Rapidshare London Calling Meaning

General Comment'London's drowning and I live by the river,' comes from the concern that if the Thames burst its banks, most of central London would be flooded. Strummer was actually living in a high rise flat when he penned this.' This is London calling.' Was used by the BBC World Service station to identify themselves in broadcasting to occupied companies during WWII.'

A nuclear error' is a reference to what happened at Three Mile Island, in 1979.The lyrics are also said to reflect the bands desperation at their debt, lack of management and internal arguments etc'Now don't look to us, all that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust.' Is a reference to their insecurities over their position as a band, post 1977 punk rock boom in England.It was certainly a new song for The Clash. They'd rarely used minor keys before. It has a kind of apocolyptic feel, with Topper's drumming, perfectly synchronised to staccato guitar, the deliberation in the tempo, Strummers baleful delivery and animalisti howling really emphasise the paranoia and desperation.Note how the song doesn't fade out or anything; it breaks down. In a kind of Tonwshend-esque manner.

General CommentThis song, and most Clash songs have to be seen as a part of ( and a response to ) the time and place that they were written in. If you were'nt in England in the mid to late '70's it's really hard to imagine how bleak a place it was. There simply were NO jobs. No way to stand up and have any pride and the Government was completely out of touch with both its young citizens and its ever increasing minority population. Taken in that context, most of the songs of the Clash ARE about war; it's just that the war is metaphorical. The war is poor vs rich, young vs old and most importantly lower class against middle and upper class. London Calling is the closest thing to an actual manifesto we ever got out of the clash.

What they're sayng is that they ARE London (the youth and the artists and the agitators ) and they are calling out to the apathy of the rest of the country (zombies of death?) It's a fantastic song, and I'm not sure that they ever equalled this mix of passion and clarity of message again. General CommentI agree with those who have said that the song is about chaos, in the form of anarchy/revolution, enveloping London. Similar to war, but destruction from within. 'London calling' was a tagline during WW2, when London was being the hardest hit (by bombing) of anywhere. In 1979, they were saying that London was being the hardest hit again.I've puzzled over the words 'A nuclear era, but I have no fear; London is drowning and I live by the river', and I've read what people here have said.

My conclusion is that he's saying that he has no fear OF the nuclear error. He won't be alive long enough to suffer from that BECAUSE London is drowning and he lives by the river.

Literally, the anarchy that is coming will sweep over London before the rest of the world succumbs.The song definitely has a greatness beyond the lyrics. The anger and urgency of the song is clear, and you can absorb that from even isolated lyrics you hear over the instruments in a casual listen. General CommentSome of the lines contradict themselves, like'The Ice Age is coming, the sun's zooming in.Meltdown expected; the wheat's growing thin.Engines stopped running.' Every time I hear that part, I think of someone walking down the street and hearing bits and pieces of other people's conversations about what's going on.

Someone thinks the Ice Age is coming, another person says the sun's zooming in, and 'meltdown expected, the wheat's growing thin, engines stopped running' sound like things heard on the news, like a weather forecast and two breaking news updates, maybe.As for the 'but I have no fear, 'cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river' line that everyone's so confused by, I really don't see what's so confusing about it. Even though London's drowning, he has o fear because he lives by the river, so he most likely won't suffer as much because he will be one of the first to die when the river overflows. General CommentThis song is one of my favourite songs of all time. As to what it is about:A nuclear error? Sun zooming in?

This is all apocalpse imagery. 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. General CommentEverything I was thinking about this song has pretty much been covered.

I think one thing I could point out is my interpretation of the 'Imitation zone - another breath' verse. I think Joe is trying to say here that the imitation zone is the London youth looking to bands such as The Sex Pistols and The Clash to save them, and he's telling them to 'forget it' because there's really nothing he, or any of the others, can do for them. They have to do what they can themselves, as that's the only way the world can move forward. The Zombies of Death are the people so afraid of all the perils mentioned in the chorus, that they stop living life and trying to make a difference.

They are 'holding out,' and waiting for the inevitable disaster. But Joe doesn't care - he's just going to do what he can, and if the apocalypse arrives, so be it. Dumb interpretation, I know, but that's just what I think.
