lyrics

London Bridge - by Andy Roberts

The sun rises through the Twin Towers
as I'm walking from train to train
The wind it is fresh and it smells of the ocean
I'm just crossing the city again with the cormorants underneath London Bridge

The wake from a barge laps the foreshore
there are aeroplane trails in the sky
ahead is the crowd and they're marching straight at me
I'm swimming against the stream like for cormorants underneath London Bridge

There are times I'd like to dive for cover when the life on the surface is hard I'd fold back my wings and plunge down below like the cormorants underneath the London Bridge

They are there every day in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon to fishing and swimming at the flying and diving because that is what cormorant to do

The skyline is constantly changing it's like a building that's never complete
but the battleship has been there forever and if you see Tower Bridge opening that's a treat

There are not and there never have been any bluebirds in Southeast Kent
So if you go wandering over the cliff tops don't go wondering where they went
but it's true yes it's really true
that there's cormorants underneath London Bridge
