London calling to the faraway towns

London calling to the underworld

Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls

London calling, see we ain't got no swing
G
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in

Engines stop running, but I have no fear

London calling to the imitation zone
G
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
Em F
London calling to the zombies of death
G
Quit holding out, and draw another breath

But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
Em F
London calling, see we ain't got no high
G
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
Chorus 2:
Em G
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in

Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin

After all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much alike [fading] alike alike alike

(1)
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
(2)
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
(3)
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?
