The?Clash（碰撞）乐队是前朋克时期具有开创意义的乐队，也是这一时期在商业运作上最为成功的朋克乐队。最初是一支政治反叛乐队，然后逐渐吸收雷盖尔及流行摇滚的元素、MTV的运作。尽管后来他们逐渐偏离了朋克的路线，但他们的首张同名专辑已经成为了朋克摇滚的圣典，而1979年的专辑《London?Calling》更被众多的摇滚评论家推为有史以来最好的摇滚专辑之一。 1 This song is just about the way shit jobs were foisted on the young during the late 70s, the line about taking away prescription is the state of the NHS which was struggling (as it is now) with lack of funding, the line about conscription is about reintroduction of civil service and the line about letter bombs is when Mick worked for a Social Services office where his job was to open letters, due to a bomb scare, Mick hated this due to the awful treatment of the Irish and Blacks at the offices He wrote about the staff-these people here have no rockn roll in their lives 2 this song is about how society boxes us into chosing a mainstream job and how obviously some people just don’t fit into mainstream culture. lyrics: They offered me the office, offered me the shop They said I better take anything they got Do you wanna make tea at the BBC? Do you wanna be, do really wanna be a cop? Career opportunities are the ones that never knock Every job they offer you is to keep out the dock Career
