The ice age is coming, the sun’s zooming in.
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin.
Engines stop running, but I have no fear.
‘Cause London is drowning, and I live by the River.

London Calling
The Clash (1979), London Calling

I can’t get a license
to drive my car
But I don’t really need it
if i’m a big star.
Never you mind
go on and have a good time.

O My Soul
Big Star (1974), Radio City

Take a little dope.
And walk out in the air.
The stars are all connected to the brain.
Find me a woman and lay down on the ground.
Her pleasure comes falling down like rain.
Get myself a car, I feel power as I fly.
Oh now I’m really in control.
It all looks fine to the naked eye.
But it don’t really happen that way at all.
Don’t happen that way at all.

Naked Eye
The Who (1974), Who’s Next (1995 reissue)

I need a fix ‘cause I’m going down.
Down to the bits that I left uptown.
I need a fix cause I’m going down.
Mother Superior jumped the gun.
Mother Superior jumped the gun.

Happiness is a warm gun.
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot.
Happiness is a warm gun, momma.
Bang Bang Shoot Shoot.

Happiness is a Warm Gun
The Beatles (1968), The White Album
