SotD: "Lost in the Supermarket" - The Clash (1979)

There was a period in time when "the only band that mattered" was The Clash. Listening to London Calling now, it's easy to see who, exactly, lived by that mantra. There's the early 80s punk (Minor Threat, Husker Du), pop-punk of the 90s (Green Day, Foo Fighters) and they certain had alot to do with the afro-pop movement and its recent revival. What isn't always noted with The Clash is that they were punksters with more than political/rebelious snarls. Their lyrics we're often deep, social commentary, and I might even go as far as saying they are the most intelligent punk band ever. Who else could gets millions to cheer "rock the Casbah"?

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see
