Towers Of London Lyrics
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
spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
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
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
la la Londinium
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
fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
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
and I've seen it in engraving
and I've seen it in their faces
clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
la la Londinium

Excellent song...wonderfully English. These guys made some of most British sounding Brit pop ever. Check out the awesome guitar solo.

"i'd seen it in paintings, i'd seen it engravings"..reminds me of walking through greenwich village (E)

That was about as funny and pointful as filming my limp-dick swaying in the wind...
...no wait...that is actually pretty funny...
this song stole lyrics from vanilla ice!
Vanilla's: Whipping MCs like a pound of bacon. Go crazy when I hear a cymbal. High-hat or a souped-up tempo.
towers of london: go crazy when I hear a cymbal And a hi hat with a souped up tempo
yet they still r cooler!
