ALL GONE Do you rememberTravelin' 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 Copyright © 2000-2010 Greg Harper.
