Xtc was a New Wave band from Swindon, England, active between 1976 and 2005. Though the band enjoyed some significant chart success (including the UK hits "Making Plans For Nigel" and "Senses Working Overtime" ), they are more known for their long-standing critical success than for making hit records.

Xtc - Towers of London
Click to view
Towers of London when they had built you did you watch over the men who fell Towers of London when they had built you Victoria's gem found in somebody's hell
Pavements of gold leading to the underground Grenadier Guardsmen walking pretty ladies around fog is the sweat of the never never navvies who pound spikes in the rails to their very own heaven
Bridges of muscles spanning so long and high merchants from Stepney walking pretty ladies by rain is the tears of the never never navvies who cry for the bridge that doesn't go in the direction of Dublin
And I've seen it in a painting and I've seen it in engraving and I've seen it in their faces clear as children's chalk lines on the paving
PLEASE ADD THE BALLAD OF PETER PUMPKINHEAD
super rock pop a ecouter !!!!
And it's a great song!
Dear God, that song makes so much sense...
