Shut up and pay your respects

Can't find the extended mix.It's much better than this one.

:

I love the lyrics

''Tonight they're closing up the world
They're sweepin' smoke from cigarettes
But what is this funky multi-national anthem
Rockin' from a thousand King Kong cassette decks?
And then a shyboy from Missouri
Boots blown off in a '60s war
Riding aluminum crutches
Now he knows the welfare kindness
Agent Orange color blindness
As he works from door to door
The violence in the carpets
The arrow of his wife
(In a car jam)...........''

Excellent original sound from that band. Ground breaking music for their time.



When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
BORN under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick out your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
And even shoot us
But oh- the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton

Steve Earle, a genius with 'Billy Austin' and 'Goodbye', equally brilliant songs from a proper singer/writer.

Have to start charging you for this soon mate

Don't worry though, the good tunes cancel out the charge

Nay bother

I'm listening to a couple of my favourite tunes from Blue Lines.

My favourite version of this tune from Skunk Anansie.
