(Shane MacGowan)
Here a tower shinning bright
Once stood gleaming in the night

Where now there's just the rubble
In the hole here the paddies and the frogs
Came to gamble on the dogs

Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago

Oh the torn up ticket stubs

From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car-parks going up

And they're pulling down the pubs
And its just another bloody rainy day


Oh sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view

And the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Like the black dog that once raced

Out from trap two
