EmLondon calling to the fC7araway towns,

Now that war is declared and Gbattle come down.

EmLondon calling to the C7underworld,

Come out of the cupboard, all you Gboys and girls.

EmLondon calling, now C7don't look at us,

All that phoney Beatlemania has Gbitten the dust.

EmLondon calling, see we C7ain't got no swing,

'Cept for the ring of that Gtruncheon thing.

CA nuclear error, but GI have no fear,

EmLondon is drowning-and DI live by the river.

Verse 2

EmLondon calling to the iC7mitation zone,

Forget it, brother, an' Ggo it alone.

EmLondon calling upon the C7zombies of death,

Quit holding out and Gdraw another breath.

EmLondon calling and I C7don't wanna shout,

But when we were talking I saw Gyou nodding out,

EmLondon calling, see we aC7in't got no highs,

Except for that one with Gthe yellowy eyes.

Chorus 2

EmThe ice age is coming, Gthe sun is zooming in,

EmLondon is drowning-and DI live by the river.
