London Can Take It Lyrics by Public Service Broadcasting

The War Room

2012

[Intro]
Now, it's eight o'clock
Jerry is a little bit late tonight
The dusk is deepening
Soon the nightly battle of London will be on
This has been a quiet day for us, but it won't be a quiet night
[Verse 1]
The searchlights are in position
The guns are ready
The people's army of volunteers is ready
They are the ones who are really fighting this war
Brokers, Clerks, Peddlers, Merchants by day
They are heroes by night
[Refrain]
These are not Hollywood sound effects
This is the music they play every night in London
The symphony of war
[Chorus]
London can take it
London can take it
[Verse 2]
London raises her head
Shakes the debris of a night from her hair
And takes stock of the damage done
The sign of a great fighter in the ring is
Can he get up from the floor after being knocked down?
London does this every morning
There is no panic, no fear, no despair, in London Town
[Chorus]
London can take it
London can take it
[Outro]
The night is long, but sooner or later the dawn will come
