moonshake - cranes lyrics

Loading...

the builders are earning their daily bread
and they make sure they eat it every day at one o’clock
and the foreman knocks it on the head
and they take up their tools at roughly two on the dot

the cranes, they built this town
girder by girder, so high off the ground
and the cranes, they built this town

the temps’ off+the+phone voices gossip as they type
and they file to the tube every night at five o’clock
and the clerks knock back their halves and pints, look at the crosswords and girls’ legs till the train’s next stop

and the cranes, they built this town
not even a war could bring it down
and the cranes, they built this town

the taxis glisten black in rows at the station
he got his first fare outside the bar at twelve o’clock
and he half+listens with an ear’s worth of patience
the drunk and his fare+dodging friend in the back

outside, cranes like the skeletons of giants with one great arm
after the wrecking ball comes the calm

and the cranes, they built this town
and they’ll build it up again if it ever falls down
and the cranes, they built this town
the housewife’s dreams evaporate as her husband’s nightshift ends at eight
and she walks the kids down to the park
where the bushes still hide the dirty litter of the dark

and the cranes, they built this town
the cranes, they built this town
the cranes, they built this town
the cranes, they built this town
the cranes
