    Rush for the change of atmosphere
    I can't go on so I give in
    Gotta get myself right outta here

    Mick Jones and BAD was so good at running with and fusing styles and reflecting the times . The song and clip were laced with all that was going on in the Manchester rave scene with elements of sampling , hip -hop, funk , post -punk , acid jazz, psychedelia - its all there . Brilliant.

      ​@@lowenbad Agreed about both points. Not sure about the UK, but they weren't that well known in the US and it's obvious since their music videos only have a few million views, same for Spotify song plays, though a bit more for a couple of songs. The top cities for where listeners live are all in the UK and Australia. I grew up in an area that had a station that played them and other UK indie/alt bands a lot so if you asked me then, I would have assumed they were pretty mainstream. I realized later that wasn't common in much of the US and many haven't heard their songs.

      @@the_letter_b they were one of the first rock bands that used samples and decks as part of the band’s overall sound…. Way back in the 80s! They are extremely influential to modern music, but not many people realize this. Personally, I like BAD just a bit more than The Clash. (Don’t kill me! Lol)
      My old band “Lowenbad” was very influenced by them… mainly because we were a rock/ soul band that integrated samples into our sound.

    The 90s are going to be great.
    I wish I could sing like that.
    "Fish?"

    "Hip."

    "Hip-hop anonymous?"

    If I have my time again
    I would do it all the same
    And not change a single thing
    Even when I was to blame
    For the heartache and the pain
    That I caused throughout my ears
    How I learned to be a man
    Through the laughter and the tears
    Situation no win
    Rush for a change of atmosphere
    I can't go on, so I give in
    Gotta get myself right outta here
    Now I'm fully grown
    And I know where it's at
    Somehow, I stayed thin
    While the other guys got fat
    All the chances that I've blown
    And the times that I've been down
    I didn't get too high
    Kept my feet on the ground
    Situation no win
    Rush for a change of atmosphere
    I can't go on, so I give in
    Gotta get myself right outta here
    Yes, yes, delightful, delightful
    Rush for a change of atmosphere
    Mm, I wish I could sing like that
    Not everything's singing, you know
    The only important thing these days is rhythm and melody
    Rhythm
    And melody
    And of all my friends
    You've been the best to me
    Soon will be the day
    When I repay you handsomely
    Broken hearts are hard to mend
    I know, I've had my share
    But life just carries on
    Even when I'm not there
    Situation no win
    Rush for a change of atmosphere
    I can't go on, so I give in
    Gotta get myself right outta here
    Situation no win
    Rush for a change of atmosphere
    I can't go on so I give in
    Gotta get myself right outta here
    Gotta get myself right
    Gotta get myself right
    Gotta get myself right
    Outta here
    Gotta get myself right
    Gotta get myself right
    Gotta get myself right
    Outta here

    I heard this song playing over the loud speaker tonight at, of all places, my local bottle shop (a shop that sells alcohol for all those non-Aussies). The guy serving me and I reminisced for a few moments about the film clip. I'd Shazamed it while waiting in line to remind myself to buy it on iTunes when I got home. Still great memories all these decades later.
