lyrics

My lot is an underdeveloped plot.
Permission granted but building’s stopped
before it started and so I’m not
progressing as fast as I’d thought
that I would have done
and more than once I’ve wondered how it is
that this is.

I, townplanner.
Please, forgive my manner,
I’m impotence personified
and yet it seems I’m always to blame
for another’s gain.

On open land I wished to build
but I am waiting now until
there are the means to form upon
a life on well-laid foundations
that were put in place,
whilst all the grace I wanted to display
is stored away.

I, townplanner.
Please, forgive my manner
I’m elegance personified
and yet it seems I’m always to blame
for another’s gain.

For unelected, read rejected,
for qualified - one to deride.
No proposal, to save me,
no policy or opportunity.

Survey this site you’ll see the blight
sustainable in its own right.
Greenfield, brownfield left as it is.
No compensation for the misfortune
we have faced,
it’s such a waste.

I, townplanner.
Please, forgive my manner.
I’m dignity personified
and yet it seems I’m always to blame
for another’s gain.
