Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros Lyrics

2. Sandpaper Blues

It's gonna boom Mariachi 
This really fine piece of madera 
And this will be on the counter 
Of the Pueblo Tabacalera 
Shape it up, Shape it up, 
All around the world 

And this keel could save a life 
When the storms hit the Pacific 
To make it really true 
You gotta be...specific 
Shape it up, shape it up, 
All around the world 

Keep the lantern bright 
Keep food upon the table 
If you shape it well tonight 
As well as you are able 
Keep the lantern bright 
Keep food upon the table 
If you shape it well tonight 
As well as you are able 
All around the world 

From the Yukon comes a cowboy 
De La Foret en La Montagne 
Puts a grease gun to his elbow, saying 
Never go against the grain, 
Never go against that grain 
Shoot the dog, Shoot the dog! 

Keep the lantern bright 
Keep food upon the table 
If you shape it well tonight 
As well as you are able 
Keep the lantern bright 
Keep food upon the table 
If you shape it well tonight 
As well as you are able 
Shape it up, Shape it up 
All around the world 

Keep the lantern bright 
Keep food upon the table 
If you shape it well tonight 
As long as you are able 
Shape it up, Shape it up 
All around the world 
All around the world
