London's Burning lyrics

London's burning!

London's burning!

All across the town, all across the night

Everybody's drivin' with full headlight

Black or white you turn it on, or face the new religion

Everybody's sittin' 'round watchin' television

London's burnin'

(With boredom now)

London's burnin'

(Dial nine nine nine nine nine)

London's burnin'

(With boredom now)

London's burnin'

(Dial nine nine nine nine nine)

I'm up and down the West way, in an' out the light

What a great traffic system it's so bright

I can't think of a better way to spend the night

Then speedin' around underneath the yellow lights

London's burnin'

(With boredom now)

London's burnin'

(Dial nine nine nine nine nine)

London's burnin'

(With boredom now)

London's burnin'

(Dial nine nine nine nine nine)

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 block lookin' for a home

I run through the empty stone 'cause I'm all alone

London's burnin'

(With boredom now)

London's burnin'

(Dial nine nine nine nine nine)

London's burnin'

(With boredom now)

London's burnin'

(Dial nine nine nine nine nine)

Here we go, here we go

Here we go rocking down the West London motorway

And on your left you'll see the tower blocks

Built in 1963

With hard cash payments from the GLC

And over there you'll see Westbourne Park

You don't wanna go there

When it gets dark

London's burnin'
