The Clash - 48 Hours lyrics

Friday or Saturday, what does that mean?
Short space of time and needs a heavy scene
Monday is comin' like a jail on wheels

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs a-forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills, forty-eight thrills

So tell me, and I'll take the tube
You know a girl, yeah, well
She's bound to be rude
Can't a-get a nothin' at
The places I've been

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs a-forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills, thrills

I've combed this town from top to bottom


Try to get around but my legs are broken
Every time I miss it 'cause
I ain't got a ticket

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Thrills, forty-eight thrills cheap thrills
And he got thrills kickin' for kicks

Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight thrills
