Minor correction, the correct lyric is probably "attack of a bluebeat" instead of "blues beat." Bluebeat was a term used to describe Jamaican music (early ska and R&B) in England. The term came from from a UK record label that released these types of music called Blue Beat Records.

It makes a lot more sense, given that The Clash sound is clearly more influenced by Jamaican music than straight up blues. |

OK, "steel" makes way more sense than "steal." I guess the idea is that when he makes a promise, it's as firm as steel and some people admire him for that. |

Anyone have any idea what the phrase "steals his promise" means? I've never heard it before... |

For anyone interested in the Spanish Civil War, I highly recommend "Homage to Catolonia" by George Orwell for a factual account of the conflict, and Hemimgway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls" for a fictional one. Hemingway isn't super friendly to the anarchists in his book, but it's still a great read. |
