Beyond the Pale
Lyricist:Mick Jones, John Mellor
If you don't know where I come from You better steer clear of my trail From the dark side of London That's way beyond the pale
My grandpa came from Russia Stowed away hidden in some bales He took my grandma dancing To the air raid sirens wail
Then Saint George used his sword on the immigrant poor 'Cause he can't kill no dragon If I was in those shoes I'd say Soweto's gonna happen here too
I gotta get a message through Tell everybody the news And with the winter coming
Crossing all the borders Through the smoke of war and rain Papers out of order on a military train A coat, a bag, a baby, status refugee These are the people of my family
Don't anybody know that this city was made Of immigrant blood and money If I was in those shoes A black shirt with playboy blues
I gotta get a message through Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Tell everybody the news And with the winter coming
Now there's a rocker in Vladivostok Got every side by Jerry Lee But for accidents of disorder That guy could well be me
I want everybody to know this I want everyone to hear Immigration built the nation You got a blood cross standing here
Now Saint George used his sword on the immigrant poor 'Cause he can't kill no dragon If I was in those shoes I'd say Soweto's gonna happen here too
I gotta get a message through Tell everybody the news And with the winter coming
Don't anybody know that the city was made Of immigrant blood and money If I was in those shoes A black shirt with playboy blues
I gotta get a message through Tell everybody the news And with the winter coming
