City Of The Dead Lyrics - Super Black Market Clash - The Clash

This is the City of the Dead 

As we lie side by side in bed 

I'd do something else instead 

It is the City of the Dead 

When we went out kickin' around 

But you got drunk an' fallen down 

An' I wished I could be like you 

With the Soho River drinking me down 

In the City of the Dead 

Fall in love an' fall in bed 

It wasn't anything you said 

Except I know we both lie dead

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

"Don't you know where to cop?" 

That's what New York Johnny said 

"You should get to know your town 

Just like I know mine" 

While all the windows stare ahead 

An' the streets are filled with dread 

Every nation in the world 

Slinks through the alley after girls 

What we wear is dangerous gear 

It'll get you picked on anywhere 

Though we get beat up we don't care 

At least it livens up the air 

But some days we hide inside 

All courage gone and paralyzed 

Sniff that wind of ugly tension 

Today the jerks have got aggression 

Yeah, today the jerks have got aggression
