The Clash - The Prisoner

[snail4785]

I remember listening to this in 1981 during my freshman year at Princeton. It got me pumped up for the years to come. It was always a song to drink a few beers to before going to the parties!!

With all the shit going on in the world!! where are the joe strumers(The Clash) the joey shit heads(D.O.A)HR'S(Bad Brains) in the 90s we had the emergence of some great meatal punk death bands Fear Factory, System of a Down,even early otep, but there been nothing since mid to late 90's..As if bush&obama administration is running around knocking off any one with a voice! I know that with all the people out there doing protests some of you must have something worth saying

@nydefect look into real hip hop guys like akala and lowkey peace.

More than 25 years ago I had a tape of the rare E.P. "Black Market Clash". Then I lost that beloved tape. Now I'm listening to "The Prisoner": I'm crying for joy and nostalgia. Thank you, Lostritza.

THE PRISONER LIVES IN CAMDEN TOWN

SELLING REVOLUTION

THE PRISONER LOADS HIS TRACKING ARM UP

WITH SELF-DISILLUSION

YOUR MOTHER DOES THE WASHING UP

YOUR OLD MAN DIGS THE GARDEN

YOU'RE ONLY FREE TO DODGE THE COPS

AN' BUNK THE TRAIN TO STARDOM

[clashboy1977]

@jenssalumae2 is it not "the prisoner loads his dragunov up while we're still disillusioned"? always thought it was!

[LawlAtMCVids]

@jenssalumae2 When i read this i had the Jack in the box tune in my head and this goes along perfectly with it :P

[TheSean42]

fucking awesome track

[crapple009]

@TheSean42 Yes- right you are!!

[mscarborough12]

so underrated

[crapple009]

@mscarborough12 While Green Day remains so overrated. A sad and unjust world indeed.

[stoprejectingmynames]

Such a great song, the Clash are awesome.

[dmrichkt]

Album version???? What? a later compilation? This was the 'b' side to' White Man.'

True, though not easy to find

[9hawklord]

@dmrichkt It came out as a 10" Black Market Clash and then later as a cd Super Black Market Clash

[dmrichkt]

@9hawklord

I know. But it was the 'b; side of 'White Man" first as stated.

[pwyndam]

@dmrichkt I have this single. Ex girlfriend found it at a flea market in London when she was vacationing. 

[SuperGrimupnorth]
