The Clash - 1977 (Beaconsfield Film School session) lyrics

In 1977 i hope I go to heaven
I been too long on the dole
And I can't work at all

Danger stranger you better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones

In 1977 knives in West 11
Ain't so lucky to be rich
Sten-guns in Knightsbridge danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones

In 1977 you're on the never never
You think it can go on forever
But the papers say it's better
I don't care 'cos I'm not all there
No Elvis, Beatles or The Rolling Stones

In 1977 sod the Jubilee in 1978 in 1979
Stayed in bed in 1980


In 1981 the toilet don't work
In 1982 in 1983 here come the police in 1984
