Urban Rock by Third World War Lyrics

Genre: rock | Year: 1972

Well we were rocking and a-rolling
At the borough town hall
Well pissed one Saturday night
Now where I come from
At a rock and roll dance
You gotta end the evening right

And we'd just had enough
Of that fat town tough
Throwing his mouth all over the place
So I grabbed myself a bottle
Smashed it on the table
And screwed it straight in his face

I said a little bit of urban rock
Don't do you no harm at all
I said a little bit of urban rock and roll
Don't do you harm, do you no harm
Do you no harm at all

He was sprawling and a crawling
In the dog ends and beer
Blood pouring out of a cut
Up came the bouncers
And every one agreed
It's time he kept his big mouth shut
So I fractured his fat jaw
Opened the back door
Threw him out hard face down in the road
And when a number 9 bus
Crushed him in the tarmac
The beers and the whiskies flowed

I said a little bit of urban rock
It don't do you no harm at all
You know a little bit of urban rock and roll
Don't do you no harm, do you no harm
Do you no harm at all

Well they was cheering and a-sneering
When the ambulance came accompanied by the law
They questioned his bird
Could see it coming
A G.B.H. stretch that's for sure

So I swallowed my pride
Dragged her outside
Past the ladies' and behind the gents'
And beneath the town hall clock
I dipped my old wick
Up against the fish shop fence
I said a little bit of urban rock
A little bit of urban roll
I said a little bit of urban rock
A little bit of urban roll
I said a little bit of urban rock

A little bit of urban roll
I said a little bit of urban rock
A little bit of urban roll
Don't do you no harm, do you no harm
Do you no harm at all
