Nitcomb Lyrics - Joe Strummer And The Mescaleros

Gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me 

'Cos I just realized that it was meant to be 

And I'm singing to all the torn betting slips flying around my feet 

I'm talking to all the chewing gum that's stuck everywhere on the street 

And they're ringing the bells all over the city on a Saturday night 

Nobody knows why, but they know its gonna be alright 

'Cos it's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me 

'Cos I just realized that it was meant to be 

I'm standing at the sale of the shoes of bankrupt men 

I just had to buy a pair to show I can live again 

They're ringing the bells all over the city on a Saturday night 

Nobody knows why, but they know it's gonna be alright 

It's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me 

'Cos I just realized that it was meant to be 

And they're banging on the sheets of metal, sheets of gold 

And these were the finest shoes that were ever sold 

Raining on roofs, raining on drums 

Love buys a six-pack and gives it to the bums 

They're ringing on the bells in the city on a Saturday night 

Nobody knows why, but they know it's gonna be alright
