Kill Time - The Clash video free download

Kill Time from The Clash´s Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg.

RPFFB is what was to become Combat Rock with a couple of songs that didn´t make it to that masterful album, Kill Time being one of them.

Some people say Mick Jones has confirmed this song´s actual name to be Idle In The Kangaroo Court W1, but it´s listed as Kill Time and that´s what I´ll call it until Mick sends me an angry email or something thereof.

Pretty damn good song this one too, though perhaps a bit weaker than say The Beautiful People Are Ugly Too.

(Un)Interesting trivia, according to Wikipedia a Kangaroo Court is "A judicial or quasi-judicial proceeding, or a group which conducts such proceedings, which is without proper authority, abusive, or otherwise unjust."

A bad thing no doubt.

Oh, and just in case anyone misses it, the Go Cat Go is ripped right of from Ted Nugent´s 1977 hit Cat Scratch Fever. Nugent was a frequent target of attacks from The Clash, including dedicating I´m So Bored With the USA to him (along with Aerosmith and at a special occasion The Blue Oyster Cult) and calling him...unnice things, no doubt due to his conservative linkings, Republican ties and tendency to write stuff about...nothing at all really. Which makes sense, since it´s really hard to write a conservative rock and roll song. Obey The Goverment, Shoot The Deers, Kill The Fags...you see, it just doesn´t sound good.

Oh sorry, I´m rambling. Anyway.

Btw, just for the record, I know Idle In The Kangaroo Court W1 is already on Youtube, but I know of at least one person who still couldn´t find this song (what a dork ey :p).

Lyrics:

"Shout everybody shout!

Hey waiter!

I want in, I want out

Hey jailer!

Run walk this way, that way

Buy a paper

Or reach easy on your knees, for later

Go Cat Go!

That message you run

Is gonna be a make or break-er

Zoom Zoom!

Now I am a one man survey team, from Labour

I am studying you city types' behaviour

Hey girl, this opinion poll, you can't wait huh?

Perhaps I'll flee my bench, to chase her

Go Cat Go!

In bitching hour!

Go grab your wings, to chase her

You sold your time but, I still got mine

I'm from the spare-part pile, 'wanna see my

Licence To Kill Time!

The shows tonight

Will close tonight

See you later

The efficient sweep

Will wash the streets safer

From the rush-hour crush to the empty square I'll wait here

And the b-line c-line d-line three-line breaker

Go Cat Go!

In the spillage hour

Everybody's going, as if they'll get there later

Yep!

You've sold your time but, I've still got mine

I'm from the spare-part pile, 'wanna see my

Licence To Kill Time!

Kill Time

Dali melts it

Arnie Pauly - to be an agitator

Arnie Pauly - and someone's left the paper

Arnie Pauly - to be an agitator

Arnie Pauly Pauly,

Someone's left their paper

Shout everybody shout, hey waiter!

I want in, I want out! Hey Jailer!

Run walk this way, that way

Buy a paper

Or reach easy on your knees, for later

And the b-line c-line a-line free-line

Hard-line, best-line, left-line, fine-line

Breaker."
