Fifteen man taken captive in a hostile foreign land
Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
A mideast country being ruled
By a man who thinks it's fun
To hold our people in return
For a sjah that's on the run
I think it's funny
Freedom takes money
It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well that's tough shit
Man it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin' down you and me
Scourge of suits in control
Of the diplomaticness
While the nations of the world
Look on and they care less
The Soviet Union won't agree
To an economic plan
And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan
Orders from Moscow
Invade Teheran now
It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well that's tough shit
Man it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin' at you and me
A nation worries and reads the papers
Hoping that no-one has died
Hearin' rumours that the hostages
Will soon be tried as spies
Demonstrations on the street
Saying that the end is near
The man from New York Times on vacation
Wants to know what happened here
Agressive acts now
We want the best now
Fifteen moms crying
Is my son dying ?
It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well that's tough shit
Man it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shootin' at you and me

Gli Stray Cats sono un gruppo musicale rockabilly statunitense formatosi a Long Island nel 1979. Il nucleo fondante è costituito da Brian Setzer (voce, chitarra), Slim Jim Phantom (batteria) e Lee Rocker (contrabbasso). Il loro sound, caratterizzato da riff di chitarra energici, ritmi incalzanti e melodie orecchiabili, ha riscosso un enorme successo negli anni '80, rilanciando l'interesse per il rockabilly. Tra i brani più famosi ci sono "Rock This Town", "Stray Cat Strut" e "(She's) Sexy + 17". Gli Stray Cats hanno pubblicato diversi album di successo, tra cui "Gonna Ball" (1981), "Let's Have a Party" (1982) e "Rant 'n' Rave with the Stray Cats" (1983). Dopo una pausa negli anni '90, il gruppo si è riunito nel 2004 per un tour mondiale.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
