Hitsville U.K. lyrics

Song information

Artist: The Clash

Lyrics

They cried the tears, they shed their fears
Up and down the land
They stole guitars or used guitars
So the tape would understand

Without even the slightest hope of a 1000 sales
Just as if, as if there was, a hitsville in u.k
I know the boy was all alone, til the hitsville hit u.k

Remember

They say true talent will allways emerge in time
When lightening hits small wonder
Its fast rough factory trade
No expense accounts, or lunch discounts
Or hypeing up the charts
The band went in, 'n' knocked 'em dead, in 2 min. 59
I know the boy was all alone, till the hitsville hit u.k

So hit it

No slimy deals, with smarmy eels in hitsville u.k
Lets shake and say, we'll operate in hitsville u.k
I know the girl felt all alone, till the hitsville hit u.k

The mutants, creeps, and musclemen
Are shaking like a leaf
It blows a hole in the radio
When it hasn't sounded good all week
A mike 'n' boom, in your living room, in hitsville u.k
No consumer trials, nor a.o.r., in hitsville u.k.

I know the boy felt all alone
Till the hitsville hit u.k

Now the boys and girls are not alone
Now that hitsville's hit u.k

I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now that hitsville's hit u.k

I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now that hitsville's hit u.k

I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now that hitsville's hit u.k
