Joe Light (I Hired a Contract Killer - Ho affittato un Aki).

He also made a brief appearance in Aki Kaurismäki’s 1990 film I Hired a Contract Killer as a guitarist in a pub, performing two songs (“Burning Lights“ and “Afro-Cuban Bebop“). These were released as a promotional 7“ single limited to a few hundred copies, credited to “Joe Strummer & the Astro Physicians“. The “Astro Physicians“ were in fact The Pogues (“Afro-Cuban Bebop“ got a re-release on The Pogues’ 2008 box set). Burning Lights Some Dreams Are Made For Children but Most Grow Old With Us and When The Air Can Hope To Hold On and To The Ground From Dust To Rust. burning Lights In The Desert such A Sign Only You Would Know your Running Tyres, They’re Out Of Pressure such A Sign Only You Would Know and I’ve Been A Long Haul Driver moving Things But The Cops Don’t Know now I Can See The Writing you Are The Last Of The Buffalo burning Lights In The Desert such A Sign Only You Would Know your Running Tyres, They’re Out Of Pressure such A Sign Only You Would Know. now I’ve Been To California and I’ve Been To New South Wales sometimes I, I Pull Over when I Realise I’ve Left No Trace burning Lights In The Desert such A Sign Only You Would Know your Running Tyres, They’re Out Of Pressure such A Sign Only You Would Know
