Lyrics
If you can play on the fiddle
How's about a British jig and reel?
Speaking King's English in quotation
As railhead towns feel the steel mills rust
Water froze
In the generation
Clear as winter ice
This is your paradise
There ain't no need for ya
There ain't no need for ya
Go straight to hell, boys, go straight to hell, boys
Wanna join in a chorus
Of the Amerasian blues?
When it's Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh City
Kiddie say papa papa papa papa pappa-san, take me home
See me got
Photo photo photograph of you and mamma mamma mamma-san
Of you and mamma mamma mamma-san
Let me tell you 'bout your blood, bamboo kid
It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice
Straight to hell
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell
Go straight to hell boys
Oh Papa-san
Please take me home
Oh Papa-san
Everybody, they wanna go home
So Mamma-san says
You want to play mind-crazed banjo
On the druggy-drag ragtime U.S.A.?
In Parkland International
Ha, junkie-dom U.S.A
Where pro-caine proves the purest rock man groove
And rat poison
The volatile Molotov says
Straight to hell
Can you really cough it up loud and strong?
The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier any hemisphere
In no-man's-land
There ain't no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived 'round here
Straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Go straight to hell, boys
Oh, papa-san, please take me home

I used to love playing this on the juke box back when the MIA paper planes song was popular... everyone got all excited and then confused. hahah. Love The Clash
HAHAHAHAHAHAH THE BEST
i just added this to my party playlist yesterday, cant wait to test it out haha
This is the generation that is disappointed in war, poverty, and the evil of FUCKIN politics,,
You need to play that now more than ever. And why is it the Clash songs are more relevant during war times? The answer is obvious...
Peace everyone!
They're both incredible songs
One of their greatest and saddest songs ever. Joe was a genius.
He was taken too soon.RIP.
Hauntingly mesmerizing. Great tune
Papai Noel
Rip Joe Strummer
you are a pioneer in that making stuff out of keyb0ards keys an' stuff! ?
my dad died this morning, the clash were his favorite band, as he died this song started playing, definitely his doing, would’ve gotten a right laugh out of it :)
Sorry to hear that man. Keep yo head up!
Stay strong 👍🙏
He had good taste
Sorry for your loss
Your dad sounded awesome ❤
40 years later and the musical arrangement for this song is still a mind blower. Joe was a rare talent
Yes the rhythm is really cool
I love Joe here, now, then ❤
my favorite part of youtube is the hyberbolic comments made by poor no nothings
know nothings
@@BlastinRope Good one, clown
One of the most important social songs. These should never be forgotten years
And “Know Your Rights” on the same album.
Is this Bill Marey?
sneaky oils quote?
Yep. no one today talks like this about war.
R.I.P. Joe Strummer, Straight To Heaven, Boy
Wonder what The Clash would say about 2020...my guess... ruclips.net/video/sBkKAuqAwWU/видео.html
@@williamvonschenk2273 I agree 100%👍
@@letitbeknown8126 Thanks for checking it out. Crazy days!
@@williamvonschenk2273 Too crazy!!! Stay safe out there!!!
@@letitbeknown8126 Hey...feel free to post in the song's comments area. The video was designed to stir up thought! :-)
The clash made 20 million dollars of the MIA sample. MIA and Diplo kept the other 20 million. Yeah that single paper plane song revenued 40 million alone
carlos curiel That's actually satisfying to hear.
1 w that’s so good to hear. Known the clash longer than MIA but I love hem both so much non the less
"Revenued"? Do you work in a place where things get "actioned"? Sheesh.
@@kekeruus On the internet maybe. But comparing a single language against all of them is like comparing a guy with a pistol against a rocket launcher + the whole US airforce.
money aint everything man. the clash are still remembered today while MIA isn't even heard of any longer.
casually acting like i knew mia sampled this all along and not just now in 2019
Charles Colburn do you follow plainlightblue too 😂
? @@Kassiienovaa
Charles Colburn on Instagram there’s an account called plainlightblue 10 mins after she posted this you commented this so I thought they were related, just a coincidence then 😂
love the honesty
Bahaha same reason I’m here lol
Still, after all these years, so brilliant, relevant and painful. "There ain't no asylum here. King Solomon he never lived 'round here."
By far the best group to emerge from the late seventies UK punk scene.
A depth and musicianship of the highest order. Bless 'em
Try the bands XTC or Magazine
@@SuperOhdannyboy hey, I love both of them but the Clash are a higher order. Peace
@@petrichor649 Try the Jam
Love XTC (I'm a Swindon boy, how could I not) and The Jam, but the Clash are the no. 1 band of that era/scene, hands down.
@@SuperOhdannyboy Yes :) Magazine were thinking man's punk, I wouldn't be here but for the Correct Use of Soap. And Statue of Liberty on John Peel ... I feel sorry for the young folk.
Best Clash song imo. Amazing lyrics, that dubby baseline, fantastic Topper rhythms and Mick getting experimental on guitar. I read once that after recording the lyrics at a studio in New York Joe came out of the subway and suddenly realised they'd just produced something amazing. Which they did. RIP.
I really do think that this is one of the greatest songs ever written.
Me too coltbolt
This and Johnny Appleseed.
It is
Great song I like MIA's use of the beat is best, which is unusual for me to say because I always like the original better!
in popular music it's one of the rare jewels
I can’t listen to this without becoming quite disturbed. I was backpacking around Southeast Asia and I was in Cambodia for about three weeks. I was directed to a group of Buddhist monks at one time and bought some weed and five acid tabs off them. I remember walking through this town tripping and seeing the grinding poverty, there were so many people begging with missing limbs. It was then that I learned about how Cambodia has perhaps the worlds highest concentration of anti personnel mines. There were women coming up to me begging holding out an empty baby bottle and holding an emaciated baby. It was the worst trip of my life. I felt like dirt. Like some awful poverty voyeur. I gave as much as I could to beggars and the hungry but I could never give enough. It was at this point that I understood why my Dad had become a doctor of tropical medicine.....he wanted to help such poor, unfortunate people. I just happened to be listening to this album on my Walkman at the time. I will never forget the inequity of that land. At the same time that I was seeing limbless beggars I was seeing Cambodians driving expensive SUV’s and Mercedes. There were Golden Buddhas. If I was poor in Cambodia I don’t think I’d beg, I’d get a gun (ten a penny out there) and mug Western holiday makers.
Kirby Weller very close to the Ek Phnom Pagoda near Battambang. Those monks nearly all smoke weed, it is plentiful in Cambodia. There are monasteries where almost all the monks are concerned with growing cannabis and making hashish. I imagine LSD comes from North Korea or from American military bases in the area. You can even get meth amphetamine in Cambodia. I was in Cambodia in the nineties. People like to get high all over the world, even in poverty stricken places. People are prepared to spend money on something that numbs them to the harsh and brutal conditions. I didn’t approach the monks looking for acid. I was directed to them when I asked someone for weed and the monk had a strip of tabs, so I bought five, they were going cheap.
@@jackduncan4228 That is a wild and difficult situation. Here is a visual expose as a music video...that almost asks what The Clash would make of 2020
ruclips.net/video/sBkKAuqAwWU/видео.html
Jack Duncan Ok so drug dealing "buddhist monks" not sure....
Yo, thanks for sharing... and i thought walking into a friday night Mcdonalds whilst tripping was hell on earth
Damn...i can't even begin to imagine.
Joe Strummer really was a legend, a hero, a genius...
Dare I say... a saint? That's a big affrimative!
Yes but I believe Mick Jones was the brains behind the sound of the Clash, he wrote this song too I think.
@@blueburro9226 vrdd
@@aaadeejay he wrote the music and Joe wrote the lyrics, 95% of Clash songs were done that way.
And a prefect at his public school.
Singing ain't just about the voice. It's more about sincerity, emotion and your passion towards music. Joe strummer was a proof of it. Croaky voice but it fit perfectly to the kind of music they made, the ambience around it.
I agree with this 100 percent his voice was never anything special but the emotion/ lyrics made the clash what they were
I agree. A lot of people say Ian Curtis of Joy Division has a terrible singing voice and while he does often fail to hit high notes in certain songs the effect his voice had in conjunction with the instruments was something that nobody could ever hope to replicate.
A friend of mine had a clash version of this in tape maybe it was live I was crying the whole way through and I couldn't even make out the lyrics to know what it was all about I just know it moved me with a great sadness.. Years later I asked Mrs Google and then I understood perfectly first from hearing the words and understanding the song but I knew tgere was something more so I asked Mrs Google again and yes tgere are certain chords when put together create a meloncholy withing and all around.... This is a perfect example and your comment made me want to elaborate on what you just said.... You feel it too🙏💔 it still makes me cry but I'm still trying to find that version... Respect 🙏
The way he sings is so unique, and I love it.
The only person that comes close to this is Damon Albarn, and he's equally as rare and talented imo. Special souls have special voices.
@@amirfreeman1557 Curtis's voice is downright hypnotic on "She's Lost Control". Combined with that nightmare-funk groove, his vocals draw you in like a whirlpool. It's like you're drowning in them.
This is their peak lyrically. It is not may favorite of all time but it is one of their best.
This song is actually really sad for me. But I still listen to it because it’s an amazing piece of work
It's hard not to feel a bit sad or pessimistic,and introspective upon hearing it.
Ralph Jackson very pessimistic
Well. Yeah. It's a sad song.
Rachel Lee why is it?
@@bonoyass because it's... meant to be sad. It's about the "half-breed" children left behind when soldiers go home after war. That's pretty damn sad.
My Dad Loved this. He used to "play the gasfire" to this. He'd have his arse to the fire in our shitty Leicester terraced house and whack the sides in time to the drums. I miss the early 80's and I miss my Dad. RIP
These are truly shitty times. At least then we still had something amounting to social services. Today it's only rich and poor.
The most complex and haunting song that The Clash ever wrote. An absolute masterpiece from an amazingly talented band. Thank you for leaving such a wonderful legacy.
It's 2021. Nearly forty years have passed since I first heard this and it still sounds just as incredible. The only band that matter(ed). RIP Joe.
An absolutely beautiful song that was ahead of its time The Clash in general were ahead of their time one of the most talented bands ever created
Wonder what the Clash would say about 2020? My guess....
ruclips.net/video/sBkKAuqAwWU/видео.html
err was not ahead of its time it was about the time and before
The Clash was always ahead of its time
@@green_wireThey were never ahead of their time. they were good.
Rediscovered this song last night on the way to work. Used to listen to it a lot as a teen in the 80s. Good memories of that time. So much wonderful music exploded on the scene. Thanks Joe and gang. RIP.
Tell you what, if you remember playing this side to side on vinyl you had some special times. The album just had no bad songs. If you played it loud, opened the windows, went outside to rake leaves, drink a beer on the porch, well that was a weekend well spent.
The meaning of this song is so sad. Joe Strummer was a genius. Always missed, a great man!
what is meaning?
@@zenbuddah420 crushed dreams, everyone has it bad
@@jkk4657 actually, it is about immigrants
It's not a simple meaning, the beginning is about leaving..
Home, family, whatever, the Ice and frozen land is the harsh conditions outside of whatever you were used to.
The analogies of the Vietnam war are both for the Vietnamese and the soldiers, no good feelings on either side.. both feeling like there's no place for them.
Yet conversely, those who struggled their hardest to come to America still celebrate the achievement and bring their cultural joys with them.. yet for the soldiers coming home.. it no longer feels welcoming..
Juxtapositions and hard choices, could probably best sum that up
@@zenbuddah420 I think its about a soldier falling in love with a woman in Vietnam, and leaving her alone with a child. Then after he leaves, the child is wondering where is papa san?
An incredibly beautiful poetic and sad song the passion joe sang with unbelievable
I saw the Clash 6 times, including the Famed Bonds Casinos shows. . The thrill of hearing these urgently important tunes live are seared into my brain forever. I remember the Pier in NYC was shaking so much I thought we'd sink it that night ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIP MY MAN JOE
one of the coolest works of sampling from one of the best bands of all time into a genius pop song 25 years later!
Can't help but wonder what The Clash might say 4 2020? My guess... ruclips.net/video/sBkKAuqAwWU/видео.html
This song, every time I hear it, usually at the end of some tv show episode, it makes me almost tear up. I don’t know if it’s the calmness of the music, the cave like echoing in the lyrics, or just, something else, something that I can never put my finger on
Good music w Substance will do that. It pulls at heart strings for unknown reasons. And, draws something from within our inner being!
Good call Robb! But I'll use one word instead: Magical
"I fly like paper, get high like pla..." oh wait...
@@PowerRangersFanAntiDinoFury "You need to calm down"
Yeah, me, too.
Okay but there's no way I was the only one confused the first time I heard paper planes 😂😂😂😂😂😂 like yasssssss oh wait
@@karabartley I never knew this was what she was sampling
You all need too chill the frick out!
This entire album is good. Listened to it during my college days (I’m old)
MIA is good
The Clash are Legends.
I read that as Clash of the Titans
@Allison Suleiman lol true
Both are legends
@Allison Suleiman oh you feel more special, unique and different saying that?
BobbleGum
Nope. It’s just the truth.
Thank you Joe. The greatest frontman in the world.

I used to listen to this song in the mid 80s. Always thought it was unique and just something about it that struck me back then. I just rediscover it some 40 years later and appreciate the genius of it all. Amazing song from lyrics to arrangement.
I remember buying this album and London calling on cassette at a flea market in the early 00s for like 2 bucks. Listening and crusing in my 83 Chrsyler New Yorker with my friends with some skateboarding in-between. Good times.
I remembered as a child I saw The Clash perform this song on SNL.I live in a rural area so it was the first time I saw The Clash.What a band!!!
the melody of this song is so intense it feels like it posesses you
Poetry on a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LEVEL than what anyone guessed could come out of the 80's!!!
Thanks for the music, Y'all !!!!
Holy hell, you haven't listened to much eighties music, have you?
“Let me tell you bout your blood bamboo kid, it ain’t Coca Cola, it’s rice.” “Wanna join in the chorus of the Amerasian Blues. When it’s Christmas out in Ho Chi Minh city, kiddy say “Pappa-san, take me home”... please everyone, look up the lyrics to this song. I loved this song because it just sounded good, then I looked up what tf these lyrics mean and holy shit did this song take a dreadful turn, and now it feels me with despair and sadness... so truly sad. This song is truly poetic in every sense of it. One of my favorite and may it forever be.
One of their best
My personal favorite is
White man in Hammersmith palais.
Ciaran O Sullivan mine to
Reggae influence on the Clash big time in this song... Loved them
This band deserves much recognition. Still relevant today.
Got combat rock on cd for my birthday a few years ago. Still one of my favourite albums.
Same :D
I love Green Day too btw
I inherited an original pressings of Combat Rock on vinyl and it’s still one of my most cherished possessions.
Joe, much loved and missed. Timeless stuff from The Clash
One of the greatest tunes from one of the greatest tunesters that ever picked up a guitar
Got that right, pioneer of punk rock
The Clash Saved My Life Many A Time As A Teenager! God Bless THE CLASH!
Meaghie Champion Amen
Me too.
...even in 2019, they come through once again ❤
Just as a teenager? Huh!
how
RIP joe strummer he will be playing guitar and singing in our hearts
Best song I ever blasted LOUD!!!!!!
it's like I'm feeling up, then feeling down all at once. The Clash rules!
Remember that by then the Clash were my only friends. The fact that I never met them is a minor issue.
I had my first kiss to this song
That would've been the perfect fucking song
Wonder what The Claah might say about 2020? My guess... ruclips.net/video/sBkKAuqAwWU/видео.html
Was it hellish?
@@baliksupper6043 very
Cracking tune! One of my favourite clash songs.
Immer noch eines der besten Musikstücke überhaupt und immer noch barndaktuell.
What a totally different kind of sound. Blew me away ! I started searching for more songs from The Clash after listening to Should I Stay or Should I Go. And when I heard this for the first time, the opening riff got me hooked and I knew immediately that this would be a good one .
The opening rift is haunting hypnotic and beautiful at the same time the way Jones plays the riff and topper headon lays down the drum beat
Listen to Sandinista LP!!! Total experimentation there!
*Londons Calling*
The Clash is one of the best Rock bands ever. Their sound evolved over a short period of recording and every album is a must have.
Try Bank Robber, my favourite Clash. Also have a listen to Mick Jones band he formed after the clash - big audio dynamite 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I was flunking out of engineering in 1985 when I first heard this song.
Not a lot of us from 1985 here but then again, here we are. Cheers!
is that a good or a bad thing because if you hate enginering that would be great news
I LOVE THE CLASH SO MUCH!
Absolutely love this song!
I’ve finally caught up about 13 years better later than never. Paper planes still a bop tho
Just.....flawless.
I love bands that can make a song with such poignant lyrics that will educate & entertain you & make you think. This one is a prime example of that.
The best of 1 of all their amazing, important and inspirational works xxx
🗣🔊Love, Love, Love
The Clash🎤🎸!!!!😎🤘
Fukken masterpiece!
the greatest Clash song in my opinion...
Hard to pick one, Spanish Bombs a fav of mine wrote my thesis for BA in history on the Abraham Lincoln Brigade of the Spanish Civil War ... 🙋🏼♂️ I'm biased 😉
Agreed.
exceptional musical class with a strong message relevant even more today than ever.
One of the greatest work ever
As usual I called MIA a genius when the genius really began here with one of the original rock icons. Thank you Clash.
MIA is also a genius too though x
@@GalfadezYeah she is an anti-vaxxer...
I adore this very sad poignant song....
Simply, a masterpiece.
Beautiful music and the lyrics make me feel 😥
Perfect song 💯👍
*It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice...Oh Papa-san*
lmfao
Ouch. I mean, I think that's meant as an insult.
Maybe.
@@georgetrapp6666 listen to it again mate, not insulting, honest. Want this as last tune. Don't get lyrics like that today. 😙
@@johnbohan9355 "Let me tell ya 'bout your blood family, kid. It ain't Coca-Cola, it's rice." Spoken from a fellow villager or stepfather, in derision of the child's claims to be half-American. But okay. Maybe we'll agree to disagree.
Always brings me to a more relative state. Thank. The Clash.
The drums in here are absolute funky. Horn too! 🖤
This masterpiece hits me deeeeep...
One of the best songs to me ♡
Love the album
Such a bittersweet sounding tune
Im here cuz i still love The Clash.
Anna DaCW Me too
*Anna DaCW* I have grown tired of people posting the weird reasons they are watching/listening to a YT video. Your reason is perfect. Thank you. _AND_ a Clash fan? Married? (Just kidding.) But extra points for being a Clash fan.
Same!! Will ALWAYS love The Clash.
Anna DaCW never stop listening to the Clash!
benjaminlewis75 you can’t just say those two songs while forgetting London calling, probably one of the top 10 albums of all time
A masterpiece band
The power of music!
great song
Brilliant forever
Amazing song ✌👍
Never heard this before but the Paper Planes sample was obvious from the jump. Love it.
Great song!!
Brillante!!!! Grandioso!!
MIA paper planes, i thought it was an original masterpiece, Ive been lied to this whole time
Shit is definitely still a masterpiece!!! Masterpieces birth others...
@@This-Aint-No-Disco Honestly, I find the MIA song quite sucky! However, I do find the juxtaposing of the gunfire with the cash register interesting. Sampling and mixing are her forte ...lyrics and singing, not so much.
@@markgreen2170 , Ohhh no man!!! There's no opinion allowed for that song... If you dislike it then you just have no style, I'm sorry 😂😂😂
But you found the thruth and the clash!
All today just copy songs. Creative bands are done...
Love the Clash
Love this
Here because Eliot and Ricky from *Internet Today,* best Duo and Channel on RUclips.
