Safe European Home (Remastered) Songtext
von The Clash

Well, I just got back and I wish I′d 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 anesthetic? (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
And sitting here in my safe European home
Don′t want to go back there again

Wasn't I lucky, wouldn′t it be lovely? (where'd you go?)
Send us all cards, have a laying-in on Sunday (where′d you go?)
I was there for two weeks, so how come I never tell, now? (where'd you go?)
That natty dread drink at the Sheraton hotel, yeah (where′d you go?)

I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
And sitting here in my safe European home
Don't want to go back there again


They got the sun, and they got the palm trees (where'd you go?)
They got the weed, and they got the taxis (where′d you go?)
Whoa, the harder they come, the home of ol′ bluebeat (where'd you go?)
I′d stay and be a tourist but I can't take the gunplay (where′d you go?)

I went to the place where every white face
Is an invitation to robbery
And sitting here in my safe European home
Don't want to 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
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can′t fail (European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can't fail (European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can′t fail (European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can't fail (European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can′t fail (European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can't fail (European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can′t fail (European home)
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail (European home)
Rudie come from Jamaica, Rudie can't fail (explosive European home)
Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie, Rudie can′t fail (twenty-four track European home)
Elder come and a-Rudie go, no one knows where the policeman′s go
