The Clash-Clash City Rockers-Original 7 inch.

Clash City Rockers-Irvine Welsh

The opening chopped guitar riff, executed with such abrupt power and precision, immediately informs you that you’re in the presence of true greatness. Punk was primarily a male youth culture and the song audaciously kicks over the previous lads’ icons – Bowie and (the pre-nonce) Gary Glitter. It was saying that it wasn’t wearing make-up that made us shocking: it was because we were obnoxious, spotty, angry, bored, young louts.

This was one of the songs that made me leave home and go to London. It was always on at all hours in the Shepherd’s Bush squat. I became an insomniac because of this song. Every time you put it on, you were making a statement: this is our time and we will not be denied.

A lot of water, beer, amphetamines and music has flowed under the bridge since then. But under the right conditions – for example, blasting out from a Stoke Newington stereo on a hot London summer’s day – I feel a shiver down my spine and nearly 30 years seem to have been shed.
