The Equaliser

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

No! Gangboss no!
We don’t want the whip!

As you get weaker – it will get harder
So don’t be like him
Keep your bones of effort and strngth
Don’t sell them to him

We don’t want no gangboss
We want to equalize
To my fathers fathers fathers father
Work was no joy
When his son had grown...

Garageland

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

(Strummer/Jones)

Back in the garage with my bullshit detector
Carbon monoxide making sure it’s effective
People ringing up making offers for my life
But I just wanna stay in the garage all night

We’re a garage band
We come from garageland

Meanwhile things are hotting up in the West End alright
Contracts...

Friday, January 28th, 2011

(Strummer/Jones)

STANDING IN A QUEUE OF A SCHOOL CANTEEN
GUYS ON THE CORNER THEY WERE LAUGHIN’ AT ME
BUT I DON’T MIND IF THEY SEE IT ALL

MY MIND DON’T NEED IT BUT MY BODY DO
A LITTLE BIT OF LOVING AND ATTENTION FOR YOU
ALTHOUGH...

Car Jamming

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

Tonight they’re closing up the world
N’ sweeping smoke from cigarettes
And what is that funky multi-national
Anthem rocking from a thousand
King Kong cassette decks
Then this shyboy from Missouri
Boots blown off in a ’60s war
Riding aluminium crutches
Now he knows the welfare kindness n’
Agent...

Fingerpoppin’

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

(Strummer/Rhodes)

This here finger of mine
Is gonna point to the beat, right on time
This finger points in a brand new dance
This finger points for a new romance

This here finger’s got no ring
It’ll point at anything
This finger points gonna pop tonight
Gonna point at the best girl in sight

Don’t...

Radio Clash

Monday, September 20th, 2010

This is Radio Clash
Stealing all transmissions
Beaming from the mountaintop
Using aural ammunition

With extreme prejudice
On a terminator mission
This is Radio Clash
Consider your position

Step it up, get down low

Breaking news flash
Assassination
The whole country has been shot

Evil will abate

(Strummer/Jones)

DENY
YOU’RE SUCH A LIAR
YOU WON’T KNOW THE TRUTH IF IT HITS YOU IN THE EYE
DENY
YOU’RE SUCH A LIAR
YOU’RE SELLING YOUR NO-NO ALL THE TIME

AN’ YOU SAID WE WERE GOING OUT
TO THE 100 CLUB
THEN YOU SAID IT AIN’T MY SCENE
BUT THEN YOU TURNED UP ALONE
THEN...

TOMMY GUN
YOU AIN’T HAPPY LESS YOU GOT ONE
TOMMY GUN

JUST FOR FUN
MAYBE HE WANTS TO DIE FOR THE MONEY
MAYBE HE WANTS TO KILL FOR HIS COUNTRY
WHATEVER HE WANTS, HE’S GONNA GET IT!
