Clockwork Skinhead Lyrics
Wearing braces, the red, white, and blue
Doing what he thinks he ought to do
Used to be a punk and a mod too
Or is it just a phase he's going through
Chorus
He's a Clockwork skinhead
Just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead - got no choice
He's a Clockwork skinhead
Just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead - One of the boys
Take him to the pub, buy him a beer
Tell him what he wants to hear
Wind him up like clockwork toy
Wants to be a man but he's just a boy
Chorus
Believes everything the papers say
What's he gonna be today
What is it hip to be
Will he be himself or will he copy me?
Doing what he thinks he ought to do
Used to be a punk and a mod too
Or is it just a phase he's going through
Just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead - got no choice
He's a Clockwork skinhead
Just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead - One of the boys
Tell him what he wants to hear
Wind him up like clockwork toy
Wants to be a man but he's just a boy
Chorus
What's he gonna be today
What is it hip to be
Will he be himself or will he copy me?
it's about a kid trying too hard to fit in.
or being a poser, going with what's in
I see it as either or
Yeah the same topic as Infa riot - 5 minute fashion "used to be a punk and a mod too" - completely identical as you can hear in that song. skinhead was trendy those day
Otherwise does anybody know which track is older ? This must be that.
