She was colorfully silent and calm, when I looked in her eyes
We were talking 'bout deserts and dreams, we learnt to get high

Standing in the alpha beta parking lot
Watching the sun set
I'll never forget
Watching all the reds and oranges slip away
Letting go of yet another dirty day

(strummer/jones)

Everybody's looking for last gang in town
You better watch out for they're all comin' around

The sport of today is exciting

They are beaten
You'd feel danger there

(repeats throughout)
Through the edged are beaten
You'd feel danger there

(whispered)

She married the one i love today
When my back was turned she took him away
Now while they're all outside, waiting to throw rice
What i want to throw will surely black her eyes

I'm a glum one
It's explainable
I met someone
Unattainable
Life's a bore
The world is my oyster no more
All the papers
Where i lead the news
With my capers

Some boys with warm beds and cold, cold hearts
Can make you feel nothing at all
They'll never remember and they'll never mind
If you're counting the cracks in the wall

Well he's daddy's little boy he plays with his toys
He holds on to his daddy's hand
His daddy says sonny you're a big strong boy
You're gonna be a big strong man

Hold my head
We'll trampoline
Finally through the roof
On to somewhere near
And far in time
Velouria
Her covering
Travelling career
She can really move

You consider me the young apprentice
Caught between the scylla and charibdes
Hypnotized by you if I should linger
Staring at the ring around your finger
