And I didn't want to like it but I couldn't help myself it was not only good was infectious, perhaps the best. That was all a long time ago on the pathetic planet called Earth. Beautiful plants and animals it's the people that are fuct ever since I forgot about this song

A post-Clash collaboration between Mick Jones and Joe Strummer, released on the second album of (underrated IMHO) group Big Audio Dynamite in 1986.



The first verse has some nice lyrical observations on life in mid-80s Los Angeles: the sharp increase in crack addiction ("lot of rockheads on the block"), the pull of street gangs ("V13" = a Mexican gang then powerful in the Oakwood aka "Ghost Town" neighborhood of Venice), etc.

A lot of rockheads on the block,
Dougie died and Sue got frocked.
If the stove is hot, then I ain't lost.
And Rosa says my star is crossed.

Little Jamie writes V 13,
Comes in by the door, goes out by the screen.
He don't listen to me, he knows everything.
Girls on the avenue ask me to sing.

Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play.

Another quality selection from you
 
Hit song in the UK. My friends used to call them Japan Duran except Duran Duran, especially the look of a keyboardist Nick Rhodes and the rubbery bass playing of John Taylor, copied Japan not the other way around.
