Safe European Home
The Clash · The Story Of The Clash, Vol. 1 [1988]
Well, I just got back an' I wish I never leave now
(where'd ya go?)
Who dat Martian arrival at the airport yeah?
(where'd ya go?)
How many local dollars for a local anaesthetic?
(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
Sitting here in my safe European home
Don't wanna go back there again.
Wasn't lucky an' wouldn't it be loverly?
(where'd ya go?)
Send us all cards, an' have a laying in on a 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 now
(where'd ya 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.
They got the sun, an' they got the palm trees
(where'd ya go?)
They got the weed, an' they got the taxes
(where'd ya go?)
Whoa, The Harder They Come, an' the home of ol' bluebeat
(where'd ya go?)
I'd stay an' be a tourist but I can't take the gunplay
(where'd ya 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.
