XTC - Towers Of London

Towers Of London
XTC

Towers of London
when they had built you
did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of London
when they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
spikes in the rails to their very own heaven

merchants from Stepney walking pretty ladies by
for the bridge that doesn't go
rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry

in the direction of Dublin
And I've seen it in a painting
and I've seen it in engraving
clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
and I've seen it in their faces
Towers of London

la la Londinium
