The Clash Hitsville UK 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, till 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

Aaaahhh

No slimy deals, with smarmy eels, in Hitsville U.K.
Lets shake'n say, we'll operate, in Hitsville U.K.
I know the boy was 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 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.
I know the boy was all alone, till the Hitsville hit U.K.

Now the boys and girls are not alone, now the Hitsville hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone, now the Hitsville hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone, now the Hitsville hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone, now the Hitsville hit U.K.
