London Calling lyrics
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
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
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
‘Cos 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 highs
except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
‘Cos London is drowning and I live by the river (x2)
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
- London calling:
Το Λονδίνο καλεί The phrase “London Calling” is a reference to BBC reports that were broadcast during the darkest periods of World War II. “This is London Calling,” a voice would say, before delivering the news to people who worried about their very survival amid the most destructive war in human history
