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
Pavements of gold
leading to
the underground
Grenadier Guardsmen
walking pretty
ladies around
Fog is the sweat
of the never never
navvies who pound
pound pound
pound pound
Spikes in the rails
to their very
own heaven
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
Bridges of muscles
spanning so
long and high
Merchants from
Stepney walking
pretty ladies by...
Rain is the tears
of the never never
navvies who cry
for the bridge
that doesn't go
In the direction
of Dublin...
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
And I've seen it
in a painting
And I've seen it
in engraving
And I've seen it
in their faces clear
as children's chalk
lines on the paving
And I've seen it
in a painting
And I've seen it
in engraving
And I've seen it
in their faces clear
as children's chalk
lines on the paving
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
Towers of London
Towers of London
Towers of London
Towers of London...
