The bit about bells, is an adaptation of a the nursery rhyme "Oranges and Lemons". It does also feature in Orwells' 1984, but I don't think that is how they are using it. The Clash have just used the tune and pace of the rhyme and replaced churches with their own choice of musicians. It's a bit funny and clever.
