London's Burning

[Intro]

London's burning

London's burning

[Verse 1]

All across the town, all across the night

Everybody's drivin' with full headlights

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

Everybody's sittin' 'round watching television

[Chorus]

London's burning (With boredom now)

London's burning (Dial 99999)

London's burning (With boredom now)

London's burning (Dial 99999)

[Verse 2]

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

Than speedin' around underneath the yellow lights

[Chorus]

London's burning (With boredom now)

London's burning (Dial 99999)

London's burning (With boredom now)

London's burning (Dial 99999)

[Verse 3]

Now I'm in the subway and I'm lookin' 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

[Chorus]

London's burning (With boredom now)

London's burning (Dial 99999)

London's burning (With boredom now)

London's burning (Dial 99999)

[Outro]

Here we go

Yeah, here we are riding along the West London motorway

On your left we see the tower blocks built in 1963

With a massive repair bill for the GLC

And over there you see Westbourne Park

They don't want a traffic system to park the car

London's burning
