I know GSB has a thread like this for Green Day songs but I was wondering what are your favorite quotes/lyrics from any Clash song or something one of the guys said.

Mine are:
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there. -Joe Strummer

The future is unwritten. -Joe Strummer

You gotta be slightly stupid. -Joe

Yeah, all those things, responsibility, pressure. It's a bit stressful. I try and come to terms with it by not thinking about it. -Joe

I know I only have Joe quotes but post any good ones you find.

"London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes"
~'London Calling'

"Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes"
~'I'm So Bored With The USA'

"Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice."
~'Straight To Hell'

"This sound does not subscribe
To the international plan
In the psycho shadow of the white right hand
Then that see ghettology as an urban Vietnam
Giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm"
~'This Is Radio Clash'

"You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat"
~'Know Your Rights'
