lyrics

London Falling

She could endure the Blitz
But not a pissing contest between two narcissists?
An albino donkey from The Telegraph
And a PR dweeb tore everything in half

And in her darkest hour she looked to you on Fleet Street
To speak some truth to power
But the street's been vacant for quite a while
The proprietors are all non-domicile

No-one really thought the thing would pass
No-one really thought at all
Staring at the telly with an empty glass
It's just appalling
Watching London Falling

The dog that didn't bark is drunk and on a deadline
And weeping in the dark
As he waves the flag
And tells tall tales
Of straight bananas
And borders failed
And declines to follow the data trail
To the pricks who put his city up for sale

No-one really thought the thing would pass
No-one really thought at all
Staring at the telly with an empty glass
It's just appalling
Watching London Falling

No-one really thought the thing would stand
No-one really thought at all
Staring at the telly sitting on your hands
Is this your calling
To watch London Falling?
