The Card Cheat - The Clash
There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me."
It's only because he's a-lonely

If the keeper of time runs slowly
He won't be alive for long!

If he only had time to tell of all of the things he planned

With a card up his sleeve, what would he achieve?

It means nothing!

To the opium den and the barroom gin
In the Belmont chair playing violins

The gambler's face cracks into a grin
As he lays down the king of spades
But the dealer just stares
There's something wrong here, he thinks

The gambler is seized and forced to his knees
And shot dead
He only wanted more time

Away from the darkest door

But his luck it gave in

As the dawn light crept in
And he lay on the floor

From the Hundred Year War to the Crimea

With a lance and a musket and a Roman spear

To all of the men who have stood with no fear
In the service of the King

Before you met your fate be sure you
Did not forsake your lover

May not be around anymore

There's a solitary man crying, "Hold me."
It's only because he's a-lonely

If the keeper of time runs slowly

He won't be alive for long!
