Lyrics - Towers Of London by Xtc

Towers of
Londonwhen they had built youdid you watch over the men who fell
Towers of
Londonwhen they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier
Guardsmen walking pretty ladies aroundfog is the sweat of the never never navvies who poundspikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and highmerchants from
Stepney walking pretty ladies byrain is the tears of the never never navvies who cryfor the bridge that doesn't goin the direction of
Dublin
And
I've seen it in a paintingand
I've seen it in engravingand
I've seen it in their facesclear as children's chalk lines on the paving
Towers of
Londonla la
Londinium.
