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 when 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 era, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era, 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....
