That song is so reminiscent of "Shakin' all over" by Eddie Cochran.

Clash lyrics: where do you begin?

The chorus of Spanish Bombs, for the shear exuberance and rythmn
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón
Spanish bombs, yo te quiero infinito
yo te quiero oh mi corazón

The Guns of Brixton: (a predominantly black area of London, S. of the river - from the time of the riots)
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

...

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

The chorus of London Calling, for the flow and sense of it:

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river

... for a small sample! :-)
