The Clash - Safe European Home lyrics
[The Clash - Safe European Home lyrics]
Well, I just got back an I
Wish I never leave now (Where'd ya' go?)
Who that Martian arrival at the airport
Yeah? (Where'd ya' go?)
How many local dollars for
A local anesthetic? (Where'd ya' go?)
The Johnny on the corner
Wasn't very sympathetic (Where'd ya' go?)
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again
Wasn't I lucky, wouldn't it be lovely?
(Where'd ya' go?)
Send us all cards and have a lay in on Sunday
(Where'd ya' go?)
I was there for two weeks
So how come I never tell now?
(Where'd ya' go?)
That natty dread drinks at
The Sheraton Hotel, yeah?
(Where'd ya' go?)
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again
They got the sun and they got the palm trees
(Where'd ya' go?)
They got the weed and they got the taxis
(Where'd ya' go?)
Whoa, "The Harder They Come" and
The home of ol' Bluebeat
(Where'd ya' go?)
I'd stay and be a tourist but
I can't take the gun play (Where'd ya'?)
I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
An' sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again
What?
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail
Rudie come from Jamaica
'cause Rudie can't fail
(Our European home)
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail
(Grey European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie
Rudie can't fail (Dull European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie
Rudie can't fail (Dutty European home)
Rudie loots and Rudie shoots and Rudie
Gun man don't back down
(Instant European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie
Guns are comin' (Credit's European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie
Rudie can't fail
(The big lights European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie
Rudie he can't fail
(You got the nice guy European home)
Rudie come up from Jamaica
'cause Rudie can't fail
(Explosive European home)
Rudie come up from Jamaica
'cause Rudie can't fail
(And twenty-four Track European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie
Rudie loots and Rudie shoots
Elder come and the Rudie go but no
One knows where police must go
Wish I never leave now (Where'd ya' go?)
Who that Martian arrival at the airport
Yeah? (Where'd ya' go?)
How many local dollars for
A local anesthetic? (Where'd ya' go?)
The Johnny on the corner
Wasn't very sympathetic (Where'd ya' go?)

An' sitting here in my safe European home
