The Clash - Long Time Jerk [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
Going to scrape the trouble off my boots!

[Verse 1]
As they were dancing in the evening
And the light shone through the trees
This girl my eye was following
Asked the band to play her a beat
Singing she'd do that long time jerk
She hit me where it hurts
Oh your heart
Now my heart will burst
Oh no
Ah, but it took me back to that wonderland
I witnessed long ago
Babbling words of preachers
Saying- "don't bury me no more"
Oh
And i've forgotten how to worry
And i don't know how to run
Against the odds i realize
This struggle could be won!
We dance

[Chorus]
Long time jerk
She did it to me first
Ohhh my heart
With that long time jerk
Ah! Say..... Do that long time jerk

[Verse 2]
Bring on those tapes from the past
They make you look better in a mirror
Feel that long time jerking
Between the taker and the giver
Feel that

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I've forgotten how to worry
And i don't know how to run
Against the odds i realize
This struggle could be fun!
Oh, through lanes and streets and houses
And reversing rush of time
She made me re-invent the world
Before inventing time
(Before inventing time)

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Long, long, long, long, long
Long time
Long time jerk
