is possibly the best song in the world.

and if it's not the best song, it's definitely got the best ending of any song in the world.

now that's how to end a song.

those crazy Brits. what will they think of next?

When I play this song I imagine myself to be Mick Jones.

This actually used to be my favorite Clash song. I felt that the Clash were a group that I could identify with.

"I don't wanna hear about what the rich are doin' / I don't wanna go to where the rich are goin'"

Then, somehow, I felt jipped.

Phooey.

Complete Control edges Garageland, IMO.

i'm in a 'check out music' mood tonight, well, a 'putting off uni work' mood anyway... so i'm giving that a try, not sure if i know the song or not! i'm assuming that's where 'garageland' - the band who did the cool allison cover - got their name from then?

I looove "Garageland." Also frequently find myself listening to "Career Opportunity."

tell me that ending isn't the fucking best.

after posting this i finally looked up the actual lyrics. i realized that there are a bunch of lyrics that i never actually knew what they were..

"but the truth is only known by guttersnipes"

"guttersnipes".. now that's a word-for-the-day..
