Cuz I've lived that kind of day

When none of your sorrows go away

It goes down and down and hits the floor

Down and down and down some more

Depression

But I know there'll be some way

When I can swing everything back my way

Like skyscrapers rising up

Floor by floor, not giving up

I hope you continue down this clash road. If you ever get sick of listening to "London Calling" (I can't see why you would) I'd suggest listening to

"Give em enough rope"

After you have listened to all the clash albums (including Cut the Crap! Even if you don't like it)

Listen to Big Audio Dynamite and Joe Strummer and the mescaleros

I know it's their biggest hit, but Rush is about as perfect a pop-song as there is, imo. I love it:

As for Joe and the Mescaleros, I've always loved Bhindi Bhagee, here is a great live version of it. Joe was the best. THE BEST:

Joe strummer basically giving you a tour via food through his stomping grounds. Pretty cool track.

I _WAS_ going to post rush, I was hoping someone else would!

About Joe, I agree, I know that The Clash were a huge band, but I still feel like Joe doesn't get the mainstream credit he deserves.
