One Emotion
(Strummer/Jones)

One emotion
It's all over the place
You let it get out
The crack in your face

One emotion
Crack of a shot
Everybody wants what the next guy's got

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Don't think I don't trust
People trample people on the daily bus

One emotion
Fighting through the night
And it can keep your curtains closed
When it gets light

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Moving through the town
Banging on the doors
And closing them down

One emotion
Boy meets girl
Smash and grab
It's that kind of world

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Moving out loud
Better get your weapon ready
Walking through the crowd

One emotion
Crack of a shot
Everybody wants what the next guy's got

One emotion
One emotion
All you ever know
Is your narrow life
One emotion

One emotion
Emotion

 

One More Dub
(The Clash)

Stop wastin' time
Right

One more breath

One more time in the ghetto
One more time if you please
One

One more time for the dying man
One more time if you please now

One more time

 

One More Time
(The Clash)

Must I get a witness? for all this misery
There's no need to, brothers everybody can see
That its one more time in the ghetto you know
One more time if you please now
One more time to the dying man
They say one more time if you please

The old lady kicks karate
For just a little walk down the street
The little baby he knows kung fu
He tries it on those he meets
Cos its a one more time!

You don't need no silicone to calculate poverty
Watch when Watts town burns again
The bus goes to Montgomery

Cos it's a one more time in the ghetto
One more time if you please
One more time for the dying man
One more time to be free

 

Overpowered by Funk
(The Clash)

If you ain't reggae for it..funk out!
No-one knocking at your door?
Overpowered by funk? Funk out!

Combatative, repetitive
Don't life just funk you out?
Asanine, stupifying
Can the clone line dry you out?

Part of the swarming mass? Funk out!
Slugged by the new increase?
Scared of the human bomb?
Overpowered by funk? Funk out!

Buy dog food
Rogue elephants
Tarzan on a ticker tape
Breakfast, serials?
You know you can't escape

Overpowered by funk
Don't you love our Western ways?
Car crashed by funk
Don't you love our Western ways?

Benny Goodman, trial by jury
A phone box-full of books
Dustcarts and sunrise
No-one gets off the hooks car crashed...
Food for the hungry millions? Funk out!
Home for the floating people?
Skin for the napalm victim?
Overdrunk on power
Funk out!

The final game will be solitaire
Overdrunk on power...funk out

Picture frame, tickets here
For the graffiti train
People at home show you care
Don't try
Fry me in your shockin' chairs
Funkpower over and out

This is a message from Futura
Don't prophisize the future
I liven up the culture
Because I'm deadly as a vulture
I paint on civilization
It's environmentally wack
So presenting my attack
I'll brighten up your shack
I'm down by law
That's a fact
Just give me a wall
Any building dull or tall
I spray clandestine night subway
I cover red purple on top of grey
Hey, no slashing cuz it ain't the way
The T.A. blew 40 mil they say
We thew down by night
They scrubbed it off by day
OK tourists

Police And Thieves
(Junior Murvin/Lee Perry)

Police and thieves in the streets
Oh yeah!
Scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition
Police and thieves in the street
Oh yeah!
Fighting the nation with their guns and ammunition

And all the crowd comes in day by day
No one stop it in anyway
And all the peacemaker turn war officer

Get out get out get out you people
If you don't wanna get blown up

Vocal ad lib

And the victim well he wont come back

Prisoner, The
(Strummer/Jones)

THE PRISONER MEETS THE MUPPET HI-FI
NORTH OF WATFORD JUNCTION
WE GET IN BUT WE DON'T HAVE FUN
AN' WE LEAVE BEFORE THE TRUNCHEONS
SO IT'S BACK TO WATCH THE DAY TO DAY
SAGA OF WORKING PEOPLE
HANGING OUT THE WASHING AND CLIPPING COUPONS
AND GENERALLY BEING DECENT

JOHNNY TOO BAD MEETS JOHNNY BE GOOD
IN THE CHARING CROSS ROAD
THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT HAPPENED TODAY
SAYS THE WEST END JUNGLE CODE
AND ALL THE GERMANS AND ALL THE FRENCH
JAM THEMSELVES DOWN THE TUBE
AND RE-ENACT THE SECOND WORLD WAR
WHILE THE RUDE BOYS GET RUDE!

AND I LOOK TO MY LEFT
AND I LOOK TO MY RIGHT
AND I'M LOOKING FOR A MAN
I'M LOOKING FOR A SIGN
I DON'T WANNA BE THE PRISONER

THE PRISONER LIVES IN CAMDEN TOWN
SELLING REVOLUTION
THE PRISONER LOADS HIS TRACKING ARM UP
WITH SELF-DISILLUSION
YOUR MOTHER DOES THE WASHING UP
YOUR OLD MAN DIGS THE GARDEN
YOU'RE ONLY FREE TO DODGE THE COPS
AN' BUNK THE TRAIN TO STARDOM

 

Protex Blue
(Strummer/Jones)

STANDING IN THE BOG OF A WEST END BAR
GUY ON THE RIGHT LEANING OVER TOO FAR
MONEY IN MY POCKET GONNA PUT IT IN THE SLOT
OPEN UP THE PACK SEE WHAT TYPE I GOT

I DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD YOU
I DIDN'T WANT TO USE YOU
PROTEX, PROTEX BLUE
ALL WANNA DO

IT'S A FAB PROTECTIVE FOR THAT TYPE OF A GIRL
BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT SHE USES IT WELL
IT'S THE THERAPEUTIC STRUCTURE I CAN USE AT WILL
BUT I DON'T THINK IT FITS MY B.D. DRILL

SITTING IN A CARRIAGE OF A BAKERLOO
EROTICA MY POCKET GOT A PACKET FOR YOU
ADVERT ON THE ESCALATOR ON MY WAY HOME
I DON'T NEED NO SKIN FLICKS, I WANNA BE ALONE

I DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD YOU
I DIDN'T WANT TO USE YOU
PROTEX, PROTEX BLUE
ALL I WANNA DO

JOHNNY, JOHNNY
