Lyrics:
[Verse] After the fire After the storm Post-war London Six years on
At the side of the Thames: Skylon...
Broken walls An end to all good things Open skies Seen through roofless houses
But down by the Thames Three-hundred feet above the river Soaring higher than church spires: Skylon...
Rising up before me; Floating in midair I lost myself in wonder It was something from Dan Dare
A vision of the future A beacon in the night sky A promise of much better days A new Jerusalem
[Chorus] Looking up at Skylon Lost in a dream of impossible things A brave new world to come
Underneath the Skylon Colours in a grey world A pick-me-up for the nation The work of giants Here in London Town...
[Verse] Bells fall silent Thrown to the ground Books are burning Fired at low tide
But down by the Thames Mighty marvels will arise Science lighting up the dark nights: Skylon...
A vision of the future Rising at the water's edge The turning wheels of industry Invention and makers of wonder
We'll be the new Elizabethans Explorers of distant land Make ourselves a better place A new Jerusalem
[Chorus] Looking up at Skylon Lost in a dream of impossible things A brave new world to come
Underneath the Skylon Colours in a grey world A pick-me-up for the nation The work of giants Here in London Town...
