ALL GONE
Music & Lyrics by Greg Harper
Do you remember
Travelin' down the lane
Under a canopy of trees
Standing proud above you
Blowing in the breeze
But the chainsaw came
The smoke the flame
They burnt the whole lot down
It's all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
Do you remember
Playing in the woods
A happy carefree sound
Cowboys and indians hide and seek
You never could be found
The shapes the swells
The moss the dells
Growing on the edge of the downs
It's all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
Green to grey
Night to day
Joy turned to sorrow
Short-sighted man
A new town plan
Here today
Gone tomorrow
A few years pass
And the bus-shelter glass
Is shattered on the ground
Some drunken arse flat-out on the grass
There's garbage all around
The council says
It's all a mess
We'll pull the whole lot down
It's all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
So now the carbon's high
In the azure sky
And the verges turned to weeds
Some bright spark says
Let's make a park
And fill it full of trees
It seems to me we're led by fools
With the faithless smile of a clown
It's all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
It's all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
