1
The sirens' risin'
2
There's a distant blues dance on a crowded street
3
The temperature's a-risin'
4
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
5
Those burnin' streets, come on
6
The century that's hardly on its feet
7
And the late news breaks early
8
Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?
9
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
10
London is burnin' don't tell the Queen
11
Somebody tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green
12
Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat
13
Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
14
Those burnin' streets, come on
15
And you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled
16
And the late news breaks early
17
So how should life be lived around the world?
18
(If London is burnin')
19
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
20
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
21
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
22
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
23
(Soon you're gonna be run down)
24
(Soon you're gonna be run down)
25
Those burnin' streets, come on!
26
Does the universal cop have a beat?
27
And the late news breaks early
28
Did you ever buy that bar on Lucky Street?
29
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
30
Ready to face that dawn with no pity, come on!
31
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
32
Yeah, ah-come on (London is burnin')
33
Too many guns in this damn town
34
At the supermarket, you gotta duck down
35
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
36
(London is burnin')
37
There's too many guns in this damn town
38
(London is burnin')
39
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
40
(London is burnin')
41
Too many guns in this damn town
42
(London is burnin')
43
Baby flak jackets on the merry-go-round
44
(London is burnin')
