Should I Stay or Should I Go by The Clash

Darling you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here till the end of time
So you got to let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
It's always tease tease tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine, and next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I Stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
Esta indecision me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me quieres, librame
Exactly whom I'm supposed to be
Digame quien tengo ser
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?
Sabes que ropas me queda?
Come on and let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Me debo ir o quedarme?
Split
Should I stay or should I go now?
Me entra frio por los ojos
Should I stay or should I go now?
Me entra frio por los ojos
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy va a haber peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo va a ser doble
So you gotta let me know
Me tienes que decir
Should I cool it or should I blow?
Should I stay or should I go now?
Me entra frio por los ojos
If I go there will be trouble
Si me voy va a haber peligro
And if I stay it will be double
Si me quedo va a ser doble
So you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go

Now this is one of my all time favorites

It's been on mix tapes since junior high

It's one you turn the volume up every time it comes on in the car

I also ask myself this question rather frequently, and sometimes break out in song

I remember Rock the Casbah was big on MTV at the time, and I was 10

I liked the song, but the video was odd and I had no idea who those blokes were

Then they dropped this video, and I was a Clash fan

They were punk rock stars and they were badass mofos

My sister bought the album and we played it into the dirt

So I went looking through by Dad's stack of records

~ and found 'London Calling' and 'Sandinista' - all thanks to this song

10 was a good year

PS ~ this song is on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest songs of all time

Man. It always feels nice to give up responsibility and let someone else make a decision for you. It’s easier to blame someone else for your own inability to make a decision. The clash would have been an interesting band to be friends with. I imagine much drama. Joe strummer is a rad songwriter. Sometimes even angry crazy people can still have talent.
