Blackfriars Bridge

歌詞

I went out one morning in the Spring To Blackfriars Bridge to watch the tide come in The tide came in and covered up the ruins and the mud Beneath the sun it flowed like a vein of blood To the North there lies the Temple and the Tower The Treasuries and sanctuaries of power I looked along the river to the shores of Silvertown Putting up castles, what are they tearing down? Down to the river, up to the sea People in the city are making history Changing history... One view shows a white Cathedral dome Galleries and Mansions made of stone One view shows a ghetto rise beyond the sewerage One of these views they call our heritage Down to the river, up to the sea People in the city are making history Changing history... Once from Wapping docks the pirates came Plundered ships at anchor for the gain They hung them in the morning from the Northern riverside Washed away their memory with the tide Down to the river, up ro the sea People in the city are making history Changing history... Down to the river, up ro the sea People in the city are making history Changing history, changing history...
