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

We have the right to choose
F                    G
   Between Labour and Tory
C                     Em

   Between coke and pepsi
C                      Em
No matter who you vote for
F                        G
  The government always win.
C                       Em
It's time to empower yourself
F                 G
When this sinks in. And they're...
C           Em
Taking over. Taking over.
F              G
Taking over again.


C                           Em
They're knocking at your door step

With their leaflets and their signs.

Taking Over

B             D             B                  D
The job centre is handing out bullet proof vests,
   B                              D
For years you've been telling me I'm trouble making scum, now 
B                D
I can be the best.
E                  G                           E
Well, if you love England with all your heart, she'll take you 
G
to the grave.
B              D                     B               D
If I can truly be the best then I'll never be your slave.



B                             D
 But I won't give my life away 
A                               B
 To a government that oppressed me.

No, I won't have blood on my hands
                          A
For the sake of the economy.

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

So let's steal a car
C   G          D
Hot-wire, crow-bar
C             G
And chase the sun
C            G   C
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

(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,

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,

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

When your nights go so quickly,
         E
And your days seem so long,

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,

by the lights of the Palace Arcade

Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
