The Official Clash & Joe Strummer Thread

[Silvermedalmafia]

From Here to Eternity Live is a wicked good live album. The nice thing is it isn't just one concert, so you get a spectrum from their whole career.



And I have no Idea what the difference is on the anniversary edition, I have London Calling on vinyl, original copy. Thats just how cool I am.

[sketchyjoe]

There's an extra disc of alternate versions and demos on the Anniversary edition.

[Rise Me Up]

i bought the singles today and its Awesome (capital A)

[Silvermedalmafia]

There's an extra disc of alternate versions and demos on the Anniversary edition.
hmm, I might pick that up so I can have the extras and a CD version.

[guns_of_brixton]

There's an extra disc of alternate versions and demos on the Anniversary edition.

And a dvd, and some booklets of stuff.

[Forest_Fire]

do you have it, sean?






(sean, right? and combatrock*bass = travis? I should know this by now)

[CombatRock]

yes im travis...

i think the next clash cd im gunna get is going to be Live From Here to Enternity

[Forest_Fire]

I think the next cd I'm going to be will be streetcore...



but I might not buy a cd for a while becuase I have to save up money to buy a new bass because I broke mine... :upset:

[CombatRock]

how did you break it?..what kind of bass you getting

[Forest_Fire]

I'm getting a fender jazz bass


My squier P bass just kind of fell apart. The input thing fell out and is lost, and the top strap thing fell off, and I think there's a crack somehwere.


I suppose I could get it repaired... but I want a new bass

[CombatRock]

sweet i love jazz basses...wonder if paul ever played on a jazz, i know he didnt own one though

[guns_of_brixton]

do you have it, sean?






(sean, right? and combatrock*bass = travis? I should know this by now)

Yea, I've got it. If you wanna get it, you should get Westway first, cause its a must-have.

[guns_of_brixton]

Thats kind of what happened to my squier strat, so I got a hollow Ibanez artcore then a Fender standard strat. When I was at the guitar store I was playing London Calling on a Telecaster and it sounded perfect.

[White Riot!]

Tele's are awesome. The neck pickup is very warm and the bridge pickup as very bright and hot.

I dont like Jazz basses they are a bit bright , i feel.

The P bass is warm and thumpy and has a ton of low end.

Mick played leads on a stratocaster for straight to hell.

Simonon Played a J Bass on The Magnificent Seven I believe.

if you have the chance, get the anniversary version cause it's awesome.the cd with the vanilla tapes is not something i really listen to everyday, but once in a while i feel like listening to it.the dvd is awesome.i'd pay 50$ (that what it cost in canadian dollar anyway so 13$ for it is cheap huh) just to see guy stevens in studio with the guys throwing chairs and mick's face when guy attacks him while he plays.

[obese_breasts]

How did this thread get so big?

[AIRIC]

People like the Clash way to much.

[Rise Me Up]

[SantaDuJuan]

if you don't like them, why do you post.
Because Eric takes after me.

[CombatRock]

I think Mick might've also used a strat on Armagideon Time, because it sounds dead-on when I play it on mine.

And I'm not sure about Paul using a J Bass on Magnificent 7, but it is possible.

[AChildAndHerLawnMower]

2 months, 91 pages. Nice.

[sketchyjoe]

if you don't like them, why do you post.
It's a discussion thread. THat's his opinion of The Clash. It's not the "Only post here if you love The Clash" thread.

Wow. You really pwn3d her Joe.

[sketchyjoe]

You can shut up too.

[SantaDuJuan]

You can shut up too.

Mean. :(

[CombatRock]

in my history class we were waching this video on the history of radio waves. and it when one of the first radio waves was sent from london this old guy goes "london calling"

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I think it was some kind of radio program in London that started out like that.

[Forest_Fire]

Does anyone know if Clash on Broadway is worth buying? I think it's expensive

[sketchyjoe]

What I've heard is good quality and there's an absolute shitload of songs on it.

[CombatRock]

Does anyone know if Clash on Broadway is worth buying? I think it's expensive


is it a live cd..if so get it!

[guns_of_brixton]

What I've heard is good quality and there's an absolute shitload of songs on it.

Yea, I think it has like 50 songs, and a handful of live stuff. I've never seen it at a store though.

[sketchyjoe]

It's in all the record stores round here.

[guns_of_brixton]

I've only seen it on Ebay and Amazon.

[Forest_Fire]

I've seen it at FYE and Best Buy and local stores.


Last time I saw it, it was on sale for $32.99 I think

[sketchyjoe]

On the TV Bez from the Happy Mondays was wearing that Passion is a Fashion shirt that Joe has.

[metty16]

What does "clash on broadway" have that their essentials album didn't?

[sketchyjoe]

Live stuff.


Joe Strummer's on the TV at the moment.

[CombatRock]

[cheeser_1]

the joe strummer channel.

[Coma_Girl]

On the TV Bez from the Happy Mondays was wearing that Passion is a Fashion shirt that Joe has.
i love this shirt so much.

[guns_of_brixton]

I've never seen that shirt.

[Coma_Girl]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/xfull_collapse/clash/joephotovrmtnice.jpg
now you can see it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Its awesome :cool:. I always thought it was cool how the Clash made their own clothing.

[CombatRock]

my friend made his own spider man costume

[guns_of_brixton]

my friend made his own spider man costume

:lol:

I saw your Clash shirt in the profile thread. My friend has the same one :thumb:.

[Coma_Girl]

Its awesome :cool:. I always thought it was cool how the Clash made their own clothing.
i stole their idea and started writing stuff in the back of my shirt with paint.it does look as good but its just because im not as cool as them.

[Forest_Fire]

I have that clash shirt too travis. There's a hole somewhere in it though

[guns_of_brixton]

i stole their idea and started writing stuff in the back of my shirt with paint.it does look as good but its just because im not as cool as them.

It probably still looks cool, I'm sure.

I wore my Clash shirt today, the one with the three of them against the wall.

[Coma_Girl]

find a picture.

[guns_of_brixton]

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/sean_of_brixton/979209_md.jpg

Its kind of a small pic, but it was the first one I found.

[Coma_Girl]

i want your shirt.my favorite picture is on this shirt.i'm gonna steal it from you.

[guns_of_brixton]

If I lived by you I'd let you have it :).

I don't wear it very much because its too big.

[Coma_Girl]

if it's too big for you, it would probably be too big for me as well...you can sew it to your size though.

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm bad at sewing :upset:. But I'm going to wear it again tomorrow :D.

[Coma_Girl]

send it to me, i'll sew it...and never send it back to you.

[guns_of_brixton]

:lol:

I could do that. It could be like... a birthday present for you! haha!

My friend sew pants and makes them really tight... i could make him do it for me...

[Coma_Girl]

i could make him do it for me...
not punk :rolleyes:

[guns_of_brixton]

not punk :rolleyes:

:p I'm not punk, so that makes me rebellious against punk and rebellion is punk! :D

I think I truly discovered how much of a Clash whore I was a few minutes ago. I was singing Clampdown in the shower. :)

[CombatRock]

i play bass along to my clash cds and act like im playing a concert, **** im pathetic :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

I do the same thing :D.

[guns_of_brixton]

Good morning Joe Strummer thread!

[CombatRock]

i think im going to write RIP Joe Strummer all over the batroom doors at my school



+ punk rawk points

[white_riot]

Does anyone who plays guitar in here find the solo in White Riot to be really hard. i seem to not be able to play it. i am just started to play again but it is really impossible to play it with a bit of speed.

[CombatRock]

not a guitarist..but i can play the solo in police and thievs

[white_riot]

I can play that solo to. Its pretty easy.

[CombatRock]

yea, all i need to do is learn the drums and i got the whole song down!

[Forest_Fire]

One of my favourite basslines ever

[guns_of_brixton]

I can play every instrument for the Guns of Brixton.

[white_riot]

your very talented.

[Forest_Fire]

I can't play drums on anything. I can only play a little bit of guitar, mainly folk punk stuff becuase my brother has an acoustic. Bass however, I can handle

[CombatRock]

I can play every instrument for the Guns of Brixton.


does that song even have guitar?

[guns_of_brixton]

Yup, there's guitar in it.

[white_riot]

Guns of Brixton should be easy to play on guitar. i might acually be able to play it. awesomeness

[guns_of_brixton]

I can't play drums on anything. I can only play a little bit of guitar, mainly folk punk stuff becuase my brother has an acoustic. Bass however, I can handle

I'm a pretty good drummer. I usually play reggae stuff or classic rock sounding songs on drums. I'm not very fast on the hi-hat.

[guns_of_brixton]

Guns of Brixton should be easy to play on guitar. i might acually be able to play it. awesomeness

Its only 3 chords. Two minor chords (i forgot what theyre called) and then a G.

I can play Janie Jones on all 3 instruments too, but its insanely easy.

I havent tried Brand New Cadillac on drums, but I could probably do it ( i already know the guitar and bass).

[white_riot]

does anyone know what Topper is doing these days.

I seem to find it hard to pick the strum of songs.

[CombatRock]

I'm a pretty good drummer. I usually play reggae stuff or classic rock sounding songs on drums. I'm not very fast on the hi-hat.


we should start a band im looking for a drummer!!!





/to bad you dont live in texas :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

I could move to Texas! But I don't own drums anyway, I use my cousin's alot though.

[white_riot]

Can anyone give me any clues on how ti pick the strum of songs or is it just natural.

[guns_of_brixton]

Can anyone give me any clues on how ti pick the strum of songs or is it just natural.

Ehh, I taught myself all iof the music stuff I know, and it kind of came natural. Sorry :upset:.

[CombatRock]

Can anyone give me any clues on how ti pick the strum of songs or is it just natural.


i would help you...but i play bass

[Coma_Girl]

I can play every instrument for the Guns of Brixton.
even the weird "bdooooing" sound?

[guns_of_brixton]

even the weird "bdooooing" sound?

:lol:

No, I don't know how to play the boinger.

[SantaDuJuan]

Guns of Brixton should be easy to play on guitar. i might acually be able to play it. awesomeness

I can play any Clash song, really any Punk song on percussion.

pwn3d

[guns_of_brixton]

I can play any Punk song on percussion.
pwn3d

...and that takes real talent :rolleyes:.

EDIT: I'm the new Clash whore!

[SantaDuJuan]

...and that takes real talent :rolleyes:.

EDIT: I'm the new Clash whore!

It doesn't really.
But it takes some time to be able to play some songs at the speed of what it is to be played.

[Forest_Fire]

haha I'm waaaay behind you three on posts


I've never really gotten a good chance to play percussions. I'm trying to get my cousin to get a drum set becuase his parents are rich, but he won't

[guns_of_brixton]

It doesn't really.
But it takes some time to be able to play some songs at the speed of what it is to be played.

Most Clash songs are fairly easy to play until London Calling. Lover's Rock is very tricky, and so are the fast hi-hat parts of Clampdown and Train in Vain. Revolution Rock too.

[guns_of_brixton]

haha I'm waaaay behind you three on posts


I've never really gotten a good chance to play percussions. I'm trying to get my cousin to get a drum set becuase his parents are rich, but he won't

Haha most of my family(extended) is rich, except for mine. They all play instruments (the ones that are old enough to) and I pwn all of them :D. Granted, I'm also the oldest. But they'll never touch my MIck Jones abilities.

[CombatRock]

[guns_of_brixton]

Keith Levine could be know as the Guy who took Paul's spot at Rehersal Rehersals!

EDIT: only 5 pages to go Travis!

[Coma_Girl]

Haha, I was listening to Remote Control during 2nd block and the kid next to me got pissed and made me turn it off. :mad:

[Forest_Fire]

Haha, we had standardized testing today. i listened to against me! while we were doing the test becuase my homerooms teacher's an idiot. And we had 3 hours to do a 40 minute timed test.... :amaze:


I didn't have any clash with me becuase I let someone borrow my essential clash and london calling was at home... but I wasn't really in the mood for them anyway. Just for AM! and Black Cross

[The Reincarnation Of Hendrix]

Im a big fan of the Clash especially London Callin which is a great album full of cracking songs

My favourite song has got to be Complete Control its got so much emotion and raw energy!!

[the101er]

Yea, I remember it.



Haha, I was listening to Remote Control during 2nd block and the kid next to me got pissed and made me turn it off. :mad:

:lol: we were playing Streetcore :thumb: in Business Studies thru the cd player and some kid who's really into emo complained and made us turn it off because it was "interfering" with his *crap* music :lol: What a n00b

[Coma_Girl]

i dont know why london calling is everyone's favorite album...its a really really great album, but the clash is way better.it must be me then.

[guns_of_brixton]

:lol: we were playing Streetcore :thumb: in Business Studies thru the cd player and some kid who's really into emo complained and made us turn it off because it was "interfering" with his *crap* music :lol: What a n00b

:lol: What an idiot. I'm sure he was enjoying Streetcore deep down inside.

And to the guy who said Complete Control had a ton of emotion, I agree.

[Coma_Girl]

you have to be smart to enjoy streetcore.he probably wasnt.

[CombatRock]

Haha, we had standardized testing today. i listened to against me! while we were doing the test becuase my homerooms teacher's an idiot. And we had 3 hours to do a 40 minute timed test.... :amaze:

[guns_of_brixton]

Anybody Hear Joe Strummer singing "aint Got No reason", I hear that its in Rude Boy, but if yea havnt heard it, its got Joe PLaying the Piano and singing

I think that only 2 or 3 people on this entire forum have seen Rude Boy, and I'm not one of them.

[TheNowhereman42]

so today I'm reclining on a big cushy seat at a friend's house smoking a Black & Mild, sippng on a JD and Coke, and listening to Silver and Gold. When the song ended, I couldn't help but sigh and say "oh, what a life we live".

It was a moment.

[CombatRock]

Hello, I'm the clash thread police.You're under arrest.

I agree. I think it is better than London calling.

[CombatRock]

Sandinista could have been a really good 14 track album.

pssh, London Calling > The Clash > GEER > Sandinista! (has lots of bad songs, but tons of good ones too) > Combat > CtC

[CombatRock]

the thing is i have never heard the whole sandinista album

[TheNowhereman42]

or all 3 sandanista albums rather

[White Riot!]

Sandanista is cool

The Magnificent Seven is a f.uck cool song

Ring! Ring! It's 7:00 A.M.!
Move y'self to go again

Cold water in the face
Brings you back
to this awful place

Knuckle merchants and you bankers, too
Must get up an' learn those rules

Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet

A.M., the F.M. the P.M. too
Churning out that boogaloo

Gets you up and gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?

Gimme Honda, Gimme Sony
So cheap and real phony!

Hong Kong dollars and Indian cents
English pounds and Eskimo pence!

You lot! ....What?
Don't stop! Give it all you got!

You lot! What?
Don't stop! Yeah!

Working for a rise, better my station
Take my baby to sophistication

She's seen the ads, she thinks it's nice
Better work hard - I seen the price

Never mind that it's time for the bus
We got to work - an' you're one of us

Clocks go slow in a place of work
Minutes drag and the hours JERK!

(When can I tell 'em wot I do?
In a second, maaan...oright Chuck!)

Wave bub-bub-bub-bye to the boss
It's our profit, it's his loss

But anyway lunch bells ring
Take one hour and do your thanng!
Cheeesboiger!

What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kickin' Gypsies on the pavement!

Now the news - snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets out of hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do - in T.V. land!

You lot! What? Don't stop. Huh?

So get back to work
an' sweat some more
The sun will sink an'
we'll get out the door

It's no good for man
to work in cages
Hits the town,
he drinks his wages
You're frettin', you're sweatin'

But did you notice you ain't gettin'?
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To take your car outta that gear
Don't you ever stop long enough to start?
To get your car outta that gear
Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels
Came to the checkout at the 7-11
Marx was skint - but he had sense
Engels lent him the necessary pence

What have we got? Yeh-o, magnificence!!

Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
Went to the park to check on the game
But they was murdered by the other team
Who went on to win 50-nil
You can be true, you can be false
You be given the same reward
Socrates and Milhous Nixon
Both went the same way - through the kitchen
Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
Who's more famous to the billion millions?
News Flash: Vacuum Cleaner Sucks Up Budgie
Oooohh...bub-bye

Magnificence!!

[CombatRock]

righteous, the call up is probley my favroite song on Sandinsita

[white_riot]

I haven't heard many songs on Sandinista. Is it better than Combat Rock because that album isn't that good in my opinion.

[TheNowhereman42]

yeah its better but I only liked a few songs on Combat

[guns_of_brixton]

Charlie Don't Surf is one of the best songs on Sandinista.

London Calling>The Clash>Sandinista>GEER>Combat Rock

I didn't even put the-album-that-must-not-be-named.

[CombatRock]

i dont like Charlie Dont Surf, mick sounds gay int hat song, litteraly

[sketchyjoe]

sketchyjoe = 610
coma girl = 610
white riot = 590
combatrock*bass = 590

[CombatRock]

[sketchyjoe]

Yes.

[CombatRock]

i came in last i should be ashamed of myself :(

[sketchyjoe]

The fact that the people who came last got 59/65 shows hopw much everyone knows about The Clash.

And I think Ska Pirate did worse than you.

[Forest_Fire]

I think I did too, but I don't remember what I got

[CombatRock]

The fact that the people who came last got 59/65 shows hopw much everyone knows about The Clash.


hm.. i dont understand what your saying

[sketchyjoe]

59/65 is not a bad score.

[CombatRock]

[sketchyjoe]

You lost. You're a failure. You suck at Clash knowledge.

Compared to everyone who beat you anyway.

[TheNowhereman42]

Charles Lindburg is buried in Hawai'i!

[TheNowhereman42]

Oh my, I think I may visit that church everytime I go to england, it's right near my grandma's house and nearby theres a great place to go mountain boarding.

If its the one I'm thinking of that is, I'll ask my mom later or something.

[Coma_Girl]

never went to england and never will. :upset:

[sketchyjoe]

Oh my, I think I may visit that church everytime I go to england, it's right near my grandma's house and nearby theres a great place to go mountain boarding.

I though I was the only mountainboarder here.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

never went to england and never will. :upset:
Why never will?

[Coma_Girl]

well, maybe someday, but not soon causeim broke ans scared of planes.and boats.

[white_riot]

Next year i hope to go to England because i will be finished school. i only have $3000 though.

[Coma_Girl]

i guess that when you have friends or family there it's easier to go, cause you don't have to pay for hotels...but hotels are not punk enough, so you can just sleep on a park or something.

[Forest_Fire]

and besides... worst they got there is uhh.. drive-by arguments




I want to go to england someday. The college I'm looking at going to has a program where you go to the england campus for a year. It'd be awesome to see some of the places the clash played in and stuff

[Coma_Girl]

the place i really wanna go is Rebel's Wood.It's somewhere in Europe...And I want to ride in this Joe Strummer train.

[Forest_Fire]

What is Rebel's Wood?

[sketchyjoe]

At my Flogging Molly gig they dedicated a song to "Joe Strummer & Johnny Cash"

[CombatRock]

What is Rebel's Wood?

a forest deticated to joe, andy has the full story of it

[CombatRock]

this fourm is on the second page, were are you andy sean dustin!

[Forest_Fire]

I'll be gone all of today and probably tomorrow. Don't get to the 100th page while I'm gone.. :)

[Nowhereman42]

hey, lets get to page 100 while he's gone

[Nowhereman42]

I though I was the only mountainboarder here.

I'm too poor to buy one myself, but I go with friends alot, we go up to Big Bear because in the summer all the ski slopes are converted to mountain bike/board trails, and they run the chairlifts so you get nice big runs.

[sketchyjoe]

I have a very cheap crappy one.

[CombatRock]

why did you get banned?

[Nowhereman42]

I posted a bunch in one of those stupid noob threads

[Nowhereman42]

its only for a couple days

[the101er]

:lol: What an idiot. I'm sure he was enjoying Streetcore deep down inside.

And to the guy who said Complete Control had a ton of emotion, I agree.

Everyone else was, so i dont know what his problem was. :amaze:

All in a Day i think was the song :thumb:

[Jessizzle]

Woah Thats awesome that you guys can talk about the same guy for almost 100 pages.
I like the clash but i never really "got into" Joe Strummer. but he must be great if you guys talk about him this much.

[Nowhereman42]

no we just have nowhere else on MX to go :(

[Jessizzle]

Haha, that could be true..

[CombatRock]

Woah Thats awesome that you guys can talk about the same guy for almost 100 pages.
I like the clash but i never really "got into" Joe Strummer. but he must be great if you guys talk about him this much.

its not really just about Joe, its anything to do with the Clash or members of the Clash

[Forest_Fire]

[sketchyjoe]

yeah but i won't tell...all i can say is that it's one of the best song ever.
But The Clash didn't sing Bananaphone.

[Coma_Girl]

i just totally changd my mind.i was supposed to take get down moses.

i choosed this song cause it's one of the best mescaleros song...and the lyrics are really good.It's about how even in Europe people are not free and there's no way you can be free except if you're always on the run or something like that.I'll try to find the interview with Joe...he's better than me at explaining what he meant in his song. :rolleyes:

Yalla Yalla - The Mescaleros

Well, so long liberty
Let's forget you didn't show
Not in my time
But in our sons' and daughters' time
When you get the feeling
Call and you got a room
Meantime, we're cutting our hands at the ke-bab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all out best tai-kwon-do moves
On a barrel of beer
We trying to get a signal on a Ragga F.M.
Do the D.T.I., bust CNN
Sucking the wine right outta the vine
Spitting it out again

Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Drive, drive, drive
Distance no object, rasta for I

Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou

Kool Moe Dee was in the treacherous three
There's old school, new school and Brownie McGee
Going underwater to explode
Now night is falling on the grove
You can but dream

And I hear
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou

Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
There's jumbalaya on the Bayou tonight in the grove

Well, so long liberty
Just let's forget you never showed
Not in my time
But in our sons' and daughters' time
When you get the feeling
Call and you got a room
Meantime, we're cutting our hands on the ke-bab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all those best tai-kwon-do moves
On a barrel of beer
Trying to get a signal through from Ragga F.M.
Do the D.T.I., bust CNN
Sucking the swine right outta the vine
Spitting it back again

Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Groovin', lets cut out of the scene, go groovin'
Drive, drive
Distance no object, rasta for I

Somebody got a vision of a homeland
From a township, from a township window
Through a township window
Some crazy widow dares to have a vision
Starts seething, like
Seeming like a homeland on the plain
Not in focus yet
Seeming like a homeland on the plain
Not a focus yet

I'm groovin' with a free syle nation
And maximum density

And I say
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Jumbalaya on the Bayou

Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Yalla, yalla, ya-li-oo, whoa
Yalla, yalla, yalla, ya-lah
Only to shine, shine in gold, shine

[CombatRock]

yay 100th page! , how long is that song andy? it had a bunch of lyrics

[CombatRock]

[/ - Allen Ginsberg lyrics]

/ do the worm on the accropolis
/ slamdance the cosmopolis
/ enlighten the populace

hungry darkness of living
who will thirst in the pit?
/ hooked in metropolis
she spent a lifetime deciding
how to run from it
/ addicts of metropolis
once fate had a witness
and the years seemed like friends
/ girlfriends
her babies can dream
but dreams begin like the end
/ shot into eternity
/ methadone kitty
/ iron serenity

ghetto defendant
it is heroin pity
not tear gas nor baton charge
that stops you taking the city

/ strung out committee
walled out of the city
clubbed down from uptown
sprayed pest from the nest
run out to barrio town
/the guards are itchy
forced to watch at the feast
then sweep up the night
flipped pieces of coin
/ broken bottles
exchanged for birthright
/ grafted in a jiffy

/ strung out committee
/ sitting pretty
/ graphed in a jiffy
/ no pity, pretty

the ghetto prince of gutter poets
was bounced out of the room
/ jean arthur rimbaud
by the bodyguards of greed
for disturbing the tomb
/ 1873
his words like flamethrowers
/ paris commune
burnt the ghettos in their chests
his face was painted whiter
and he was laid to rest
/ died in marseille
/ buried in charleville
/ shut up

soap floods oil in water
all churn in the wake
on the great ship of progress
the crew can't find the brake
klaxons are blaring
the admiral snores command
submarines boil in oceans
while the armies fight with suns

"Ghetto Defendant"

i chose this song cos uh..idk really i just like it allot at the moment, enjoy

[TheNowhereman42]

are we just supposed to post our favorite clash/strummer/mescaleros song?

[CombatRock]

yes



dosnt have to be your favroite...i did mine cos people dont talk about this song much, i was going to post guns of brixton but everyone knows that lyrics.

[TheNowhereman42]

Revolution rock, it is a brand new rock
A bad, bad rock, this here revolution rock

Careful how you move, mac, you dig me in me back
An’ I’m so pilled up that I rattle
I have got the sharpeest knife, so I cut the biggest slice
But I have no time to do battle

Everybody smash up your seats and rock to this
Brand new beat
This here music mash up the nation
This here music cause a sensation
Tell your ma, tell your pa everything’s gonna be all right
Can’t you feel it? don’t ignore it
Gonna be arl-right

Revolution rock, I am in a state of shock
So bad, bad rock, this here revolution rock

Careful how you slide, clyde, all you did was glide
And you poured your beer in me hat
With my good eye on the beat, living on fixation strete
And I ai’t got no time for that

Revolution Rock <3

[Coma_Girl]

[CombatRock]

[sketchyjoe]

Their talking about the music they make. Whatever genre it is.

[CombatRock]

[sketchyjoe]

It's a cover but that's what I take it as.

[TheNowhereman42]

you didnt even post my favorite part of revlution rock...

el-clash combo :lol:

I got lazy and just copy pasted off a lyrics site :upset:

[Coma_Girl]

and my history project is almost finish.my teacher will hate me...last time i did one on the sex pistols and she was mad, and now i'm doing one on how the society influenced the punk movement.

[sketchyjoe]

Spanish songs in Andalucia
The shooting sites in the days of '39
Oh, please, leave the ventana open
Fredrico Lorca is dead and gone
Bullet holes in the cemetery walls
The black cars of the Guardia Civil
Spanish bombs on the Costa Rica
I'm flying in a DC 10 tonight

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón

Spanish weeks in my disco casino
The freedom fighters died upon the hill
They sang the red flag
They wore the black one
But after they died it was Mockingbird Hill
Back home the buses went up in flashes
The Irish tomb was drenched in blood
Spanish bombs shatter the hotels
My senorita's rose was nipped in the bud

Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón

The hillsides ring with "Free the people"
Or can I hear the echo from the days of '39?
With trenches full of poets
The ragged army, fixin' bayonets to fight the other line
Spanish bombs rock the province
I'm hearing music from another time
Spanish bombs on the Costa Brava
I'm flying in on a DC 10 tonight

Spanish songs in Andalucia, Mandolina, oh mi corazon
Spanish songs in Granada, oh mi corazon

[Coma_Girl]

this song is so good.

[CombatRock]

i can understand the spanish parts of that song now, im taking spanish in school

[Coma_Girl]

its "clash spanish" :rolleyes: but they say that just because they know they couldnt speak spanish

[CombatRock]

yea, there spanish isnt that great

[Forest_Fire]

I couldn't decide what song to do, so I went to get a cookie. When I came back to my computer, Hate and War was playing, so I'm doing that

"Hate and War"

Hate and war - the only things we got today

An' if I close my eyes
They will not go away
You have to deal with it
It is the currency

Hate...hate...hate...

The hate of a nation
A million miles from home
An' get war from the junkies
Who don't like my form

I'm gonna stay in the city
Even when the house fall down
I don't dream of a holiday
When hate an' war come around

Hate and war...

I have the will to survive
I cheat if I can't win
If someone locks me out
I kick my back in

An' if I get aggression
I give it to them two time back
Every day it's just the same
With hate an' war on my back

Hate and war - I hate all the English
Hate and war - they're just as bad as wops
Hate and war - I hate all the politeness
Hate and war - I hate all the cops

I wanna walk down any street
Looking like a creep
I don't care if I get beat up
By any Kebab Greek

[sketchyjoe]

It was between Spanish Bombs and The Card Cheat for me.

[CombatRock]

i looooooooove the card cheat

[Coma_Girl]

i looooooove hate and war.
it was between long shadow, yalla yalla, get down moses, tony adams, cool'n'out, lost in the supermarket, guns of brixton and magnificent 7 for me.the problem with the clash and the mescaleros is that they both have way too much great songs.

and ive noticed that tony adams (rock art) begins with 'late news breakin', this just in...' and that cool'n'out (global) also begins with the exact same 'late news breakin', this just in...'

[CombatRock]

im still going to get me a Meskie cd when i get some money

[Coma_Girl]

you don't even have a meskies cd? :smash:
