Me Without You movie - (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais lyrics

rate me

Song by The Clash<br /><br>

Midnight to six man<br>

For the first time from Jamaica<br>

Dillinger and Leroy Smart<br>

Delroy Wilson, your cool operator<br>

<br>

Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae<br>

With backing bands sound systems<br>

And if they've got anything to say<br>

There's many black ears here to listen<br>

<br>

But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right<br>

Charging from the bass knives to the treble<br>

But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel<br>

Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel<br>

<br>

Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack<br>

'Cos it won't get you anywhere<br>

Fooling with your guns<br>

The British Army is waiting out there<br>

An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons<br>

<br>

White youth, black youth<br>

Better find another solution<br>

Why not phone up Robin Hood<br>

And ask him for some wealth distribution<br>

<br>

Punk rockers in the UK<br>

They won't notice anyway<br>

They're all too busy fighting<br>

For a good place under the lighting<br>

<br>

The new groups are not concerned<br>

With what there is to be learned<br>

They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny<br>

Turning rebellion into money<br>

<br>

All over people changing their votes<br>

Along with their overcoats<br>

If Adolf Hitler flew in today<br>

They'd send a limousine anyway<br>

<br>

I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf<br>

Who looks so sick in the sun<br>

I'm the white man in the Palais<br>

Just lookin' for fun<br>

<br>

I'm only<br>

Looking for fun<br>

<br>
