The Clash

The Clash were an English punk rock band that formed in 1976 as part of the original wave of British punk. Along with punk, their music incorporated elements of reggae, ska, dub, funk, rap, dance, and rockabilly. For most of their recording career, the Clash consisted of Joe Strummer (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Mick Jones (lead guitar, vocals), Paul Simonon (bass guitar, vocals) and Nicky "Topper" Headon (drums, percussion). Headon left the group in 1982, and internal friction led to Jones's departure the following year. The group continued with new members, but finally disbanded in early 1986. more »

Shout, everybody shout: hey waiter!
I want in, I want out, hey jailer!
Run, walk this way,  that way, buy a paper
Or reach easy down on your knees, for later

Go cat go! That message you run
Is gonna be a make-or-breaker zoom zoom!
Now I am a one man survey team from Labour
I am studying you city types' behaviour
Hey girl, this opinion poll, you can't wait
Huh?
Perhaps I'll flee my bench to chase her
Go cat go! In bitching hour
Go grab your wings to chase her
You've sold your time but I still got mine
I'm from the spare part pile, wanna see my
Licence to kill time?
The shows tonight will close tonight
See you later the efficient sweep will wash
The streets safer
From the rush-hour crush to the
Empty square I'll wait here
And the b-line c-line
D-line three-line breaker

Go cat go! In the spillage hour
Everybody's going as if they'll get
There later - yep!
You've sold your time but I still got mine
I'm from the spare part pile, wanna see my
Licence to kill time?

Kill time dali melts it
Arnie Pauly to be an agitator
Arnie Pauly and someone's left the paper
Arnie Pauly to be an agitator
Arnie Pauly, Pauly
Someone's left their paper
Shout, everybody shout: hey waiter!
I want in, I want out, hey jailer!
Run, walk this way, that way, buy a paper
Or reach easy down on your knees, for later
And the b-line c-line a-line free-line
Hard-line best-line left-line
Fine-line breaker
