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
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
