The Clash en directo, 'The Guns of Brixton'... Paul Simonon, bajista del grupo, compuso esta popular canción incluida en el disco 'London Calling' apremiado por la necesidad de ganar también como sus compañeros con los royalties derivados de la autoría. Joe Strummer, el cantante de los Clash, le animó durante la grabación del disco para que tomara el micro: "es tu canción, cántala tú" y así lo hicieron a pesar de que Simonon sólo había puesto voz a los coros hasta entonces. Así que se convirtió en su número especial en todo espectáculo de los Clash y posteriores aventuras musicales. En ella habla del barrio donde creció (un suburbio multicultural de Londres) utilizando referencias del cine Western y de la cultura reggae (con especial mención a la película 'The Harder They Come').

Joe Strummer, lead singer in The Clash, encouraged him during the recording sessions to take the mic: "is your song, you sing it" and he did so even though Simonon had only done some back singing before. So it became his special act on every show of The Clash and his later musical adventures. The song is about the neighborhood where he grew up (a multicultural suburb of London) using Western films and reggae culture references (with special mention to the movie 'The Harder They Come').
