I can take all of your dreams
Transform the way you feel
Make life a little easier
For you to face your fears
As the evening starts to crawl
Dark shadows on the walls
Are dancing and inviting you
To come and taste it all

Yeah I said it's alright
I won't forget
All the times
I waited patiently for you
As you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight my dear

I tear into my clothes
Sacrifice my soul for anything, anything
I gotta clear this town
No sense in hanging around
Cause anything anything anything
Is better than this

Where can the action be

Bad time
You know I saw him in a movie with his leather on
Bad time
The fists were flying and the guns did roar
Bad time
You know I kinda liked the way he sung his cowboy songs
Bad time
But I can't listen to them anymore

Flickering, the shadows fall across my eyes
Across the walls
Time engulfs me once more
I'm in the place and I'm enthralled
This mists that creep, the hound that howls
The lightning illuminates the towers

Is it only I can see

I get a calling time of day
Beat a lot a lot of crime away
There's nothing baby I can't take
With that crime I'm gonna make your body ache

It's no kind of big deal
No carnegie steal
I don't feel like no heel

Can you taste the grit
Between your teeth
The heat of the lights
The crack of the whip
The snapping sound
Of someone's nerves
If you pay you get
What you deserve

Take my hand, discoman
Are you just a one night stand?
Have some fun, jump the gun
But what's left when it's all done

But who are you taking for a ride, discoman
Better to run or else to hide discoman, discoman

I say hello don't think that I don't know you're listening to me
But please don't bother me
Don't bother me

You bought this thing so I would sing about that awful nuclear thing
I hope won't bother me
Won't bother me

Won't you tell me the reason why
He goes out almost every night?
He never goes too far he's always
The one who's got it right

He's got charm
He's got style
He's got a dozen girls

I'm normal outside
He's evil inside
I'm Dr Jekyll and
He's Mr Hyde
I try to be true
He tries to be cruel
I'll hold you gently but
He'll smother you

Shadows fall in the places we used to play
My toys have all been packed away
The rocking horse rocks in its box
A spinning top and Corporal Clott
Are a dusty lot

Many times I said I'd drop you a line
I guess I'm just a rotten swine

Every night I'm there
I'm always there
She knows I'm there
And heaven knows
I hope she goes

(Eloise) I find it hard
To realize that love was in her eyes

Well, I'm craving for a cigarette, hey give me a light
Feeling kind of thirsty, give me something that bites
Sure been hanging 'round here for much too long
All you crazy people waiting for my song, I said
Well, here I am
I'm just another one-night stand
Anyway, I don't know why I'm sad
For my fan club

I know you're cold but I've seen it before
I'll take a chance on the wine
Your starched white lips introvenous she drips
In fear of turning blind
Hair to grey and some guys say
Shows you're shows you're growing old
Do it again I can't explain

Sensuality cloaked in chic silhouetted by the door

Honey begins to pour from a mouth to be adored

Just a taste and I want more


From your lips to my ears

big city all scratched out,revenge is not so sweet
once proud once so devout they're tired and they are weak
they came from east to west,counting up the cost
red star soon to arrive,they know that all is lost

(chorus :)

and only the wounded remain

Some resurrection is no conclusion
Some poor pretension but no invention
In the night they become, just what they want
One imitation just like Roger Moore
Please tell us what they say
They tell us what to do
They're only fooling me and you

Grimly fiendish
Plays the game that never pays
Sing out loud but never prayed


Grimly fiendish
Wears a coat thats black and long
He doesn't know that it's all wrong

Met on the dance floor of the palais de danse
Feelin' kinda lonely thought I'd take a chance
I never thought it would turn out like this
Another case of hit or miss

I gave you everything that money could buy
Things for your wardrobe things to get you high
I never wanted you to bring it back

Hey, Keith?
Yeah!
Outta my mind on a Saturday night
Nineteen-seventy-seven, babies
Rolling in sight
Radio's burnin' up above
Beautiful baby, be my love
Alright till I blow away

I Just Can't Be Happy Today
I Just Can't Be Happy Today

A lot of you know there's nothing to smile
There's no feeling fine without being fined
It's a price on your head
No point being sad when justice is red

twilight comes and the mood's complete
gonna hit the street grab some of that night time beat
my heart is beat beat beating ,like a drum
the night is in my veins we're gonna,have some fun tonight

chorus :

light the fuse i must ignite

Dear mother how I will write this line
When I know I'm counting time
I'm tired and I'm scared
I'm waiting and death's my friend

To say in God we trust not for this
Oh the death and glory boys not for this

Stand in a line like a parking meter
Am I all alone (he's all alone)
A vision of mine is becoming clear
Its all so new it can't be true
Sometimes the words appear in my head
Sometimes I'm falling out of my bed

Oh, is it a dream

Can you tell what's on my mind
She's with him it's driving me wild
I'd like to hit him on the head until he's dead
The sight of blood is such a high
Ooooohhhh
He gives me head

We made it on a Ballroom Blitz

Life goes on and on and on
If you think it's al gone wrong
Go on and on and on

Life's a con a con a con
If you think you can't go on
Go on and on and on

I'm gonna stay in bed all day
I'm not gonna hear a word you say
It's gonna be a life of style for me
Electric blankets, pillows, fire and TV

Take a look outside
Those lively arts are on the slide
And culture's just a bore

I know it
You know it
They know it
But I don't care
Communication breakdown
Is everywhere
Faster, faster
Thrill me baby, yeah

Ladies and gentlemen...how do.

Hey man, what's happening?

I'll be the ticket if you're my collector
I've charge the fare if you're my inspector
I'll be the luggage if you'll be the porter
I'll be the parcel if you'll be my sorter

They come to see the dungeons here
The tourists flock from far and near
They do the tower and try the beer

The picking pockets cost your life
And every jury has a price
They bring the kids and show the wife

Fellow Punk band The Damned were recording overdubs to their album Machine Gun Etiquette in the studio, and as they were old touring buddies of The Clash they roped Strummer and Mick Jones into record backing vocals for the title song to their album - the shouted lines of "second time around!" in that song are actually Strummer and Jones in uncredited cameos.

I remember what you said (second time around)
Don't you wish that we were dead (second time around)

No more getting pushed around (second time around)
Not that we've gone underground (second time around)

Melody lee, a broken man and a broken dream
It must have been a change of heart
Your life was cruel they called it art

Melody lee, you need a nuke to set you free
You know you can't cheat tomorrow
If you hide any sorrow

On a mission, blind ambition

Kick transmission into gear

Nothing sacred, set in stone

Take a leap to the unknown

Catch the tide at the blood
My TV screen is sick and blood
My walls and floors are it too
The night is comin’ after you

Cram the innocent with screams of pain
It coming for you again and again
There’s no escape

I've seen a light, haunting and bright
That won't give me any rest day and night
I heard a refrain it echoes your name.
I hear it again, again and again

And I cant let it go
Its madness I know
This feel that's churning and burning and tearing my soul

be a man, kinda mystery man,
be a doll,be a baby doll,
it can't be found not any way,
it can't be found no way at all

a distant man can't sympathise,
he can't uphold his distant laws,
due to form on that today,

be a man ,can a mystery man,
be a doll,be a baby doll,
it can't be fun not any way,
there can be found no way at all
a distant man can't sympathise,
can't uphold his distant laws,
due to form on that today,
i got a feeling then i hear that call,i said

Is she really going out with him?

I got a feeling inside of me
It's kind of strange like a stormy sea
I don't know why I don't know why
I guess these things have got to be

I gotta new rose I got her good

[Chorus]
Obscene
The scene
The dream
Obscene

Demi-gods on golden thrones
Spend most of their time all alone

She don't care about your miseries
There ain't nothing you can do
She's afraid of all your injuries
Just makes you look a fool
I guess you better fall for another girl
Before you fall from above
Well I guess you better find yourself another girl
'Cause all you got is a one way

She plays her mouth into a smile
And offers that he stay a while
Two hearts that beat as one
And eyes that hardly ever saw the sun
Hollywood babbles on

She lays a wreath of lilies on his grave
His flame gone along with the love he never gave

Stealin' cars lost in bars
Treating hard-to-be's like superstars
I want to come home at 3AM
I love my records
Alright and I'm going to play 'em

Problem child, problem child
We think you live much too wild

Psychomania, Psychomania

She is the substance of my dreams
A spectre in the wind
Take my dare, take me there
On the trail of the jewel trail

If you've got a notion

The autumn leaves burning red
With the last light of the sun
The day is almost over
The day is almost done
Perhaps tonight I'll sit and watch
The stars come out
Their liquid hazy light
Holding time still

In the west wing

The rattle of chains begins

Moonlight streaming into

The turreted rooms windows

I know it's late and I should goto bed
But I can't tear away from the night
It holds the seed of a memory
Its true of you

When I first saw you I realised
The fire burned deep inside your eyes
I knew a kiss would paralyse

Don't be afraid to stand in the shadow of love
The hour is late and you know that time waits for no-one
See the glow of the soul in her face
Then you know that you're caught in the shadow of love

A brief embrace and fear and restraint have all gone
Innocence burns, -yes a fire that burned all along
See the doors about to swing both ways

She knows - about all the evil in this world
She knows - what blackness lurks in our souls
She parts her lips and gives me a literary quip
Sharper and sweeter than any cat-o-nine tails whip

She makes me feel like a king
She is the reasoning that makes life swing

We've been crying now for much too long
And now we're gonna dance to a different song
I'm gonna scream and shout til my dying breath
I'm gonna smash it up til theres nothing left

Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up
Oooh ooh smash it up, smash it up, smash it up

I get up and save the world
And though it may be a game
I know it may sound absurd
But I dig the challenge

Gotta hit the sites
Because I'm always surfin', always surfin'
Surfin' for my life

Did you ever see a man turned inside out
He can come and go without a sound
They say ok when they turn you down
'Cause someones always smiling when they really frown

You turf me out can't keep me down
'Cause I'm a stranger on the town
Don't put me down

If you can't sleep tonight
And if a fever grips you tight
There's a place we must explore
Open wide the door

We may be the haunted men
But we will hold our heads up when
We're walking down the street of dreams

Well I'm just a poor guy
Been thrown out on the street
My hair's a mess and my clothes
Well they sure ain't neat
Yeah listen to my warning
Yeah listen to me now
Those short changed mean people
You're feeble and fat

Standing around trying to get her somewhere
Whatcha gonna do?
Tried and I can't speak
Gets you nowhere
Looking for a scheme

Ah, teenage dream
Ah, teenage dream

She wanders alone through the night
A child with eyes burning bright
She extends her arms for an embrace a tiny smile
Her ruby lips on her doll like face

The danger's a mystery here
As she invites you to hold her near
Her mirrored image could not be linked to

Dead asleep the city dreams

Holding up it’s arms like limbs of steel

Mountains rise like mounds of sand

The boiling sea has swallowed up the land

She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
I first saw her down in market street
Wondered where'd she go
The girl went down down
To where I don't know
I just don't know
I just don't know

I'm invisible, the Invisible Man

I'm invisible, the Invisible Man



I walk into the room

Black night
All still
Stealth calls
Cold kill
Night gloves
Black gown
Job done
Quit town

High above as in the clouds
They swing so slowly
To the wire showing no fear
They step so boldly
Gently faster
Building in momentum
Until success or disaster
Befalls the master

Under the floor again
Once I was up and in the air but now I'm down
Goodbye to all my friends
Forget I ever was the mole goes underground

Under the floor again
Eight years of hide and seek no peek of me is seen
I skip the law again

You could spend your time
In a darkened room
Just to gather folks opinions
Can you stand the heat?
Can you wrong the rights
And I love you, thanks a million

And if there's a god

Don't you ask me to come out
When the sun does shine
Let us stay here with curtains drawn
In darkness you'll be mine

Let's wait for the blackout
The light is too bright
Let's wait for the blackout

Through tempest and storms I ride alone

Searching for a dream so darkly enchanted

Fixing my eyes on the distant horizon

Fear's not the key that motivates my finger

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all

Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall

You used to be brave

You used to be strong

So many stories sung in your song
