Evening

When the sun begins to sink

Behind the smoke

There's a burning red glow all around

Watching

As the colour starts to fade

And the darkness

Seems to rise out of the ground

Walls rise and fall

And now they're building tall

In the city

Brick England

They build them up

And then they knock 'em down

To put up another

Brick England

Evening

Creeps beyond the terrace walls

Up the church steeples

And the chimney-pots so high

Watching

The moon is lost behind black clouds

And the darkness

Seems to crawl up to the sky

Walls rise and fall

And now they're building tall

In the city

Brick England

They build them up

And then they knock 'em down

To put up another

Brick England

They build them up

And then they knock 'em down

To put up another

Brick England

Brick Lane

In the rain

Road closed

Diversion

A snake of tourists

Meandering

Under grey clouds

In Brick England
