The Clash: Safe European Home

The Clash: Safe European Home

weird googles.jpg Another song that goes through my mind at the moment. Is it so safe? (The song's about the yardies in Jamaica giving Strummer and his public school chums a tough time.) And the martian reference, which I forgot, doesn't the IraqI war coverage look like the set of a B movie martian film?

"Well, I just got back an' I wish I never leave now,
Who dat martian arrival at the airport?,
How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic?,
The johnny on the corner was a very sympathetic.

I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery,
An' sitting here in my safe European home,
I don't wanna go back there again.
"
