Mine goes 'out the window' especially when i'm drunk.
Sometimes its 'going in the bin'
I hate my alarm clock.

First of all it is not the clock that is going off, it is the alarm. The alarm is not coming on as the alarm has already been set but is just activating. To "Go Off" means to be discharged or activated; as in "the explosive devices went off", "the siren went off" or "the alarm went off". All in how you look at it. But a good question.

Coz it's "goin' off" like a great gig, except it usually means i gotta brag my butt outta bed which aint as good.
Actually the off bit is the alarm has been on coz it's counting down, and this is the signal that it needs to be turned off.

because it is the most annoying sound ever invented and when you are tucked up all snug and warm and you dont want to wake up then it makes you go OFF your head

Its like saying, you know when people "go off on one", (shouting), its sort of the same difference. But i do see your point.

It goes off means ---- it is starting to ring.
So it starts to ring is what we call going off or on

because as soon as it goes on, you tell yourself its going off which you do so you can go back to sleep.

I think we should come up with a new term and call it "Piss off"
