London Calling

Once upon a time A wave of music swept over Taking on the world And spreading the word Yeah, the metal institution Made all the speakers blow A wall of sound down from the Marquee to Soho It made a cradle rock Way back in the 80's Under the flag of Union Jacks Maiden and Priests on their shirts Well, the upper class was screaming As we fought with victory Brought the metal to the airwaves We wrote some history London calling Into the ears of a young generation As boys falling To the sound of this city noise, oh! From the underground Out of the cellars from nowhere Into the local bars Then making their way to the top Still alive since 42 years And I'm sure we're gonna rock 'Cause the metal train is rolling From King's Cross non-stop London Calling Into the ears of a young generation As boys falling To the sound of this city noise, oh-ho Yeah, the metal institution Made all the speakers blow A wall of sound down from the Marquee to Soho London calling Into the ears of a young generation As boys falling To the sound of this big city noise London calling And then they exploded, such a powerful sensation As boys falling To the sound of this big city noise
