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

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
