The Crooked Beat Lyrics - Sandinista - The Clash

Start the car lets make a midnight run 

Across the river to South London 

To dance to the latest hi-fi sound 

Of bass, guitar and drum 

Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure off 

Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat 

Take a piece of cloth, a coin for thirst 

For the sweat will start to run 

With a cymbal splash, a word of truth 

And a rocking bass and drum 

Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure on 

Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So one by one they come on down 

From the tower blocks of my home town 

Stepping with the rhythm of the rockers beat 

Drowning out the pressure of the crooked beat 

Seeking out a rhythm that can take the tension on 

Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat

It has crooked past this crooked street 

Where cars patrol this crooked beat 

Badges flsh and sirens wail 

They'll be taking one and all to jail 

Prance! Prance! You want a law to dance?
