Verse 1
|
London calling to the faraway towns
|
Now war is declared and battle come down
|
London calling to the underworld
|
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
|
London calling, now don't look to us
|
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
|
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
|
Except for the ring of the truncheon thing
|
|
Chorus
|
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
|
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
|
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
|
'Cause London is drowning, I live by the river
|
|
Verse 2
|
London calling to the imitation zone
|
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
|
London calling to the zombies of death
|
Quit holding out and draw another breath
|
London calling and I don't want to shout
|
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
|
London calling, see we ain't got no Hyde
|
Except for that one with the yellowy eye
|
|
Chorus
|
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
|
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
|
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
|
'Cause London is drowning, I live by the river
|
|
Chorus
|
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
|
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
|
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
|
'Cause London is drowning, I live by the river
|
Now get this
|
|
Verse 3
|
London calling, yes, I was there too
|
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true
|
London calling at the top of the dial
|
And after all this, won't you give me a smile
|
London calling
|
I never felt so much alike alike alike...
