CITY OF THE DEAD As recorded by The Clash (From the 1980 EP BLACK MARKET CLASH) [Intro]         N.. [Verse 1] Ooh this is the city of the dead As we lie side by side in bed (ooh) I’d do somethin’ else instead But it is the city of the dead (ooh) When we went out kickin’ around You got drunk and fallen down And I wished I could be like you With the Soho river drinkin’ me down [Verse 2] In the city of the dead Fall in love and fall in bed It wasn’t anything you said Except I know we both lie dead "Don’t ya’ know where to go?" That’s what New York Johnny said You should get to know your town Just like I know mine [Verse 3] While all the windows stare ahead And the streets are filled with dread (ooh) Every nation in the world Slinks through the alley after girls (ooh) 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 [Solo]          N.. [Verse 4] But somedays we hide inside All courage gone and paralyzed Sniff that wind of ugly tension Today the jerks have got aggression I said today the jerks have got aggression [Bridge] Is this the city of the dead? It is the city of the dead It is the city of the dead It is the city of the dead [Outro]
