london calling

Singer: calling, the

london calling to the faraway towns

now that war is declared - and battle come down

london calling to the underworld

come out of the cupboard

all you boys and girls

london calling

now don't look at us

all that phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust

london calling

see we ain't got no swing

'cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

the ice age is coming

the sun is zooming in

meltdown expected and the wheat is growing thin

the engines stopped running

but i have no fear

london is drowning - and i live by the river

london calling to the imitation zone

forget it

brother

an' go it alone

london calling upon the zombies of death

quit holding out - and draw another breath

london calling - and i don't wanna shout

but when 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

i live by the river
