The Clash - London’s Burning (Beaconsfield Film School session) lyrics
[The Clash - London’s Burning Beaconsfield Film School session lyrics]
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
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning, dial 99999
I'm up and down the Westway
In and 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
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
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning, dial 99999
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 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
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning, dial 99999
I'm up and down the Westway
In and 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
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
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning, dial 99999
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 burning!
