Safe European Home Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Clash
Review The Song (10)Print the Lyrics
Well I just got back an’ I wish I never leave now (where’d you go?)
Who dat Martian arrival at the airport yeah? (Where’d you go?)
How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic? (Where’d you go?)
The Johnny on the corner wasn't very sympathetic (where’d you go?)

I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
Sitting here in my safe European home
Don’t wanna go back there again

Wasn’t I lucky and wouldn’t it be loverly? (Where’d you go?)
Send us all cards, and have a lay in on Sunday (where’d you go?)
I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell (where’d you go?)
That natty dread drinks at the Sheraton Hotel yeah? (Where’d you go?)

I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery
Sitting here in my safe European home
Don’t wanna go back there again

Ah-ah
Ah-ah
Ah-ah

They got the sun and they got the palm tress (where’d you go?)
They got the weed, and they got the taxies (where’d you go?)
Whoa, the harder they come, n’ the home of ol’ Bluebeat (where’d you go?)
Yes I’d stay and be a tourist but can’t take the gun play (where’d you?)

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

Yeah? Rudie come from Jamaica Rudie can’t fail
Rudie come from Jamaica Rudie can’t fail
Rudie come from Jamaica cos Rudie can’ t fail
Rudie come From Jamaica rude cant fail
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can’t fail
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can’t fail
A-Rudie loot and a-Rudie shoot and a-Rudie come up then back down
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie *&^$&£”£%£*
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can’t fail
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie he can’t fail
Nice guy European home
Explosive European home
Twenty Four Track European home
Yes he come and yes he go knows what Rudie knows

Review about Safe European Home

One of best Clash songs | Reviewer: Al Nicol | 8/8/09

I want this song played at my funeral, it is amazing. It is inspired when Joe n Mick Jones went to Jamaica in order to write 2nd album and felt intimidated when they tried to buy some gear from the locals. They just wanted to come home to a..............

Fabulous song and even better live!!!!



wonder why? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/14/09

Sitting here in my safe european office, Mickey, I'm wondering why people think Americans are dense. Was the reference to every white face being an invitation to robbery, the natty dreads at the Sheraton, or the Rudie come from Jamaica part that made you think this song was about America?



Favorite Clash song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/4/08

I've actually read that this song is about how Joe went to Jamaica and found out it wasn't all it was cracked up to be. They were always trying to rip him off and just saw him as white scam fodder.
I originally thought it was about the U.S. before reading the lyrics too, but now that idea really makes no sense at all.



It stands the test of time. | Reviewer: Mickey | 7/20/08

As a native born American, I lost count on how many Europeans unfairly critisize our country. Yes, we were lied to by our once trusted and respected leaders and we were raised for generations to support such decisions.

Please remind yourself that is is always easy to slam us from your "Safe European Home". As Bukowski put it, "We are born into this."

The Clash forever.



shaken! | Reviewer: richard | 1/22/08

I first heard this song on a walkman when I was about 14 it blew me away completely. The energy and sadness of this song is amazing, one of my all time favourites. Love the clip too!



Boy can ya feel dis one | Reviewer: Brian | 8/31/07

I was a kid in 1st or 2nd year when dis came out. Before punk I was listening to abba and t rex like most kids my age. The Clash blew my mind, the energy, the vibes. I started going to all their gigs. Safe european home is (as the guy above says is the 1st track, and I still remember the feeling 1st time I put it on



first one out... | Reviewer: ras baba o | 2/15/07

ya. dis 'n good. the production on this album kind of ruined it for me, but there are several gems that stand out. It's the Clash not Blue Oyster Cult! "I'd stay and be a tourist, but I can't take the gun play!" Best song on the album.



so....utterly classic | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/11/06

i bought GEER album when it came out al those years ago and it was the 1st track on it it blows you away. beyond good. beyond great. ta ra, jo. it's true... the good always die too soon. another great song.. jail guitar doors.

The Best Clash Track Ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/24/06

The Clash at their power-punk best (could never figure out why it wasn't released as a single at the time?). In fact so good, I'm having this played at my funeral - if you've gone, you may as well go out with a bang!



Top Song | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/9/05

I love this track. I've got it on LP, tape, CD and Ipod and I've got it from the Studio and Live. It's probably the best track they ever did.
