Lyrics:Red Brick Dream

by XTC

Red brick dream Windows scream As the rusting North Star shines above And drops its iron beams Crashing down upon the rooves of Swindon Town I heard the engine's dying breath Castles and kings all starved to death I dropped the coronation cup Sshh, please don't wake them up from Red brick dream Red brick dream Buttons gleam By the light of the furnace pouring Molten memories Splashing down upon the rooves of Swindon Town The men of muscle piston rods Who forged the horses of the gods They made the town a set of chains And sleeping it remains in Red brick dream
