london mick

let's hear it for the sharp and slick

big hearted guitar man

london mick

come on dj

play my fix

some rock and roll by london mick

i first met him in the punk rock days

he was blowing through town in a punk rock blaze

i was a clash kid under the spell

he bought me coca-cola at the band's hotel

bought me coca-cola at the band's hotel

he aced strummer with his killer licks

you were my guitar hero

london mick

there was no band they couldn't lick

then or now

london mick

seven wild years came tumbling down

and i was livin' in mick's old stomping ground

we shared a manager

man

and though it all went south

we saw spinal tap together at the picture house

spinal tap together at the picture house

when he left the clash he took some stick

but he stayed cool

london mick

djs and dreads were his sidekicks

always an edge with london mick

at century's end

under a waning moon

a chance encounter in a greasy spoon

we see each other
