* "Spanish Bombs," about the UsefulNotes/SpanishCivilWar.
* "The Right Profile," about actor Creator/MontgomeryClift.
* "Straight to Hell," about the death of manufacturing, abandoned Vietnamese children of American GI's, urban decay, and the plight of immigrants.
* "Somebody Got Murdered," about a murder that no one pays attention to.
* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZw23sWlyG0 Lost in the Supermarket]]", about feelings of disillusionment and loneliness in an increasingly commercialised world.
** Especially due to the hints at the backstory of the protagonist: "I wasn't born, so much as I fell out/Nobody seemed to notice me/", or "I heard the people who lived on the ceiling/Scream and fight most scarily/Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling/That's how it's been, all around me" suggests a fairly sad, emotionally stunted start: it's been suggested that second set of lyrics were Joe Strummer's attempt at imagining Mick Jones' childhood. The rest of the song is fairly melancholy as well.
* The story of Topper's sacking from the band, and everything that happened to him before he finally got clean is completely heartbreaking.
* The last photos of the band with Topper are pretty depressing, especially given the sad looks on everyone's faces, and that Headon was sacked the day after the session.
