Re: The Lyrics of Joe Strummer
Finally someone agrees with me about Gates of the West being lyrically a bit rushed.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Bullshit. It's a great lyric, very affecting and compassionate. And who told youse that Joe wrote it by himself?

I love Gates of the West, probably my favourite Mick song. The lyrics/phrasing are absolutely fine and Matey is insane. I probably never made that clear enough.muppet hi fi wrote: ↑06 Jun 2018, 6:40pmBullshit. It's a great lyric, very affecting and compassionate. And who told youse that Joe wrote it by himself?
