|
Here a tower shinning bright |
|
Once stood gleaming in the night |
|
Where now there's just the rubble |
|
In the hole here the paddies and the frogs |
|
Came to gamble on the dogs |
|
Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago |
|
Oh the torn up ticket stubs |
|
From a hundred thousand mugs |
|
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain |
|
And the car-parks going up |
|
And they're pulling down the pubs |
|
And its just another bloody rainy day |
|
Oh sweet city of my dreams |
|
Of speed and skill and schemes |
|
Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view |
|
And the hare upon the wire |
|
Has been burnt upon your pyre |
|
Like the black dog that once raced |
|
Out from trap two |
