Billy Elliot movie - London Calling lyrics

rate me

Song by The Clash<br /><br>

London calling to the faraway towns<br>

Now that war is declared-and battle come down<br>

London calling to the underworld<br>

Come out of the cupboard, all you boys and girls<br>

London calling, now don't look at us<br>

All that phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust<br>

London calling, see we ain't got no swing<br>

'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in<br>

Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin<br>

A nuclear error, but I have no fear<br>

London is drowning-and I live by the river<br>

<br>

London calling to the imitation zone<br>

Forget it, brother, an' go it alone<br>

London calling upon the zombies of death<br>

Quit holding out-and draw another breath<br>

London calling-and I don't wanna shout<br>

But when we were talking-I saw you nodding out<br>

London calling, see we ain't got no highs<br>

Except for that one with the yellowy eyes<br>

<br>

[CHORUS]<br>

<br>

Now get this<br>

London calling, yeah, I was there, too<br>

An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!<br>

London calling at the top of the dial<br>

After all this, won't you give me a smile?<br>

<br>

I never felt so much a' like<br>

<br>
