The Clash
Hitsville U.K.
They cried the tears, they shed the fears
Up and down the land
They stole guitars or used guitars
So the tape would understand
Without even the slightest hope of a thousand sales
Just as if, as if there was, Hitsville in UK
I know the boy was all alone, 'til the Hitsville hit UK

(Remember)
They say true talent will always emerge in time
When lightning hits Small Wonder
Its Fast Rough Factory time
No expense accounts, or lunch discounts
Or hyping up the charts
The band went in, and knocked 'em dead, in 2 minutes 59
I know the boy was all alone, 'til the Hitsville hit UK
So hit it

No slimy deals, with smarmy eels in Hitsville UK
Lets shake'n say, we'll operate in Hitsville UK
I know the girl felt all alone, 'til the Hitsville hit UK

The mutants, creeps, and musclemen
Are shakin' like a leaf
It blows a hole in the radio
When it hasn't sounded good all week
A mike 'n boom, in your livin' room in Hitsville UK
No consumer trials, nor A.O.R., in Hitsville UK
I know the boy felt all alone 'til the Hitsville hit UK
Now the boys and girls are not alone
Now that Hitsville hit UK
I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now that Hitsville hit UK
I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now that Hitsville hit UK
I know the boys and girls are not alone
Now that Hitsville hit UK
