Joe Strummer - Sleepwalk

Matchbooks of lonely places I'll never find
Clocks on wall spaces, some piece of mind
I'll never find
What good would it be
What good would it be
If you could change every river
That ran through your life and mine?
From here to the country line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh, the Scarsdale will be on time
You know the shoe shine costs a dime

Hootenanny Annie had a party in the yard
You could smell the barby out on Ocean Boulevard
Where I went to find, some piece of mind
What good would it be?
What good would it be
If you could change every heartache
That ran though your life and mine?
'Cause from here to the country line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh, the Scarsdale will be on time
Just like a shoe shine costs a dime

With the washroom lights of a bowling alley in your face
You know your bar and your plates are really out of place
That goes for your soul
Some holy rock 'n' roll
What good would it do?
What good would it be
If you could change every heartache
That ran though your life and mine?
'Cause from here to the country line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh, the Scarsdale will be on time
You know the shoe shine costs a dime, costs a dime, costs a dime

The bringers of rain or shine
'Cause from here to the country line
Counts one hundred and ninety-nine
Oh, the Scarsdale will be on time
You know the shoe shine costs a dime
