View From A Bus (to the tune of 16 Tons)
Fifty-two million
And what have we got?
A lot of old rubbish
That's been left to rot.
Five million left with so much to do
Come out everybody
And join the queue!
Now the Vestry Hall
Well that's a sight
Shutters all up
To keep out the light.
The only lights there are to be seen
Are the pathetic little few
Seen on the green!
The difference I see
Are the shutters on shops
Half don't work
It's not a fair cop.
O my Lord, what can we do
Goods to sell
But they block out the view!
People of Burngreave
C'mon wake up
Money's all gone
Now it's down to potluck.
The last five years has all been a dream
We'll have to wait longer
Until new funding comes on stream!
Fifty-two million
And what have we got?
A lot of old rubbish
That's been left to rot.
Five million left with so much to do
Come out everybody
And join the queue!
