High rise (single edit)

Looking from the top of the
High rise
You can see the heart
Of the city
Looking from the top of the
High rise
It all seems so pretty
Crossing the Thames on Hungerford Bridge
You can see them milling around
The trains from Charing Cross going down
Out of town
London Bridge as the sun sinks low
You point out where we go tomorrow
Saint Paul's in a shimmering glow
And now I know
Looking from the top of the
High rise
You can see the heart
Of the city
Looking from the top of the
High rise
It all seems so pretty
Suddenly, we're in a lift
You take me down to earth
Sweet smells of street food, sounds of mirth
A chill wind blows
You hold me close
I smell your cologne
It's as if we're home
Looking from the top of the
High rise
You can see the heart
Of the city
Looking from the top of the
High rise
It all seems so pretty
Looking from the top of the
High rise
You can see the heart
Of the city
Looking from the top of the
High rise
It all seems so pretty
Looking from the top of the
High rise
You can see the heart
Of the city
Looking from the top of the
High rise
It all seems so pretty
Looking from the top of the
High rise
You can see the heart
Of the city
Looking from the top of the
High rise
It all seems so pretty

Ancient lands
04:18
|
|||
There comes a time in the history of all the lands
When we consider our past and the blood on our hands
We may be absolved by our enlightened thinking
But there's often no denying the bloodline linking
Us to our forebears' terrible actions
And, embarrassed, we teach our history with redactions
The devil makes work for idle hands
Yes, the devil makes work for idle hands
Of mice and men, the best laid plans
Fall apart, for time runs as sands
The devil makes work for idle hands
All across these ancient lands
Conquerers and colonisers
Pillaged their way across the globe
Why should they celebrated
Given a crown and a robe
History is drenched with blood
Of the underprepared
Invasions brought great misery
For those who dared
The devil makes work for idle hands
Yes, the devil makes work for idle hands
Of mice and men, the best laid plans
Fall apart, for time runs as sands
The devil makes work for idle hands
All across these ancient lands
Though it's thought we've come to our senses
But then there's corporate greed
Driving up the poverty
There are more mouths to feed
A class system, us and them
Not in my back yard
Bushfires raging out of control
Our precious Earth is scarred
The devil makes work for idle hands
Yes, the devil makes work for idle hands
Of mice and men, the best laid plans
Fall apart, for time runs as sands
The devil makes work for idle hands
All across these ancient lands
There comes a time in the history of all the lands
When we consider our past and the blood on our hands
We may be absolved by our enlightened thinking
But there's often no denying the bloodline linking
Us to our forebears' terrible actions
And, embarrassed, we teach our history with redactions

Suddenly, we're in a lift
You take me down to earth
Sweet smells of street food, sounds of mirth
A chill wind blows
You hold me close
I smell your cologne
It's as if we're home
The city
So you've made it to the city and your living large
Everyone assumes that you're the one in charge
My heart goes out to you,
You know I'm kinda jealous
Always over thinking it
Worrying about the others
You've gotta
Break some hearts, and maybe bed some people
More or less you gotta keep it legal
I always kind of knew that you'd be big in this city
Take some time out
Work the rhyme out
Sing your heart out
The city
The city
