Clockwork Skinhead

The 4-Skins are a working class Oi! punk rock band from the East End of London, England. Originally composed of Gary Hodges (vocals), 'Hoxton' Tom McCourt (guitar), Steve 'H' Hamer (bass) and Gary Hitchcock (drums), they formed in 1979 and disbanded in 1984 – although new line-ups formed in 2007 and 2008. Many of their songs dealt with violent topics, but the band has claimed they were discussing the realities of inner city life, not promoting violence. Other 4-Skins song topics include police harassment, political corruption, war and unemployment. more »

Wearing braces, the red, white, and blue
Doing what he thinks he ought to do
Used to be a punk and a mod too
Or is it just a phase he's going through

[Chorus]
He's a Clockwork skinhead
Just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead - got no choice
He's a Clockwork skinhead
Just a clockwork skinhead
Clockwork skinhead - One of the boys

Take him to the pub, buy him a beer
Tell him what he wants to hear
Wind him up like clockwork toy
Wants to be a man but he's just a boy

[Chorus]

Believes everything the papers say
What's he gonna be today
What is it hip to be
Will he be himself or will he copy me?
