Well I'll tell you one thing that I know
You don't face your demons down
You gotta grapple 'em Jack and pin 'em to the ground
The devil may care, maybe god he won't
You better make sure you check on the do's and the don'ts
Crawl up a mountain
To reach where the eagles fly
To show you can glimpse from the mountian top
Where the soul of the muse might ride
And if you put it all together
You won't have to look around
You know you cast a long shadow on the ground
Then one day I could tell my tracks
About the holes in the soles of my shoes
And that's the day I said I'm gonna make the news
And fallen back in the garden
The days so long ago
Somewhere in the memory
The sun shines on you boy
And playing in the Arroyo's
Where the American rivers flow
From the Appalachians
Down to the Delta Roads
A man can think so long
His brain could well explode
The strings runnin' through the junctions
A king comes down the road
And if you put it all together
You won't have to look around
You know you cast a long shadow on the ground
Listen to the country
The night jar and the bell
Listen to the night stream lineup
Soundin' like the wolves of hell
Head for the water
The waters of the cleansing spell
It was always our destination
On the express of the never do wells
And we rocked through Madison's city
And we didn't even know she was there
And when we hit the bumpers in Memphis
Beale street didn't have no prayer
And I hear punks talk of anarchy
I hear hobo's on the railroads
I hear mutterings on the chain gangs
It was those men who built the roads
And if you put it all together
You didn't even once relent
You cast a long shadow
And that is your testament
Somewhere in my soul
There's always rock and roll
Yeah!
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*.
