London Calling Lyrics

London Calling lyrics

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 at us
Phoney Beatlemania has
bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the
ring of that truncheon thing

[Chorus]
The ice age is coming, the sun
zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop
running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning-and I live by the
river 

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 wanna shout
But
while we were talking-I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got
no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

[Chorus x2]
The
ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat
is growing thin
A Nuclear Error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is
drowning-and I live by the river

Now get this
London calling, yes, I
was there, too
An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was
true!
London calling at the top of the dial
After all this, won't you
give me a smile?

I never felt so much a' like
