Two-thousand-eighteen Shades Of Bromford - Part 139


Today is Sunday, the 17th of January 2021.

Let me take you by the hand and lead you to the towers of Bromford.
Bromford Bridge is down.
Giving to much away?
Seagulls are the rats of the coastal areas.
Think about it.

"Towers Of Bromford"

Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Pavements of gold leading to the underground
Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around
Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound
Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven

Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high
Merchants from Stepney walking 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

Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

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

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

Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Did you watch over the men who fell
Towers of Bromford
When they had built you
Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell

Towers of Bromford, Towers of Bromford
Towers of Bromford, Towers of Bromford

La La Bromford, La La Bromford
La La Bromford, La La Bromford
La La Bromford...
