The Clash - 1977 lyrics

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

Danger stranger ya' better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones

In 1977 knives in West 11
Ain't so lucky to be rich
Stun guns in Knightsbridge

In 1977 you're on the never never
You think it can't go on forever
But the papers say it's better

I don't care 'Cause 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
