There's a bridge over a river
Heavy clouds adn falling water
The tracks you can't cross over
That steal our hopes and seal the border
Down the line the engine's rusting
The tracks are obsolete
Manual workers on their knees
Dig the drains beneath our feet
Beneath our feet
Bring flowers, lay them on the snow
Bring flowers, now you're on your own
Bring flowers, fall down on your knees
Remember me
An artist, an architect and a manual worker
A butcher and a baker and a candlestick maker
These ar ethe heroes of a nation that sets us all free
This is beaten bronze, this is history
Bring flowers, lay them on the snow
Bring flowers, now you're on your own
Bring flowers, fall down on your knees
Remember me
I have built the roads you blocked
Born a building on my back
Put a roof above your head
I've lay'n before the gunners tracks
This is beaten bronze, yea, this one's carned in stone
This is history
And now it's gone
Will the world change for the 24-hour news show?
What can we learn now, what will we ever know?
These are the heores of a nation that sets us all free
This is beaten bronze
This is history
Bring flowers, lay them on the snow
Bring flowers, now you're on your own
Bring flowers, lay down on your knees
Remember me

I have built the roads you blocked

This is beaten bronze, yea, this one's carned in stone
