The sirens' ris[F]in'
There's a distant blue[A#]s dance on a crowded street
The temperature's a-risi[F]n'
[A#]Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
Those burnin' stree[F]ts, come on
The century that's hardly on its feet[A#]
And the late news breaks early[F]
Does the sun rise from the west or from the east?[A#]
[F]An' it takes every day to be survivin' in[D#] the city[A#][F]
[F]London is burnin'; don't tell the Queen
Some[A#]body tried to speak garage and they burnt down Bethnal Green
[F]Piccadilly's yearning, like a reggae beat
[A#]Soon you're gonna be runnin' down
Those burnin' stre[F]ets, come on
And you're waitin' for your flag to be unfurled[A#]
And the late news breaks early[F]
So how should life be lived around the world? (I[A#]f London is bu[G#]rnin')
An' it takes every day to be survivin' in the city
