Slant Six - Joe Strummer

Youth, money, success and power

Expressing your soul to critical acclaim

Now you’re insatiable--there's no stopping you

If something lasts for a minute--it's scored a hit with you

What are you gonna do for an encore?

C’mon baby after an act like that

People are gonna scream for more

You’ve got Juan-Les-Pins

You got the needle and the deep cellar wine

You’ve got the slow boat to China

You own part of South Carolina

How about wrapping your slant six

Around Inspiration Point?

Or I wanna be alone

That’s your other choice

You’ve got Juan-les-Pins

You’ve got the needles and the deep cellar wine

You’ve got the slow boat to China

You own part of South Carolina

That’s what you were to the crowd

The imprint is indelible

Who the hell cares what you are now

The soundtrack is too loud

And everything’s sweet except for

Avoiding books and magazines

What a fate to be imprisoned

At the height of your dreams

You’ve got Juan-les-Pins

You’ve got the needles and the deep cellar wine

You’ve got the slow boat to China

You own part of South Carolina
