Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Arms Aloft lyrics

rate me

Sometimes there’s no star shining<br />

Scounting the edge of the universe<br />

Sometimes you can’t see the horizon<br />

Between the ocean and the earth<br />

<br />

And just when you’re thinking about slinkin’ down<br />

I’m gonna pull you up – I’m gonna pull ya round<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

The spirit is our gasoline<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

Let a million mirror balls beam<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

<br />

And you say ‘living ain’t nothing but hassles’<br />

In a Manilla envelope rain<br />

And driving coal all-night to Newcastle<br />

It’s getting to be a repettetive strain<br />

And just when you’re thinking about<br />

Going down the drain …<br />

<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

The spirit is our gasoline<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

Let a million mirror balls beam<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

<br />

I’m gonna pull you up – I’m gonna pull ya round<br />

<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

The spirit is our gasoline<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen<br />

<br />

Let a million mirror balls beam<br />

The spirit is our gasoline<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen<br />

<br />

They say the stars can’t see their rays<br />

Nor can they count their numbered days<br />

No flower can says what perfume is<br />

We got all this and bird and diz<br />

May I remind you of that scene<br />

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen<br />

<br />

May I remind you of that scene
