'London calling to the faraway towns, Now war is declared and battle come down, London calling to the underworld, Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls ...'
'I'm stranded on the vortex floor, My head's been kicked in, And blood's started to pour, Through the haze I can see my girl, 15 geezers got her pinned to the door, I try to reach her but fall back to the floor, A-bomb in Wardour Street, It's blown up the West End, Now it's spreading through the city ...'
'I fumble for change - and pull out the Queen, Smiling, beguiling ... I put in the money and pull out a plum, Behind me ... Whispers in the shadows - gruff blazing voices, Hating, waiting ... "Hey boy" they shout "have you got any money?" And I said "I've a little money and a take away curry, I'm on my way home to my wife ... ... she'll be lining up the cutlery, You know she's expecting me, Polishing the glasses and pulling out the cork" And I'm down in the tube station at midnight ...'

One good thing about the Clash, similar to their contemporaries the Jam who immediately crossed my mind when I opened this thread, is they embraced many styles with their music - reggae, soul, funk, disco etc. - so, a song like 'Train In Vain' could be sampled by Garbage on the dancetastic 'Stupid Girl'.

They say a picture can say a thousand words. Here's a picture of superfunky disco kings Chic hanging low in New York City, New York in 1980 ...
