Lyrics Brick England - Pet Shop Boys , Jean-Michel Jarre

Evening
When the sun begins to sink
Behind the smoke
There′s a burning red glow all around
Watching
As the colour starts to fade
And the darkness
Seems to rise out of the ground

Walls rise and fall
And now they're building tall
In the city
Brick England
They build them up
And then they knock ′em down
To put up another
Brick England

Evening
Creeps beyond the terrace walls
Up the church steeples
And the chimney-pots so high
Watching
The moon is lost behind black clouds
And the darkness
Seems to crawl up to the sky

Walls rise and fall
And now they're building tall
In the city
Brick England
They build them up
And then they knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England

They build them up
And then they knock ′em down
To put up another
Brick England

Brick Lane
In the rain
Road closed
Diversion
A snake of tourists
Meandering
Under grey clouds
In Brick England
