The Prisoner Lyrics

funny. I once thought this song on Black Market Clash was about being a prisoner of love, as that's what I though he sasy at the end of the chorus. but it's prisoner-er-er- . But reading the lyrics the song seems to be about not wanting to be a prisoner of heroin, one of the many anti-junky references in Clash songs. "Prisoner loads his tracking arm up with self dissolution..." referring to needle tracks. I have no idea what the 'muppet hi-fi' is. would love to know.
