XTC — Red Brick Dream

[Verse 1] Red brick dream, windows scream As the rusting North Star shines above And drops its iron beams Crashing down upon the roofs of Swindon Town [B part 1] I heard the engine's dying breath Castles and kings all starved to death I dropped the Coronation cup Please don't wake them up from red brick dream [Verse 2] Red brick dream, buttons gleam By the light of the furnace pouring Molten memories Splashing down upon the roofs of Swindon Town [B part 2] The men of muscle piston rods Who forged the horses of the Gods They made the town a set of chains Sleeping it remains in red brick dream
