the locomotives - king canute and queen philippa كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
i used to watch the sun set over a gas_holder
now it’s called chelsea harbour, the sky_line is getting higher
the sun is setting sooner, the air is colder
i watched a black tug pull huge loads up and downstream
it’s crates were painted, that was a year ago
but still the letters show through, there are three, g.l.c

[chorus]
one of the weathers that i like best
is when the summer showers come in from the west
and one of the rivers on which they fall
is becoming a river i don’t know at all

[verse 2]
the queen philippa is the boat i love best on the river
old baltic cruiser, sculpted wood bruiser
maroon and black hull, wakes hit, the timbers shiver
they filmed ‘mona lisa’ at the wharf where we were moored
this band played in coltrane’s home, but now it’s been smashed
to build more bl__dy flats for the spiritually poor, oh how poor

[chorus]
one of the weathers that i like best
is when the summer showers come in from the west
and one of the rivers on which they fall
is becoming a river i don’t know at all
[bridge]
from the silver hoods of the thames barrier
past the peace pagoda in the park
beneath the helicopters, trains and boats and planes and boats and trains
they can’t stop us
go with the flow or stop and say no
need or greed, which do you heed?
you never step in the same river twice
from westland to the docklands
from westland to the docklands
from westland to the docklands to the wasteland

[verse 3]
sweet thames run softly till i end my song
sweet thames run softly for i speak not loud or long
but at my back in a cold blast i hear
the rattle of the bones and the chuckle spread from ear to ear
unreal city
under the brown fog of a winter dawn a crowd flowed over london bridge
so many, i had not thought that death had undone so many
death by water

[chorus]
one of the weathers that i like best
is when the summer showers come in from the west
and one of the rivers on which they fall
is becoming a river i don’t know at all
