The King Blues are a political band accredited for fusing ska and folk together with influences from punk rock. They originate from London, England and formed in 2004.  Their third full length album, Punk and Poetry, was released on the 17th of April 2011  Tariq Ali described the band's sounds as 'rough, radical music that should unsettle the rulers of this country. A new generation of musicians are challenging war-monger politicians and their courtiers'. Influences include Public Enemy, The Clash, The Specials, Black Flag and Minor Threat.

The King Blues est un groupe anglais originaire de Londres mêlant les genres ska, folk et punk.

Er glaubte wahrscheinlich nicht mal an Wiedergeburt, jedenfalls nicht so- aber es scheint als ob Bradley Nowell wieder da ist. Diesmal von der anderen Seite. Europa war eh mehr sein Ding. Und hier haben ein paar Schuljungs ihre Hausaufgaben aber mal so was von gemacht. Da dürfen sie ruhig auch weiterhin von Bradley Sublime Nowell abschreiben. So was gutes war lange nicht da: kritisch, politisch, lustisch 3 Wunscherfüllungen auf einmal! Doppeldaumen für The King Blues

(little breakdowny bit :P)
        G         Am      Em       D
Though we try so hard, they disdain us
        G         Am      Em       D
But these walls they can’t contain us

I Got Love

D                         Bm
I was classic bullying material strictly speaking
      D                     Bm
I was four foot tall with a three foot mohican
  D                                 Bm
I bunked off school and bought some tattoo ink
          G                             A
Engraved "Punk 4 life" on my arm with a safety pin.

I was sleeping in a park and selling The Big Issue
But this ain't no sob story, so don't reach for the tissue,
Cos these spanish punks took me under their wing;
Opened a squat in Clapham Common, they let me move in,

     E                               C#m
This place was fucking huge, I could barely believe my luck,
    E                  C#m
But it was no stranger to the odd ruck,
      E                        C#m
I was sharing a room with this bloke called Jeff,
       A                     B
He had rotting teeth and the world's world breath .
         D                       Bm
But we had such a time graffing up all the walls,
Day trips to brighton when the occasion called,
Drinking red wine and coke, playing our music loud,
        D                        A
On a shitty old tape player, we sung it proud

                 G
And we used to sing
                 D                A           Bm
If we hang the landlord from the top of the stairs,
G                       D             A
 We could live here forever without a care,
G                     D               A           Bm
 So let's hang the landlord from the top of the stairs,
            G         D        A
And we'll live like a millionaire,
Like a millionaire

Lets Hang The Landlord

G       D      Em
You can lean on me,
       C      G        D
Cry on my shouder,
       G      D    em
If Im Obelix,
       C      G        D  
You are my boulder,


C                        D                       Em         D
Well I ain't never seen such a big hard bastard cry like I did 
      G
that day,
C                                     D
He said I lost everything that ever meant anything and I 
Em       D            G
can?t go on living this way?,
C                             D
He slammed his pint down on the table and said 
Em     D                 G
I aint never drinking again?,
C                                                 
I put my hand on his shoulder, looked him square in the eye 
D
and I said listen my friend,






You can lean on me,
Cry on my shoulder,
If Im Obelix,
You are my boulder?

I said If you need a place to stay you can always come over,
I?ll clean out the front room and you can sleep on my sofa?,
He said I can only apologise if I seem out of touch,
The only reason I scream and shout is cos I care so much?

My Boulder

F
From the Firey pits of Camden Town
Dm
To elephant and castle underground
C
There ain't no teachers in the school
Bb
they're all out hustlin' playin' pool
F
The neighbors complain about the noise
Dm
There's girls in labour with tory boys
C
I say my prayers and go to bed
Bb
and wake up with a horses head


C
But if we lean on you, we are gonna fall

When it's all for one, and one for fuck all



CHORUS:
F                Dm      A              Bb
I will save the world, I will get the girl
I'll dismantle a ticking time bomb with just one second to spare
I will save the world, I will get the girl
And you will all point up at the sky as I fly right through the air

Save The World, Get The Girl

intro Em B Em B (listen to the song for the strumming pattern)


Am
We stood in front of tanks at Tiananmen Square,
      B
From Berlin to Chiapas we are everywhere,
      Am
And over the sirens of the police cars,
      B
You can hear us shout ?eThe streets are ours!?


B Em
In Seattle we chased out the World Trade Organisation,
B Em
On Mayday we gave Winston Churchill a mohican,
B Em
Kept the water for the people in Cochabamba,
B Em
Demanded autonomy on the dawn of NAFTA,
B Em
So send in the clowns, someone send in the clowns,
B Em
The black bloc, the antiFA and the undergrounds,
B Em
A big, pink, marching samba band,

The Streets Are Ours

C
They say it ain?t safe to go out anymore,
       Em
So the police station has bolted up the door,
    Am
The floor?s full of torn up betting stubs,
     F
They put televisions in my favourite pubs,
       C
So our homes get bulldozed, no-one watches,
     Em
They want soap operas and not soap boxes,
Am
    This town has left me high and dry,
F
    But I?ll be here til the day I die,


Am
   They tell me I?m just pissed off,
F
   Yeh maybe I?m pissed off,
Am
   I?d rather be pissed off,
F
   Than be pissed on,


C           Em                   Am
  So if the world burns down outside,
         F
And they battle on the frontline,
C                 Em
  My darling I?ll hold on tight,
Am                F
  My darling I?ll hold on tight,

The job centre is handing out bullet proof vests,

For years you've been telling me I'm trouble making scum, now

Blood On My Hands

G                        D              Em    
As you pack your clothes into a bag and head out in the rain
C                   G                   Am
I don't know if you really care whether you see me again
G                       D             Em
After twenty years I've learnt no one stays here for more than two
C                          G                      Am
So I wish you the best and when you're gone we'll have a drink for you

We're on the run
G              D
We ain't never done

As the bus drove over London Bridge the river shone so bright
You leant in and kissed my cheek I held your cold hand tight
In my head Bob Dylan sang about revolution in the air
And we danced right on through the night as if we were somewhere

So let's steal a car
Hot-wire, crow-bar
And chase the sun
We're on the run
We ain't never done

G       D             G
We know nothing lasts forever
G           D                    G
Now all the clubs have been shut down
G              D             G
Let's pack our bag and leave forever
G               D              G
There's nothing for us in this town

So let's steal a car
Hot-wire, crow-bar
And chase the sun
We're on the run
We ain't never done

We Aint Never Done

I'll sing for you.


Verse 2
  A
I swear like a sailor and I fight like a champ,
C#m
   Eat like a king and I drink like a tramp,
D
   Well I can't do construction,
E
   Find it hard to follow instructions,
A
Can't pick you up cause I ain't got a car,
C#m
   But I can write your name in the stars
      D
And I ain't got much to give to you,
            E
But there's one thing I can do,


Chorus 2
      A                       C#m
I can write you a poem, I can sing you a song,
        D                                   E
I don't know if that's important, might not pay the bills for long,
               A                            C#m
But I'll still write you a poem, I'll still sing you a song,
            D                   E
When you're feeling unimportant like you don’t belong,
              A
I'll sing for you.

Bababada bababababa


Chorus 3
      A                       C#m
I can write you a poem, I can sing you a song,
        D                                   E
I don't know if that's important, might not pay the bills for long,
               A                            C#m
But I'll still write you a poem, I'll still sing you a song,
            D                                     E
When you're life don’t seem worth living and it’s like you can’t go on,


Outro
          D
When your nights go so quickly,
         E
And your days seem so long,
              A
I'll sing for you.

We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A

Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith

Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

May have lost this battle, live to fight another day

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
