Clash The The Crooked Beat Lyrics

The Crooked Beat Lyrics

Start the car lets make a midnight run

 Across the river to south london

 To dance to the latest hi-fi sound

 Of bass, guitar and drum

 Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure off

 Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat

 

 Take a piece of cloth, a coin for thirst

 For the sweat will start to run

 With a cymbal splash, a word of truth

 And a rocking bass and drum

 Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure on

 Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat

 

 So one by one they come on down

 From the tower blocks of my home town

 Stepping with the rhythm of the rockers beat

 Drowning out the pressure of the crooked beat

 Seeking out a rhythm that can take the tension on

 Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat

 

 It has crooked past this crooked street

 Where cars patrol this crooked beat

 Badges flsh and sirens wail

 They'll be taking one and all to jail

 

 Prance! prance! you want a law to dance?
