Joe Strummer & the Mescaleros

The Mescaleros were the British backing band for British singer, musician and songwriter Joe Strummer, formed in 1999, which issued three albums prior to Strummer's death in 2002.

I took a tram into the fourth dimension
'Cause I had the blues, the blues of throwing it all away
Just gimme a Tequila, I'll slam it the 4-D way
And when I got there you know it had certain similarities

Like no smoking anywhere
And hiding in the khazi to avoid paying the fare
4-D Tequila anyone
And don't think we didn't dance to records by the Fifth Dimension
In the disco sphere like Kublai Khan, Kublai Khan

And it was pretty goddam hazardous
Out on the Illminster by-pass, out on the Illminster by-pass
Out on the Illminster by-pass, out on the Illminster by-pass
Aqua-planing to the theme park
We took a ride called the Banchoff-Klein mega bottle ride
Well, how we spewed inside, back and forth
In time, mathematics and pride, inside

We've gone Balkan, we've gone Balkan anyway
It absolutely had to happen to someone today
Yeah, there's no smoking anywhere, throw it all away
Yeah, we've gone Balkan anyway, you can get rid of the blues this way
Yeah, that's how we fix the blues today
It absolutely had to happen to someone today
Yeah, there's no smoking anywhere, throw it all away
Yeah, we've gone Balkan anyway, you can get rid of the blues this way
Yeah, that's how we fix the blues today, throw it all away
And its time to be doing something good
