The Clash - Train in Vain
Friday, 5th February 1982, Logan Campbell Centre, Auckland (via) play it loud
Say you stand by your man
Tell me something I don’t understand
You said you love me and that’s a fact
Then you left me, said you felt trapped
Well some things you can explain away
But my heartache’s in me till this day
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
All the times
When we were close
I’ll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumbling down
I won’t be happy without you around
So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
There is only one thing that I can say
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Now I got a job
But it don’t pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay
But without all these things I can do
But without your love I won’t make it through
But you don’t understand my point of view
I suppose there’s nothing I can do
You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?
Did you stand by me
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
Did you stand by me
No, not at all
Did you stand by me
No way
and show you don’t care

The Clash - Janie Jones
Friday, 5th February 1982, Logan Campbell Centre, Auckland (via)
‘It’s one thing to say, “Burn the cars and burn the ghetto”, but you try setting a car alight.’
Joe Strummer
I know in America people think it ridiculous that one
can fight to the death over articles of clothing, but
in these islands it’s a different story. Teddy Boys
were rock ‘n’ rollers, so named after their Edwardian
dress style, and punks came in and took the Teddy Boy
jackets, which were lovely - long, finget-tip length
with moleskin lapels - and ripped them and put safety
pins in them. Johnny Rotten was particularly good at
decorating a jacket. Teddy Boys didn’t like punks
because they thought it was disrespectful what they
were doing to their clothes. Which I suppose it was.
And one summer in 1976 it was fairly dangerous to walk
the streets of London dressed as a punk, especially on
Saturday afternoons on the Kings Road, although you’d
get involved with Teddy Boys on any day, really. It was
their last stand, though, they were blown away by it
all. They were the old thing and Punk was the new and
there was never going to be a real contest.

THE CLASH - Original Clash Book
Found this at the library. It wasn’t hard. It’s big. It’s pink. It has ‘The Clash’ in large black letters on the spine. I like it.
