Smith & Taylor

Lyrics

Built with lives
 Remembered in plans
 A history of no ones
 For the glory of just one man
 Should Smith now fall
 Then Taylor takes his place
 We're measuring our progress
 By burying our waste
 Pyramids, palaces
 Railways and mills
 Viaducts, offices
 Pipelines and canals
 Bells for the architect
 Ringing through the land
 A hundred honest men to wash
 The ink stains from his hands
 For the forging of words
 Comes easy as sleep
 Stones for Smith & Taylor
 Their memories to keep
 Every maiden voyage
 Leaves a widow on the shore
 And every blessed spire
 Sees the earth get its reward
