If anything, London Calling is a darker version of this. This is generally about unemployment, racial/social tensions etcetc and the basic alienation of youth around this time. London Calling is about the Cold War and the apocalpse |

| The Clash – London Calling Lyrics

This song is one of my favourite songs of all time. As to what it is about:
<
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I live by the river>>
A nuclear error? The ice-age? Sun zooming in? This is all apocalpse imagery. Why? Because we were right in the middle of the Cold War. The Clash were about current politics, about the present, not the past.
And about London drowning...the river is the Thames, and the Clash lived in London. I don't know the exact meaning behind every line. But I always assumed this was about the Cold War |

Yeh I agree...I didn't think this song was about that reallly...it's not meant to be some kind of controversial thing against the NYC cops...oh well...but if they thought that then it's their choice yahey go the strokes!
Yeh there is a snorting noise...I alwaysthought it was just sniffing and then the sound of someone walking through the snow (!!!!) but yah whatever... |
