The Jam – The Bitterest Pill (I Ever Had To Swallow) lyrics
In your white lace and your wedding bells
You look the picture of contented new wealth
But from the on-looking fool who believed your lies
I wish this grave would open up and swallow me alive
For the bitterest pill is hard to swallow
The love I gave hangs [...]
The Jam – That’s Entertainment lyrics
A police car and a screaming siren
Pneumatic drill and ripped up concrete
A baby wailing, a stray dog howling
The screech of brakes and lamplights blinking
That’s entertainment, that’s entertainment
A smash of glass and the rumble of boots
An electric train and a ripped up phone booth
Paint splattered walls and the cry of a [...]
The Jam – Precious lyrics
Your precious love that means so much
Will it ever stop or will I just lose touch
What I want to say but my words just fail
Is that I need it so I can’t help myself
Like a hungry child I just help myself
And when I’m all full up I go out to play
Lonely [...]
The Jam – Dreams Of Children lyrics
I sat alone with the dreams of children
Weeping willows and tall dark building,
I’ve caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and
I was alone, no one was there
I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children
I got a feeling of optimism
But woke [...]
The Jam – Going Underground lyrics
Some people might say my life is in a rut,
But I’m quite happy with what I got
People might say that I should strive for more,
But I’m so happy I can’t see the point.
Somethings happening here today
A show of strength with your boy’s brigade and,
I’m so happy and you’re so kind
You [...]
The Jam – Start! lyrics
It’s not important for you to know my name
Nor I to know yours
If we communicate for two minutes only
It will be enough
For knowing that someone in this world
Feels as desperate as me
And what you give is what you get
It doesn’t matter if we never meet again
What we have said will always [...]
The Jam – Beat Surrender lyrics
Beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
Come on boy, come on girl
Succumb to the beat surrender
All the things that I care about
Are packed into one punch
All the things that I’m not sure about
Are sorted out at once
And as it was in the beginning
So shall it be [...]
The Jam – Town Called Malice lyrics
Better stop dreaming of the quiet life
Cos it’s the one we’ll never know
And quit running for that runaway bus
Cos those rosey days are few
And stop apologising for the things you’ve never done,
Cos time is short and life is cruel
But it’s up to us to change
This town called malice.
Rows and [...]
