Lyrics
[verse]
The river's rising up along the old stone wall
Sirens singing out an unfamiliar call
Static on the radio, no answer coming through
This is the city calling out to you
[verse]
Concrete towers standing quiet in the haze
Nobody's counting down the dying days
Turn the dial louder, drown the sound of fear
The broadcast's breaking up but we can still hear
[chorus]
London calling, to the faraway towns
London calling, when the sky comes down
London calling, to the ends of the earth
Come and find out what your silence is worth
[verse]
Engines stall out underneath the bridge
Nobody knows what's waiting on the ridge
Grab your coat, there's static in the air
Something's coming and we better prepare
[chorus]
London calling, to the faraway towns
London calling, when the sky comes down
London calling, to the ends of the earth
Come and find out what your silence is worth
[bridge]
London calling, watch the water climb
London calling, we are running out of time
London calling, to the ones who hide
Step out of the shadows, stand up side by side
[chorus]
London calling, to the faraway towns
London calling, when the sky comes down
London calling, to the ends of the earth
Come and find out what your silence is worth
