the clash – hitsville u.k. lyrics
they cried the tears, they shed the 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.
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
– no slimy deals, with smarmy eels – in hitsville u.k.
lets shake’n say, we’ll operate – in hitsville u.k.
the mutants, creeps and musclemen,
are shaking like a leaf,
it blows a hole in the radio,
when it hasnt sounded good all week,
a mike’n boom, in your living room – in hitsville u.k.
no consumer trials, or a.o.r., in hitsville u.k.,
now the boys and girls are not alone,
now the hitsville’s h-t u.k.
