London's Burning

London's burning London's burning All across the town, all across the night Everybody's driving with full headlights Black or white turn it on, face the new religion Everybody's sitting 'round watching television London's burning with boredom now London's burning, dial 99999 London's burning with boredom now London's burning, dial 99999 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 Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights London's burning with boredom now London's burning, dial 99999 London's burning with boredom now London's burning, dial 99999 Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking 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 London's burning with boredom now London's burning, dial 99999 London's burning with boredom now London's burning, dial 99999 Here we go rocking down the West London motorway And on your left you'll see the tower blocks Built in 1963 With hard cash payments from the GLC And over there you'll see Westbourne Park You don't wanna go there When it gets dark London's burning!
