The Street Parade

Album: Sandinista! (1980)

  • When I was waiting for your phone call
    The one that never came
    Like a man about to burst
    I was dying of thirst

    Though I will never fade
    Or get lost in this daze
    Though I will disappear
    Into the street parade

    It's not too hard to cry
    In these crying times
    I'll take a broken heart
    And take it home in parts
    But I will never fade

    I was in this place
    By the first church of the city
    I saw tears on the face
    The face of a visionary

    Though I will disappear
    To join the street parade
    Disappear and fade
    Into the street parade Writer/s: JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES
