Cory is the one--she'll never ever die young
She'll be quite candid
And say we were drunks who couldn't make her come
Running with Revolt and Plutonium
In the canyons of Uranium
Rolling off a roulette on a Rampart Street
Here come the King of the Bayou
When should a beat get the blues?
If it's a subway pokergame you lose
If the Zulu King is on Main
Let's beat the parades and the crowds from the game
Rushing through the rush hour on an all-nighter
Never seen you look so young
The world really looks from this doughnut store
Such a funny colour in the sun
And in his style he's number one
Said the monkey of the three wise bums
Toting Mezzrow and up to the innocent
But he's seen what jammings been done
And they're selling tickets to the stadium
And the doors to the ceilings of our craniums
I was glad we were changing on the gradient
They were sweeping up with searchlights made of Radium
Everglade funk in a clubtown
For once the traffic's been conquered by the streets
Listening close the waterpools
You can hear the hiss and the leaks
And the rattling cans of the shuffling bands
Down the avenues of spare change
Forty blocks north in your memories
In the Indonesian fog and the rain
Cory is the one--she'll never ever die young
When should a beat get the blues?
If it's a subway pokergame you lose
Rolling off a route on a Rampart Street
Here comes the King of the Bayou.
Joe Strummer, born John Graham Mellor (1952-2002), was a British singer-songwriter, guitarist, actor, and radio host. Known for being the frontman of The Clash, one of the most influential punk bands in music history. Born in Ankara, Turkey, to English parents, Strummer spent his childhood between London and continental Europe. Influenced by American rock 'n' roll and British folk music, he began playing guitar at the age of 15. In 1976, he founded The Clash with Mick Jones, Paul Simonon, and Topper Headon. The band quickly became a symbol of the punk movement, blending punk energy, reggae, ska, and rockabilly into a unique and revolutionary sound. Their albums, such as *London Calling* (1979) and *Sandinista!* (1980), are considered milestones in punk music and have influenced generations of musicians. After The Clash disbanded in 1986, Strummer continued to pursue a successful musical career as a solo artist, collaborating with artists like Bruce Springsteen and Johnny Cash. He died suddenly in 2002 at the age of 50. Among Joe Strummer's most representative songs are: *London Calling*, *Should I Stay or Should I Go*, *Rock the Casbah*.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
