[00:20.837]Road like the surface of the moon
[00:25.989]A Detroit neighbourhood left to ruin
[00:31.272]Gil at the wheel, showing me the sight
[00:34.559]Of this crumbling empire
[00:41.677]Following suit in the Atlantic mirror
[00:46.906]Under the Byker bridge, they shiver
[00:51.890]It’s one for me, and one for the dead and one
[00:55.389]For my crumbling empire
[01:02.001]I’m not preaching, I’m just talking
[01:07.154]I don’t wear the shoes I used to walk in
[01:12.673]But I can’t help thinking where they’d take me
[01:16.173]In this crumbling empire
[01:23.370]My old man worked on the rail yard
[01:28.608]Getting his trade on the electrical board
[01:33.304]It got privatised, the work degraded
[01:36.948]In this crumbling empire
[01:44.284]My mother delivered most the kids in this town
[01:49.434]My stepdad drove in a tank for the crown
[01:54.577]They left them homeless, down and out
[01:58.138]In their crumbling empire
[02:04.423]I’m not preaching, I’m just talking
[02:09.775]I don’t wear the shoes I used to walk in
[02:15.325]But I can’t help thinking where I’d be
[02:18.870]In this crumbling empire
[02:24.058]In this crumbling empire
[02:29.569]In this crumbling empire
[02:34.570]In this crumbling, in this crumbling empire
[02:46.856]Earl was a kid when they threw him out
[02:52.020]Living on the streets down Camden Town
[02:57.352]Under the arches, strung right out
[03:00.600]In a crumbling empire
[03:07.747]Twenty five years on crack and dope
[03:12.968]Begging to pay for synthetic hope
[03:17.845]Just another kid failed by these blokes
[03:21.552]And their crumbling empire
[03:27.996]I’m not preaching, I’m just talking
[03:33.222]I don’t wear the shoes I used to walk in
[03:38.839]But I can’t help thinking where they’d take me
[03:42.400]In this crumbling empire
[03:47.534]In this crumbling empire
[03:52.655]In our crumbling empire
[03:57.931]In this crumbling empire
[04:03.134]In our crumbling empire
[04:08.346]In our crumbling empire
[04:13.768]In our crumbling empire
[04:18.755]In our crumbling empire
