The Clash - Living in Fame lyrics
[The Clash - Living in Fame lyrics]
So you've got to live up to your name
Or else I'll put you to shame, listen
If you say you a selector
You a fe have good selection
A-and I say if you say you a the special
Man, I say I want to know your potential
You a say you a madness
You a say you a the best
But when I put you upon you feet
A-some a-some a say you can't play de beat
And I hear you say a Clash a you ruler
Say a Clash sound cooler, eh
Say a Clash sound sweeter
And now-a days man a measure mile in a meter
Eh
Live up to your name
Or else you die in shame
A-and a so me say fe live up to your name
A so me tell you say you die in shame
Some a dem a bodysnatcher
Some a dem a barracuda, eh
But who a know fe me Jah Jah
Fe me Jah a me creator, eh
Flying saucers, rock-and-roll
Natty Dread a fe be in control
It's all in the whirlwind
I say you've gone with the blockhead
A-and I say me say that some
A dem a Sex Pistol nipple erectors
A so me tell you set dem sp man a gone
An farm
And I'll tell you about the X-generation
Me know dem a victimed
Because dem no know fe me sweet Jah Jah, eh
Clash a you ruler say a Clash sound cooler
A-and I tell you say a Clash sound sweeter
And now-a days man measure mile in a meter
A none a dem deh measure gallon in a litre
And I tell you say me know them a cheat you
Because when you living in a fame
You got to live up to your name
Or else a suffer and you die in a shame
And I tell you say it's all in the game, eh
Some a say them a selector
Dem a fe have good selection
Or else deh moving in the wrong direction
And they no know this a reggae vibration
A-and a so me say a Clash a you ruler
And dis you one a say it a musically cooler
Eh me say we live up to your name
Or else you suffer and you die in a shame
Because when you living in a fame
A so me tell you say it's all in the game
And so me talking about
Specials and madness beats
Big body snatcher, , eh
Flying saucers, rock-and-roll
See you gone in the whirlwind
A-and I tell you say, a you a the blockhead
And some will tell you that
You dreader than dread
When you living in a fame
You got to live up to your name
Or else you suffer and you die in a shame
It's all in the game, eh
This is the game of life
We no want no strife game of life
We no want no strife, no no
Don't, no no no no
Fucking hell Mikey
Or else I'll put you to shame, listen
If you say you a selector
You a fe have good selection
A-and I say if you say you a the special
Man, I say I want to know your potential
You a say you a madness
You a say you a the best
But when I put you upon you feet
A-some a-some a say you can't play de beat
And I hear you say a Clash a you ruler
