The clash-Train in vain

The clash-Train in vain

The Clash, "London Calling"

The Clash, "London Calling"
The Clash

London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling now don't look to us
Phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling see we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected and the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear
London is drowning and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling upon the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't wanna shout
But when we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling see we ain't got no highs
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running and the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error but I have no fear
London is drowning and I, I live by the river

Now get this
London calling yes I was there too
An' you know what they said? Well some of it was true
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?

I never felt so much a'like, a'like, a'like

The Clash, "Train in Vain"

The Clash, "Train in Vain"
Say you stand by your man
Tell me something, I don't understand
You said you love me and that's a fact
And then you left me, said you felt trapped

Well some things, you can explain away
But my heartache's in me till this day

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

All the times when we were close
I'll remember these things the most
I see all my dreams come tumblin' down
I won't be happy without you around

So all alone I keep the wolves at bay
And there is only one thing that I can say

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

You must explain why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all

Now I got a job
But it don't pay
I need new clothes
I need somewhere to stay

But without all of these things I can do
But without your love, I won't make it through
But you don't understand my point of view
I suppose there's nothing I can do

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

You must explain, why this must be
Did you lie when you spoke to me?

Did you stand by me?
Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

Did you stand by me?
No, not at all
Did you stand by me?
No way

Ver la letra de London Calling

London calling to the faraway towns

Now war is declared - and battle come down

London calling to the underworld

Come out of the cupboard,you boys and girls

London calling, now don't look to us

Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust

London calling, see we ain't got no swing

'Cept for the reign of that truncheon thing


CHORUS

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in

Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin

Engines stop running, but I have no fear

Cause London is burning and I, I live by the river



London calling to the imitation zone

Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone

London calling to the zombies of death

Quit holding out - and draw another breath

London calling - and I don't wanna shout

But while we were talking I saw you nodding out

London calling, see we ain't got no high

Except for that one with the yellowy eyes



CHORUS x2

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in

Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin

A nuclear era, but I have no fear

Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river



Now get this

London calling, yes, I was there, too

An' you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!

London calling at the top of the dial

And after all this, won't you give me a smile?

London Calling



I never felt so much alike, like-a, like-a...
