Clash The (white Man) In Hammersmith Palais Lyrics

(white Man) In Hammersmith Palais Lyrics

Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy
Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator

Ken Boothe for UK pop
reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to
say
There's many black ears here to listen

But it was Four Tops all
night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the
treble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't
got no...roots rock rebel

Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat
attack
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns
The
British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred
tons

White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not
phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution

Punk
rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy
fighting
For a good place under the lighting

The new groups are not
concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you
think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money

All over people
changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in
today
They'd send a limousine anyway

I'm the all night drug-prowling
wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just
lookin' for fun

I'm only
Looking for fun
