Jimi Hendrix - Jammin' lyrics

A police car and a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing and a stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and
Lamp lights blinking

That's entertainment that's entertainment

A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry
Of a tom cat
Lights going out and a kick in the balls

Days of speed and slow-time Mondays
Pissing down with rain on a boring Wednesday
Watching the news and not eating your tea
A freezing cold flat with damp on the walls

Waking up at 6 am on a cool warm morning
Opening the window and breathing in petrol


An amateur band rehearsing in a nearby yard
Watching the television and thinking
About your holidays

Waking up from bad dreams
And smoking cigarettes
Cuddling a warm girl and
Smelling stale perfume
A hot summer's day and sticky black tarmac
Feeding ducks in the park and
Wishing you were far away

Two lovers kissing at the scream of midnight
Two lovers missing the
Tranquility of solitude
Getting a cab and travelling on buses
Reading the graffiti about
Slashed seat affairs
