Pogues lyrics : "White City"

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 it's 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
