Clash – Hitsville U.K. lyrics

They cried the tears, they she'd 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 'til the hitsville hit U.K.

(Remember) They say, 'True talent will allways emerge in time"
When lightening hits, small wonder
It's fast rough factory trade
No expense accounts or lunch discounts or hypeing up the charts
The band went in and knocked 'em dead, in 2 minutes 59
I know the boy was all alone 'til the hitsville hit U.K. (So, hit it)

No slimy deals with smarmy eels in hitsville U.K.
Lets shake and say, "We'll operate in hitsville U.K."
I know the girl felt all alone 'til the hitsville hit U.K.

The mutants, creeps and musclemen are shaking like a leaf
It blows a hole in the radio when it hasn't sounded good all week
A mike and boom in your living room in hitsville U.K.
No consumer trials, nor A.O.R. in hitsville U.K.
I know the boy felt all alone 'til the hitsville hit U.K.
Now the boys and girls are not alone now the hitsville's hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone now the hitsville's hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone now the hitsville's hit U.K.
I know the boys and girls are not alone now the hitsville's hit U.K.
