Secret Agent Man Lyrics by Joe Strummer

Joe Strummer 002: The Mescaleros Years

0

[Intro]
Secret agent
Secret agent
[Verse 1]
There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets, he stays a stranger
Oh, with every move he makes
Another chance he takes
[Refrain]
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
Oh, well, they've given you a number and taken away your name
[Verse 2]
Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Oh, be careful what you say
Or you will give yourself away
[Refrain]
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
Oh, they've given you a number and taken away your name
[Bridge]
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
Secret agent
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
Oh, they've given you a number and taken away your name
[Verse 3]
Swingin' on the Riviera one day
Layin' in the Bombay alley next day
Oh, well, you let the wrong word slip
Slobberin' on persuasive lips
[Refrain]
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow
[Chorus]
Secret agent man, secret agent man
Oh, well, they've given you a number and taken away your name
Secret agent man, secret agent man
Oh, well, they've given you a number and taken away your name
Oh, well, they've given you a number and taken away your name
And taken away your name
Taken away your name
And taken away your name
