Intro
Oh oh oh
Oh
Chorus
Stout stones for the crossing
Bright boots in the clay
Built for the girls in the rigging
To finish the bridge today
Finish the bridge today
Verse 1
Swinging my hammer through a freezing fog
Mud stains the hem of my Sunday best dress
Men left for war
Heavy granite slabs move on a rusted winch
Pre-Chorus
Lifting it higher
Higher and higher
Watching the water churn below
Chorus
Stout stones for the crossing
Bright boots in the clay
Built for the girls in the rigging
To finish the bridge today
Finish the bridge today
Post-Chorus
La la la
Working the river
La la la
Verse 2
Crane arms reach like thin skeletal hands
The Thames runs cold and grey
No one gave us credit
Steel cables bite into our raw red palms
Pre-Chorus
Lifting it higher
Higher and higher
Watching the water churn below
Chorus
Stout stones for the crossing
Bright boots in the clay
Built for the girls in the rigging
To finish the bridge today
Finish the bridge today
Post-Chorus
La la la
Working the river
La la la
Bridge
They said we couldn't
They said we shouldn't
They said we wouldn't
But look at the arch spanning the tide
Verse 3
Tea in a tin mug feels like a dream
Laughter rings out across the South Bank
We built the span
Solid cement stands firm against the bombing
Chorus
Stout stones for the crossing
Bright boots in the clay
Built for the girls in the rigging
To finish the bridge today
Finish the bridge today
