jamming | /c/clash/car+jamming_20031780.html | Tonight they're closing up the world
N' sweeping smoke from cigarettes
And what is that funk multi-national
Anthem rocking from a thousand
King Kong cassette decks
Then a shy boy from Missouri
Boots blown off in a sixties war
Riding aluminum crutches
Now he knows the welfare kindness n'
Agent Orange color blindness
As we works from door to door
The violence in the carpets
The mirror of his wife
Drives the slum-bum dweller
To grind his hunting knife
In homesteads of cigar box-radios
Hive like bees
The body in the ice
Box has no date for freeeeeze
[Chorus:]
In a car jam
Selling is what selling sells
But only saints of the seven avenues can sell
The hells
Fanning the drug afflicted leperizing acne
Once inside the executive
He never leaves his home
Gorillas drag their victims
Hyenas try to sue
Snakes find grass in concrete
There is no city zoo by
Ventilation units where towers
Meet the streets
The ragged stand in bags
Soaking heat up through their feet
This was the only kindness
And it was accidental too
[Chorus:]
Now shaking single engined planes
Traffik-king stereos from Cuba
Buzzed the holy zealot mass
And drowned out Missa Luba
And drowned out Missa Luba
I thought I saw Lauren Bacall
I thought I saw Lauren Bacall
I swear
Hey fellas
Lauren Bacall
In a car jam
Yeah I don't believe it
In a car jam
Ah yeah positively absolutely

Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock

But you got drunk an' fallen down
An' I wished I could be like you
With the Soho River drinking me down
In the city of the dead
Fall in love an' fall in bed
It wasn't anything you said
Except I know we both lie dead
Don't you know where to cop
That's what New York Johnny said
You should get to know your town
Just like I know mine
While all the windows stare ahead
An' the streets are filled with dread
Every nation in the world
Slinks through the alley after girls
What we wear is dangerous gear
It'll get you picked on anywhere
Though we get beat up we don't care
At least it livens up the air
But someday's we hide inside
All courage gone and paralyzed
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
Today the jerks have got aggression
It is the city of the dead

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
D'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?

To chop my way through the path of life?
Does it mean I should run with the dog pack

But don't go down alone new, Sammy!
The wind has blown away the corner soul
Is the music calling for a river of blood?

Clash | Death Is A Star | /c/clash/death+is+a+star_20031781.html | And I was gripped by that deadly phantom
I followed him through hard jungles
As he stalked through the back lots
Strangling through the night shades
The thief of life
Moved onwards and outwards to love
In a one stop only motel
A storm bangs on the cheapest room
The phantom slips in to spill blood
Even on the sweetest honeymoon
The killer of love
Caught the last late Niagara bus
By chance or escaping from misery
By suddenness or in answer to pain
Smoking in the dark cinema
You could see the bad go down again
And the clouds are high in Spanish mountains
And a Ford roars through the night full of rain.
The killer's blood flows
But he loads his gun again
Make a grown man cry like a girl
To see the guns dying at sunset
In vain lovers claimed
But they never had met.

Clash | Death Or Glory | /c/clash/death+or+glory_20031716.html | Now 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
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
Death or glory becomes just another story
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
He who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Fear in the down sex
They say lie low
You say okay
Don't wanna play a show
No other thinking
Was it death or glory now
Playing the blues of kings
Sure looks better now
Death or glory just another story
Death or glory just another story
From every dingy basement on every dingy street
Every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
That's just the beat of time-the beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years we already heard your song
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story
Gotta launch long way
Fight a long time
Get to travel over mountains
Got to travel over seas
We gonna fight your brother
We gonna fight til you loose
We gonna raise trouble
We gonna raise hell
We gonna fight your brother
We gonna raise hell
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story

Clash | Dictator | /c/clash/dictator_20031793.html | Yes I am the dictator the more guns I got the better
Yes I am the liquidator I carry the old Beretta
You know there once was freedom
You know how dangerous that can be
The people used to dance and sing
And they used to run wild in the streets
But now I am the voice
Howling from your radio
From my armor plated Cadillac
You'll hear what I say goes
Yes I am the dictator I satisfy the U.S. team
I always do my killing in the woods and keep the city gutters clean
Cause I need a few more dollars
For my fighter pilot to be free
To dive bomb on the population
If they go running wild in the streets
Yes I am that voice, etc
Yes I am the crusader I spent twenty years in exile
But now I am the invader and I'm never never gonna die
Yes I am the dictator my name is on your ballot sheet
But until my box has your cross you know the form is incomplete
And you know, etc

A paying off the big fine
Drug stabbin' time
Drug stabbin' time

Nobody wants a user
Nobody needs a loser
So kick him out that door
An' don't answer it no more
Drug stabbin' time
It's a Greenwich Mean Time
Your friends all hate each other you think
You've got another
But who's at the door?
Don't answer it no more
Drug stabbin' time
In a bedroom crime
There's a tape recording on a telephone line
An' it's ringin' from the floor
So don't answer it no more
Now I was lying in my room
It was raining drugs all afternoon
I hear this car pull up outside
Comes to a stop like, skreeee
Someone's in a hurry
'N someone better worry
'Cos these four guys all had on their feet
A pair of black shoes shining and neat
I thinks
Black shoes on
No that's bad news
Here they come charging up the stairs alright
Sonny just tell us where
Drug stabbin' time
Don't ask me mate
Working on the ford line
Paying off the big fine
Drug stabbin' time

An' the Terrace it is fenced in
See-through shields are walled across
The way that you came in
But there's no need to get excited
As the lorries bring the bacon in
'Cos the housewives are all singing
Groovy times are here again
They discovered one black Saturday
That mobs don't march they run
So you can excuse the nervous triggerman
Just this once for jumping the gun
As they were picking up the dead
Out of the broken glass
Yes it's Number One, the radio said
Groovy times have come to pass!
Groovy times groovy times groovy times
The intake is on the uptake
The acceleration's pretty grim
I can remember his first appearance
Now look what's happened to him
So they put him in a dog suit
Like from 1964
The King of Early Evening TV
Groovy times forever more
Groovy times

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

You lucky lady!
An' he knows when the evening comes
When his job is done he'll be over in his car for you
An' in the in-tray lots of work
But the boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
But he's just like everyone, he's got a Ford Cortina
That just won't run without fuel

This time he's gonna really tell the boss
Gonna really let him know exactly how he feels

When some punk sees some rock-olla
It's rock and roll all over
In every street and every station
Kids fight like different nations
And it's brawn against brain
And it's knife against chain
But it's all young blood
Flowing down the drain
The Crops hit the Stiffs
An' the Spikes whipped the Quiffs
They're all looking 'round
For the last gang in town
Meanwhile down in black town
Those old soul rebels are haingin' around
An' when some punk come a looking for sound
Rastafari goes to ground
The white heart flipped his pocket dipped
'cause a black sharp knife never slips
And they never say to one another
That tomorrow we might kill our brothers
Down from the edge of London
The rockabilly rebels came
From another edge of London
Skinhead gangs call out their name
But not the Zydeco kids
From the high rise
Though they can't be recognized
When you hear a Cajun fiddle
Then you're nearly in the middle
Of the last gang in town

Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river

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 want to shout
But when we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eye
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
London is drowning, and I, I live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there, too

London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?

I can no longer shop happily
I came in here 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
[Chorus]
I'm all tuned in, I see all the programs
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discotheque 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
[Chorus]
And it's not hear
It disappear
I'm all lost

You Western man, you're free with your seed
When you make lovers rock

Down among the racks

He'll remember you
Worried for my friend
As he shows me round the flat
Where I don't want to find him
His lips an' eyelids black
He don't believe my speech
That lines can and should be drawn
Like if he had a shotgun
The barrels would be sawn
Swallowed by the river
Swollen by the rains
That leakin' ol' computer
Of fingerprints and names
Swimming in the river
That floods the neighborhood
I would call to you
But it would do no good
Voting for the law
That's the general occupation
First comes the public safety
Second comes the nation
You won't believe me now
But there's been some illumination
The wisest cops have realized
They fucked the operation
Cooking up the books
A respected occupation
The anchor and foundation of multi-corporations
They don't believe in crime
They don't know that it exists
But to understand
What's right and wrong
The lawyers work in shifts
'N speaking of the devil
He ain't been seen for years
'Cept every twenty minutes
He zooms between me ears

But I read all the time
For ciphers to the riddles
An' reasons to the rhymes

The old lady kicks karate
For just a little walk down the street
The little baby he knows kung fu
He tries it on those he meets
'Cause its a one more time!
You don't need no silicone to calculate poverty
Watch when Watts town burns again
The bus goes to Montgomery
'Cause it's a one more time in the ghetto
One more time if you please
One more time for the dying man
One more time to be free

For the same reason no one ever
Pointed a telescope at the sun
Talking about the Red Angels of New York City

Who shot the shot?
Who got shot tonight?
Not even five enforcement agencies can save their own.
Never mind the people
Tonight it's raining on the Angels of the City
Did anyone prophesize these people?
Only Travis
Come in Travis
One of these days I'm gonna get myself organized.
All the animals come out at night.
Queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick venal.
Some day a real rain will come and wash all the scum off the streets.
Thank god for the rain to wash the trash off the sidewalk. Listen you
screwheads:
Here is a man who would not take it anymore.
A man who stood up against the scum, the filth.
Now I see clearly.
Personally I know the alley
Where Jack feeds on the birds of night
Not even bubbies on bicycles 2x2
Can stop the blood and feathers flying
Waring overalls and for once and for all
What is the dream?
I'll tell it
To live like they do in the movies
San Juan you listening?
Yeah I bet you are
Hands up for Hollywood
Hooray
I hear you
Snappy on the air
Hang in their
Wall to wall
You saved the world
What else? You saved the girl
Champagne on ice
No stranger to Alcatraz
To boot
Or strip it down
Chop it a little
Being reasonable
Just freedom to move
To live
For women to take a walk in the park at midnight
Hey, but this is serious
She can't even get back home
I come from a long way off
And I know a life giver over a life taker
For the same reason no-one ever pointed
A gun at a policeman
Talking about the Red Angels of New York City
Yeah

While riding in a car
Some ol' guy takes a swig
And passes back the jar
But where they were last night
No-one can remember
Somebody got murdered
Goodbye, for keeps, forever
Somebody got murdered

And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare change
You wouldn't cosh a barber
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted
To grab it from the till
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement
They'll scrub it off the ground
As the daily crown disperses
No-one says that much
Somebody got murdered
And it' left me with a touch
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever

Are they drunk down below?
It's late, and my watch stopped
Some time ago
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
Are they drunk down below?

Of respected gentlemen
They say it would be wine an' roses
If England were for Englishmen again
Well I saw a dirty overcoat
At the foot of the pillar of the road
Propped inside was an old man
Whom time would not erode
When the night was snapped by sirens
Those blue lights circled fast
The dance hall called for an' ambulance
The bars all closed up fast
My silence gazing at the ceiling
While roaming the single room
I thought the old man could help me
If he could explain the gloom
You really think it's all new
You really think about it too
The old man coffed as he spoke to me
I'll tell you a thing or two
I missed the fourteen-eighteen war
But not the sorrow afterwards
With my father dead and my mother ran off
My brothers took the pay of hoods
The twenties turned the north was dead
The hunger strike came marching south
At the garden party not a word was said
The ladies lifted cake to their mouths
The next war began and my ship sailed
With battle orders writ'n in red
In five long years of bullets and shells
We left ten million dead
The few returned to old Piccadilly
We limped around Leicester Square
The world was busy rebuilding itself
The architects could not care
But how could we know when I was young
All the changes that were to come?
All the photos in the wallets on the battlefield
And now the terror of the scientific sun
There was masters an' servants an' servants an' dogs
They taught you how to touch your cap
But through strikes an' famine an' war an' peace
England never closed this gap
So leave me now the moon is up
But remember all the tales I tell
The memories that you have dragged up
Are on letters forwarded from hell
The streets were by now deserted
The gangs had trudged off home
The lights clicked off in the bedsits
An' old England was all alone

Clash | Stop The World | /c/clash/stop+the+world_20031748.html | The panorama of the city is wrong
In fact the city seems to be gone!
Burning rubber and smoke in my eyes
There's a flat burning junkheap
For twenty square miles!
They took it into the nuclear mine
Judging by this, they left nothing behind
Down in the bunkers in the crust of the earth
Now crouch the wealthy and the noble of birth
If I could a ride a train around the city
That holds this as our fate
I'd hide from electro-circuit central
To the shock inducer gate
Not forgetting the by-pass
Across the Washington hooks
Through the phones and desks and screens
Of the Kremlin's crook of crooks
There's some panel in a circuit board
Destination of the override
Scanning the wild wind
Blowing through the Berlin corridor
Spotlit in a palace, shielded from dust
Malfunction or not, the fail safe is the crux
So far away from us,
Shaking with the mystery tears
One lonely night in Ladbroke Grove
Far away in the deserts of Omaha!
They got it nailed down-Swiss tight!
The bank notes of Europe
The emperors and kings
Curl in the autumn as the burning of leaves
And I've cleaned my black guitar

Straight to hell
Oh Papa-San
Please take me home
Oh Papa-San
Everybody they want to go home
So Mamma-San says
You want to play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International
Hah! Junkiedom U.S.A.
Where procaine proves the purest rock man groove
And rat poison
The volatile molatov says-
Pssst...
Hey Chico we got a message for ya...
Vamos vamos muchacho
From alphabet city all the way a to z, dead, head
Go straight to hell
Can you really cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants
They want to sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man's land and there ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived round here
Go straight to hell boys

Clash | Tainted Love | /c/clash/tainted+love_20514047.html | Sometimes I feel I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
From the pain you drive into the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
And I've lost my light
For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh... Tainted love
Tainted love
Now I know I've got to
Run away I've got to
Get away
You don't really want anymore from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
And you think love is to pray
But I'm sorry I don't pray that way
Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I'll run from you
This tainted love you've given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Oh... Tainted love
Tainted love
Don't touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I'm gonna pack my things and go
Tainted love, tainted love (x2)
Touch me baby, tainted love (x2)
Tainted love (x3)

'N' you must not act the way you were brought up
Who knows the reasons why you have grown up?
Who knows the plans or why they were drawn up?
It's up to you not to heed the call-up
I don't want to die!
It's up to you not to hear the call-up
I don't want to kill!
For he who will die
Is he who will kill
Maybe I want to see the wheat fields
Over Kiev and down to the sea
All the young people down the ages
They gladly marched off to die
Proud city fathers used to watch them
Tears in their eyes
There is a rose that I want to live for
Although, God knows, I may not have met her
There is a dance an' I should be with her
There is a town - unlike any other
It's up to you not to hear the call-up
'N' you must not act the way you were brought up
Who give you work an' why should you do it?
At fifty five minutes past eleven
There is a rose...
Yeah!

Clash | The Card Cheat | /c/clash/the+card+cheat_20031844.html | There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me."
It's only because he's a-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

Across the river to South London
To dance to the latest hi-fi sound
Of bass, guitar and drum
Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure off
Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat
Take a piece of cloth, a coin for thirst
For the sweat will start to run
With a cymbal splash, a word of truth
And a rocking bass and drum
Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure on
Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat
So one by one they come on down
From the tower blocks of my home town
Stepping with the rhythm of the rockers beat
Drowning out the pressure of the crooked beat
Seeking out a rhythm that can take the tension on
Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat
It has crooked past this crooked street
Where cars patrol this crooked beat
Badges flash and sirens wail
They'll be taking one and all to jail
Prance! Prance! You want a law to dance?

Work was no joy
When his son had grown of age
You got to work now boy
Never ceasing for many years
Want to follow that boy?

See the fabulous jewels
See the world you have built it with shoulders of iron
See the world but it is not yours say the stealers of Zion
Geneva

Well well me an' you better think about that
In overdrive whooo
Till humanize is equalize
Put down the tools

Born under the Brixton sun

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

The molehill sets the wheel in motion
His downfall picks up locomotion

The leader's wife takes a government car
In the dark to meet her minister
But the leader never leaves his door ajar
As he swings his whip from the Boer War
He wore a leather mask for his dinner guests
Totally nude and with deep respect
Proposed a toast to the votes he gets
The feeling of power and the thought of sex!
Now the girl let the fat man touch her
Vodka fumes and the feel of a vulture
The driver waited in the embassy car
The fat man's trap was set for capture
So the girl let the thin man touch her
Mixing questions, drunken laughter
The ministry car was waiting there
A minister knows his own affair
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday

Take my baby to sophistication

Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours jerk

You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?
So get back to work an' sweat some more
The sun will sink an' we'll get out the door
It's no good for man to work in cages
Hits the town, he drinks his wages
You're frettin', you're sweatin'
But did you notice you ain't gettin'?
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To take your car outta that gear
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?

North of Watford junction
We get in but we don't have fun
An' we leave before the truncheons
So it's back to watch the day to day
Saga of working people
Hanging out the washing and clipping coupons
And generally being decent
Johnny too bad meets johnny be good
In the Charing Cross Road
That's the only thing that happened today
Says the west end jungle code
And all the Germans and all the French
Jam themselves down the tube
And re-enact the second world war
While the rude boys get rude!
And I look to my left
And I look to my right
And I'm looking for a man
I'm looking for a sign
I don't want to be the prisoner
The prisoner lives in Camden Town
Selling revolution
The prisoner loads his tracking arm up
With self-disillusion
Your mother does the washing up
Your old man digs the garden
You're only free to dodge the cops
An' bunk the train to stardom

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

Go out and get me another roll of pills
There I go again shaking, but I ain't got the chills

Wash away sin city
They say it was written
In the page of the Lord
But I was looking
For that great jazz note
That destroyed
The walls of Jericho
The winds of fear
Whip away the sickness
The messages on the tablet
Was valium
As the planets form
That golden cross Lord
I'll see you on
The holy cross roads
After all this time
To believe in Jesus
After all those drugs
I thought I was Him
After all my lying
And a-crying
And my suffering
I ain't good enough
I ain't clean enough
To be Him
The tribal wars
Burning up the homeland
The fuel of evil
Is raining from the sky
The sea of lava
Flowing down the mountain
The time will sleep
Us sinners by
Holy rollers roll
Give generously now
Pass the hubcap please
Thank you Lord

Like a man about to burst

Though I will disappear
Into the street parade
It's not too hard to cry
In these crying times
I'll take a broken heart
And take it home in parts
But I will never fade
I was in this place
By the first church of the city
I saw tears on the face
The face of a visionary
Though I will disappear
To join the street parade
Disappear and fade
Into the street parade

Are they howling out or doing somebody harm
On a catwalk jungle somebody grabbed my arm
A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm
This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel
Time on his hands freezing in those clothes
He won't go for the carrot
They beat him by the pole
Some sunny day confronted by his soul
He's out at sea, too far off, he can't go home
This is England
What we're supposed to die for
This is England
And we're never gonna cry no more
Black shadow of the Vincent
Falls on a Triumph line
I got my motorcycle jacket
But I'm walking all the time
South Atlantic wind blows
Ice from a dying creed
I see no glory
When will we be free
This is England
We can chain you to the rail
This is England
We can kill you in a jail
The British boots go kick them
Got 'em in the head
Police ain't watchin'
The newspapers been read
Who cares to protest
A (???) in the eye like a flare
Out came the batons and
The British warned themselves
This is England
The land of (il)legal dances
This is England
Land of a thousand stances
This is England
This knife of Sheffield steel
This is England
This is how we feel

Well some things you can explain away
But the heartache's in me till this day
[Chorus]
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 can't be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all

But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won't make it through

Reality estates that the hero's got
And every hour's marked by the chime of a clock
And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds?
You can piss in the lifts which have broken down
You can watch from the debris, the last bedroom light
We're invisible here just past midnight
And the wives hate their husbands and their husbands don't care
Their children daub slogans to prove they lived there
A giant pipe organ up in the air
You can't live in a home which should not have been built by the bourgeoise
clerks who bear no guilt
When the wind hits this building, this building it tilts
One day it will surely fall to the ground
Fear is just another commodity here
They sell us peeping holes to peek when we hear
A bang on the door resoundingly clear
Who would really want to move in here?
The children play faraway, the corridors are bare
This room is a cage, it's like captivity
How can anyone exist in such misery?
It has been said, "Not only here"
Allianza dollars are spent to raise the towering buildings for the weary bones
of the workers to go back in the morning
It has been said, "Not only here"
Allianza dollars are spent to raise the towering buildings for the weary bones

We saw that soul out on the cross roads
Waitin' there in the pouring rain
We called hey engine slow your rhythms
See he wants to ride the version train
We rode that train from Version City
For ninety-nine and one half years
I never seen such funky country
While riding with the engineers
Could not fill no application

Cliff Richard | A Misunderstood Man | /c/cliff+richard/a+misunderstood+man_20032068.html | The story is a famous one
Now worshipped, now dismissed
Rehearsed and trawled for meanings
That may well not exist
The demon at the story''s heart
The cuckoo in the nest
Gives so little of himself away
Which is the reason why you will stay
In case he falters, should betray
By whom or what possessed
These are the facts of the matter
These are the names in the case
This the story, the passion
The time and the place
They''re laid here before you
So judge if you can -
The devil incarnate or
A misunderstood man
His origins, his way of life
His motives - they''re all news
No shortage of detractors
To air their noisy views
The man inspires a thousand lies
The lover takes his choice
Remaining coldly in control
Aware that sadly, on the whole
It is the fool who bares his soul
I''ll give the man a voice!
These are the facts of the matter
These are the names in the case
This the story, the passion
The time and the place
They''re laid here before you
So judge if you can -
The devil incarnate or
A misunderstood man

No more talk of darkness.
Forget these wide-eyed fears.

My words will warm and calm you.
Let me be your freedom.
Let daylight dry your tears.
I'm here, with you, beside you,
To guard you and to guide you.

Say you love me every waking moment.
Turn my head with talk of summertime.
Say you need me with you now and always.
Promise me that all you say is true.
That's all, I ask of you.

Let me be your shelter.
Let me be your light.
You're safe, no one will find you.
Your fears are far behind you.

All I want is freedom,
A world with no more night.
And you always beside me,
To hold me and to hide me.

Then say you'll share with me one love, one lifetime.
Let me lead you from your solitude.
Say you want me with you here beside you.
Anywhere you go, let me go too.
That's all I ask of you.

Came to nothin' at all my love

Cliff Richard | And I Love Her | /c/cliff+richard/and+i+love+her_20248090.html | I give her all my love
That's all I do
And if you saw my love
You'd love her too
I love her
She gives me everything
And tenderly
The kiss my lover brings
She brings to me
And I love her
A love like ours
Could never die
As long as I have you near me
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her

Cliff Richard | Bachelor Boy | /c/cliff+richard/bachelor+boy_20032076.html | When I was young my father said
'Son I have something to say'
And what he told me I'll never forget
Until my dying days
[Chorus:]
He said son you are a bachelor boy
And that's the way to stay
Son you'll be a bachelor boy
Until your dying days
When I was 16 I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as can be
But I remembered just in time
What my daddy said to me
[Chorus]
As time goes by I probably will
Meet a girl and fall in love
Then I'll get married have a wife and a child
And they'll be my turtle doves
But until then I'll be a bachelor boy
And that's the way I'll stay
Happy to be a bachelor boy
Until my dying days

Cliff Richard | Better Than I Know Myself | /c/cliff+richard/better+than+i+know+myself_20032081.html | You were there - at the moment I began
When the child became a man
Saw my future in the making - saw the path my life was taking
You saw a million things I'll never understand
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you
You are here so let it rain or let it shine
You are with me all the time
When I'm waking - when I'm sleeping
In the secret thoughts I'm keeping
You know everything about this heart of mine
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you
You'll be there - when the end of time has come
And I know you'll take me home
So I thank you for tomorrow
All my joys and all my sorrows
And I thank you for the greatest thing I've known
You know me better than I know myself
Better than I know myself
Time after time you've shown it to be true
That no one loves me like you

Cliff Richard | Broken Doll | /c/cliff+richard/broken+doll_20032086.html | Ooh she's just a broken doll - she ain't no
Use at all - since you've been gone
Ooh she's just a broken toy - she's no ones
Pride and joy - look what you've done
You had her on a string
You made a fool of her
And that's an awful thing
She thought she'd paid her fare
Now you've gone and you just don't care
You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
You can't wind her up - although the key fits
You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
Someone's thrown away all the pieces
Now you've played your wicked game
Don't you feel no shame
Look what you've done!
Now she's just a broken girl while you're
All around the world - having your fun
She had you in her heart
You made a fool of her right from the very start
She thought she'd paid her fare
Now you've gone and you just don't care
You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
You can't wind her up - although the key fits
You can't wind her up - she's a broken doll
Someone's thrown away all the pieces
Ooh she's just a broken toy - she's no ones
Pride and joy - look what you've done
You had her on a string
You made a fool of her
And that's an awful thing
She thought she'd paid her fare
Now you've gone and you just don't care

Cliff Richard | Christmas Never Comes | /c/cliff+richard/christmas+never+comes_20032095.html | Talk about the heart of christmas,
Talk about the reason and the rhyme.
Talk about the sentimental feelings,
Talk about the candlelight and wine,
Talk about the children.
Listen to the voices singing.
Listen to the laughter as they play
But listen to the whisper of a heartbeat
Whose loneliness is never far away.
(chorus)
In some hearts it's never christmas,
But it's winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts it's always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.
Don't forget the winter's children,
Shadows on a star that never shines.
Looking for the love that never happened
Looking for the chris in christmas time.
The lonely voice,
That can't rejoice,
That has no choice.
(chorus)
In some hearts it's never christmas,
But it's winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts it's always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.
(chorus)
In some hearts it's never christmas,
But it's winter all the time.
All our lives spent waiting for the sun,
Children of tomorrow,
How they need a star to follow.
In some hearts it's always winter,
For some hearts it seems,
That christmas never comes.

Cliff Richard | Cities May Fall | /c/cliff+richard/cities+may+fall_20032096.html | The city in defeat,
With no one left to beat
There's still a fading desire
To burn a naked light
Just to defy the night
Come on and call me a liar
A crumble tumble down
In fumble bumble town
Our lives a ruin
We reconstruct a bit
And pretty up a bit
We hardly know what we're doing
[Chorus: ]
But me and my baby
Make the best of this world
She's like a diamond
Innocent girl
We watch the sign of the times
Writing on the wall, cities may fall
Back through the city fog
I was another cog
For the machinery there
Now the machines have gone
The silence hanging on
I sit, I stare
[Chorus: ]
Come on and take your aim
I feel the mildest pain
Protecting something so rare
'Cause there's a gem or two
Inside the human zoo
If only you are aware
[Chorus: ]

Cliff Richard | Clear Blue Skies | /c/cliff+richard/clear+blue+skies_20032097.html | I got you

Never cold
Never snow
Nobody nobody
Ever knows
I got you
I got you
I got you
I got you and clear blue skies
I see you and
I see you and
I see you and
I see you and clear blue skies
Keep me warm
Summer time
Nobody nobody
Be so kind
I got you
I got you
I got you
I got you and clear blue skies

Cliff Richard | Climbing Up Mount Everest | /c/cliff+richard/climbing+up+mount+everest_20032098.html | Out of time
Out of luck
Thought I was just dreamin
Then I woke up
You said it was over
The end of the line
I'm telling everybody I'm fine
But I'm just
Climbing up mount everest
I swear it's like
Crawling from here to Memphis
Knocked senseless, like
Digging a hole to china to find
You don't love me anymore
Night after night
I come home
Watch it on the news who else was overthrown
I don't understand it
As hard as I try
But I keep crossing over the great divide
And it's like
Climbing up mount everest
I swear it's like
Crawling from here to Memphis
Knocked senseless, like
Digging a hole to china to find
You don't love me anymore
Shine the light
Ring the bell
I guess you don't love me
Well, well
I'll go on
I'll survive
I don't know how but I'll try
Taken from "real as I want to be"-album leaflet by sunny

Cliff Richard | Congratulations | /c/cliff+richard/congratulations_20032099.html | Congratulations
And celebrations
When I tell everyone that you're in love
With me
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be.
Who could believe that I could be happy and
Contented
I used to think that happiness hadn't been
Invented
But that was in the bad old days before
I met you
When I let you
Walk into my heart
Congratulations
I was afraid that maybe you thought you
Were above me
That I was only fooling myself to think you
Loved me
But then tonight you said you couldn't live
Without me
That round about me
You wanted to stay
Congratulations
Congratulations
And jubilations
I want the world to know I'm happy as can be
I want the world to know
I'm happy as can be

Cliff Richard | Constantly | /c/cliff+richard/constantly_20032100.html | All day I'm walking in a dream
I think about you constantly
Just like an ever flowing stream
Your memory haunts me constantly
Shadows fall and I try to drive you from my mind
So you're no longer near to me
But my heart sees you there with me
Every sunset you share with me
The rain that patters through the trees reminds
Me of you constantly
Your name is whispered by the breeze and love birds
Bring your song to me
Just as sure as the stars keep burning
In the sky your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
Not only through the night
But constantly
Just as sure as each star keeps burning
In the sky your love will stay a flame in me
A flame that burns so bright
Not only through the night
But constantly
Though we may be far apart
You're constantly deep in my heart

Cliff Richard | 'cos I Love That Rock'n'roll | /c/cliff+richard/cos+i+love+that+rocknroll_20032064.html | Where has all that Rock'n'roll gone
Oh won't somebody tell me where?
Cause it used to be when I was young
That you could hear them playing it everywhere
But now it seems they're all so hooked on fashion
The music's taken second place
Everyone it seems has one obsession
To beat the others in the race
And it just don't feel right to me
No no it just don't feel right to me
Cause I love that Rock'n'roll too much
And I don't wanna see it ever waving goodbye
Yeah I love that Rock'n'roll too too much
And I couldn't bear to see it go by
Rock'n'roll you're too much to deny
Oh where has all that music gone
There must be some mistake
From something that was so much fun
They were burning bridges in their wake
O. K. Everything has got to keep changing
I know it has to be that way
But isn't it too high a price we're paying
We're losing most of yesterday
And it just don't feel right to me
