Alternate LYRICS from The Clash’s “Vanilla Tapes” Demo:

London Calling to the fools in the crowd
I would call it dangerous to gee your weight around
London Calling - we're the kings of the South
Hated all over, kings of the mouth
London calling, and we ain't got no swing
'Cept for the ring of that truncheon thing
London Calling at the news o'clock nine
Evacuate the city appearing kind
The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
The paper is dry, the wheat is getting thin
Meltdown expected reactor turning
London is drowning and I live by the river
London Calling to mods on the run
Stomp out forecast seaside fun
London Calling, the past is a cult
The wrong kind of jacket proof of that (?)
London C-c-c-call...
Ahh-ah-ah-ahhhh!
Never felt so much like..
London Calling
