The Clash Groovy Times lyrics

High street shops are boarded up
And' the terrace it is fenced in
See through shields are walled across
The way that you came in

But there's no need to get excited
As the lorries bring the bacon in
'Cause the housewives are all singing
Groovy times are here again

They discovered one black Saturday
That mobs don't march they run
So you can excuse the nervous triggerman
Just this once for jumping the gun

They were picking up the dead
Out of the broken glass
Yes it's number one, the radio said
"Groovy times have come to pass"

Groovy times, groovy times, groovy times


Hey groovy

Hey the intake is on the uptake
The acceleration's pretty grim
I can remember his first appearance
Now look what's happened to him

So they put him in a dog suit
Like from 1964
The king of early evening TV
Groovy times forevermore

Groovy times, groovy times
Groovy times, groovy times, groovy times

Groovy times, groovy times, groovy times
