The Clash - Long Time Jerk lyrics

Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots! As they were dancing in the evening And the light shone through the trees This girl my eye was following Asked the band to play her a beat Singin' she'd do that long time jerk She hit me where it hurts Ohhh your heart Now my heart will burst Oh no Ah, but it took me back to that wonderland I witnessed long ago Babbling words of preachers Sayin'- "don't bury me no more" Ohh... And i've forgotten how to worry And i don't know how to run Against the odds i realize This struggle could be won! We dance Long time jerk She did it to me first Ohhh my heart With that long time jerk Ah! say..... do that long time jerk. Bring on those tapes from the past They make you look better in a mirror Feel that long time jerkin' Between the taker and the giver Feel that... Long time jerk She hit me where it hurts Oh i felt my heart Now my heart will burst I've forgotten how to worry And i don't know how to run Against the odds i realize This struggle could be fun! Oh, through lanes and streets and houses And reversing rush of time She made me re-invent the world Before inventing time (before inventing time) Long time jerk Oh, she hit me where it hurts Ohhhhh my heart Long time jerk Long, long, long, long, long Long time Long time jerk
