The Clash Lyrics


Mick Jones had a band called London S.S. with Bernard
Rhodes who would become later The Clash's manager. Paul
Simonon joined the London S.S. at its last legs. After,
they decided to start all over again in a new band. Mick
Jones decided to teach Paul Simonon how to play guitar, but
as Paul had never played that instrument, it was too
difficult for him. So they decided he should play bass,
"because it's easier and has only four strings", as Paul
said once.

They got Keith Levene as another guitarist and Terry Chimes
as drummer. More...

Review about The Clash songs
get real | Reviewer: bramble
    ------ About the song Guns of Brixton performed by The Clash

as on old ex bootgirl back in the early '80s many of the clash songs were/are anthemic,a lot of us were from hidious backgrounds and often we were no respecters of caution needless to say it raised the ugly head of the law and yes they got sick of us, hey bring on the dogs ,the battons and the cells if they caught us.we really did cause alot of shit.we lived .we breathed it,were homeless and always suspected...the clash wrote and performed this.boy did we get shitfaced to it.they helped make my midteens absolutely memorable...oi!oi!oi!

Best Song Ever. | Reviewer: Andy X
    ------ About the song Complete Control performed by The Clash

This is easily the best song ever recorded. I saw The Clash on the Combat Rock Tour in Brighton, it was the best night of my life & one thing I really regret in my life is that I never got to see The Clash more. Sadly Joe's passing meant my dream was finally over but I still have memories.
1976-7 was a good time to be a 15-16 year old & it's good to see younger kids appreciate good music today. My kids have grown listening to The Clash, Pistols etc & they like a lot of the music so there's hope for the future!
Best Band Ever.

    ------ About the song Complete Control performed by The Clash

the clash is my number 1 favourite band of all time. I'm 14, and I'm completely against all the crappy pop bollocks in the world right now, so when i discovered the clash when i was 12, i was in heaven. the clash opened up the whole world of punk and almost everything else to me. RIP joe, you legend. I'm really sad that i could never see the clash live, but at least i can keep up their legacy. thumbs up to all the clash fans out there.

    ------ About the song Complete Control performed by The Clash

This song will ALWAYS be THE yardstick for anarchy. No one can touch The Clash, never could, never will. This song inspired me to bleach out my hair white blond and dye it bright blue. When asked by ex-boyfriends, et al. as to why I did it, my answer was simply "just to piss people off". Had acquaintances actually snub me because of it. Zombie Assholes.

    ------ About the song Shepherds Delight performed by The Clash

What are you doing? The existence of this page convinces me that I have reached the END of the Internet and thus exposed it as a soul-less sea of 0s & 1s. As the song says, 'Could it really happen?' 'I have an idea.' Any one reading this message in a bottle, explain this song @ teekeetorch@live.com

    ------ About the song Complete Control performed by The Clash

The only band that matters. Really, this song sums it up. How many other artists have copied this theme and Nirvana suffered for the same reason.

RIP JO Public...it's always abour C O N !

    ------ About the song Guns of Brixton performed by The Clash

Police in italy did even worst in genova years ago, injuring all peaceful people who were only sleeping.
Blood everywhere, people crying, devastated, and false cloues placed by specific guys of the Secret Services in some corner of the place. Today there is a movie on that ( called " DIAZ " ).

That night the line of bass of Paul Simonon was strongly heared everywhere.

Never listened or played enough. Long live to Clash.

    ------ About the song Rock The Casbah performed by The Clash

I think it song was partly in response to Iran's law on music, but I don't think the song is completely based in Iran. The Casbah is in Algiers in Algeria.

@Anonymous: he cried when he found out it had been written on a bomb? Damn, I feel so sorry for him there. Makes me feel a little sad thinking about it.

It's perfect | Reviewer: Justin Killian
    ------ About the song White Man In Hammersmith Palais performed by The Clash

I lack the eloquence to do justice to this song. There's not one wasted note, one drum beat out of place. It's just, well, perfect. Especially love how Simonon really ramps the bass up during the last verse. The 20 seconds or so from "All over, people changing their votes . . ." until the end of the song is the type of distilled awesomeness that makes people write and record music. If I could marry 20 seconds of music, that bit would be my wife.
