The Cavalry aint coming.
The Clash - Death Or Glory
Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the
world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
Hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But I believe in this-and it's been tested by research
he who fucks nuns will later join the church
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Fear in the down sex
they say lie low
You say ok
don’t wanna play a show
No other thinking
was it death or glory now
Playing the blues of kings
sure looks better now
Death or glory just another story
Death or glory just another story
From every dingy basement on every dingy street
every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
That's just the beat of time-the beat that must go on
If you’ve been trying for years we already heard your song
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story
Gonna march a long way
Fight a long time
Get to travel over mountains
Got to travel over seas
We're gonna fight your brother
We're gonna fight til you lose
We're gonna raise trouble
We're gonna raise hell
We're gonna fight your brother
We're gonna raise hell
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story
Death or glory just another story
Death or glory becomes just another story

Thought I'd pass a little story onto you. Sometime, in 78, the Clash were in Montreal. A friend and I accidentally ran into Joe Strummer, (in of all places) an ice cream store that no longer exists on Ste. Catherine St. My friend was freaking out, and I was calm. I apologized for my friend, and he thanked me for my calmness. He actually paid for our ice creams, and spoke to us very briefly about his travels. He was charming, beautiful, and I will always remember him as that 16 year old girl who accidentally met a beautiful soul. Signed "a 48 year old mom, housewife, caregiver but always, a Clash City Rocker." ;-)

Interesting that you'd use Death Or Glory for a tribute. It was a song I thought of when I was writing a post about Martin Streek. I used it in the title of my post. The news was hard for me to hear. I can only imagine what it's doing to you.

Well said. My condolences to you George on your loss. His memory will live on.
