White Man In Hammersmith Palais Lyrics

    (strummer/jones)

    Midnight to six man
    For the first time from jamaica
    Dillinger and leroy smart
    Delroy wilson, your cool operator

    Ken boothe for uk pop reggae
    With backing bands sound systems
    And if they've got anything to say
    There's many black ears here to listen

    But it was four tops all night with encores from stage right
    Charging from the bass knives to the treble
    But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
    Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel

    Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
    'cos it won't get you anywhere
    Fooling with your guns
    The british army is waiting out there
    An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

    White youth, black youth
    Better find another solution
    Why not phone up robin hood
    And ask him for some wealth distribution

    Punk rockers in the uk
    They won't notice anyway
    They're all too busy fighting
    For a good place under the lighting

    The new groups are not concerned
    With what there is to be learned
    They got burton suits, ha you think it's funny
    Turning rebellion into money

    All over people changing their votes
    Along with their overcoats
    If adolf hitler flew in today
    They'd send a limousine anyway

    I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
    Who looks so sick in the sun
    I'm the white man in the palais
    Just lookin' for fun

    I'm only
    Looking for fun
