What's My Name? Lyrics
What the hell is wrong with me? I'm not
Who I want to be
I tired spot cream an' I tried it all I'm crawling up the wall!
What's my name naaaame...naaaame....naaaame....
I tried to join a ping-pong club, sign on the door said all full up!
I got nicked, fighting in the road an' the judge didn't even know
What's my name
Dad go pissed so I got clocked
Couldn't hear the Tannoy so he lost the lot
Offers Mum a bribe through the letter box
Drives you fucking mad
What's my name
Now I'm round the back of your house at night
Peeping in the window - are you sleeping tight?
I laugh at your locks with my celluloid strip
An' you won't know who came
What's my name
Who I want to be
I tired spot cream an' I tried it all I'm crawling up the wall!
I got nicked, fighting in the road an' the judge didn't even know
Couldn't hear the Tannoy so he lost the lot
Offers Mum a bribe through the letter box
Drives you fucking mad
Peeping in the window - are you sleeping tight?
I laugh at your locks with my celluloid strip
An' you won't know who came

love the opening riff.........i wish this song was longer
Apparently Keith Levine wrote this when he was in the Clash. He was like 16 or 17. It shows.
Teenage disillusionment, of course. The Manics did a great version of this song.
This song kicks ass I got the opening tabs and play them on my acoustic guitar genius a great short punk song. really simple on one string check it out if into playing guitar. I like the lyrics kinda creepy great stuff.
