They stand out in the estuary
\nIn about one hundred feet
\nOf sea water these massive forts
\nThe Maunsell gun towers meet
\nAll of the objectives
\nWhen built in 43
\nTo shoot down Nazi aircraft
\nAnd the doodlebugs
\nThat be<\/p>\n
Sent over to England
\nFrom Germany
\nAnd they
\nEach holding 264 men
\nThey Quite saved the day
\nSix miles off of Minster
\nPlanted in the sea
\nOperated by the navy
\nAnd successful actually<\/p>\n
They loom out of the mist
\nTheir ghostly towers
\nAppear to be
\nSomething that is a surprise
\nThats If you ask me
\nThey were made up on the land
\nAnd erected out at sea
\nPlanted there
\nAmazingly
\nAnd Still there
\nFor all to see<\/p>\n
The design was clearly
\nAble to withstand the forces there
\nPounded by the salty sea
\nEach one kind of square
\nA sort of extra terrestial look
\nWeird to modern man
\nBuilt in 1943
\nTo what was a clever plan
\nFor despite the time
\nThey have been there
\nThey are still there to this day
\nHaving seen the pirate radio’s
\nOff
\nAnd Project Redsand’s play<\/p>\n
A kind of voluntary maintenance
\nAngels taking care
\nOf what is rather special
\nAnd I am happy to know they are there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
