Levellers - Our Forgotten Towns lyrics

Artist: Levellers

album: Static On The Airwaves (Special Edition)


Remember those parades and the county fair
Wearing Sunday best, so debonair
Now only ghostly spectres brawl
Echo the pavement's hard footfall
Torn by wind through empty roads
On the closed by-pass. abandoned loads
No ferry boat, pub or general store
There's nowhere open any more
Our forgotten towns are calling
The death of Albion they're mourning
Cracks showing in the market halls
Dying in the shadow of a shopping mall
These are our forgotten towns
Slowly raised but quickly drowned
A legacy of industrial jails
Steelworks rusting and concrete failed
One more community implodes
And you're nothing, a nobody
Just another barcode
