The Jam

The Jam were an English punk rock/New Wave/mod revival band active during the late 1970s and early 1980s. They were formed in Woking, Surrey. While they shared the "angry young men" outlook and fast tempos of their punk rock contemporaries, The Jam wore smartly tailored suits rather than ripped clothes, and they incorporated a number of mainstream 1960s rock and R&B influences rather than rejecting them, placing The Jam at the forefront of the mod revival movement. more »

I've got a pocket full of pretty green,
I'm gonna put it in the fruit machine,
I'm gonna put it in the jukebox,
It's gonna play all the records in the hit parade,

This is the pretty green, this is society
You can't do nothing, unless it's in the pocket

I've got a pocket full of pretty green
I'm gonna give it to the man behind the counter
He's gonna give me food and water,
I'm gonna eat that and look for more

And they didn't teach me that in school
It's something that I learnt on my own
That power is measured by the pound or the fist
It's as clear as this oh

I've got a pocket full of pretty green!
