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 look to us / Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust / London calling, see we ain't got no swing / 'Cept for the reign 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
Cause London is burning and I live by the river
