Songtext Junkie slip The Clash

Junkie slip

I wasnt going that far
The junkie slip!
I said I wasnt doin it
The junkie slip!
Yea thought Id find a rhythm in the junkie town
Thought Id find a rhythm when the junkies hang around

Thought Id go out walking to the junkie kind of beat
Setting on those bars that the junkies meet
The junkie slip!
Nail it down
The junkie slip!
This side of town
The junkie slip!
And whatcha knowing before yous a doin
The things theys a-knowing
You pawn your coat and your car
Pawned your cigar and your old guitar
You pawned your guitar and your saxaphone
Youre pawning everything in your mothers home

Cos its a junkie slip!
Just like rock n roll
A junkie slip!
Like johnnny did the stroll
And you know it feels alright
But whats that feeling on a saturday night?

Youre itching itching itching in your pillow in the day
Youre itching itching itching and you gave your coat away
Itching itching itching and then in your sleeping bag
Theres a little packet that youthought you never had

Its a junkie slip!
Every night
Junkie slip!
Cold water fright
Its a junkie slip
And an old spoon cooky cooky cooky kooky afternoon
All afternoon and in the middle of the night

Youre worse for the difference and it dont sleep tight
Dont pull the curtains font put on the light
C-c-c-cos its a junkie slip!
Whats goin on?
Was early night
I lit the fire
Finish alright
Yeh edi-edi-edi-yeh edi-juan
Him going to live with indian
Come in the car, its an old machine
Riding from brookway on a magazine
Be on that corner with a magazine

Do ya do ya do ya follow your friends?
Do I hear you saying that youre going back again?
Its a junkie slip!
Where? did it end?
But did it ah did it did it ever end?
When did it ever end?
Dont ask me when on a wednesday night
Dont ask me when on a thrusday night
I said oh? who the hell are you?
You said oh! well you met me
I said I can guess why
