von The Clash

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"London Calling" ist ein Lied der britischen Punkrock-Band The Clash. Es wurde in einer Zeit geschrieben, in der es viel...

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

The ice age is coming,
The sun is zooming
Meltdown expected, and the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
London is drowning-and I
Live by the river

London calling
To the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, an' go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out-and take 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

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river

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?
