Imagine this: the Victorians built a road, It led from the welcoming railway down to the sea, A beautiful promenade with attractive shops down one side and incredible houses with gardens down the other You know what happened (yeah, you do) It was ruined (say it ain't so) The splendour has gone... replaced with cheap who-knows-what Oh come on, ya know it's true (cry baby cry) Along came the council man who said... I know... let's replace the gardens with something worse Along came the council man who said... I know... let's completely block the view of the sea Along came the council man who said... I know... let's paint the road red and blue Along came the council man who said... I know... let's not do what the community wants (but we can spaff 400K in doing nothing) Along came the council man who said... I know... let's sit back and watch it rot (we be good at that) You know what happened (yeah, you do) It was ruined (say it ain't so) The splendour has gone... replaced with cheap who-knows-what Oh come on, ya know it's true (cry baby cry) Don't look at it now Don't look at it now Don't look at it now... you'll cry too
