London is burning

Don’t tell the Queen

Somebody’s charged the speed garage

And then burned down Bethnal Green

Piccadilly’s Churming like a Reggae Beat

Soon you’re gonna be running down

Those burning streets come on

A century that’s hardly on it’s feet

The Late News breaks early

Does tae a Sunrise from the West or from the East?

London is burning

It takes every day to be surving in the city

There’s sirens rising from the east

There’s a distance blues dancing on a crowded street

The temperature are rising

Can you feel the heat?

Soon you’re gonna be running down

Those burning streets come on

Were waiting for your flag to be unfurled

The Late News breaks early

How should life be lived around the world

London is burning

It takes everyday to survinvin’in the city

Ready to face

A dawn with no pity

Come on

YE-AH

Come on

London is burnin’

London is burnin’

Can I get a witness?

Were there’s smoke there’s heat

There’s a love triangle on a two-way street

London is burning and underneath your feet

Soon you’re gonna be runnin’down those burning streets

Come on

Does the universal clock

Have a beat?

And The Late News breaks early

Did you have buy that bar on Luck street

London is burning

It takes everyday to survinvin’in the city

Ready to face

A dawn with no pity

Come on

YE-AH

Come on

London is burning

London is burning

Too many guns in this damn town

At the supermarket, you gotta duck down

Baby flake gackeps the merry go round

London is burning

Too many guns in this damn town

Baby flake jackets on the merry go round

London is burning

Too many guns in this damn town

London is burning

Too many guns in this damn town

Baby flake jackets on the merry go round

London is burning
