lyrics

Down another, less strong each time
Walls bake up three thousand watts lights
Fire up behind my brain
I'm in circuit I'm telly blue
Used to be with 5 others now I live in a ball
Out rods of steel heaped
Out no union rats
Out work is done

It is imperial soot & slime
Pride of a million able bodies

Chewed up and with a taste for bitters
Still there are two bridges to go
Barges rusting in stale black water
Housing scheme behind the fence
Moves silently and very fast

It is imperial soot & slime
Pride of a million able bodies
Ships feed the imperial bride
Churns out gold the imperial bride
