Arms Aloft - Joe Strummer, The Mescaleros

Arms Aloft

Sometimes there’s no star shining

Scounting the edge of the universe

Sometimes you can’t see the horizon

Between the ocean and the earth

And just when you’re thinking about slinkin' down

I’m gonna pull you up?

I’m gonna pull ya round

May I remind you of that scene

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

May I remind you of that scene

Let a million mirror balls beam

May I remind you of that scene

And you say?

living ain’t nothing but hassles?

In a Manilla envelope rain

And driving coal all-night to Newcastle

It’s getting to be a repettetive strain

And just when you’re thinking about

Going down the drain?

May I remind you of that scene

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

May I remind you of that scene

Let a million mirror balls beam

May I remind you of that scene

I’m gonna pull you up?

I’m gonna pull ya round

May I remind you of that scene

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

Let a million mirror balls beam

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

They say the stars can’t see their rays

Nor can they count their numbered days

No flower can says what perfume is

We got all this and bird and diz

May I remind you of that scene

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

May I remind you of that scene

Sometimes there’s no star shining

Scounting the edge of the universe

Sometimes you can’t see the horizon

Between the ocean and the earth

And just when you’re thinking about slinkin' down

I’m gonna pull you up?

I’m gonna pull ya round

May I remind you of that scene

The spirit is our gasoline

May I remind you of that scene

We were arms aloft in Aberdeen

May I remind you of that scene

Let a million mirror balls beam

May I remind you of that scene

And you say?

May I remind you of that scene
