Midnight To Stevens Lyrics

(strummer/jones)

 

 I searched through the drinkers

 Each propped over his glass

 I ran through each bar

 Until i found guy at last

 Guy you've been to the doctor

 No i don't think it wise

 Took one of his pills

 Boiled the blood in my eyes.

 

 When you played the master mix

 To the company man

 Took three million worldwide

 To make him understand

 You don't work for peanuts

 But they'll push you too

 It's that company trick

 We're all jumping through

 Bet you ain't had no food now

 Since you last went to sleep

 The wild seed that was sowed

 Will take forever to reap.

 

 What days and nights though

 Rocking out of ham yard

 Oh skip that fandango

 Bring the blues back down hard

 Though chuck would never admit it

 At the door of the jail

 There stood guy stevens

 And he was waving the bail.

 

 Guy you've finished the booze

 And you run out of speed

 But the wild side of life

 Is the one that we need.
