  • Let me tell you 'bout Wayne and his deals of cocaine
    A little more every day
    Holding for a friend till the band do well
    Then the D.E.A. locked him away

    Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors
    Bang bang, go the boots on the floor
    Cry cry, for your lonely mother's son
    Clang clang, go the jail guitar doors

    An' I'll tell you 'bout Pete, didn't want no fame
    Gave all his money away
    "Well there's something wrong, it'll be good for you, son"
    And so they certified him insane

    And then there's Keith, waiting for trial
    Twenty-five thousand bail
    If he goes down you won't hear his sound
    But his friends carry on anyway
    Fuck 'em!
    Jail guitar doors
    Fifty four/forty six was my number
    Jail guitar doors
    Right now someone else has that number Writer/s: JOE STRUMMER, MICK JONES, PAUL SIMONON, TOPPER HEADON
