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

An' you know w

              
hat they said?

       
 Well, some of

 it was true!
            
London calling

       
 at the top of

 the dial
            
After all this

            
, won't you gi


ve me a smile?
            
London calling

         

            

  

I never felt s

o much alike [
