gelmiş geçmiş en iyi punk rock şarkısı.

bir diğer strummer+jones ortaklığı ürünü... 1979'dan... simon gilbert'in vaktinde john peel'den kendisi için çalmasını rica ettiği the clash parçası... [aldığım bilgilere göre john peel "stratford'dan simon için" şeklinde bir anonsla çalmış bu söz konusu şarkıyı; simon gilbert de radyosundan kaydetmiş bu önemli anı ve çok heyecanlanmış falan..]

midnight to six man
for the first time from jamaica
dillinger and leroy smart
delroy wilson, your cool operator

ken boothe for uk pop reggae
with backing bands sound systems
and if they've got anything to say
there's many black ears here to listen

but it was four tops all night with encores from stage right
charging from the bass knives to the treble
but onstage they ain't got no roots rock rebel
onstage they ain't got no...roots rock rebel

dress back jump back this is a bluebeat attack
'cos it won't get you anywhere
fooling with your guns
the british army is waiting out there
an' it weighs fifteen hundred tons

white youth, black youth
better find another solution
why not phone up robin hood
and ask him for some wealth distribution

punk rockers in the uk
they won't notice anyway
they're all too busy fighting
for a good place under the lighting

the new groups are not concerned
with what there is to be learned
they got burton suits, ha you think it's funny
turning rebellion into money

all over people changing their votes
along with their overcoats
if adolf hitler flew in today
they'd send a limousine anyway

i'm the all night drug-prowling wolf
who looks so sick in the sun
i'm the white man in the palais
just lookin' for fun

i'm only
looking for fun

ankarali joe strummer bey, beyaz kicinin rengine bakmadan hammersmith palais'ta bir reggae konserine gider, akabinde olaylar gelisir. hikaye formatinda nakaratsiz bir parca gibi gozukse de strummer'in donemin ingiltere'sine ayarin hasini verdigi white man in hammersmith palais'in aslinda dort dakikalik yekpare bir nakarat oldugunu soylemek herhalde yanlis olmaz.
