Description
I have a few days left to schedule in this week. Things need to change. So I started thinking. Fine Lawns are to be found everywhere. So I thought I'd go and find them. Which got me thinking about a song. London Calling by The Clash Here's the words. London calling to the faraway townsNow war is declared and battle come downLondon calling to the underworldCome out of the cupboard, you boys and girlsLondon calling, now don't look to usPhony Beatlemania has bitten the dustLondon calling, see we ain't got no swingExcept for the ring of the truncheon thing.The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming inMeltdown expected, the wheat is growing thinEngines stop running, but I have no fear'Cause London is drowningI live by the river.London calling to the imitation zoneForget it, brother, you can go it aloneLondon calling to the zombies of deathQuit holding out and draw another breathLondon calling and I don't want to shoutBut while we were talking, I saw you nodding outLondon calling, see we ain't got no highExcept for that one with the yellowy eye.The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming inEngines stop running, the wheat is growing thinA nuclear era, but I have no fear'Cause London is drowningI, I live by the river.The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming inEngines stop running, the wheat is growing thinA nuclear era, but I have no fear'Cause London is drowningI, I live by the river.Now get this.London calling, yes, I was there, tooAnd you know what they said? Well, some of it was trueLondon calling at the top of the dialAnd after all this, won't you give me a smile?I never felt so much alike, alike, alike, alike ------------------------------ The Growing All Gardening podcast with Phil Argent. Short personal stories, moments, ideas discussed. Just you and me.
