London Calling Lyrics - Cake

London Calling (Strummer/Jones) 

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 

Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin 

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 

-This song is originally released by, The Clash from their best 2-record album 

London Calling.
