White City lyrics

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 they're pulling down the pubs
And it's 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

Here a tower shinning bright
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubble in the hole
