Sweet Gene Vincent (Live) Lyrics

Sweet Gene Vincent (Live) - The Clash

Lyrics by:The Clash

Composed by:Ian Dury/Chaz Jankel

John

White face black shirt

White socks black shoes

Black hair white strat

Bled white died black

Sweet gene vincent

Let the blue can roll tonight

At the sock hop ball in the union hall

Where the bop is there delight

Walley the fight choice

Danny dragging Uncanny Annie

She's walk with the flying feet

You can break the peace daddy sickle grease

The beat is reet complete

And you jump back honey in the dungerees

Tight sweater and a ponny tail

Will you guess her age when she comes back stage

The hoodlems bite their nails

Black gloves white frost

Black crepe white lead

White sheet black knight

Jet black dead white

Sweet gene vincent

There's one in every town

And the devil drives 'till the hurse arrives

You lay that pistol down

Sweet gene vincent

There's nowhere left to hide

With lazy skin and ash-tray eyes

A perforated pride aw

So farewell mademoiselle knicker-bocker hotel

Farewell to money owed

But when your leg still hurts and you need more shirts

Got to get back on the road

Sweet gene vincent

Sweet gene vincent

Sweet gene vincent

Sweet gene vincent

 

Where the left to hide
