POGUES - White City lyrics

Here a tower shinning bright<br>Once stood gleaming in the night<br>Where now there's just the rubble<br>In the hole here the paddies and the frogs<br>Came to gamble on the dogs<br>Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago<br><br>Oh the torn up ticket stubs<br>From a hundred thousand mugs<br>Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain<br>And the car-parks going up<br>And they're pulling down the pubs<br>And it's just another bloody rainy day<br><br>Oh sweet city of my dreams<br>Of speed and skill and schemes<br>Like atlantis you just disappeared from view<br>And the hare upon the wire<br>Has been burnt upon your pyre<br>Like the black dog that once raced<br>Out from trap two
