Lyrics Dead London (Mr Joyboy remix) - Jeff Wayne
[Journalist:]
There
were
a
dozen
dead
bodies
in
the
Euston
road,
their
bodies
softened
by
the
black
dust.
All
was
still,
houses
locked
and
empty,
shops
closed
but
looters
had
helped
themselves
to
wine
and
food,
and
outside
a
jewellers
some
gold
chains
and
a
watch
were
scattered
on
the
pavement.
[Martians:]
Ulla!
[Journalist:]
I
stopped,
staring
toward
to
sound.
It
seemed
as
if
that
mighty
desert
of
house
had
found
a
voice
for
its
fear
and
solitude.
[Martians:]
Ulla!
[Journalist:]
The
desolating
cry
worked
upon
my
mind.
The
wailing
took
possession
of
me.
I
was
intensely
weary,
footsore,
hungry
and
thirsty.
Why
was
I
wandering
alone
in
this
city
of
the
dead?
Why
was
I
alive,
when
London
in
state
in
its
black
shroud?
I
felt
intolerably
lonely,
drifting
from
street
to
empty
street,
drawn
inexorably
towards
that
cry.
[Martians:]
Ulla!
[Journalist:]
I
saw,
over
the
trees
on
Primrose
hill,
the
fighting
machine
from
which
the
howling
came.
I
crossed
Regents
Canal.
There
stood
a
second
machine,
upright,
but
as
still
as
the
first.
[Martians:]
Ulla!
Ul-!
[Journalist:]
Abruptly,
the
sound
ceased.
Suddenly,
the
desolation,
the
solitude,
became
unendurable.
While
that
voice
sounded,
London
had
still
seemed
alive.
Now,
suddenly,
there
was
a
change,
the
passing
of
something
and
all
that
remained
was
this
gaunt
quite.
I
looked
up
and
saw
a
third
machine.
It
was
erect
and
motionless,
like
the
others.
An
inane
resolve
possessed
me.
I
would
give
my
life
to
the
Martians,
here
and
now.
I
marched
recklessly
towards
the
titan
and
saw
a
multitude
of
black
birds
was
circling
and
clustering
about
the
hood.
I
began
running
along
the
road,
I
felt
no
fear,
only
a
wild
trembling
exultation,
as
I
ran
up
the
hill
towards
the
motionless
monster.
Out
of
the
hood
hung
red
shreds,
at
which
the
hungry
birds
now
pecked
and
tore.
I
scrambled
up
to
the
crest
of
Primrose
Hill,
and
the
Martians
camp
was
below
me.
A
mighty
space
it
was,
and
scattered
about
it,
in
their
overturned
machines,
were
the
Martians
- [dead]...
slain,
after
all
man′s
devices
had
failed,
by
the
humblest
things
upon
the
Earth,
Bacteria.
Minute,
invisible
bacteria!
Directly
the
invaders
arrived
and
drank
and
fed,
our
microscopic
allies
attacked
them.
From
that
moment
they
were
doomed!
