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 it's 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
