London Calling lyrics

London Calling (Strummer/Jones)



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



CHORUS

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

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



CHORUS



Now get this

London calling, yeah, 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
