In Hong Kong city
At a chowder stand down from Kowloon
Met a junkie into syncronicity
He'd made all the phases of the spoon
He said mister I am able
To map the Cairo water table
But nowhere on my charts
Does it say how to mend a heart
In old Genoa
Behind some dump truck driver's door
There as a lady who was dressed up
Like Marlene before the war
Opinion held that she was ice
Oh but you could glimpse paradise
If you leaned close in the dark
And you told her how to mend a heart
Wait for all the lights,
All the lights in town to go out,
Avoid looking in the mirror
Turn the car and go south
Follow the Pole Star
Until she changes her petticoat
Check into a desert motel
And let the dam in the waters go broke
Some nameless project
Out by the twentieth zone
We got a leaper gonna jump for it
He's paid about all he was owing
He said I'm telling you the truth
I would not be on this roof
If I hadn't seen some kissing in the park
Or known how to mend a heart.
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*.
