An irresistable dance-inducer. Love Pete Shelley's voice on this.
Starts with a 15-second drum solo by the great John Maher, who was only 17 (!) when they recorded it. Then the fuzztone guitar kicks in. O jangliness! O joy!

You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
He's double dealin' with your best friend
That's when the teardrops start, fella
Pick up the phone
I'm here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We'll have ourselves a ball

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

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
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growin' thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling and I don't want to shout
But when we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eye
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' thin
A nuclear era, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growin' 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
And 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 alike alike alike
Would love to see a mash up of Mick Harris (Lull, Scorn ...) with Bryn Jones, aka Muslimgauze
When it comes to "Music", everyone has their own interpretations/feelings to a particularly type of genre. Personally, I was easily creeped out by this track when I first heard it (there's just something about his entire ambient project that gets under your skin), and it certainly didn't help matters to hear bits and pieces of it playing in the background of a disturbing and continuous nightmare that I can recall having years ago. However, I now have very mixed feelings towards this work of art, and I think it's safe to say that the words "scary" & "creepy" in the video title are now just for tagging purposes. P.S. There have been some complaints about the audio not being loud enough. I am terribly sorry for this, even though it isn't really my fault. This was the only rip I could find, and may I suggest that if you are not able to hear this very well, then try turning up the volume of your speakers, or opening volume mixer and increasing the volume of whatever internet browser you are using. I honestly can hear the music perfectly, so I hope that you can do the same. Not trying to be rude, but Please stop fucking asking me if you can use this song for your videos, sideprojects, or indie horror movies your working on or whatever else. Why? Because I am not the artist as I've clearly previously mentioned. you'll have to credit Mick Harris under his Dark ambient side project, "Lull". What the hell, I honestly don't fucking care anyway. Go for it but I'd also try shooting the original creator a message first, but you'll have to look for his email first. I don't condone that in any regard though unless you're sampling or you credit the original musician regardless.
