Lyrics Towers of London (Rejected Single Recording) - XTC
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
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
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
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
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
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

When

Did

When
