1977 Lyrics by The Clash

Super Black Market Clash

1977

[Vese 1]
In 1977
I hope I go to heaven
I'm too long on the dole
And I can't work at all

[Chorus]
Danger stranger
Ya better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones

[Verse 2]
In 1977
Knives in West 11
Ain't so lucky to be rich
Stungun in Knightsbridge

[Chorus]
Danger stranger
Ya better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones
For here, for never [?]

[Verse 3]
In 1977
You're on the never-never
You think it can't go on forever
But the papers say it's better

[Chorus]
I don't care
'Cause I'm not all there
No Elvis, Beatles, or the Rolling Stones

[Outro]
In 1977 (Sod the Jubilee)
In 1978
In 1979 (I stayed in bed)
In 1980
In 1981 (The toilet don't work)
In 1982
In 1983 (Here come the police)
In 1984
