Yeah I love this band
Midnight to six man
For the first time from Jamaica
Dillinger and Leroy Smart
Delroy Wilson, your cool operator
Ken Boothe for UK pop reggae
With backing bands sound systems
And if they've got anything to say
There's many black ears here to listen
But it was Four Tops all night with encores from stage right
Charging from the bass knives to the treble
But onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
Onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel
Dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
'Cos it won't get you anywhere
Fooling with your guns
The British Army is waiting out there
An' it weighs fifteen hundred tons
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
Punk Rockers in the UK
They won't notice anyway
They're all too busy fighting
For a good place under the lighting
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned
They got Burton suits, ha you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
All over people changing their votes
Along with their overcoats
If Adolf Hitler flew in today
They'd send a limousine anyway
I'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
Who looks so sick in the sun
I'm the white man in the Palais
Just lookin' for fun
I'm only
Looking for fun
One of the best songs ever written (lyric wise anyway)!!

Love this line from "White Man In Hammersmith Palais":
White youth, black youth
Better find another solution
Why not phone up Robin Hood
And ask him for some wealth distribution
Technically pretty poor, great songwriting duo, great frontman, too honest to be rich and Strummer was too young to die (I'm not talking about Sid Vicious here)
live4evr, try to get "Westway To The World". It's a great documentary.

Joe Strummer was a legend, did anyone see the piece in the NME about 30 years of the Clash. In it, Mick Jones said the last time he saw Joe, he gave him a copy of Up The Bracket, but did not know if he listened to it or not. Personally, I bet he'd have loved it!!
Does anyone know much about Joe Strummer's last band, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleoes? Their album Streetcore was excellent, there was a cover of bob marley's redemption song, one of Joe's best vocal performances.
Was this their only album or did they have any others? Any recommendations?

Any recommendations? They released 3 albums in total: Rock Art And The X-Ray Style Global A Go-Go Streetcore Personally I don't fancy his years as an actor, but love "Mistery Train" and "Rudy Boy" is still class. |
