Píseň: London Calling

Interpret:
Clash, The
Album:
London calling
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 to us 
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust 
London calling, see we ain't got no swing 
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing 
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in 
Meltdown expected the wheat is growing thin 
Engines stop running but I have no fear 
Cuz London is drowning and I live by the river 
London calling to the imitation zone 
Forget it brother, you can got 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 noddin' out 
London calling, see we ain't got no highs 
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes 


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 
Cuz London is drowning and 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 
An' after all this, won't you give me a smile? 


I never felt so much a' like...
