  • Between cool confusion
    And kung fu in the car park
    Could the weekend be losing
    That reactive spark

    Even in the shebeen
    Or down in the meat rack
    Longtime I feel cold
    To send Cinderella's shoe back

    Along the length of the wire
    Party jam on the line
    I can't hear a thing
    Can't get no number nine

    Now we must get in touch
    If the night is to burn
    Someone out there in luck
    Lend me your star for a turn

    As heroes fix their hair
    Some are saving their breath
    Just on the walkways tonight
    For a glue bag death

    Screens flick in unison
    Some gaze at the soul
    From the tiers and the heights
    Go for the fifteenth floor stroll

    It's immediately obvious;
    Anybody star-gilt
    Would have left this club
    Way before it was built

    This strikes you so late
    As the guy with the broom
    Sweeps you and the bottles
    Right out of the room

    Now I wash in the factory
    Confess in the tile house
    I don't need to bleed anybody
    To strike out

    Today my godfather
    He sent a note from the jail
    Said go get 'em kid
    But don't get chained to the rail

    Between cool confusion
    And kung fu in the car park
    Could the weekend be losing
    That romantic spark

    Even in the shebeen
    Or down in the meat rack
    Long time I feel cold
    To send Cinderella's shoe back Writer/s: JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES, PAUL SIMONON, TOPPER HEADON
