Up In Heaven Lyrics - Sandinista - The Clash

The towers of London, these crumbling rocks 

Reality estates that the hero's got 

And every hour's marked by the chime of a clock 

And whatcha gonna do when the darkness surrounds? 

You can piss in the lifts which have broken down 

You can watch from the debris the last bedroom light 

We're invisible here just past midnight 

And the wives hate their husbands and their husbands don't care 

Their children daub slogans to prove they lived there 

A giant pipe organ up in the air 

You can't live in a home which should not have been built 

By the bourgeoisie clerks who bear no guilt 

When the wind hits this building this building it tilts 

One day it will surely fall to the ground

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Fear is just another commodity here 

They sell us peeping holes to peek when we hear 

A bang on the door resoundingly clear 

Who would really want to move in here? 

The children play faraway, the corridors are bare 

This room is a cage it's like captivity 

How can anyone exist in such misery? 

It has been said not only here 

Allianza dollars are spent 

To raise the towering buildings 

For the weary bones of the workers 

To go back in the morning 

It has been said not only here 

Allianza dollars are spent 

To raise the towering buildings 

For the weary bones of the workers 

To be strong in the morning 

To go back in the disappearing 

It has been said till there is no buildings

Allianza dollars are spent 

To raise the towering buildings 

For the weary bones of the workers 

To be strong in the morning
