[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier Guardsmen walkin' pretty ladies around
Fog is the sweat of the never-never navvies who pound, pound, pound, pound, pound
Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Bridges of muscle spannin' so long and high
Merchants from Stepney walkin' 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
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
[Verse 9]
Towers of London
Towers of London
Towers of London
Towers of London
[Verse 10]
