Lyrics

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 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
 Towers of London, Towers of London
 Towers of London, Towers of London
 La La Londinium, La La Londinium
 La La Londinium, La La Londinium
 La La Londinium...
