Leopardskin limousines


Noontime the lunchstand tilts
It's you baby walking in with your stilts
You don't have to eat here no more
Cos the sauerkraut's been on the dog-bowl floor
They made an old film of this
It shows in Hindu out on Air Pacif
Shoulda seen it coming 'bout a mile away
Especially when you don't hear no harmonica play

What you can see is something you saw
When you were a little girl
Some picture passed by the Hays Commission
About a prairie and a Kansas whirl
It's true I didn't have a part in it
I was working out at Disneyworld
Dressing like a duck, not giving a fuck
Baby you can dream it's a pearl

People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
It's a good thing you ain't a Chickasaw
Or your soul would take the overnight train
To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore
People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
What will it do to your mind?
Hang gliding off the Grand Canyon
In a Coney Island for the blind

With me, it'd be Charlie Parker, Chevys
And late night barroom brawls
With real or imgainary friends and enemies
Who strike their heads when they fall
On the chassis of a classic Bull Nose special
That adorned our livingroom wall
Nobody'd be disappointed, if you're the one they wanted
Blazing out across the waterfall

People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
They got a quota to fill
Got some cat named Juliean
And a Jap in a pad on the top of the ???
People gonna wanna Xerox you baby
It's a good thing you ain't a Chickasaw
Or your soul would take the overnight train
To Pittsburgh calling Baltimore

Suppose I should drag my stuff on out
But I don't like the memories
Found a pint of brandy on top of the fridge
And it's working like an antifreeze
So California is running short of water, oh
The magazine turns in the breeze
It's the bargain of a lifetime dreaming of gold
Baby look in the trees

It's your Chinese year of the animal
And it must be one that preens
Those firecrackers going down the hill
Signify the end of our dreams

It's gonna be so beautiful
In those Leopardskin Limousines
When they spread you out in white
All over Harpers and Queens.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Joe Strummer, born John Graham Mellor (1952-2002), was a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and radio host. Known for being the frontman of The Clash, one of the most influential punk bands in music history. Born in Ankara, Turkey, to English parents, Strummer spent his childhood between London and continental Europe. Influenced by American rock 'n' roll and British folk music, he began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1976, he founded The Clash with Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper Headon. The band quickly became a symbol of the punk movement, blending punk energy, reggae, ska, and rockabilly into a unique and revolutionary sound. Their albums, such as *London Calling* (1979) and *Sandinista!* (1980), are considered milestones in punk music and have influenced generations of musicians. After The Clash disbanded in 1986, Strummer continued to pursue a successful musical career as a solo artist, collaborating with artists like Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. He died suddenly in 2002 at the age of 50. Among Joe Strummer's most representative songs are: *London Calling*, *Should I Stay or Should I Go*, *Rock the Casbah*.
