"Song For Lots"
(J. Whitney / R. Chapman)

Once I lived in green grass
An open country view
Now it's just a power blocking
Above its residue[?]
Gone are songs of songbirds
Spring and the summer too
Just rows and rows of terrace lungs
With demolition dew

Yes, what I'd give
If I could go back to the place
Where I used to live

The city smells of money
The townfolk bring me down
Hustling for their [?] games
A business battleground

Yes, what I'd give
If I could go back to the place
Where I used to live
