Clash The If Music Could Talk Lyrics

If Music Could Talk Lyrics

(the clash/dread)

 

 *left channel*

 Make sure!

 Taking cover in the bunker tonight

 Waiting for bo diddley's headlights

 I feel alright

 Gotta fender stratosphere

 I can do anything tonight

 It's in neon lights an' global rights

 Frank? he's on the phone

 There ain't no german girl outside

 But who cares when its warm inside?

 With music

 Special mystery of music tragically

 Exchanging slaves for majesties

 Modern waves of tragedy

 Packing a to pience colt pair of shoots

 A shiny grey mexican suit

 The blue eyed traffic can sashay by

 'cos tonight the sailor boys have hit shanghai

 The kick-out traffic goes creaking by

 I smash my glass and shout shanghi

 My drummer friend comes shooting by

 He said errol flynn will never die

 Oh no! who am i to question why?

 And are you lonesome tonight

 And do ya need a country cowboy

 Who's just thin and tight in those

 Brrrr bus depot jeans

 With a squirt resistant stud stud

 Hey stoner

 

 Get over there in the spliffbunker one

 Becos london bridge was sold somehow

 But it was too old anyhow

 When uncle sam has broken down

 We'll make him down in old japan

 Say yeee

 

 Well there ain't no better blend

 Than joe ely and his texas men

 Where the wind blows

 I ain't seen none like that scenery

 You can see from a bus if you pay the price

 

 Wave my arms around

 Flag one of those taxi's maybe

 I saw a girl somewhere somehow

 Forever sticks in my mind somehow

 I've just got three lines

 And a pair of two's

 Like a lucky roll of dice that you

 You cast

 

 *right channel*

 If music could talk!

 Which means

 Whatever your mind can bring

 Likethe apple fell off the tree

 Pah! fell right on his head

 Yeah many years ago

 

 There was a man who said

 I am a shaman

 A voodoo shaman

 Got in trouble so he's going out

 Mixing up and haiti! oh!

 And the crickets

 Buddy holly said it was

 Brrr brrr yiii!

 

 If music could talk you know

 

 I feel kinda lonely

 Standing out on the floor

 Of electric ladyland...

 Cos this is a good question samson

 Are you partly arabic?

 

 Chi man! whatcho all about

 

 I don't want to i can't hope to

 Say it all in one go

 Occasionally once or twice

 A day i feel alive enough to say

 Let's hear what the drummerman's

 Got to say about

 He said is it errol flynn's birthday or not?

 Sept 12 until october

 If they pack 2 piece

 Colt pair of shoots

 We got the shiny grey mexican suits

 I'm just wasting a great big

 Corporation and the entire fund

 The girders of wall street

 And thetemples of money

 And the high priests

 Of the expense account

 And im wasting the whole thing

 I come down in yamaha-ha

 They make the best pianos-time to step-up
