London Calling Songtext
von The Pogues

London′s calling the faraway towns
Now war is declared, the 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
Except 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, walk 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, 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 error, but I have no fear
′Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

London calling, yes, I was there too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?

London′s calling, London's calling
London's calling, London′s calling
I never felt so much alike
