Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros – Burning Lights Lyrics 14 years ago
this song is just simply amazing, you can hear a level of pain, this was during joe's 10 year music break, and i can hear the beast trying to break out of that cage when i hear this song

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros – Bummed Out City Lyrics 14 years ago
I def. see where you're coming from, i heard joe say it live once that it was about getting lost driving with his wife, hense the "And it was me, drove off the ramp, of the sweetheart highway, It was me, I admit I had the map" i had the sense that it's a very much a free way to look at romantic love, like a "we're gonna drive off the ramp together" something i dont think joe would put so obvious in his songs, he always seemed to have a way at hiding romance. but yeah, you are dead on with thelma and louise, but it's him and his wife.
