Lyrics
London Calling
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 Marquis
To Soho
It made the cradle rock
Way back in the eighties
Under the flag of Union Jacks
Maiden and Priest on their shirts
While 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
Us boys fallen
To the sound of this city noise, oh!
From the underground
Out of the cellars from nowhere
Into the local pubs
Then making their way to the top
Still alive since forty two years
And I'm sure we gonna rock
'Cause the metal train is rolling
From King's Cross nonstop
London calling
Into the ears of a young generation
Us boys fallen
To the sound of this city noise, oh!
Yeah, the metal institution
Made all the speakers blow
A wall of sound down from the Marquis
To Soho
London calling
Into the ears of a young generation
Us boys fallen
To the sound of this big city noise
London calling
And then they exploded, such a powerful sensation
Us boys fallen
To the sound of this big city noise
