  • She's bugging me again, run to use the phone
    Find and rent a hitman from the twilight zone

    It was good in the beginning, the wife's become a drag
    Found me a solution in Adventure Mag
    Five sees as downpayment, it's just a call away
    Cheaper than some legal fees and they do the job today

    So if you got a problem, pick up the telephone
    For the guns and glory cowboys from the twilight zone
    At the Continental Club, there's no extras for striptease
    We're the gang that couldn't shoot straight but we aim to please

    Viet vets and drifters shell shocked from the hill
    At the Continental Doc Savage pays the bill
    Yeah soldiers of fortune but we're not mental giants
    But mister I must tell you, neither are our clients

    So if you got a problem, pick up the telephone
    For the guns and glory cowboys from the twilight zone
    At the Continental Club, there's no extras for striptease
    We're the gang that couldn't shoot straight but we aim to please

    Did a job in Georgia, money in advance
    Fingers through the post with chilling nonchalanche
    I've seen some civil war now, for the cash we took their lives
    Back here on the homestead rich on peoples wives

    We're eighties bounty hunters with comical ineptitude
    Modern cowboy cadres, guns and glory dudes

    So if you got a problem, pick up the telephone
    For the guns and glory cowboys from the twilight zone
    At the Continental Club, there's no extras for striptease
    We're the gang that couldn't shoot straight but we aim to please Writer/s: Don Letts, Joe Strummer, Michael Geoffrey Jones
