Reptile refers to Clapton's uncle, and to Clapton as well. Clapton was born in the village Ripley. In interview Calpton said ‘In Ripley, where I come from, the word ‘Reptile’ is a term of endearment. It’s a form of acknowledgement. It’s what your good mates call one another. ‘He’s a reptile’ – meaning ‘He’s one of the lads.’
