[Verse]
London calling to the faraway towns
Now that war s declared and battle coming down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard all you boys and girls
London calling, now don t look at us
The 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
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
The engines stopped running, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I live by the river
[Verse]
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]
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
The engines stopped running, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I live by the river
Oh I, I live by the river yeah
