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 lecture us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the reign of the truncheon thing

The ice age is comin', the sun zoomin' in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin
Engines stop runnin', but I have no fear
'Cause London is drownin' an' I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holdin' out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you runnin' out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is comin', the sun zoomin' in
Engines stop runnin', the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
'Cause London is drownin' an' I, I live by the river

The ice age is comin', the sun zoomin' in
Engines stop runnin', the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
'Cause London is drownin' an' I, 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
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling
I never felt so much alive
