Clash First Night Back In London Lyrics

First Night Back In London Lyrics

The mini cab
The driver is black
This time of night
You better sit in the back

Got a few smokes
Under your hat
The cops are lookin’ out
For the petrol on the black

This time I think
So what the hell
There’s that female
I know too well

Why should I lean
Get out my mind again
I ridin’ in the back alone
The stranger rides again

To see my lovely town
That always brings you down
Where every drifter drifts
For many miles around

We take a casual drive
For two miles up the road
The cops pull us over
And search right through our clothes

They give him hell
They check him on the air
I sit there with the drugs in my hair

As soon as I get home
I call heathrow
Want a standby fare to borneo
