"Nitcomb" lyrics
Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Lyrics
"Nitcomb"
It's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me
'Cause I just realized that it was meant to be
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 it's gonna be alright
'Cause it's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me
'Cause I just realized that it was meant to be
And I'm standing at a sale of the shoes of bankrupt men
I just had to buy a pair to show life 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
'Cause it's gonna take a nitcomb to get rid of me
'Cause I just realized that it was meant to be
And they're banging on sheets of metal and sheets of gold
These are 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 all the bells in the city
On a Saturday night
Nobody knows why
But they know it's gonna be alright

Took the shoes...

'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door

The Replacements - "I'll Be You" If it's a temporary lull
why'm I bored right outta my skull?
Man I'm dressin' sharp an' feelin' dull
Lonely, I guess that's where I'm from
If I was from Canada
then I'd best be called lonesome

When I was just a little boy, Pep put me on his knee.
And he said, "Dear son, steer clearly on the high road you should stay,
