White Man In Hammersmith Palais Lyrics

Midnight to six man 
For the first time from Jamaica 
Dillinger and Leroy Smart 
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator 
 
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae 
With backing bands sound systems 
And if they`ve got anything to say 
There`s many black ears here to listen 
 
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right 
Charging from the bass knives to the treble 
But onstage they ain`t got no roots rock rebel 
Onstage they ain`t got no...roots rock rebel 
 
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack 
`Cos it won`t get you anywhere 
Fooling with your guns 
The British Army is waiting out there 
An` it weighs fifteen hundred tons 
 
White youth, black youth 
Better find another solution 
Why not phone up Robin Hood 
And ask him for some wealth distribution 
 
Punk rockers in the UK 
They won`t notice anyway 
They`re all too busy fighting 
For a good place under the lighting 
 
The new groups are not concerned 
With what there is to be learned 
They got Burton suits, ha you think it`s funny 
Turning rebellion into money 
 
All over people changing their votes 
Along with their overcoats 
If Adolf Hitler flew in today 
They`d send a limousine anyway 
 
I`m the all night drug-prowling wolf 
Who looks so sick in the sun 
I`m the white man in the Palais 
Just lookin` for fun 
 
I`m only 
Looking for fun
