Does anyone know the name of the song that plays right at the end of the scene where he visits his mom at the nursing home and it plays into where he is visiting his dads grave site. The lyrics say something like “gotta find a way outta here” or something. Thanks.

All I know is that it’s not on either of the soundtrack volumes for the movie.

Found this on another forum:

> It’s not actually a song! It’s part of the score which Joe Strummer supplied to the movie and only features two lines - “I say somebody will find a way outta here, here’s hoping somebody can find a way outta here” or some think it is “I pray somebody will get us outta here, I’m hoping somebody will get us outta here”. Either way its not available.

Can’t add anything other than that I’ve been wondering about that song for the longest time, and it’s definitely Joe Strummer’s voice. I thought I had a pretty decent handle on the Clash’s repertoire, but I still surveyed that, as well as his own collections, including the obligatory collection that came out right after he passed, to no avail. Thanks for the info though, I can only hope it will someday be available for his fans. An underappreciated creator, for sure.
