Lyrics

Evening
When the sun begins to sink
Behind the smoke
There's a burning red glow all around
(All around, all around, all around)
Watching
As the colour starts to fade
And the darkness
Seems to rise out of the ground
Of the ground, out of the ground
(Of the ground, out of the ground)
Walls rise and fall and
Now they're building tall
In the city
Brick England
They build them up and
Then they knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England
Oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Woah, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Woah, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Woah, oh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Evening
Creeps beyond the terrace walls
Up the church steeples
And the chimney-pots so high
(So high, so high, so high, so high)
Watching
The Moon is lost behind black clouds
And the darkness
Seems to crawl up to the sky
To the sky, up to the sky
To the sky, up to the sky
Walls rise and fall and
Now they're building tall
In the city
Brick England
They build them up and
Then they knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England
Brick, brick, brick, brick
Brick, brick, brick, brick
Brick, brick, brick, brick
Brick, brick, brick, brick
England
They build them up and
Then they knock 'em down
To put up another
Brick England
Brick Lane in the rain
(Woah, oh)
Road closed, diversion
(Woah, oh)
A snake of tourists meandering
(Woah, oh)
Under grey cloud
In Brick England
(England, England, England, England, England)
