Can you name the song?

Standing in the bog of a west end bar
Guy on the right leaning over too far
Money in my pocket gonna put it in the slot
Open up the pack see what type I got

Finish the lyric…

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear

During the recording of “London Calling”, The Clash played football every day.

“I just think we really found ourselves at that time, and it was a lot to do with the football, because it made us play together as one.” - Mick Jones

Can you name the song?

The kingdom is ransacked, the jewels all taken back and the chopper descends
They're hidden in the back, with a message on a half-baked tape with the spool going round
Saying I'm back here in this place and I could cry and there's smoke you could click on

“We’re not afraid to play around. What we’re doing now is experimenting. But I’ll only put on a record if it’s worth listening to. I hate music that’s so concerned with being ‘new’ that it forgets to have any soul, y’know?” - Joe Strummer, NME, 1981

Can you name the song?

I play around don't stay around
This old town too long
Seems like I got to
Travel on
A lotta people won't get no supper tonight
A lotta people won't get no justice tonight
The battle is getting harder
