Song lyrics
You say you stand by your man
Tell me something, I don't understand
You said you love me, and that's a fact
And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things you can explain away
But the heartache's in me till this day

You didn't stand by me, no, not at all
You didn't stand by me, no way

All the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I can't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say

You didn't stand by me, no, not at all
You didn't stand by me, no way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me, no, not at all

Now I got a job, but it don't pay
I need new clothes, I need somewhere to stay
But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I won't make it through

But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

You didn't stand by me, no, not at all
You didn't stand by me, no way
Did you stand by me, no, not at all
Did stand by me, no way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?

Did you stand by me, no, not at all
Did you stand by me, no way
Did you stand by me, no, not at all
Did you stand by me, no way

Your right, this song kicks ass. But it's sad to think that it's the song I broke up with my girlfriend to.

Sounds good, I haven't paid much attention to the lyrics, but the music has a poppy upbeat vibe to it. You could even dance to it...

By far the catchiest song The Clash ever wrote. A great song for a (US) breakthrough single.

Good catchy fun. Couldn't agree more. Though the message is quite heartbreaking, it sounds very upbeat.

"I can't be happy without you round" - He sounds so happy whilst singing it to me, tinged with irony.
