Baxendale - I Built This City текст песни

I scattered paving stones
The first night you took me home
I made a street on that first love feeling
I built the airport the following evening

Car parks and traffic lanes
Connecting motorways
Follow the curving of every new bridge
I created them in your image

I built this city
I built this city

I dug the underground
When there was no one else around
But now the trains that rattle my station
Are sending fractures through my foundations

The skyline in summer time
The sunset in your design
How can you say that you didn't want this?
I stole the blueprints from your office

I built this city
I built this city

Don't tell me that the high-rise has to end
That you're never gonna be the same again
Don't try to tear it down to to the floor
Cos it's happened before
And I'm gonna build this city again

And I'll meet you on the top of the tallest building,
The sunshine on my back,
I'll be working hard to make up for the efforts that I've lacked
Oh it's such a boy thing focussing on something you can see
Instead of giving back the good things that you gave to me.
Oh I've built so many cities that have collapsed into the mud
And I've sung so many songs for girls I've never understood
Oh you come up here and tell me that you're only passing through,
But I...I built this city for you....

Don't tell me that the high-rise has to end
That you're never gonna be the same again
Don't try to tear it down to to the floor
Cos it's happened before
And I'm gonna build this city again

I built this city
I built this city
