The Clash. Quite simply, one of THE best rock groups ever formed

Lyrically one of the best Clash songs for sure. How can a couple of lines say so much. Genius that's how

First album I brought was their first one in 1977 and still listen to them going to work. I will be 64 this coming May.

you can say what ever you want about cut the crap, but this is a lyrics masterpiece. rest in peace Joe, you are deeply missed by your fans...

As a American... I love the clash I loved theme sence I was little my dad introduced this band to me and this is my favorite song! :) respect to england

I love England, such a great people with proud history, and hope to visit again someday.

They went out with a bang on this wonderful song. Sadly missed band. Very great memories.

That I saw this band on stage live is one of those Rock and Roll miracles. The Who was in town that same evening, 1982. Clash warmed up.

Joe Strummer really was something special, RIP you legend.

Criminally underrated and a very moving song

I'm American and this song still touches me so good

I was young, very young, about 17 when The Clash, came to Toronto, in 77 or 78, I will never forget that concert. They were beyond great, they were young,and, played some of the greatest rock and roll music of all time. They are a benchmark now, ALL. new bands are judged by how they compare to The Clash. I am now 57 years old, not wealthy, but still ok for a blue collar worker, and I will still spin "give "Em enough rope". or side 3 or 4 of "Sandinista". Or, if I have enough Newcastle Brown! in the house on a Saturday! I may spin the whole first album :)! Anyway I hope y'all enjoy There will never be another "The Clash" RIP, Joe thank you

R.I.P Joe, 11 years on 22/12/13, you are a legend, your music will live on forever, the frontman of the greatest band ever.

Listening to this because I'm visiting England and walking all the time.

What a tune, so sorrowful, yet majestic and uplifting.

I miss the clash badly. they made so many great songs

Time will never dilute the sentiment or A1 awesomeness of this masterpiece. RIP Joe

The 80s in 4 minutes, genius. Criminally underrated genius

beautiful song- The greatest band ever!

I won't be able to listen to this without remembering the image of Vince White talking about how England as he knew it doesn't exist anymore while he fails to hold back tears.

It is amazing that any song can be this great.

This song could still be an anthem for today!

This Is England one of my favourite clash songs, Joe Strummer really was something else.

wow! interesting comments Joe Strummer is to me a poet a legend someone who provided powerful social comment through strong uplifting music and poetry against the grain of the times Thankyou Joe. still lifting me up many years later

I like this song. I know it didn't get much credit, but I think it's cool. "I got my motorcycle jacket, but I'm walking all the time"

"I got my motorcycle jacket on, but I'm walking all the time" Yep, that's me on the Daily.

This is a masterpiece

this knife of sheffield steel, yeah, respect from sheffield.

for some reason, when joe died this was the song i played most even though i didnt really like it when it came out..its now one of my favourites

This song holds even more power now.

Still listening in 2021 one of the best bands ever

Classic Clash. Love this. Brilliant!

This song is like the perfect combination of well-written and catchy.

RIP Joe Strummer Joe and the clash were something else! The greatest punk rock band.

I always love this song in 2022.

British by birth, English by the grace of God. This is England, no surrender.

Wicked sound.The Clash's "Thats entertainment"

the clash. .this is England é um som de pirar ...nunca deixo de ouvir. ..que gosta de som punk ...se satisfai. ..

Favorite group of all time! From the late 70" to the early 80" God save the queen...

Such a moving piece of music with brilliant lyrics. Testament to the struggle of young people in England in the classes without privilege that carry the social and financial burden for all the blood sucking aristocratic classes who think they are the master race.

i'm argentinian and love this song

Sorry guys, cant get into this, "Something about England" off the Sandinista LP.....fucking love it, brings me to tears, AND I'm Scots !!!

Brings ya to tears this song

As powerful today as it ever was

Mick was sorely missed when it came to song writing on this album

I Saw the clash Live in 1985, Although mick jones had been given the boot by that point, They were still amazing, I really wish joe strummer was still here today.

Great song greetings from Greece

Goosebumps. Great stuff.

This was a song against the establishment, it wasn't to glorify England. You have to understand the message Joe Strummer et al were trying to get across. Strummer is a Legend.

such a great tune--lov that clash

I love the clash so much, The best band of all time,

To those who say this song isn't meant to be patriotic, a song can mean whatever you want it to mean, that's what's great about art, to me it assumes a different meaning in the context of what the UK has become in recent years

Sentiments expressed by a lot of their generation, but in a much more articulate and lyrical way than by, for example, snarlin' Johnny and the Pistols.

lesson t all new bands listen n learn clash true music frm start t finish god bless u joe

Huge track! Classic, The Clash!

Strummer sang every word like it was his last .. probably the last of the great englishmen

great song makes me proud to be English my country England❤

I love the way strummer says I've got a motorcycle jacket and I'm walking all the time.

Joe !!my all times favorite artist ..THIS IS PUNK ROCK

A sensational song.

Just another large piece of my youth where I had no idea.

Best song out wish the clash never died :(

Thanks for the lyrics. There is a good message here for those who like history as England and the UK were going through some very tough economic times during the Thatcher years. And, of course, it was the average Joe or Joanne who paid the biggest price.

I love this song and this album.

This song is the UK's 'Born in the U.S.A.'

Haunting and beautiful.

Underrated Clash song from 85. :)

Being English and having great taste in music bought me here !!

Boom! 1million views and it deserves it! The only band that matters.

You keep em ideas how you want. Glad I raised a smile :)

I left England 22 years ago having worked iN OZ 6 years,Singapore for 10 years,now I work in Thailand for past 6 years..Am just back from my annual trip and yes WE ARE THE BEST COUNRY IN THE WORLD

Today it makes so much more sense...Only different government!!! ❤😢

we need a "this is England" for 2015

Love this song , always have always will 😺 memories are very deep with tnis song and always will be

I love This song, my dad often play it for me and that is Why I listen on This band :)

Brutally honest lyrics. Could apply to almost any manipulated "democracy" these days.

Joe Strummer a middle class privately educated born in Turkey son of a foreign diplomat....the contradiction is brilliant...RIP Joe....

Over the top, beautiful.

I remember John Peel playing this when it came out.

An Irish perspective here. (Catholic) The English imo are the greatest race of folk ever to exist. Their language, their culture, their engineering feats, medical advancements, sports, common law legal system. The world owes so much to them, not even getting to WW2 etc and the repulsion of Facism. Imagine a world today without all their innovations and inventions

a very different place to when this song was made

Why does this fit America today... I love the clash they always had such a deep message.

Loved it when I first heard it a few decades ago and it is one of my all time favorite songs!

I’m a motorbiker. One of my favourite brands ever was Norton. I always dreamed of a Commando. How sad how it all turned.

Interesting... been listening to this off a greatest hits record and just realized a verse has been removed from the version I have...

Wrong lyrics here are the correct lyrics: (Market trader) “Four for a pound your face flannels, three for a pound your tea towels! Four for a pound your face flannels, three for a pound your tea towels!” I hear a gang fight on a human factory farm Are they howling out, or doing somebody harm? On a catwalk jungle, somebody grabbed my arm A voice spoke so cold it matched the weapon in her palm This is England This knife of Sheffield steel This is England This is how we feel Time on his hands the freezing Mohawk strolls He won't go for the carrots Been beaten by the pole Some sunny day confronted by his soul His eye will see, how fast you can grow old This is England Who I'm supposed to die for This is England Never gonna cry no more Black Shadow of the Vincent falls on a Triumph line I got my motorcycle jacket but I'm walking all the time South Atlantic wind blows ice from a dying creed. I see no glory, When will we be free? This is England We can chain you to the rail This is England We can kill you in a jail Hey, British boots go kick Bengali in the head Police sit watching, The newspapers being read All deaf to protests and after the attacker fled Out came the batons and the biggest one then said This is England The land of illegal dances This is England Land of one thousand stances This is England This knife of Sheffield steel This is England This is how we feel This is England This is England

It can be argued that it is a patriotic song, as the most patriotic thing a man can do in his country is speak out about injustice that he sees.

Black Shadow of a Vincent, falls on a Triumph line…brilliant.

Soz, these appeared to be the most frequent I could find. Some lyric web pages just blanked out some verses. So I thought I'd go with the most common transcripts.

the #irony is almost crushing when I listen to this now

When you actually listen to the song, its so much better. Not just music, but something surreal.

This is England, this is England and _this_ is England!

This is England !!!

And We will die for Our England!

I miss him. Saw them play this live in San Francisco.

I'm Scottish but when I first heard this from the Cut the Crap album it raised the hairs on my neck,,You swine Strummer,god bless

March 29 2019 this should have been out day

I wonder why this band doesn't have bad songs.

killed the replay button

best lyrics of all time (I'm wearing my motorcycle jacket , but I'm walking all the time). Kids of Acton 1977.
