Eyesight to the Blind (The Hawk) by The Who : London Calling by The Clash
I know LC is mostly Kinks' Dead End Streets but there's some Who there too.

Simmo mentioned it on Radio 2 the other day, and by golly, he's right!
Based on the auld folk song Johnny Todd, which makes perfect Clash sense -- folk song and cop show TV Theme.

Same staccato chords I suppose, you get a narrow pass. Love that song though, I might get Tommy'ed up now.Chuck Mangione wrote:Eyesight to the Blind (The Hawk) by The Who : London Calling by The Clash

Hip, Neck and Thigh always reminded me of an Everley Bros song but I can't remember which one.
