The Clash - 1977 Lyrics

In 1977 I hope I go to heaven
'Cause 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
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
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
