Life Is Wild lyrics.

[Marky Dread]

Has anybody got a cigarette?

Has anybody got a cigarette?
I'm here to clear your disaster zone
Oh the car is a total wreck
An' I just can't go back home

My girl if she had the dough-o
We'd get the mafia on the phone
I still got get up and go-o
Don't start carving on my headstone

Cause!
Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna fall on me
Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna grind out me

Here's to all of my kindred souls
Who got a life but ain't got no style
Well I heard that you stole the Rolls
But then it broke down after half a mile

If that is the way it goes
You better keep a low profile
Your undoing was I suppose
That you sure ain't no juvenile

Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna fall on me
Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna grind out me

Somebody got cigarettes
A guitar and a blank cassette
An' the last place this plectrum means to fall
I'm gonna chart the rise of my star

Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna fall on me
Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna grind out me

Oh they're so flash
We stay Clash

Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna fall on me
Life is wild life is free
Ain't no rock or stone gonna grind out me

Always thought it was something about “declared a disaster zone.”

Also that one random source of partial but legit CTC Lyrics was “ain’t no rock or stone gonna fall on me” and then “ain’t no rock or stone gonna grind down me” or something similar.

The online lyrics are a mess. So I'm trying to decipher them. I extracted the vocal and slowed it down.

These are just so poor.

Has anybody got a cigarette
Haven't you declared a disaster zone
Ho! Your car is a total wreck
And I just can't go back home
My girl if she had the dope
We'd get the messieurs on the phone
I still got to get up and go home
Don't start driving on my headstone
Go!
Life is wild life is free
Make him want to stop, gonna fall on me
Life is wild life is free
Make him want to stop, gonna (???) me


Legit source from where?

Playing back the chorus now and it sounds like

"Ain't no rock or stone gonna fall on me"
"Ain't no rock or stone gonna grind out me"

Yep that sounds better.

I'll edit the lyric above.

It was a pamphlet for a fashion show or something.

Good work on the lyrics mate.

Sex, style and subversion I hope.

Cheers I'm trying to decipher Cool Under Heat now. The online ones look good but I still think they are wrong in that last verse. I don't think it's burn those blue suede shoes. But we'll see.

I've remastered Cut The Crap and also made a completely new version of the album from stems. Way better than anything I've managed previously. Cleaned up all Lucky Eight rehearsals. Made some new 12" mixes and cleaned up the sound on two live eps. All sounding excellent. Just want to have all the lyrics to go with it if possible. Ten disc box set.

Just seen the Sunderland score.

We had an earlier discussion on it and the link isn’t up but I saved the lyrics mentioned: viewtopic.php?p=380857#p380857

It was the most random place for previously undecipheres lyrics to pop up. Something called Strummer of Love. And it I think was exclusively CTC lyrics that were included. Or at least a majority.

Thanks Andrew for remembering.

Those Dirty Punk lyrics really are like a punk song written by Hanna Barbera.

Hi Marky, your determination to extract a viable work from CTC and its various bits and pieces are worthy of a Mission Impossible storyline. I look forward to your next audio archaeology expedition.

May I ask, what software do you use to create the stems?
I have a bunch of old demos my band recorded, which I'd love to try and pick apart.

It seems you have gained another level of expertise recently as you refine your mixes. The creativity of your Clash projects are cohesive, well thought out, and stylistically on the money.
Thank you.

I used one called Moises.

Thank you. You have continually refined your skills and have very generously shared the results with us. Much appreciated.

Your previous work (Land of one thousand stances) was already good, so much so that I thought it was impossible to go further but, I think you succeeded.
At this point I'm really curious to hear what you've managed to come up with.
P.S. Is the work on the first album postponed? I remembered reading it was almost ready.

I finished it but I'm not quite satisfied so it's on the back burner for a bit longer.
