BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - London Calling lyrics

rate me

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

All that 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 and the wheat is growing thin

(Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin)

Engines stop running but I have no fear

(A nuclear error but I have no fear)

London is drowning-and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone

Forget it brother an' go it alone

London calling upon 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

[Chorus]

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
