Lyrics
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton
Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton - เพลง
the bass riff is heavenly
I was born to hear the clash's bass riffs
every one of my favorite songs has a great bass line. took me 40 years to realize I am a bass head, always have been.
We need a bass boosted version
All hail the dub bass!
Simonon’s greatest moment!
Cool to see a punk band use different genres on their album.
Sandanista! yet??
Punk and Ska have always been extremely close especially with the UK first wave of punk and second wave ska
@@gregnp5472 right, Sandinista is a gem
Welcome to the Clash, Punk, Ska, Even Hip Hop.
analysis?
Possibly the greatest rock album ever. Every song a gem.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him.
One of them. Its a top 10 imho
Agree
@@HipnoDarkSorry for the late response, but can you list the others in the top 10?
Brand New Cadillac is meh
Every Clash song is excellent but the Bass on this song makes it my favourite.
Bass*
A milestone in history of Music 🎸🎸🎸
Everything about it is pure perfection
Yooo it’s REM
This guy always delivers but this track is possibly my favorite
The bass, the guitar, the drums and Paul's voice are amazing.
It was shit live, though.
only the bass...only the bass
Taken together: The Clash is amazing. ;)
YOU KNOW NO 2X DIED ABOUT GUITAR AND OTHER S RAEGE OLD TIMES LIKE
That’s the cleanest bass and drum sound I’ve ever heard.
Not to be a nuissance but have you heard the bass in Roundabout?
Listen to some of Klaus Flouride's work in the Dead Kennedy's and Flea in RHCP. Good shit!
oddly the bass on this track is played by the lead guitarist, the bass player is singing and didn't like doing both at the same time
@@agiledesignwithprimary3877 Simonson was crap on the bass, that’s why
@@agiledesignwithprimary3877 really? That's interesting
“This is not a time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time. This is what Joe Strummer trained you for.”
HENRY ROLLINS
Waldemar Basta Wtf you talking about THE CLASH IS A PUNK ROCK BAND
I’m tryna find a vid where did you hear him say that?!?
Waldemar Basta Same, this band is incredible 🤘
@Waldemar Basta Punk is an ethos, not just a genre.
Yes
The Clash were far more than a punk band, they strode over many genres,making a sound all of there own....fucking bliss!
Listening to this as a Brixton local🖖🏿 the reggae influence on the instrumental and vocals is interesting to me, but fitting as Brixton has a huge Caribbean community
That’s what they were going for duh
LECH POZNAN WAS TODAY WITH BODO CHAPION WHY IM IN HOUSE AND ITS IMBOSIIBLE IM MAGIC MEN 10 TO CLASH BRIGHTON 2 MINUTES TSAAH GOOOOOL FROM LECH
Paul Simonon was a bass master. He really makes every Clash song that much groovier.
Joe Strummer actually played bass on this song
This album and The Wall closed out one hell of a decade for music.
Allow me to add The Raven by The Stranglers too.
“It was also revealed that while recording the lead vocals for the song, Simonon sang while staring directly at a CBS executive who had visited the studio during the sessions, giving Simonon the desired amount of emotion in his voice.” Wikipedia
lol Punk af
Didn’t CBS promote them?
Yes, Joe, was born in Poverty, wasn't he? While his Diplomat father worked for the British Empire in India!!! Maybe, that's why they sold out for millions of dollars then broke up like the Pistols, after Virgin!!
@@paulsavage5057 give me a uk punk singer that didn't either drop the anarchist ideology or sell out/ start chasing the money
@@DeezN1892 Chumbawumba.
They never dropped their Anarchist ideal and only took the one album deal to spread their ideas farther.
And unlike many uk bands, they were Actual Anarchists.
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'd have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of "The Harder They Come"
You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
oh, the guns of Brixton
When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun?
You can crush us
You can bruise us
And even shoot us
But oh, the guns of Brixton
Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game was survivin'
As in heaven as in hell
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'd have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, guns of Brixton
Oh, guns of Brixton
Oh, guns of Brixton
Merci pour les paroles c'est super 👍👍👍
Thanks dude, wish lyrics were always pinned at the top of comments.
It's appreciated
Ty’s 4 lyrics mate!❤️👍🔥🇺🇸🙏
Thank you
@@Switcharoo12 Ty’s 4 reply! Your welcome! My fave song & London Calling 2nd! What a great band!.....🇺🇸👍🔥💯
Love the clash, I grew up during a dictatorship but those bastards didn't broke me down
which dictatorship
C...O...N....
Same here
W H I C H O N E?
@@redlord1660 communists
I'm not really a punk fan but the Clash is an exception. One of the best rock bands ever !
try the ruts
@@popatyourecords deez ruts
@@Nen_niN the ruts
@@popatyourecords deez ruts
Because they weren't only a punk band, as this song may show...
Beautiful mix of punk and reggae. Pure Genius!
Shit in a fight though...
London Calling must be one of the best albums ever!!!
like 30 years ahead of time
I hope not! That would mean it's sh*t if it's of *this* time..
This shit has always gone on, will always go on.
We're going backwards since then.
This song was as relevant in 1979 as it is in 2020
it was of it's time
Paul Simonon getting his shine, I ain't mad at it
happy 40 years LONDON CALLING !! 14-12-1979
if gta 6 takes place in London this should be the main theme
What about London Calling?
This is like a million dollar idea!
@@aria4943 London Calling feels kinda overplayed. Not to say this song isn't a little popular.
@@punkser Yeah, I also prefer Guns of Brixton but I think London Calling will fit perfectly with it.
I say either song would be good
The only band that matters.
The only band that matter-ed till the post-punk movement, the no-wave scene, and perhaps the sludge metal and doom metal scenes. Also the current "band that matters" is probably Death Grips, they're kind of the Clash of our time in just how intellectually critical they are in relation to modern topics like the internet and its culture, along with this demented and abrasive sound and lyrical worldview (that ironically does have their roots in hardcore punk)
JKC Grant naw that's the thornlie boys
You're just repeating corporate music hype.
JKC Grant before ramones
👍👍🏼👍🏻👍👍🏼👍🏻👍🏼👍🏻👍🏿👍🏾👍🏻👍🏾✌🏾✌🏻
That amazing bass line was sampled by Beats International on their single "Dub be good to me", which went to No. 1 in the U.K. Thank you, The Clash.
What a song this is
A Punk band singing a reggae song.
This band was essential.
I think it could be a metaphor of life. I mean, it's all about us to choose between to give up or to fight. When I have to do something hard or difficult, I always listen to this song. I'd like to embrace every member of the Clash, and thank them for this masterpiece.
I thought i was the only one who saw it that way. I want to hugh you right now
The lyrics "With your hands on your head (giving up)
. Or on the trigger of your gun? (fighting)" definitely prove this. I agree with you.
Oh mother of Christ just listen to the music and stop waffling.
@@fintonmainz7845 why so grumpy
I mean it's literally about vigilante justice against cops
I was fortunate to meet with Joe Strummer, early 1981, and he was a most charming and friendly SuperStar, as we met only Minutes before their Concert in Copenhagen, Denmark, 1981
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him.
My favorite part is after he says “trigger of your gun” where it goes BOOM BOOM BOOM boom boom boom.
after my dad died i inherited his cd's. judge dread. the clash. jefferson airplane.
loved it all as a teen black metal dude. london calling is still the BEST thing to happen to me... danke papa
What bands were you into as a teen
why the subscriptions tho
The most brilliant album ever made. Love the first two but unbelievable how well London Calling came together
Favorite band for 20 plus years. Hard to believe this came out in the late 70s. Punk rock warlord. 🖤
That bass, that bass does things to me y'all.
A song with a message that is sadly, still very relevant.
I mean the only time it will stop being relevant is when all police states are dismantled.
@@kevinwillems8720 Truth!
@@kevinwillems8720 Yeah, let the rebels take control. Wonderful idea.
The BATFE's AR-15 stabilizing brace rule decision, for example
@@Yes-gq6rr It's all just power, why should the rich have the power instead if the system was amoral in the first place. fuck the power. viva revolution
A band with three lead singers and a drummer that wrote the music to Rock the Casbah this is why they are one one the greatest bands ever.
The Clash is one of the best bands from the era. I've listened to this album many times.
Such a stunningly cool tune..with one of my favourite basslines of all time.
I love every human being with my heart and soul that gets drunk and jams this tune
I don't drink anymore I had heroin problems been clean for almost 2 years now.
I have jammed to this song many a moons all highed up.
@@inrainbows1829 Hell yeah bro
Love u too😁
You love drunkards?
This was an undercover gem that I had discovered afterwards when I had purchased the album over forty years ago. . It's the type of album that you would play and find something different than from the previous time that you did
i know, theres no filler, but it took me like a year to realize it. was a kid, gimme a break.
Come back
I wish Paul was lead vocals more often, he has talent :(
+KryptoChronicutelite Check out Red Angel Dragnet, his only other vocal, and one of my favorite Clash songs.
@@anarchyintheyoutube2069ALSO THAT CROOKED BEAT ON SANDINISTA !!!!!!!1980 !!!!!!
Rhe one clash song i can never stop playing. Paul Simonon was a legend from this song and the cover of the london calling album
Best rock band ever
Masterpiece!!
Best of British!
i saw them at The Warehouse in Nola approx 1983, phenomenal. they brought punk to tons of us teenagers n US n late 70s/early 80s
rob M.Lucky bugger i wish i saw The Clash live i bet it was awesome to see it
You lucky, lucky bastard! I had to hang out with the right people (the ones who could afford the albums) to even hear most of their early stuff.
So lucky damn
I already got that with The Ramones and Iggy Pop and the NY Punk Scene (CBGB was glorious back then) Malcolm was influenced by the NY scene and he would later create the Sex Pistols. The Clash was one of the best if not la crème de la crème, to come out of the Punk genre.
They could have taught you to vote.
Holy shit
This is where Cypress Hill got their inspiration from on the song "What's your name what's your number"
I used to be a heavy rap listener until two years ago, when I found out the hard way where that lifestyle leads you.. But the fact that Cypress Hill was inspired by this made me genuinely smile.
The story behind this song is a tearjerker
This song is always perfect when you need to hear it
going back to songs like this makes me realize this certain energy and soul will never be replicated at least not organically, I'm not saying there won't be any more good music in the future, but this vibe is different and will forever be immortal.
For me, the finest punk album.
Out of all bass lines I've ever heard this one is the best
More relevant today than you know.
Amazing band that broke down barriers so ahead of their time mixing punk with reggae and very experimental.
Crossing genres before it was ever thought of.
Total class.
They were ironically one of the more conservative acts in the post-punk scene, but they were able to make it a hit.
Their very best Album, every track minted in GOLD! Love it!
Punk Rock mais bem feito de todos os tempos.
La mejor canción de the Clash . RIFIFI , MORENO , BUENOS AIRES , ARGENTINA 🇦🇷 ⭐⭐⭐🏆🌎
The Clash always maintained their accents when singing.
At the START I thought my headphones where sparking but realised it was the best ever tune
Damn! I really love The Clash!
"You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun"
This will always give me chills
Everyone focuses on the bass, but the real music instict comes from the guitar, it's just amazing!!!
40. years today but still the only album that matters! Happy birthday to the best album in history of rock and roll!
Dejan Bohutinski I second that notion.
Gotta go with Tosh or Marley.
who in 2020????? the best group ever
The clash was punk ska regge funk they had it all every aongs got a groove
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him.
@@karlmorris-xz6iq Ight I'll check em out
the production on this album is sensational...u can crush us...
Love this timeless ditty...wish more Clash songs had his vocals
I feel like i remember this song being in Skate 3, I love the way he says “The guns of BRIXTON” but says Brixton so soft though 🔥👍
Esto va mas alla del Punk! London Calling, un disco que jamas me puede me puede faltar.
All I can say is that it was great to be young and spry when this music was 1st released; I cant even explain the experience of listening to this back then for the 1st time.
You don't get anything like this today the best music was the 60s 70s 80s and 90s
heard this song the first time i listened to london calling in full...i was maybe 14/15 and i remember how incredible the blend of anger and music was.i mean they have a complete emotional and rhetorical message in a song and still manage to create innovative music. still angry. still fucking love the clash
You and me both, David!
These lyrics foreshadow exactly what will be happening very soon here in the U.S.
Scary thinking bout it
The Clash Is The Best and Joe Is The Better !!!
You mean Paul, of course! :)
Adrian Butoi ahaha such a shame he only wrote 2 songs ever for the clash, the first one he wrote he didn’t want to sing so it was forever known as pauls tune. I have to admit he is a god awful bass player but this song really proves his ability for song writing, especially for ska, he grew up listening to the right type of records
:)))
This should be the anthem for all abused children.
Stand up for your rights!
It was around 1979 during the summer time, I was supposed to try to learn English spending 2 weeks inside a British family. The woman was a widow, she had a single daughter. They were nice but strange to me. They lived on Baker street in Leamington spa, I'm sorry as I even do not remember their names. I was 15, lucky enough to buy some records following a London trip. I remember listening this song trying to unterstand the lyrics written on the inside cover of the Double LP's. I was laying on the small living room carpet close to the records player spending my boring sunday afternoon in this strange atmosphere sipping some cold cup of tea.. 🍵. Cheers to the British citizen 💂et merci les Clash 🎸🎸🎸🎸🔊
True rock Lemmy always said. We play rock and roll. I thought Lemmy would out live me!
Possibly the greatest bass line ever. To say Paul didn’t even know bass till the debut. Brilliant x
Just discover thats song
Just in love With,so many influences,rock,punk,reagge
This should be the modern national anthem of the United States of America
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him.
L'hymne national français pour ma part😊
its official, Ive been living under a rock all my life!
Always loved this band and Lemmy was the perfect frontman.
The clash, sans aucun doute le meilleur groupe Punk!
Même apres tout ce temps...
YESSER UN QUÉBECOIS
Complètement d'accord ! (enfin des francophones ici)
Sauf que finalement ils étaient bcp plus que punk...
Effectivement
This is some truly unique double album . 👏
If you could describe the feeling of being high it’s this song- no explanation needed
YO MAN...all backs off the wall when DJ spun this at the downtown NYC club decades ago. I miss those days. Never thought I'd ever be that "Remember the day" guy. I might recall this song on my death bed.
Love this band! IMO the best music in the world came out of the U.K so much great music
the best
band '80 .long live punk.joe biggest
Ist of all there a band of the 70s /// And released in 1979 THERE NOT 80s ,
the deeper meaning of this song is not crime or gangster its the response of poverty and the response that comes when your tired of being poor and that the poor will protect the poor long live the guns
The mix on this track blows my top every time. Best album of all time uhhhhh it’s close
The Future is unwritten
Eternal classic, love from Czechia 😍🇨🇿🥰
Legendary bass line
Freedoms just a word until you loose it.
Definitely!
It's 2024 .
commies in the white house trying to take over. Political prisoner Trump, economy going to shit, illegals crossing the borders...... Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition .
Another banging tune from the clash. Love the groove to it. They were a top top band
All the best from Romania! Missing You...
Relevant as ever these days, in the UK and also worldwide.
Im so happy i found this again
first gangster rap song ever i belive
Once a rebel always a rebel, free the world
You can hear hints of reggae and hip hop in here.
Best punk band EVER!
