the song is not exclusively about Bernie Rhodes, if it is at all, which i doubt. The line 'the prisoner lives in Camden Town selling revolution' could be about him but I'm pretty sure wasn't living in Camden at the time - i'd need to delve into my pile of Clash biographies t check that though.
The song is mostly about day-to-day life for a city kid as far as i can tell. Probably Mick Jones himself, as he did like to write about himself a lot ('Train in Vain' 'Deny' 'I'm Not Down' 'Stay Free'...)
the day to day saga of working people - british coap opera Corontion Street.
