All GONE an original song....by Greg Harper

A lighthearted song with a serious message. Dedicated to all the Town Planners. We only have one planet. Let's look after it. Written for Titnore Wood on the outskirts of Worthing, West Sussex. Nature has a very fragile balance
....LYRICS......
ALL GONE
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
Its 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
Its 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
Theres garbage all around
The council says
Its all a mess
Well pull the whole lot down
Its all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town

So now the carbons high
In the azure sky
And the verges turned to weeds
Some bright spark says
Lets make a park
And fill it full of trees
It seems to me were led by fools
With the faithless smile of a clown
Its all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
Its all gone all gone
All gone all gone
All gone to make a town
