The Clash - Julie’s Been Working for the Drug Squad lyrics
[The Clash - Julie’s Been Working for the Drug Squad lyrics]
It's Lucy in the sky and
All kinds of apple pie
She giggles at the screen because
It looks so green
There's carpets on the pavements and
Feathers in her eye but sooner or later
Her new friend will realize
That Julie's been working for the drug squad
Julie's been working for the drug squad
She will even look you in the eye!
Well it seemed like a dream
Too good to be true
Stash it in the bank while the
Tablets grow high in their millions
And everybody's high-igh-igh (Hi! Man)
But there's someone looking down
From that mountainside
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad come On!
Ten years for you, nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're alive, oh alive
Don't get a life, oh alive, oh
And then there came the night
Of the greatest ever raid
They arrested every drug that
Had ever been made they took eighty-two laws
Through eighty-two doors
And they didn't halt the pull till
The cells were all full
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad come On!
They put him in a cell, they said
"You wait here"
You've got the time to count
All of your hair you've got fifteen years
It's mighty long time
You could have been a physicist
But now your name is on the mailbag list
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad come On!
Ten years for you, nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're alive, oh alive
Don't get a life, oh alive, oh
"You're fair shouldn't stay alone!"
All kinds of apple pie
She giggles at the screen because
It looks so green
There's carpets on the pavements and
Feathers in her eye but sooner or later
Her new friend will realize
That Julie's been working for the drug squad
Julie's been working for the drug squad
She will even look you in the eye!
Well it seemed like a dream
Too good to be true
Stash it in the bank while the
Tablets grow high in their millions
And everybody's high-igh-igh (Hi! Man)
But there's someone looking down
From that mountainside
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad come On!
Ten years for you, nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're alive, oh alive
Don't get a life, oh alive, oh
And then there came the night
Of the greatest ever raid
They arrested every drug that
Had ever been made they took eighty-two laws
Through eighty-two doors
And they didn't halt the pull till
The cells were all full
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad come On!
They put him in a cell, they said
"You wait here"
You've got the time to count
All of your hair you've got fifteen years

But now your name is on the mailbag list
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad
'Cause Julie's been working for
The drug squad come On!
Ten years for you, nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're alive, oh alive
Don't get a life, oh alive, oh
"You're fair shouldn't stay alone!"
