They kicked me out of the metro train, gasping for air.
Guess we weren't wanted, me and my guitar

I wink at the bloke with the double bass, trying to get in
The poor sods crammed in there are raging.

Oh bless these holy strike days, let's go out
Let's walk the streets and get those shoes to wear out
Humming the tune of unrest coming from under the ground
And with the band make it sound, loud.

It's 20 to 8 and I'm not quite late, I'm on my way
dodging passers-by who look so mean and sad
I take out a fag and crack an allumette, but it's put out
by a tiny raindrop that's just falling

Oh bless these holy strike days, I'm soaking wet
Let's walk the streets and get this corduroy to fade
Let's make the tune of unrest swing against the rain
Let it fall down the drain, down

Better start speeding up now...

Thank god or whoever there I am at the studio door
Seems deserted and my feet are sore
Suddenly my phone starts to ring, it's my mate
Transports are blocked pal, no one's coming

Oh bless these holy strike days, let's go home
Let's have those kinky mod tunes sound through my headphones
Let's have a glass of red wine and stay awake all night
Tomorrow it will be allright, allright
