Clash The Long Time Jerk Lyrics

Long Time Jerk Lyrics

Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots!

 

 As they were dancing in the evening

 And the light shone through the trees

 This girl my eye was following

 Asked the band to play her a beat

 

 Singin' she'd do that long time jerk

 She hit me where it hurts

 Ohhh your heart

 Now my heart will burst

 Oh no

 

 Ah, but it took me back to that  wonderland

 I witnessed long ago

 Babbling words of preachers

 Sayin'- "don't bury me no more"

 

 Ohh...

 

 And i've forgotten how to worry

 And i don't know how to run

 Against the odds i realize

 This struggle could be won!

 

 We dance

 

 Long time jerk

 She did it to me first

 Ohhh my heart

 With that long time jerk

 

 Ah! say..... do that long time jerk.

 

 Bring on those tapes from the past

 They make you look better in a mirror

 Feel that long time jerkin'

 Between the taker and the giver

 

 Feel that...

 

 Long time jerk

 She hit me where it hurts

 Oh i felt my heart

 Now my heart will burst

 

 I've forgotten how to worry

 And i don't know how to run

 Against the odds i realize

 This struggle could be fun!

 

 Oh, through lanes and streets and houses

 And reversing rush of time

 She made me re-invent the world

 Before inventing time

 (before inventing time)

 

 Long time jerk

 Oh, she hit me where it hurts

 Ohhhhh my heart

 Long time jerk

 

 Long, long, long, long, long

 Long time

 Long time jerk
