[Joe Strummer]
"Welcome to the Casbah Club..."

[Verse 1]
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come outta' the cupboard, ya' boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

[Chorus]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Meltdown expected, wheat is growin' thin
Nuclear error, I have no fear
London is drowning and I, live by the river

[Verse 2]
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, walk it alone!
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holdin' out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't want to shout
But while we were talking I saw you noddin' out
London calling, we ain't got no high
'Cept for that one, yellowy eyes
[Chorus]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Meltdown expected, wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error, I have no fear
London is drowning and I, live by the river

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
The ice age is coming, the sun's zoomin' in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear error, I have no fear
Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

[Bridge]
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah
Now get this

[Verse 3]
London calling, yes, I was there, too
And ya' 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?
London calling
[Outro]
Never felt so much alike alike alike
