London's Burning Lyrics

Artist: The Clash (Buy The Clash CDs)
Album: Clash

(Strummer/Jones)

London's burning! London's burning!

All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion
Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights
What a great traffic system - it's so bright
I can't think of a better way to spend the night
Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone

London's burning with boredom now...
London's burning dial 99999

this song was one of the 1st songs i heard from the clash in 79. i still have the import on vinyl. hearing this band for the first time, what a profound experience!!! the clash, among others, helped redefine music for me and others in 70s and 80s. R.I.P joe strummer.

The Clash First Album is the best, and the Clash will always be the best Punk Band.

Today, 03-26-2011, people are rioting in the streets of London over labor cuts. Joe Strummer would be proud. Joe would be right along with them, kicking ass and taking names.
