Clash - Capital Radio lyrics
About a year ago, yeah, about a year ago right, and I (Wait, ready)
When I saw The Pistols, right, I suddenly realized that I wasnt alone, in the fact that I couldnt play to well
You know what I mean?
I was in a group where all these people could play quite well, you know
And I felt inferior cause of it, you know
And when I saw The pistols, I thought it was great
Cause it, it suddenly struck me that it didnt have to matter that much, you know (Yeah I do)
And than I said, Ill go to another group, Wow, what a great group, and they all went, Hm
Right, and than these guys, I met these guys and I thought, They look great
I said, Theyve got a group, so I said I was interested
So we went, had a go ok, and just doing it cause it was
(Did you have the ninety?) No, hes having it mate
Hes vocal; hes the brains behind the group
We say what we want, right, and he will life the live
Catch on to it and get hold of it, right, and grasp what weve got, right
What they want, right, and its up to them, right, I mean we aint gonna have no fucking preach and preach and preach
Right, until it sounds like fucking nonsense, you know what I mean
Like you, you, you sound like something, an evangelist
But talk about the single man
No, what it is, I think I like it like that, cause the first time we went to a studio with a famous producer he said to me
Look you cunt, you better pronounce the words right
So I made a big deal about it, I really tried to pronounce it, and I, took all the piss out of it, you know
It just sounded like Matt Monroe was doing it, right, so I said, Bollocks to that, Im never doing that again
So, and that is, to me its like Jamaican stuff, right, you know
You cant understand the Jamaican stuff, till you listened to it about a hundred times, right and than you get it, right
Well, its the same with this, right, if people cant understand it than too bad
When you were in Wolves, did you get any ideas when you were in Wolves?
Well, Ive got one idea, right (Yeah), but I didnt tell the other two about it, when I feel like it, right
Hes got his idea, right, and mostly I think its rubbish, right, and he, he does never have any ideas at all
(Fuck off you cunt, had he done what you told him anyway) See, thats how it is
But why are you all crummy like this?
Me and Jarvis go right fucking to it, right; he wanted me to live with him, right
Just picture how it was, cause hes a queer (Cause hes a)
And also, we done the queer???, part of the eighties, right, because like, we are working on the same thing arent we
Jarvis was the salt of the earth
Basically we hate each other, right, cause were jealous of each other is what I said to him, right
For saying stupid things, right, were always in competition (I dont) (Yeah, I dont)
Hé I know when you are feeling over exited (Man, youre fucking boasting) (Yeah I know, Im telling about you as well)Clash - Capital Radio - http://motolyrics.com/clash/capital-radio-lyrics.html
Matt, you write, when you write songs and you, you know, and you, do you, what do you, get an idea or
Yeah, I, we get ideas, right, and like, (Take it
), he does, at the moment, right, hes doing a lot of the work
(Thats right) Im doing a lot of music (Right) (Wait, hang on)
We go around to his house (Right) and knock it out (We just sit on it)
And theyre trying (In my room) this thing done in lines, like pensioners or something, you know
And he, hes our final filter insurance
When you, when you, when you (Dont listen to his troubles)
Its great, thats the end
Yes, it's time for the Dr. Goebbels show
There's a tower in the heart of London with a radio station right at the top
They don't make the city beat, they're making all the action stop
A long time ago there were pirates, beaming waves from the sea
But now all the stations are silenced, 'cos they ain't got a government license
Wanna tell your problems, phone in from your bed-sit room
Having trouble with your partner, let us all in on the news
If you wanna hear a record, get the word from Aiden Day
He picks all the hits to play, to keep you in your place all day
Capital radio (In tune with nothing)
Capital radio (In tune with nothing)
Capital radio (I cant see you)
Capital radio (Im gonna break through today)
Capital radio (Alright, alright, all day)
Capital radio (Rock, rock, rock, rock it all day)
Capital radio (Backstreet a-hear us out)
Capital radio (Grab attention, Ive got my tool against the town)
Capital radio (We aint got no rights)
Capital radio (Its such a crime)
Capital radio (Is it a game)
Capital radio (We aint got no rights)
Capital radio (Slippin off, slipping off)
Capital radio (Slippin off, slipping off)
Capital radio (Slippin off, slipping off)
Capital
