Lightning Strikes Lyrics - Sandinista - The Clash

Now lightning strikes in old 

New york 

It may be dark but I wanna talk 

It might rain, it might snow 

Too many things I got to know 

If this is spring than it's time to sing 

Never mind the l'il birdies wing 

Look out, look out, old new york 

New york's coming an' new york talks 

Hey! strike! not once... 

Strike! but twice!

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

 

Get out your money - peel a slab 

Roll some notes an' hail a cab 

Drive in church drive in back 

Drive down seventh in a tank 

Take in the sights, feel the breeze 

See new york's one and only tree 

It can be found in garbage park 

But don't inspect it after dark 

Strike! new york! lightning! 

Not once but twice. 

 

Accidental hike in the transit strike 

Roller skate or ride a bike 

Three to a car, brooklyn bridge 

You won't get far if you're privileged 

Graffiti jack sprays in black 

An englishman can he read it back? 

Deli joe he ought to know 

He runs the gang on pastrami row 

Strike! lightning strike! 

 

Photos 

 

Because glass to glass, street to street 

Buildings touch st. peter's feet 

From car to bar, prez to shah 

Everything is in the jar 

The 4 winds blow cos the 4 winds know 

Takes a special hustle to make a roll 

Honey girl on her feet 

I wish everything to make her sweet 

Strike! twice! ok so roll! 

From harlem! strike one! 

 

Harlem slum to penthouse block 

On every door I already knocked 

There wasn't anybody that I didn't leave alone 

Somebody lying under every stone 

Everything that a man could need 

In a bag down by my knee 

That looks good, this ain't got seeds 

Cheaper than booze down in the bowery 

Lightning strike! old new york! 

Everything's light! strike! 

 

Hey ho such a night 

I'll see y'all when the lightning strike 

A polaroid caught in the act 

You're married too and that's a fact 

But I won't peek and I won't squeek 

Down by the trucks on christopher street 

It's cuban day - oi vey 

Chinese new year let's call it a day 

Tootsie! hey chi man! 

That melody is puerto rican 

Hey chi man is what he's speaking 

An' there's the road down into london town 

Where many cars get broken down 

It's the westway from ladbroke grove 

Runs down to old hounslow 

Just thought I'd mention the new extention 

That run's down the 59th street intersection 

Did you hear the news y'all? 

London town on the broadway!
