London's Burning - Silverchair

Originally by The Clash.... This is a great Song and theres no vids on here of it so thats the ONLY reason I made a slide show vid of this song. For those who love the song like me and for those who have never heard it. Oh God how I love Silverchair doing Punk Songs and Punk covers and Im not into Punk Music at all... This is the only punk I like when Silverchair does it!!! I wish they would of made a full fun punk cd it would of been amazing.

London's burning!

All across the town, all across the night
Everybody's driving with full headlights
Black or white turn it on, face the new religion

Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights
What a great traffic system - it's so bright
I can't think of a better way to spend the night

Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone

London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999
London's burning with boredom now
London's burning dial 99999

London's burning!

Where did you get this song?? I want it! :)

[ministerofhate]

@lukinijuice I got it off an Australian Silverchair fansite like 6 years ago.

[Godbombertheband]

@lukinijuice It was a b-side to one of the Anna's Song cd's, the uk edition anyway.

[ministerofhate]

@Godbombertheband I got it from a clash tribute album with a bunch of bands doing The Clash covers

[kiltsonfire164]

@ministerofhate I got it from the Anthem for the Year 2000 single released back in 1999.

[ministerofhate]

@kiltsonfire164 Lucky you. The Anthem single here in Canada sucked it just had Anthem for the year 2000 normal version and acappela choir version & ana's song.

Im seriously contemplating deleting this video though cuz Im really fucking annoyed by the Silverchair Vs Nirvana & Daniel Johns Vs Kurt Cobain retarded internet fights. If you love Nirvana/Kurt more than awesome and if you like SC/Daniel more thats sweet too. Both are great 3 piece bands from different countries, ages, backgrounds etc. Stop comparing and bitching and just listen to the fucking music or fuck off plain and simple... I could always disable comments if you insist on bickering

[Silverchairbabe]

@roejogan8 So I love everything about Daniel, his songwriting skills, musical talent and looks. I'm entitled because I'm a fan. reasons. Your statements are lame and your the delusional psycho ranting about Kurt on Silverchair videos. You should FUCK OFF and let people like who they want for their own reasons.

Your really the stupidest person I've come across on Youtube, Congrats man!

[EllexStripe]

That awkward moment when you're listening to this during the london riots

[TomasMarsh]

@MCXpress that is the stupidest thing I have ever read. Thanks for the laugh

[TheWaterfall7]

Ahh what a cute boy Daniel was. He is the most handsome man in the world for me:)) I've heard this song long ago, when I started listening to them since Neon Ballroom. I love everything they do, no matter how they change they are unique. I was into hardcore and punk and I am glad they cover songs like this vigorous and powerful.

[MsEmotionSickness]

@sickenedemotion i completely agree. it's nice to see him smile lol

[sickenedemotion]

@1:35 i think it's the only picture ive seen daniel smile during neon ballroom. lol
