COUNTRYSIDE PROTEST
The procession was over one mile long
And we sang and we sang as we marched along,
Waving our banners at the watching throng,
Listening to the words of our protest song,
Delivered with fervour, loud and strong,
Telling the Council they are wrong
To plan to build on the countryside.
Heed us Council, open your eyes,
You’ll find there is no place to hide;
Listen with care to the words we’ve cried
For this protest song is nationwide.
So listen folks to what we say;
If these destructors have their way,
We shall all forever rue the day.
Come on everyone, join my side
To defend our precious countryside.
