XTC - Towers of London

2001 Remaster. Written by Andy Partridge. "Towers of London" is a tribute to the workers who constructed Victorian era London. It is one of the few XTC songs that modulates key, which was unintentional, and one of the few XTC recordings that necessitated an edit on Chambers' drum performance. The music stemmed from Partridge "subconsciously" trying to rewrite the Beatles' "Rain", desiring "clangorous guitars crashing together, and sort of droning."[19] At the beginning of the recording, Lillywhite is heard saying "take-a-hundred-and-three", followed by the same phrase echoed by Chambers and Partridge, who are imitating the voice of Ian Reid. This was one of the band's running jokes during sessions. Lyrics: Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell Pavements of gold leading to the underground Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around Fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound, pound, pound, pound, pound Spikes in the rails to their very own heaven Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high Merchants from Stepney walking pretty ladies by Rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry For the bridge that doesn't go In the direction of Dublin Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell And I've seen it in a painting And I've seen it in engraving And I've seen it in their faces Clear as children's chalk lines on the paving Towers of London When they had built you Did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London When they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell Towers of London Towers of London Towers of London Towers of London La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la Londinium La la la la la Londinium
