London Calling

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 
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's 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 high 
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes 


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, 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? 
London calling 

I never felt so much alike alike alike alike
