never would have guess you do white riot.....

hm...i might do clampdown or guns of brixton

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 07:32 PM

I'm not telling what song I'm going to do, I want to make it a surprise. :D

Forest_Fire 04-15-2005 07:49 PM

hmmm... I'm gonna have to look hard to find a great song that's not too cliche to use... hmmm

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 08:18 PM

I was considering "Remote Control" for a short time, but it's really the Anti Clash song.

Forest_Fire 04-15-2005 08:22 PM

I'll use "We are the clash"




























/is kidding, obviously

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 08:24 PM

I'll laugh if anyone does 1-2 Crush on You. It is the worst written song of [B]all time[/B].

Forest_Fire 04-15-2005 08:28 PM

haha. you may be right

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 08:31 PM

If Mick got to write every Clash song by himself, things wouldn't of turned out so well.

"I'm so Bored with You" "1-2 Crush on You"

Without Joe, the Clash would've invented emo.

xxGumbyxx 04-15-2005 08:35 PM

I call "Hateful" :cool:

Forest_Fire 04-15-2005 08:36 PM

I love the mixing on the vocals. When you're listening to it with your headphones on, those backup vocals sound really outstanding



great song

sketchyjoe 04-15-2005 08:38 PM

I want Protex Blue. The condom song.

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 08:43 PM

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]I want Protex Blue. The condom song.[/QUOTE]

Great song. I never knew it was about condoms :lol:.

[QUOTE]I call "Hateful"[/QUOTE]

I love the backup vocals too.

It's clearly about Johnnies if you listen to the lyrics.

standing in the bog of a west end bar
guy on the right leaning over too far
money in my pocket gonna put it in the slot
open up the pack see what type i got

i didn't want to hold you
i didn't want to use you
protex, protex blue
all wanna do

it's a fab protective for that type of a girl
but everybody knows that she uses it well
it's the therapeutic structure i can use at will
but i don't think it fits my b.d. drill

sitting in a carriage of a bakerloo
erotica my pocket got a packet for you
advert on the escalator on my way home
i don't need no skin flicks, i wanna be alone

i didn't want to hold you
i didn't want to use you
protex, protex blue
all i wanna do

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 08:52 PM

I'm leaning towards doing Death or Glory.

Coma_Girl 04-15-2005 10:38 PM

lets keep the songs secret and if someone already choosed it, we just have to take another one...

can we use meskies songs too?cause i think their lyrics are even better than the clash lyrics, in a more subtle style maybe.or joe's stuff with the latino rockabilly war...or his solo career?

guns_of_brixton 04-15-2005 10:45 PM

Sure, anything written by any member of the Clash is fine :thumb:.

White Riot! 04-16-2005 11:04 AM

Word for word lyrics!

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 the back
and im so pilled up that I rattle
I got the sharpest knife
so I cut the biggest slices
but I have no time for 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-righ-hai-haight!

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 street
And I ain't got no time for that. Hey!

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-ma, tell your pa everything's gonna be all right
Can't you feel it? DON'T ignore it
Gonna be Arl-righ-hai-haight!

Revolution Rock!

Yeah so!....get that cheesegrater going.....
against the grain....

wearing me down.....pressure increase.

Everbody!
Everybody smash up
your seats and rock to this
Brand new beat,
This here music mash up nations
This here music cause a sensation
Tell your ma-ma, beget your pa-pa everything's gonna be all right
Can't you feel it? DONT ignore it
Gonna be Arl-righ-hai-haight!

Revolution Rock!

To the coolest mobsters... in kingtown!

And the hardest guys... and the coolest girls

Is your heart so made of rock ,
that the blood must run around the clock?

Are you listening mobsters?....
Hey!...All people crawl gotta die! Whole cart of food goes rolling by
its food for thought mobsters~young people shoot their days away , ive seen talent thrown away!

Are you lone shark?..................The Organ Play!....And their dancing to the brand new beat!

This here music mash up nations
This here music cause a sensation
Tell your ma-ma, tell your pa-pa everything's gonna be all right
Can't you feel it? DONT ignore it
Gonna be Arl-righ-hai-haight!

I said A Revolution Rock!


Theres that old cheesegrater.......rubing me down

This must be the way out?!........ (something intelligible)

o-la o-la -ola!

(o-la o-la -ola) (paul?)

(o-la o-la -ola) (paul?)

Any song you want! played request at the band stand!

(o-la o-la -ola) (paul?)

(o-la o-la -ola) (paul?)
El-clash combo , pay fifteen dollars a day!

Weddings , parties , anything......and bongo jams a speciality!



That is a **** cool song. IT SHOULD OF BEEN THE FINAL SONG FOR LONDON CALLING!

CombatRock 04-16-2005 11:12 AM

indeed those are some badass lyrics..the ending is my fav part :)...

Coma_Girl 04-16-2005 12:10 PM

el-clash combo :thumb:

TheNowhereman42 04-16-2005 01:32 PM

Morning Clash thread, god I <3 revolution rock so much

Brain Toad 04-16-2005 02:01 PM

I think once I get my new HD (Wednesday) I'm going to go on a mission to get the entire Clash discog. And anything else I can find along the way. What I have so far:

Combat Rock
Give 'em Enough Rope
London Calling
The Clash (UK Version)

Mescaleros stuff:
Streetcore
Global A-Go-Go

Sound like a good idea?

sketchyjoe 04-16-2005 02:11 PM

Everything except Cut The Crap.

Brain Toad 04-16-2005 02:14 PM

When I go for discogs, I even get the crappy albums. I looked up the discog on AMG and realised I only have 2 albums to get, 3 if you count the US version of their s/t. Maybe I'll do it before wednesday.

sketchyjoe 04-16-2005 02:17 PM

You've got to get Sandinista, Super Black Market Clash and The Clash (US). There's also some live albums.

Brain Toad 04-16-2005 02:18 PM

I just saw Super Black Market as I was searching will get that one. I'll try my best to get as many live albums, and maybe even some bootlegs.

sketchyjoe 04-16-2005 02:19 PM

The Clash on Broadway is a good live album as it's got loads of stuff on it.

Permanent Solution 04-16-2005 03:32 PM

So I can get London Calling for $7 or the Anniversary Edition for $13, it it worth the extra price for an average Clash fan?

sketchyjoe 04-16-2005 03:34 PM

London Calling is brilliant on its own but if you've got the money then it's up to you.

Permanent Solution 04-16-2005 03:36 PM

Well right, I always download before buying...but I can't find the second CD anywhere, so I can't decide which I should go for heh
