The Pogues - White City (Live At Brixton Academy 21st or 22nd December 2001) Lyrics

Lyrics White City (Live At Brixton Academy 21st or 22nd December 2001) - The Pogues



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
