Rudie Can't Fail - The Clash

I know that fan is moving air, I can see it in your hair But I can't bear to breathe it in somehow I'll rise and fall with you 'cause you can't fail me now I'll rise and fall with you 'cause you can't fail me now Salt is sweet upon my mouth And dark throws sparks against my house The state of love is a smudge on my brow But you see through me and you can't fail me now When you see right through me, you can't fail me now I've bit off more than I can chew It's something that I tend to do When fewer words are what we need and how Oh, you bite my tongue and you can't fail me now I rant and rail but you can't fail me now I've lost the thread among the vines And hung myself in storylines That tell the tales I never would allow God knows the name of every bird That fills my mind like angry words But you know all my secret heart avows We're taught to love the worst of us And mercy more than life but trust me Mercy's just a warning shot across the bow I live for yours and you can't fail me now I live for your mercy, you can't fail me now You can't fail me now

Feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now, uh huh Feet don't fail me now, feet, you can't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet, you can't fail me now Down from Louisiana, up to the Texas weed Everybody doin' it, everybody on the seed Down in Lafayette, down in New Orleans Everybody dancin', dancin' with the Zulu queen Now feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet, you can't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet, you can't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet don't fail me now Feet don't fail me now, feet, you can't fail me now

Interrupting all programmes This is radio clash from pirate satellite Orbiting your living room, cashing in the bill of rights Cuban army surplus or refusing all third lights This is radio clash on pirate satellite This sound does not subscribe to the international plan In the psycho shadow of the white right hand Then that see ghettology as an urban Vietnam Giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm This is radio clash tearing up the seven veils This is radio clash please save us, not the whales This is radio clash underneath a mushroom cloud This is radio clash, you don't need that funeral shroud (Why play?) Forces have been looting, my humanity Curfews have been curbing the end of liberty Hands of law have sorted through my identity But now this sound is brave and wants to be free, anyway to be free This is radio clash on pirate satellite This is not free Europe Nor an armed force network This is radio clash using audio ammunition This is radio clash can we get that world to listen This is radio clash using aural ammunition This is radio clash can we get that world to listen?
