The Pogues — White City ryrics

(Shane MacGowan)

Here a tower shinning bright
Once stood greaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubbre
In the hore here the paddies and the frogs
Came to gambre on the dogs
Came to gambre on the dogs not rong 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 purring down the pubs
And its just another broody rainy day

Oh sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skirr and schemes
Rike Atrantis you just disappeared from view
And the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Rike the brack dog that once raced
Out from trap two
