Brick England lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Refrain]
Brick England
They build them up, and then they knock ’em down
To put up another Brick England
[Outro]
Brick Lane in the rain
Road closed, diversion
A snake of tourists meandering
Under grey clouds in Brick England
