Joe Strummer - Slant Six lyrics

Youth, money, success and power Expressing your soul to critical acclaim Now you're insatiable--there's no stopping you If something lasts for a minute--it's scored a hit with you What are you gonna do for an encore? C'mon baby after an act like that People are gonna scream for more You've got Juan-Les-Pins You got the needle and the deep cellar wine You've got the slow boat to China You own part of South Carolina How about wrapping your slant six Around Inspiration Point? Or I wanna be alone That's your other choice You've got Juan-les-Pins You've got the needles and the deep cellar wine You've got the slow boat to China You own part of South Carolina That's what you were to the crowd The imprint is indelible Who the hell cares what you are now The soundtrack is too loud And everything's sweet except for Avoiding books and magazines What a fate to be imprisoned At the height of your dreams You've got Juan-les-Pins You've got the needles and the deep cellar wine You've got the slow boat to China You own part of South Carolina.
