There are already alot of debts :D. Joe might be a good president, but he would probably never run for a political job.

WorryRocker921 02-28-2005 07:37 PM

he's too cool for politics.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]I think Clash City Rockers has the most British sounding vocals I've ever heard, aside from Sex and Drugs an Rock n Roll by Ian Dury and the Blockheads.[/QUOTE]

WorryRocker921 02-28-2005 07:47 PM

yeah I'm not nearly obsessed as you guys...I wish I was :( I'm getting there.

My friends is making me the sweetest thing EVER. I was at Hot Topic (i dont know WHY i was there) and I saw a London Calling record and I just thought "I HAVE to get this" My one super-artistic friend is making me a purse out of the Record Cover. I'm not exactly sure how she does it, I saw her do it before, but It's going to be so hot.

This reminds me, I was walking around in downtown Chicago and I spotted an ORIGINAL vinyl of the Clash's s/t. My eyes light up when I saw it, and I must've stared at it for a few minutes from the store window. I had to have it, but I was broke :upset:.

WorryRocker921 02-28-2005 07:52 PM

yeah none of my friends have even HEARD of them. They act like the know...they will never know.

TheNowhereman42 02-28-2005 07:53 PM

Forest_Fire 02-28-2005 07:54 PM

guns_of_brixton 02-28-2005 07:54 PM

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]the clash, i never heard the blockheads..they any good?[/QUOTE]

I've only heard that one song, and when I first heard it I thought it was Crass.

Coma_Girl 02-28-2005 07:54 PM

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]I was wondering about something today. What is Lover's Rock about? Is it a thing or a place :confused:? .[/QUOTE]
Yeh, you must treat your lover girl right
If you wanna make lover's rock
You must know a place you can kiss to make lovers rock
'Cause everybody knows it's a crying shame
But nobody knows the poor babie's name
When she forgot that thing that she had to swallow

You Western man, you're free with your seed
When you make lovers rock
But woops! there goes the strength that you need
To make real cool lovers rock
'Cause a genuine lover takes off his clothes
And he can make a lover in a thousand go's
An' she don't need that thing that she had to swallow


i think it's about having sex without protection (aka contraceptive pills, or whatever you call it in english) and the girl gets pregnant.

guns_of_brixton 02-28-2005 07:55 PM

Yea, some people thought it was about oral sex.

can you ermm...explain how it works.cause i dont know :upset:

WorryRocker921 02-28-2005 07:57 PM

Yeah...I tired to get my friend to listen to "Train In Vain" during history one day. She has the worst taste in music because she likes whatever rap song just came out yesterday. But I figured she might like it because it's one of the more "popy-er" songs.

One time me and my boyfriend were in my room talking about the song "lovers rock" and what it was about and stuff...then my dad walked in halfway through the conversation....It's hard to explain stuff like that to your parents.

guns_of_brixton 02-28-2005 07:58 PM

And I've never heard the word contraceptive in my life. Your english is better than mine :(.

i think it says

the british punk rockers controlled by the price of the drug they must find...

(that's what my friend told me)

edit: complete control...not clampdown

guns_of_brixton 02-28-2005 08:09 PM

Do any of you ever notice that on all of the Clash's live performances (except for the Guns of Brixton, of course) that Paul's voice can't really be heard on the backup vocals?

Coma_Girl 02-28-2005 08:12 PM

paul has a big british accent when he says 'as in heaven as in [B]hell[/B]'

guns_of_brixton 02-28-2005 08:17 PM

You must buy their dvds! Yes, they are very very good, especially Westway to the World.

Forest_Fire 02-28-2005 08:17 PM

Coma_Girl 02-28-2005 08:19 PM
