"Secret Agent Man" lyrics

Joe Strummer Lyrics

"Secret Agent Man"
(originally by Johnny Rivers)

There's a man who leads a life of danger
To everyone he meets he stays a stranger
With every move he makes
Another chance he takes
Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name

Beware of pretty faces that you find
A pretty face can hide an evil mind
Oh, be careful what you say
Or you'll give yourself away
Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name

Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name

Swinging on the Riviera one day
Laying in the Bombay alley next day
Oh, well you let the wrong word slip
Slobbering on persuasive lips
The odds are you won't live to see tomorrow

Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name
Secret agent man
Secret agent man
They've given you a number
And taken away your name
They've given you a number
And taken away your name
