  • Friday or Saturday, what does that mean?
    Short space of time needs a heavy scene
    Monday is coming like a jail on wheels

    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Thrills
    Forty-eight thrills

    So tell me an' I'll take the tube
    You know a girl, yeah well she's bound to be rude
    Can't get nothing at the places I've been

    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Thrills
    Thrills

    I've combed this town from top to bottom
    Try to get around but my legs are broken
    Every time I miss it 'cause I ain't got a ticket

    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Thrills
    The forty-eight thrills
    Cheap thrills
    Any kind of thrill
    Kicking for kicks

    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Forty-eight hours needs forty-eight
    Thrills Writer/s: Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, Topper Headon
