Yeah the lyrics are shite. As a tune though it's yet to leave my head, one massive earworm.

Presumably the New Orleans thing didn’t happen.
Mick added the sweet lead guitar riff that the Clash II version was missing. He also took over on the chorus, singing a searing double tracked chorus line which perfectly counterpointed Joe's gruff verses.Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Jun 2020, 4:31pmCan you tell me what "This Is England" sounds like with Mick on board and what "The Bottom Line" sounds like with Joe singing?

The Bottom Line sounded like Joe singing the Bottom Line.
I think if they'd done This Is England as the Czech Song from 001 with Mick's input it would have been up there with the Clash's best songs.Marky Dread wrote: ↑14 Jun 2020, 5:27pmI wonder which is the stronger track?Heston wrote: ↑14 Jun 2020, 5:13pmMick added the sweet lead guitar riff that the Clash II version was missing.
