Clash The First Night Back In London Lyrics

First Night Back In London Lyrics

The mini cab

 The driver is black

 This time of night

 You better sit in the back

 

 Got a few smokes

 Under your hat

 The cops are lookin' out

 For the petrol on the black

 

 This time i think

 So what the hell

 There's that female

 I know too well

 

 Why should i lean

 Get out my mind again

 I ridin' in the back alone

 The stranger rides again

 

 To see my lovely town

 That always brings you down

 Where every drifter drifts

 For many miles around

 

 We take a casual drive

 For two miles up the road

 The cops pull us over

 And search right through our clothes

 

 They give him hell

 They check him on the air

 I sit there with the drugs in my hair

 

 As soon as i get home

 I call heathrow

 Want a standby fare to borneo
