Just out of interest, anyone know what Joe's epitaph is?

i also love when it says this is the ramshackleeee day paraaade, and all the emscaleros sing together.beautiful.

i dont even know what the ramshackle day parade is( :upset: )

[QUOTE=TheNowhereman42]Just out of interest, anyone know what Joe's epitaph is?[/QUOTE]
hmmm good question...maybe something like "one day truth and justice will reign"..ive seen it written on commemorative tshirts or whatever.i really dont know...and i wonder who wrote it...

let's do something...we all write what we think should have been written on his tombstone.

ramshackle is a british term for broken or thrashed or worn or whatever

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]huuuh..what? :confused:[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]andy you couldnt fight anyone [/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=TheNowhereman42]ramshackle is a british term for broken or thrashed or worn or whatever[/QUOTE]


ive never heard anyone say that before

woah, cool new title.


Last night I was listening to one of my clash cds and then I heard a song that I had never heard before. It was craaazy.

It turned out to be "Stay Free". Good song

i looooooooove stay free..micks voice in it is so good...the ending lyrics are so good...what a great song...does anyone know who the song is about, mick is clearly talkinga bout a friend?

i hate mick's lyrics most of the time.but the ones to stay free are good...which makes me think that maybe joe helped him a bit...mick was kinda 'selfish' when he was writing lyrics compared to Joe, cause he kept writing sentimental songs.

did the clash do it as if you wrote the song you sung it?

[QUOTE=Scabies]ive never heard anyone say that before[/QUOTE]

I dunno, my parents say it, and so I figured it was british. Its not slang or anything, I think the dictionary lists it as meaning rickety or poorly made.

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]did the clash do it as if you wrote the song you sung it?[/QUOTE]
no joe wrote lost in the supermarket, and mick sung it.
and quick question: did paul write the lyrics to guns of brixton?

I'm pretty sure he wrote the entire song as he's the only one listed as the songwriter on the album.

yeah, I think he wrote the lyrics.

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]no joe wrote lost in the supermarket, and mick sung it.

i believe so

This is still here...

If I remember right, mick and joe told paul that if he wrote a song, he would be the one to sing it if he wanted

^^^that's what i heard

Paul arranged every instrument and wrote the lyrics for The Guns of Brixton.

And for Joe's tombstone... it could say... "Death or Glory, becomes just another story". I don't know... maybe Joe would'nt want that on his tombstone.

Did Topper write Ivan Meets G.I. Joe? I know he sings it, but I don't know if he wrote it. And also, I believe the The Guns og Brixton is the only Clash song written entirely by one person.

EDIT: 1400 posts

i'm surprised, cause I really love the lyrics of guns of brixton, and i didnt know paul was a great lyricist...

Yea, and he said in Westway that he actually wrote it because Mick and Joe got most of the money, and he wanted a slice.

and they went to jamaica together with the money and left him all alone in london with no money.sad sad.

and then they finally did thake him and they all got mugged ><

Haha. But I did some research (not very extensive) and found out that Brixton is the neighborhood in London where Paul grew up in, and still today, it is a shi[B]t[/B]ty place with gangs and stuff.

my friends live in manchester and they're always nearly getting stabbed by f'ucking townies

i need to go there someday, seems like a lot of fun.

yea i was going to say that!

did paul even write the drums to Guns of Brixton

I don't know what a townie is... but getting stabbed isn't good.

Oh, and I think my dad almost saw the Clash in '82.

townie must be a british term.joe used it all the time...i think it means someone from the 'big city' or something.

almost?
