The siren¡¯s risin¡¯
|
There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street
|
The temperature¡¯s a-risin¡¯
|
Soon you¡¯re gonna be runnin' down
|
|
Those burnin¡¯ streets, come on
|
The century that¡¯s hardly on its feet
|
And the late news brakes early
|
Does the sun rise from the west of from the east?
|
An¡¯ if it takes everyday there¡¯ll be survivin¡¯ in the city
|
|
London is burnin¡¯ don¡¯t tell the queen
|
Somebody tried to garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green
|
Piccadilly's churning, like a reggae beat
|
Soon you¡¯re gonna be run down
|
|
Those burnin¡¯ streets, come on
|
And you¡¯re waitin¡¯ for your flag to be unfold
|
And the late news breaks early
|
So how should life be lived around the world
|
(If London is burnin¡¯)
|
|
An¡¯ if it takes everyday there¡¯ll be survivin¡¯ in the city
|
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
|
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin¡¯)
|
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin¡¯)
|
|
(Soon you¡¯re gonna be run down)
|
(Soon you¡¯re gonna be run down)
|
Those burnin¡¯ streets, come on!
|
Does the universal cop have a beat?
|
And the late news breaks early
|
Did you ever buy that bar on lucky street?
|
|
An¡¯ if it takes everyday there¡¯ll be survivin¡¯ in the city
|
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
|
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin¡¯)
|
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin¡¯)
|
|
Too many guns in this damn town
|
The supermarket, you gotta duck down
|
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
|
(London is burnin¡¯)
|
There¡¯s too many guns in this damn town
|
(London is burnin¡¯)
|
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
|
(London is burnin¡¯)
|
Too many guns in this damn town
|
(London is burnin¡¯)
|
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
|
(London is burnin¡¯)
