The Clash's, "Brand New Cadillac"
The Lyrics:
Driiiiiiiive!!!
Driiiiiiiive!!!
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
Yes she did!
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
She said, "Hey, come here, Daddy!"
"I ain't never comin' back!"
Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
C'mon, sugar, just come on back to me
She said, "Balls to you now Big Daddy."
Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
Oh c'mon, just hear my plea
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't coming back to me
Baby, baby drove up in a Cadillac
I said, "Jesus Christ! Where did you get that Cadillac?"
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't never coming back!
She said, she coming back!
She ain't never coming back!
She ain't never coming back!
She ain't never coming back!
Driiiiiiiive!!!
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
Yes she did!
My baby drove up in a brand new Cadillac
She said, "Hey, come here, Daddy!"
"I ain't never comin' back!"
Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
C'mon, sugar, just come on back to me
She said, "Balls to you now Big Daddy."
Baby, baby, won't you hear my plea?
Oh c'mon, just hear my plea
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't coming back to me
Baby, baby drove up in a Cadillac
I said, "Jesus Christ! Where did you get that Cadillac?"
She said, "Balls to you, Daddy."
She ain't never coming back!
She said, she coming back!
She ain't never coming back!
She ain't never coming back!
She ain't never coming back!
Why:
Wicked pissa cool maximum dance song, but ... She ain't never coming back!

The Clash's, "Julie's in the Drug Squad"
The Lyrics:
Its lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie
She giggles at the screen cos it looks so green
Theres carpets on the pavements
And feathers in her eye
But sooner or later, her new friends will realise
That Julie's been working for the drug squad
That Julie's been working for the drug squad
(She'd even look you in the eye)
.... And its ten years for you
Nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're still alive
Ali-i-ive
Oh
Ali-i-ive
Oh
They put him in a cell, they said you wait here
You've got the time to count all of your hair
You've got fifteen years
A mighty long time
You could have been a physicist
But now your name is on the mailbag list
Julie's been working for the drug squad
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad
Gumbo!
She giggles at the screen cos it looks so green
Theres carpets on the pavements
And feathers in her eye
But sooner or later, her new friends will realise
That Julie's been working for the drug squad
That Julie's been working for the drug squad
(She'd even look you in the eye)
.... And its ten years for you
Nineteen for you
And you can get out in twenty-five
That is if you're still alive
Ali-i-ive
Oh
Ali-i-ive
Oh
They put him in a cell, they said you wait here
You've got the time to count all of your hair
You've got fifteen years
A mighty long time
You could have been a physicist
But now your name is on the mailbag list
Julie's been working for the drug squad
'Cos Julie's been working for the drug squad
Gumbo!
Why:
Boppin' up tempo number with piano blues riffs, about ... stupidity, (chemically induced?) bad judgment, betrayal, ridiculous punitive drug laws, and ruined lives. Gumbo!

The Clash's, "Train in Vain"
The Lyrics:
Say you stand by your man Tell me something I dont understand You said you love me and thats a fact Then you left me, said you felt trapped Well some things you can explain away But my heartaches in me till this day Chorus Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way All the times When we were close Ill remember these things the most I see all my dreams come tumbling down I wont be happy without you around So all alone I keep the wolves at bay There is only one thing that I can say Chorus You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me Did you stand by me No, not at all Now I got a job But it dont pay I need new clothes I need somewhere to stay But without all these things I can do But without your love I wont make it through But you dont understand my point of view I suppose theres nothing I can do Chorus You must explain why this must be Did you lie when you spoke to me? Did you stand by me Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way Did you stand by me No, not at all Did you stand by me No way
Why:
I'm stunned this wasn't already on the list!! It's one of my favorite songs, it is incredibly upbeat and makes you smile and wiggle around.. but read the lyrics.. not so happy!
