The Vietcong purposely got the GIs hooked on obsession. They came back
really into Star Trek.
As detailed by Joe in every song on
Sandinista!.
Ring ring, seven am
You see? A drug
ring. The seven is a clear reference to the Marshall Court which had seven justices on it. They ruled in 1833 that the Bill of Rights does not apply to the actions of state governments.
Hitsville UK was all about Heroin. Taking another hit.
Which pathetic criminal first fudged the lyric sheets from what is clearly sung on the record:
Drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs
Drugs drugs drugs drugs drugs
The original lyrics before a record company insurgent changed them.
They cried the tears, they shed the fears,
Up and down the land,
They stole some pills or used dodgy deals
on anything contraband
Without even the slightest hope of getting all that high
Just as if, as if there was, a Hitsville in U.K.,
I know the boy was all alone, til the Hitsville hit U.K.
They say some new gear will always emerge in time,
When lightening hits your pocket
Its a fast track to see Lemmy
No expense accounts, or lunch discounts
Just hanging around the local shark
The band went in, 'n knocked 'em dead, and scored another line
More slimy deals, with smarmy eels - in Hitsville U.K.
Lets shake 'n say, we'll operate - in Hitsville U.K.
The mutants, creeps and musclemen,
Are shaking like a leaf,
It blows a hole in the cash flow
When you've blown all your dough for the week,
You sit in doom, in your living room - in Hitsville U.K.
No consumer trials, or time to score, in Hitsville U.K.,
Now the boys and girls are all alone,
Now the Hitsville's hit U.K.
