Píseň: Ramshackle Day Parade

Interpret:
Joe Strummer
Album:
Streetcore
Muffle the drums.. and hope the new century comes…?
Was it all the amphetamine presidents and their busy wives
Or did Manhattan crumble the day Marilyn died?


All your life you dreamed a dream
Somehow connected with the silver screen
With half closed eyes you realise
It’s love in the life that is paradise
In a technicolour fade - I dream a parade
Like some flob house - bop house serenade
Every dog must have his day


Ramshackle day parade
We’re going on through
Ramshackle day parade


This is the Ramshackle day parade
Of all those lost, unborn and unmade
And whose heads got filled with neon lava
And remain buried under this road


Ramshackle day parade
Taking the freight elevator from the incinerators
Come all the hopped up G-men riding refrigerated alligators
Faces of the civil wars
In holograms holding 44’s
And after the deranged cowboys
Bring out the banners of Stalingrad


Bring out the banners of Stalingrad


Here comes the marching band - The band of the underhand


This is the Ramshackle day parade
