Don't have the words or tune but wanted to cast my vote for "tearing down".

The song is on the Dubliners album " Live in Carre ", Amsterdam, which also I think was the late great Luke Kelly's last performance with them. Regards, Dave

For those that would like the words. The DT has them here: BUILDING UP AND TEARING ENGLAND DOWN

(Thanks to BAZ?)
