They're takin down trees, outside in our street
I don't understand, it doesn't seem reet, Thev stood wind and rain, an two world wars, Thev stood much longer than thee and I knows An I know Council sez it's t' do wi' drains, an cracks in't pavements, but I think it's insane, how can you think that nature outdoors, can treted like someat your committee deplores They said it were National Tree Week next week In your grand council chamber, where motions are passed So let's plant a few so't folks see what we do and with this token gesture we won't be harassed But that's not what I've heard, no not at all A few saplings won't mend that hole in the wall It won't fix that connection my grand fatha felt when back in 1920 we had our first bit of green belt and ever since then, when we've walked out our door We've seen bright shoots of hope and heard songs evermore and understood what was meant by whispering loveliness So let's stand together and stop this fuckin' daft ness.
