Something's Gotta Blow Lyrics - Into The Blues - Joan Armatrading

Smell of a man 

Smell of musk 

The noise of the train 

From morning till dusk 

The up escalator broken down 

The clothes on my back 

Look like they were taken out of the laundry basket 

To weary to wash 

To weary to wash 

Now there's hordes of people 

Pushing and shoving 

Sizzling noises coming out of their ears 

Hold on to the strap 

Or hold on to a stranger 

Hope that stranger's day has not been too hard

Every Lyric From Keith Urban's New Album 'Graffiti U' 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

Aggression builds up 

When the going is slow 

And you're packed like sardines 

Something's gotta blow 

Something's gotta blow 

When you work so hard 

And the sweat pours down on you 

Something's gotta blow 

When your pay don't match 

The work you slave 

And the pain you get 

Something's gotta blow 

Please stand on the right 

So I can pass on the left 

Cos Something's gotta blow 

Something's gotta blow 

Something's gotta blow 

Photos 

Dodging the fare 

Ain't worth the crime 

Think of your loved ones 

Whilst you're doing your time 

Being met at the station 

No better thrill 

Than that 4x4 cruiser 

Coming over the hill 

Bringing love and relief 

From the noise and the heat 

From the suicide jumpers 

From that head nodding sleep 

From the smell of burgers 

And the rustling of sweets 

Someone lend me your phone 

So I can say which train to meet 

Let me say which train to meet 

Something's gotta blow 

When you work so hard 

And the sweat pours down on you 

Something's gotta blow 

When your pay don't match 

The work you slave 

And the pain you get 

Something's gotta blow 

Please stand on the right 

So I can pass on the left 

Cos something's gotta blow 

Something's gotta blow
