Clash Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What man?
The man who keeps me from the lonely, the only
He gives me what I need
What you need? What you got?
I need it all so badly
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
This year I've lost some friends
Some friends? What friends?
I dunno, I ain't even noticed
You see, I gotta go out again
Again? My friend
I gotta see the main man
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
It's hateful
And it's paid for and I'm so grateful to be nowhere
I killed all my nerves
My nerves? What swerves?
And I can't drive so steady, and already
I've lost my memory
My mind? Behind!
I can't see so clearly
Oh, anything I want he gives it to me
Anything I want he gives it, but not for free
Anything I want, anything I want, anything I want, anything I want, anything I want
"Hateful" is a song by The Clash, sung by Joe Strummer. It tells the story of a person who has a friend who provides him with everything he needs, but not for free, and how he's grateful to be "nowhere" and lost some friends. The first stanza shows the person's dependence on his friend who keeps him from being lonely and provides everything he needs. However, the last line of the stanza seems to suggest that the person is addicted to something, and his friend provides it to him.
The next stanza shows that the person has lost some friends but doesn't seem to care. He still continues to go out and see his "main man" who gives him everything. The repetition of the line "anything I want he gives it to me" suggests that the person is obsessed with material possessions.
The third stanza is more disturbing as the person reveals that he has killed all his nerves, lost his memory, and can't see clearly. This suggests that he is not in control of his life and is suffering the consequences of his addiction. However, he still continues to depend on his friend for everything.
Overall, the song is a critique of materialism and addiction, showing how it can lead to the destruction of oneself and one's relationships.

I've forgotten things
My mind? Behind!
My mind is not functioning properly!
I can't see so clearly
I'm not able to see things clearly

One of the TOP TEN Rock albums ever made. Get a copy of this album, play it loud and you will not be able to sit still.

I love how this song is almost written like a love song, but instead of being about a girl it's about a guy who sells you drugs. Just like how a girl could make you feel good, a drug dealer gives you guaranteed good feelings and "anything you want" for the right price. It's a hateful, toxic relationship that might ruin your friendships but the drugs make you not care, and that's what this song is talking about. Absolutely genius songwriting.

I realized,just enjoying this kind of music,"this year I lost some friends",about 1980,I did notice.A sad parting.They went right in their Izods and topsiders and I went left in my biker jacket and Levi's.
