The Clash - Lightning Strikes (Not Once But Twice) слова песни
Now lightning strikes in oldNew YorkIt may be dark but I wanna talkIt might rain, it might snowToo many things I got to knowIf this is spring than it`s time to singNever mind the l`il birdies wingLook out, look out, old New YorkNew York`s coming an` New York talksHey! Strike! Not once...Strike! But twice!Get out your money - peel a slabRoll some notes an` hail a cabDrive in church drive in backDrive down Seventh in a tankTake in the sights, feel the breezeSee New York`s one and only treeIt can be found in Garbage parkBut don`t inspect it after darkStrike! New York! Lightning!Not once but twice.Accidental hike in the transit strikeRoller skate or ride a bikeThree to a car, Brooklyn BridgeYou won`t get far if you`re privilegedGraffiti Jack sprays in blackAn Englishman can he read it back?Deli Joe he ought to knowHe runs the gang on Pastrami RowStrike! Lightning strike!Because glass to glass, street to streetBuildings touch St. Peter`s feetFrom car to bar, prez to shahEverything is in the jarThe 4 winds blow cos the 4 winds knowTakes a special hustle to make a rollHoney girl on her feetI wish everything to make her sweetStrike! Twice! OK so roll!From Harlem! Strike one!Harlem slum to penthouse blockOn every door I already knockedThere wasn`t anybody that I didn`t leave aloneSomebody lying under every stoneEverything that a man could needIn a bag down by my kneeThat looks good, this ain`t got seedsCheaper than booze down in the boweryLightning strike! Old New York!Everything`s light! Strike!Hey ho such a nightI`ll see y`all when the lightning strikeA polaroid caught in the actYou`re married too and that`s a factBut I won`t peek and I won`t squeekDown by the trucks on Christopher StreetIt`s Cuban Day - Oi VeyChinese New Year let`s call it a dayTootsie! Hey Chi man!That melody is Puerto RicanHey Chi man is what he`s speakingAn` there`s the road down into London TownWhere many cars get broken downIt`s the Westway from Ladbroke GroveRuns down to Old HounslowJust thought I`d mention the new extentionThat run`s down the 59th street intersectionDid you hear the news y`all?London Town on the Broadway!
