Lyrics
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Fear in the down sex
They say lie low
You say okay
Don't wanna play a show
No other thinking
Was it death or glory now
Playing the blues of kings
Sure looks better now
Death or glory just another story
Death or glory just another story
From every dingy basement on every dingy street
Every dragging hand clap over every dragging beat
That's just the beat of time the beat that must go on
If you've been trying for years we already heard your song
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story
Gotta launch long way
Fight a long time
Get to travel over mountains
Got to travel over seas
We gonna fight your brother
We gonna fight til you loose
We gonna raise trouble
We gonna raise hell
We gonna fight your brother
Raise hell
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
I heard my dad listening to this track when i was 14 and it was the first time i got to listen to The Clash. When i asked him what is he listening to his answer was one of the greatest albums of all time. Up to this day one of my favorite bands of all time and yes,THANK YOU DAD. Greetings from Serbia
As I turn 67, still my favorite all time song. I stop, pull over to the side of the road, absorb the lyrics and beat when I hear it on the radio.
As I'm 30, this is now my favourite all time song, I shall pull over to the side of the road, go in to my dad's house and rob his CDs more often :)
Great song and I wonder how often you hear it on the radio.
No shit, I have listen to this about 30 times today
I tend to stick the accelerator pedal to the floor and try to achieve
one or the other. I'm 55 and I'm not getting any younger.
You beat it every time you hear this song?
I remember as a teen listening to this in skate 2, that was like a core era of my development
Word bro😢😢
Skate 2 is way too underrated i felt like those severs should still be up if they have skate 3 still up or at least put it on ea play for the og fans
Had the same vibes with Tony Hawks Underground and THUG2. I didnt play Skate 2 but I did have Skate It on DS which also had this song and S'why im here right now
I began to learn english with the London Calling lyrics !
Très bien
brilliant
That's amazing!!!
That’s so cool
Tight.
The drumming. The way Topper instinctively knows how to milk every last bit of impact from the song structure. Fat and heavy, yet light and finessed all at the same time. He's one of the greats.
Yes, he knows how. One of the greats.
The greatest ever!
Absolutely is, amazing talent long live Topper Headon
so agree with this. If you ask me, his offbeats on the intro set the energy for the entire song. The way they continue throughout is pure brilliance
I discovered The Clash when I was 9 years old. Yesterday I turned 23, and still love The Clash. One of the best bands out there.
welcome to the fold, young padawan :)
Me at 25 and I'm 66 now. The love continues...
Good for you buddy....glad some young guys still see the light. Try Dylan, if you havent already.
Good on you lad.. I saw the Clash in 1982...the only band that matters.
Welcome to the family, kid. We are all fucking insane over here. It's gonna be a hell of a ride.
My stock line was always that The Clash could never do anything but make you feel good. Now I'm getting older (mid 50s) I've got to revise that opinion: listening to this tonight has only evoked melancholy for my youth and the era in which this glorious album appeared in the record racks. As Strummer says though, "It's just the beat of time and the beat that must go on". It happens to us all in the end....... If we're lucky!
You put how I feel at 53 so perfectly. It's a bit of a cliche, but wasn't that a fucking great time to be alive? So many memories just rush in and it's both magic and sad. Sometimes I get angry that it wasn't a bigger deal when he died (well, perhaps to us). I get that wouldn't have really accomplished anything in the long run, but it felt like he never got his due.
I was a youthful 24 when this album was released. I am currently listening to this song, age 66!
49 signing in here. I got into the Sex Pistols along with Slayer and Metallica. But since Johnny Rotten said they were supposedly poseurs--I avoided them till 1999. Got the US version of the debut album. Having already dug The Pixies, Pavement--having grown up a The Beatles fan in the early '80s...I was completely BLOWN AWAY by the debut at 26yrs old. (Bought it for $2 at a used CD/tape/record store).
"London Calling" was even better. That crazy triple-record "Sandinista" was creative musical/rock-n-roll history. (Maybe their best! Rock NEEDED these guys as we were moving from the 70s to the 80s)
@@psychoholiday-ju1cplmao look at what johnny rotten believes in now, he is more of a poser imo
Yeahbbbbh
They are still the only band that matters!! Love the CLASH!
I remember Joe Strummer quoting " The Clash the only band that mutters" which he saw on graffiti.
Now close to 70……..the guitar work on the closing part of the song (gonna fight a long way……….We’re gonna raise trouble We’re gonna raise hell……) is IT, can’t hear that without strong emotions. Still my favorite…..
still kicking man? hope you are!
Not one song on this amazing LP misses the mark. And over 40 years old, it continues.
C Synch
My ultimate favorite all time album I'm old enough to remember them touring Australia in early 1980 and is one of my favorite concerts ever but for some reason they refused to play White Riot Joe said we wouldn't get the meaning of the song in Australia 👹👹👹👹
@@petergoldsworthy2454 Strummer was unique if nothing else and moody as they came. I'm asked fairly often what's the one band you could have seen if the chance were there, my answer is always the same... Clash with Bo Diddley opening. Thanks for sharing that recollection. They were one of a kind.
I’m a new fan, a bit late to the party at 28 but it’s 2023 and every song is relevant and every second is amazing
In my opinion, this band has really innovated the punk rock music with its original and fantastic style!
yeah hope they make it big soon
I don't even think the word "masterpiece" can describe this song. The older I get the more I understand the lyrics to this song. Picked this album up as a teen and here I am in my mid 20's sitting in my car at 4am absorbing everything about this song in solitude... Fuckin' beauty..
Haha I've been listening for over 20 years now and still love it.
it´s the struggle of millions worldwide, more than a masterpiece, I agree. Always makes me emotional about my journey in life
"Hands that slap his kids around, cos they don't understand'. One of the greatest rock lyrics ever written #LoveandHate
57 now 41 years since i seen them in dundee still fuckin love them best band I've ever heard or seen
seen them on the 16 tonnes tour at caird hall
My favourite song from London Calling.
you can't stop listening to this song after playing skate it all day, this game and this song will never tire me.

When you ask me what my favourite album of all time is, I don’t even have to think about it, this is it!
Mine is Quadrophenia, but this is in a very, very close second.
The only band that matters
That line about nuns! Pure genius!
Classic.... the only reason this was never a single. Joe refused to change it.... true? I dunno.. some old man in a bar told me
My favorite line in ANY Clash song!
Damn right
As a market researcher, it was always my favorite line.
Saw The Clash Live in Detroit 82' w/ The Who, still one of the most life changing events in my life being down front for the Clash.
I saw them in Seattle Oct 17, 1982.
Saw them same year at Shea stadium ny. Feel the same way
I saw them in LA on same tour. Agree 👍
I saw them in Seattle with The Who. I was 17 and drove down from Vancouver to see that. Great show.
@@MrTingabug I was there too. Standing on the floor.
I remember bombing hills to this! On skate 2 tho 😂😂
Skate it on DS is what made me think about this again
We need another skate AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I remember breaking my nose and both wrists in a garage to this album! go get it, Death or Glory!
@@MUJUNKY explain pls
We need Skate 4 😩😩😩
Saw them September 4 1982 at Verdun Auditorium in Montreal.
Black Uhuru was the opening band.
An epic concert, with two of the best bands ever!
Saw the same tour in Toronto
@@tommylaw5467 Did Black Uhuru open in Toronto, too?
Yes they did
@@tommylaw5467 Schweet
still the only band that matters.
Another classic from The London calling album fucking brilliant Clash
Agreed man
Correct there my friend 👍
Refrain from vulgar language my friend.
their best in my opinion. Tommy Gun and Bankrobber too.
Along with wrong em boyo
and Rudie Can't Fail
This is the earliest melody I remember from my childhood. Even though I never told that to my mom, she linked me the song for my 21st birthday. Mom knows best :)
This is my favourite clash song... Same as the other 400 clash songs.
YES!!!
... later in 1989, I played "Death or Glory" on my college radio 📻 station. (did not hit the pause button on the f-bomb lyric). Saw The Clash twice in concert in 1982. Groovy times... Ride safe.
Best punk song ever, seconded only by Complete Control also by The Clash IMO. From the 2:40 minute mark it goes from a 10/10 song to an epic punk gift to the world. The only band that matters ladies and gents.
Spot-on. 2:40 in this track is the sound of a band who are so completely on top of it that they realise they can do anything. One of those moments when pop music takes you to a different place. In terms of bands who actually 'matter', I'll throw in The Beatles, The Velvet Underground and probably The Stone Roses. But The Clash will still top the list, every time.
this isn’t punk…imo
Not the best punk song ever. You think it's better than anything the Stooges ever released? No Fun, 1970, Fun House? Apples and oranges I suppose, and the appeal of the Stooges is mostly in their performance, but I just don't this is essential enough to be the best punk song. Better than anything the Ramones ever made? Better than anything from Joy Division? Idk about that..
@@Bandstand I kinda know what you mean there. Growing up as a kid I always heard of the Clash as sort of the holy grail of punk bands. Then I got London Calling and it didn't seem very punk to me at all.. I was like "this isn't the punk I know". I was most used to listening to bands like Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers and so on. SLF is my favourite punk band of all time. But when it comes to the Clash. I really only call their first album punk.. or at least what punk is to me. Even on the second album there are hints of what is to come and a softening of their sound. But on London Calling, it's cranked up to eleven, it's clear they were exploring and experimenting with many, many musical genres.. I hear everything from ska, rockabilly, r&b, pop, jazz, hard rock on tracks on London Calling.. sure, there's some punk DNA in there too but it's really a very diverse, mixup of an album.. even from song to song. I don't mean in any way that in a bad way.. don't get me wrong. It's a great album, just not what I'd call punk. Genre wise, I'm not sure what I'd brand it.. post punk/new wave maybe. It's just London Calling.. it's maybe beyond labels.
Topper , met him at Glasgow Apollo , can't remember what year? and the rest of the band, adore you're drumming...Respect .........
Saw the Clash Live at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago Aug 82 - I was 17 then, 40 yrs later I still love this song
I moved to Chicago three months later. How were the acoustics at the Aragon Ballroom? It would have been my favorite venue of all time, except I couldn't hear anybody there.
I stumbled upon a book in which my late father-in-law, a jazz and classical tuba player, said the acoustics at the Aragon Ballroom were bad in the late 1940s and old-timers told him they were also bad in the late 1920s.
@@isteve2464 Don't remember the Acoustics, but the venue was small will only a thousand or two, so the sound was good as far is I know.
I remember first hearing this song on the Nintendo DS version of Skate. Memories man
I came home from Angola, because I heard Joe and friends, what I had been waiting for, music, British, will stand the test of time!!! Thanks Joe,!!!!!
They had a unique style. One of my favourites.
My very first living memory is being sat in front of my Dad’s hi-fi system, headphones plugged in blasting The Clash. Will always be thankful to that man for showing me real music early and not letting me listen to shit boy bands like everyone else at school did.
I have been listening to this band since I was born in 2012. I am 11 now and I still love this band.
The Clash
THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!
Best rock n roll band ever
The only band that ever mattered
A true classic. Cheers skate
Heeya
Once heard never forgotten !!
He who fs nuns, will later join the church. In my opinion the greatest lyric ever.
Meni jedna od omiljenih od clash.......extra mi je i cijeli album, njihov najbolji.....imao sam kasetu,pa sam poslije kupio cd
My friend recommended a bunch of their songs and I became a fan was a teen. This song specific even spired one of my story writings
1st heard this track used in the Jackass TV series when i was a kid... like many clash tracks i heard over time, it wasn't til i got a little older i gave them a listen and been one of my favourites ever since.
Still the glory of this record is more like legend and made my youth tolerable 🎵
The skate reference to bombing hills. I do love this band and this song.
Sound of my youth. The seventies and eighties was amazing
Great song
I must have played London Calling 1000 times. it still amazes me.
I'm as addicted to this album as much as I am to Shawshank Redemption!
brilliant
Underrated song
People can change anything they want to, and that means everything in the world.
- Joe Strummer
Perfection.
Topper totally killing it on drums!
If you need to show anyone why he's such a great drummer, this track is a pretty good place to start.

Thank you EA for introducing me to this masterpiece… good times 😌
Skate 2 man
Essa é umas das músicas q eu mais gosto do The Clash
Skate 2, respeita 🤘🏻
Just so good... the clash make me feel like Im not alone in my perspectives and happy to keep the cause going. I will always love this band.
My favorite Clash song evah.
Mine too
Robert Connorson I’m right there with ya.
same
All time favorite song
As a 16 year old American, this song (and album) resonate d with me in so many ways. These guys "got it" and influenced so many bands long after they packed it in. RIP Joe Strummer!
Considering how many old punks became sellouts, this song was prophetic.
+Brett McGowan:
The new groups are not concerned
With what there is to be learned (ahh ahh)
They got Burton suits, hah you think it's funny
Turning rebellion into money
Takes me back 20 years to that
long good summer
Great tune, Great memories
Saw them at the Cape Cod Coliseum in 1982, shit what a show. Originally scheduled for the Orpheum Theatre Boston. Ended up with opening night tickets after standing in line for 6 hours. Man to be 16 again.
Yup...I was there. 17 years old and the both Orpheum shows later on.
My UNCLE/GODFATHER BIG ED died Saturday and this is one of his favorite if one it is, ❤️ TATTOO LEGEND
This album is a banger 🎉😮😮❤❤❤
Topper destrói msm na bateria.....
I herd this at a young age and feel so good finally finding it again
Part of the soundtrack of my teens.
Best Skate song!
I love it
Wow what a track from one of the best bands & albums ever IMHO 🍷😉👍
So good.
First heard this when I was 9 back in 2009 on skate 2 🙏 Brilliant song!🇯🇪
At the time I was 16 living in the US getting acquainted with Salvia, 2CP, and my favorite, pscylocibine Cubensis!
Good times! This album was a great addition to the madness.
@@knightscroftsquire-muldoon damn, I feel it! that 100x salvia phucked me UPPPP
@@CannaMartJE
I had an old tobacco pipe full of the 100x and cleared it in one hit, I went into a tube and saw the desert with a shining palace and Krishna then I heard a voice saying over and over "none of this is real, nothing is real" as a knife carved the words into the sky. My friend was trip sitting me and said I got up off his couch walk over to his flight of stairs, turned around and sat down. When I came back there were police sirens and I was FREAKING out haha! Sorry for rambling and have a good one!
Brilliant.....hear me hear me hear me.
"We're gonna fight, 'til you lose"
Gotta be one of the most powerful lines in any song.
Back in the day, when games used to have good music
Life used to have good music. Games are not life but the opposite of it
OMG, thanks Paul for your bass line 😍
The greatest rock song. They were punk rock reggae and amazing
You helped us much ,, Joe !! The Brother's of Blue 6 , Bid you Rest easy, Brother peace!!
From London Calling, the first Clash album I bought, must be 1980. My friend had the first album from 1977 which was groundbreaking as well. LC was double album stuffed in single sleeve, cover evokes early Elvis Presley album cover. The Clash evolved so quickly, so many musical genres on one record. Its kind of like an encyclopedia of rock music similar to Beatles 'white album', Exile on Main Steet or Blonde on Blonde My favorite song varies with each listen. Strongly recommended!
Skate 2 🖤
Awesome tune from the only band that mattered.
Matters, thank you very much
Who else pumped this in skate it when it was 9?
Still one of my favorites, 10 years later
When “they” were nine.
@@samhenderyckx7042 I found skate it in my old DS case a week ago & started playing the heck out of it.
Sin duda son los mejores del punk
skate for the ds.
You forgot the wii
The wii was with low rider
Skate 2
The clash helped me fight a war!! Thanks boys!!!
Surely Joe would've hated that
Which war if I may ask?
@@adrianshephard378 Angola, Congo, now the DRC South Africa, you a Combat Soldier, Brother peace be upon you!!
@@stephenburgess5918 Wow, you are quite the well decorated veteran. Thank you for your service man, god bless
Discovered this song through Skate 2 I think, and I used to make fun of the vocalist, but man. I just can't get it out of my head.
I was familiar with Rock the Casbah but didn't put it together it was the same group till much later.
Anyway, long story short I freaking love this group, more and more the older I get. Just feel bad for not having been on the wagon earlier on in my life lol, jealous of the people who rocked out to these guys long before I was born lol
“Hey, slappy!”
Strummer was a genius!
Grandi mi mancano unici
Para los k estamos presos es todo un himno k nos anima a seguir cuando nos vamos a dormir
Eres el mejor joe.
I was playing skate it and I remember when I skating in spillway:-)
Love this song 😍
Every time I hear that "bang! bang!" it brings on a wave of emotions. I love this fucking song
Chief keef
I saw the Clash In Chicago at the Aragon Ballroom (Brawlroom...LOL) in Chicago in the early 80's and they were AMAZING!!!!!!!
[Intro]
Hey
[Verse 1]
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the world
And ends up makin' payments on a sofa or a girl
"Love" and "hate" tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
[Chorus]
Death or glory becomes just another story
[Verse 2]
In every gimmick hungry yob diggin' gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mic and tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this and it's been tested by research
He who fucks nuns will later join the church
[Verse 3]
Fear in the gun sights
They say "Lie low"
You say "Ok"
Don't wanna play a show
No other thinking
Was it death or glory now?
Playin' the blues of kings
Sure looks better now
[Verse 4]
In every dingy basement on every dingy street
Every draggin' handclap over every draggin' beat
That's just the beat of time, beat that must go on
If you've been tryin' for years we already heard your song
[Verse 5]
Gotta march a long way
Fight a long time
Get to travel over mountains
Got to travel over seas
We gonna fight your brother
We gonna fight 'til you lose
We gonna raise trouble
We gonna raise hell
We gonna fight your brother
Raise hell
Thank you!!
Glad I got to see him play live once.
Thanks Joe! Ann, saved my life!! You Brother Got me through the peace op,!!
Monster on drums....
Currently, the song "Should I stay Should I go" is related to the controversal question of the Brexit. At least, today in the italian tv programmes, talked about this news!
Italian tv is the worst shit you can see
