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. Many of the band members were multi-instrumentalists. The original line up consisted of Strummer on vocals and guitar, Antony Genn on guitar, Scott Shields on bass, guitar and drums, Martin Slattery on keyboards and guitar, as well as flute and saxophone on select songs, Pablo Cook on various percussion instruments and Steve Barnard on drums, using his stage moniker "Smiley".

Late news breakin', this just in
Tonight there was a power cut in the city of madness 
And all conversations died in the burst of a solar flare 
In the darkness an angel won the beauty pageant 
Stroboscopic snowflakes fell from the stratosphere
And all the neon blew down funky Broadway 
And shorted out the eastern shore 
Only saxophones and beach trombones 
Were left to shout out
"We all need a little more"

I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun 
Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun
Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
We're waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun
Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun
Has anybody seen the morning sun

I'm lost in a world beyond the lost city
I'm looking for a phone and I cant find one 
Gotta Tony Bennett eight track in the hotel, pity 
The moon turned around and shot someone 
I'm lost in a Mack truck, Jack, in the city of words 
Only dead men stomp on the brake pedals in the city of nerves
Sow me some reaps, Jack, I'm dead on the heap 
Show me some glycerin, Mac, downhill is so steep 

I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun 
Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun
Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
We're waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun
Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun
Has anybody seen the morning sun?

Late news breakin', this just in
Late news breakin', this just in

The whole city is a debris of broken heels and party hats
I'm standing on the corner that's on a fold on the map 
I lost my friends at the deportee station 
I'll take immigration into any nation 

I'm waiting for the rays of the morning sun 
Somebody tell me clearly, has the new world begun
Let all the wailing wail, let the drummer drum
Waiting for the rays of the morning sun, hey, the morning sun
Whoa, oh, the morning sun, hey, hey, the morning sun
Has anybody seen the morning sun?
Has the new world begun?

Has the new world begun?

(Who is that screaming in Lunar Park, in Lunar Park)
(If they make Tony Adams captain)
(Let's all go screaming in the Park)
(I say yes, oh, yes, I'm going screaming in Lunar Park)
(Check it out, check it out)
(Check it out, yeah, check it out)
(Check it out, check it out)
