(Shane MacGowan)
|
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
|
