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


[Chorus 1:]
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 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


[Chorus 2: x2]
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


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, alike alike alike
