Smith & Taylor |
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 |
