London’s Burning (Live)

[Intro]

London's burnin'! London's burnin'!

[Verse 1]

All across the town, all across the night

Everybody's drivin' with full headlights

Black or white ya' turn it on, ya' face the new religion

Everybody's sittin' 'round watching television!

[Chorus]

London's burnin' with boredom now

London's burning dial 99999

London's burnin' with boredom now

London's burnin' 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 burnin' with boredom now

London's burning dial 99999

London's burnin' with boredom now

London's burnin' 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 burnin' with boredom now

London's burning dial 99999

London's burnin' with boredom now

London's burnin' dial 99999

[Outro]

Here we go

Yah, 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 wanna traffic system to park the car

London's burnin'!
