The Clash - Up in Heaven (Not Only Here) lyrics

The towers of London, these crumbling blocks
Reality estates that the hero's got
And every hour's marked by the
Chime of a clock what you gonna do when
The darkness surrounds?
You can piss in the lifts
Which have broken down
You can watch from the debris
The last bedroom light
We're invisible here just past midnight

And the wives hate their husbands
The husbands don't care
Their children daub slogans to
Prove they lived there
A giant pipe organ up in the air
You can't live in a home which
Should not have been built
By the bourgeois clerks who bear no guilt
When the wind hit's this building
This building it tilts


One day it will surely fall to the ground
Fear is just another commodity here
They sell us peeping holes to
Peek when we hear
A bang on the door resoundingly clear
Who would really want to move in here?
The children play faraway
The corridors are bare
This room is a cage, it's like captivity
How can anyone exist in such misery?

It has been said not only here

"Allianza dollars are spent
To raise the towerin' buildings
For the weary bones of the workers
To go back in the morning"

It has been said not only here

"Allianza dollars are spent
To raise the towering buildings
For the weary bones of the workers
To be strong in the morning"

It has been said not only here
To raise the towering buildings

"Allianza dollars are spent
To raise the towering buildings
For the weary bones of the workers
To go back in the morning
To be strong in the morning"
