Clash - Hitsville U. K. Lyrics
They cried the tears, they shed the fears,Up and down the land,They stole guitars or used guitars- so the tape would understand,Without even the slightest hope of a 1000 salesJust as if, as if there was, a hitsville in u.k.,I know the boy was all alone, til the hitsville hit u.k.They say true talent will allways emerge in time,When lightening hits small wonder -Its fast rough factory trade,No expense accounts, or lunch discountsOr hypeing up the charts,The band went in, n knocked em dead, in 2 min. 59- no slimy deals, with smarmy eels - in hitsville u.k.Lets shaken say, well operate - in hitsville u.k.The mutants, creeps and musclemen,Are shaking like a leaf,It blows a hole in the radio,When it hasnt sounded good all week,A miken boom, in your living room - in hitsville u.k.No consumer trials, or a.o.r., in hitsville u.k.,Now the boys and girls are not alone,Now the hitsvilles hit u.k.
