All the years combine they melt into a dream
A broken angel sings
from a guitar
In the end there's just a song
comes crying like the wind
through all the broken dreams
and vanished years
When all the cards are down
there's nothing left to see
There's just the pavement left
and broken dreams
In the end there's still that song
comes crying like the wind
down every lonely street
that's ever been
Stella Blue
I've stayed in every blue-light cheap hotel
Can't win for trying
Dust off those rusty strings just
one more time
Gonna make em shine
and nothing comes for free
There's nothing you can hold for very long
And when you hear that song
come crying like the wind
it seems like all this life
was just a dream
Stella Blue

Fuck yeah! Never heard anything off of Dick's Picks 19 (and I've heard a ton of em) - and this is a great, inspired version. And back-to-back with blogs about the oh-so unDEAD Clash! Righteous!
Now: when are the rest of all these punker types gonna drop some L and get on on board the Magic Bus too?
strange how The Clash and The Dead both covered "I Fought The Law".
Stop smoking pot!
Yeah! Stop smoking pot! Smoke banana peels instead!
Great version of a great song. Thanks from a guy with the sense to love both the Dead and the Clash - just like Jerry and Strummer did.
