(The Clash)

Gonna scrape the trouble off my boots!


As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees

This girl my eye was following
Asked the band to play her a beat


Singin' she'd do that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Ohhh your heart

Now my heart will burst
Oh no


Ah, but it took me back to that wonderland
I witnessed long ago
Babbling words of preachers

Sayin'- "Don't bury me no more"

Ohh...


And I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run

Against the odds I realize
This struggle could be won!


We dance

Long time jerk

She did it to me first
Ohhh my heart
With that long time jerk


Ah! Say..... Do that long time jerk.


Bring on those tapes from the past
They make you look better in a mirror
Feel that long time jerkin'

Between the taker and the giver

Feel that...


Long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts

Oh I felt my heart
Now my heart will burst


I've forgotten how to worry
And I don't know how to run
Against the odds I realize

This struggle could be fun!

Oh, through lanes and streets and houses

And reversing rush of time
She made me re-invent the world
Before inventing time

(Before inventing time)

Long time jerk

Oh, she hit me where it hurts
Ohhhhh my heart
Long time jerk


Long, long, long, long, long
Long time

Long time jerk
