Artist:The Clash Track: (White Man) in Hammersmith Palais
Lyrics
One, two One, two, three, four
Midnight to six man For the first time from Jamaica Dillinger and leroy smart Delroy wilson, your cool operator
Ken boothe for UK pop reggae With backing bands sound systems If they've got anything to say There's many black ears here to listen
But it was four tops all night with encores from stage righten (wooh, ooh, ooh) Charging from the bass knives to the treble (wooh, ooh, ooh) But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel (wooh, ooh, ooh) Onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack 'Cos it won't get you anywhere Fooling with the gun The british army is waiting out there An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth Better find another solution Why not phone up robin hood And ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk rockers in the UK They won't notice anyway They're all too busy fighting For a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned With what there is to be learned They got burton suits, huh, you think it's funny Turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes Along with their overcoats If Adolf Hitler flew in today They'd send a limousine anyway
I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf Who looks so sick in the sun I'm the white man in the palais Just loo- lookin' for fun Only lookin' for fun
Oh, please mister Just leave me alone I'm only Lookin' for fun Lookin' for fun F, U, N
