Текст песни Bhindi Bhagee - Joe Strummer , Mescaleros

Well, I was walking down the high road
And this guy stops me
He'd just got in from New Zealand
And he was looking for mushy peas
I said, no, we hadn't really got 'em round here
I said, but we do got
Balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dall, halal and I'm walking down the road
We got rocksoul, okra, Bombay duck ra
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without, with it or without
Bagels soft or simply harder
Exotic avocado or toxic empenada
We got akee, lassi, somali waccy baccy
I'm sure back home you know
What tikka's all about, what tikka's all about
Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods
You can get inspiration along the highroad
Hommus, cous, cous in the jus of octopus
Pastrami and salami and lasagne on the go
Welcome stranger, there's no danger
Welcome to this humble neighborhood
There's balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dall, halal and I'm walking down the road
Rocksoul, okra, Bombay duck ra
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without
So anyway, I told him I was in a band
He said, "Oh yeah, oh yeah, what's your music like?"
I said, "It's um, um, well, it's kinda like
You know, it's got a bit of, um, you know"
Ragga, bhangra, two step tanga
Mini-cab radio, music on the go
Um, surfbeat, backbeat, frontbeat, backseat
There's a bunch of players and they're really letting go
We got, Brit pop, hip-hop, rockabilly, lindy hop
Gaelic heavy metal fans, fighting in the road
Ah, Sunday boozers, for chewing gum users
They got a crazy DJ and she's really letting go
Oh, welcome stranger
Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods
Well, I said, "There's plenty of places to eat"
He said, "Oh yeah, I'm pretty choosy"
You got balti, bhindi, strictly Hindi
Dall, halal, walking down the road
Rocksoul, okra, Bombay duck ra
Shrimp beansprout, comes with it or without
Just check it out
Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods
Neighborhoods, check out all that
Por da sol, por da sol
Walking down the high road
