G Here a tower shinning bright C
D Once stood gleaming in the night C G Where now there's just the
rubble D In the hole C G Here
the paddies and the frogs C
D Came to gamble on the dogs G
C D 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
G Here a tower shining bright
C D Once stood gleaming in the night C G D Where
now there's just the rubble in the hole C G Here the paddies and the frogs C
D Came to gamble on the dogs G
C D 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
