Long Time Jerk - The Clash

Long Time Jerk -The Clash
Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots
As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees
This girl my eye was following
Asked the band to play her a beat
Singin' she'd do that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Ohhh your heart
Now my heart will burst
Oh no
Ah but it took me back to that wonderland
I witnessed long ago
Babbling words of preachers
Sayin'- "Don't bury me no more"
Ohh
And I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realize
This struggle could be won
We dance
Long time jerk
She did it to me first
Ohhh my heart
With that long time jerk
Ah Say Do that long time jerk
Bring on those tapes from the past
They make you look better in a mirror
Feel that long time jerkin'
Between the taker and the giver
Feel that
Long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Oh I felt my heart
Now my heart will burst
I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realize
This struggle could be fun
Oh through lanes and streets and houses
And reversing rush of time
She made me re-invent the world
Before inventing time
(Before inventing time)
Long time jerk
Oh she hit me where it hurts
Ohhhhh my heart
Long time jerk
Long long long long long
Long time
Long time jerk
